On high-level comment: this whole series is quite agnostic about what is
actually attested. On some level, I guess it doesn't matter. But, it
makes me a bit uneasy. There needs to be at least *some* kind of claim
about that somewhere, preferably a sentence in the cover letter and
sentence or two here.

Second, how can someone test this code? It appears that they need to
assemble a veritable Rube Goldberg machine. The least we could do is
have a selftest that just calls the ioctl() and makes sure that
something halfway sane comes out of it.

Huh? How is sysfs "insecure"?

One of those 0's is a "Report sub type". Those bits in the module call
are presumably because it won't *always* be zero. But, if there's ever
a new report type, we'll need another user/kernel ABI. That doesn't
seem great.

The TDX module spec doesn't even give a name to "sub report type 0".
That is not super helpful for deciding what it *means*.

Right now, the entire ABI is basically:

ret = ioctl(TDX_GET_REPORT, &buffer);

That _implies_ a ton of stuff:

1. report sub type 0
2. a specific input length REPORTDATA
3. a specific output length

I don't want to over-engineer this thing, but it would make a lot of
sense to me to feed the ioctl() with something like this:

struct tdx_report
{
u8 report_sub_type;
u64 report_input_data;
u64 report_input_data_len;

u64 report_output_data;
u64 report_output_data_len;
}

That makes *everything* explicit. It makes it utterly clear what goes
where, *AND* it makes userspace declare it.

But, you have:

and a bunch of code copying in and out of this structure:

But none of that code even bothers to *use* the structure!

What's with the union? Are you really just trying to save 64 bytes of
space? Is that worth it?

How many of these "drivers" are we going to need which are thinly veiled
ioctl()s that are only TDX module call wrappers?
