Subject: [PATCH v6 18/22] coco/tdx-host: Don't expose P-SEAMLDR features on CPUs with erratum
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 01:44:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326084448.29947-19-chao.gao@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326084448.29947-1-chao.gao@intel.com>

Some TDX-capable CPUs have an erratum, as documented in Intel® Trust
Domain CPU Architectural Extensions (May 2021 edition) Chapter 2.3:

  SEAMRET from the P-SEAMLDR clears the current VMCS structure pointed
  to by the current-VMCS pointer. A VMM that invokes the P-SEAMLDR using
  SEAMCALL must reload the current-VMCS, if required, using the VMPTRLD
  instruction.

Clearing the current VMCS behind KVM's back will break KVM.

This erratum is not present when IA32_VMX_BASIC[60] is set. Add a CPU
bug bit for this erratum and refuse to expose P-SEAMLDR features (e.g.,
TDX module updates) on affected CPUs.

== Alternatives ==
Two workarounds were considered but both were rejected:

1. Save/restore the current VMCS around P-SEAMLDR calls. This produces ugly
   assembly code [1] and doesn't play well with #MCE or #NMI if they
   need to use the current VMCS.

2. Move KVM's VMCS tracking logic to the TDX core code, which would break
   the boundary between KVM and the TDX core code [2].
