[PATCH v8 11/21] x86/virt/tdx: Reset software states during TDX module shutdown

From: Chao Gao

Date: Mon Apr 27 2026 - 11:38:59 EST


The TDX module requires a one-time global initialization (TDH.SYS.INIT) and
per-CPU initialization (TDH.SYS.LP.INIT) before use. These initializations
are guarded by software flags to prevent repetition.

After TDX module updates, the new TDX module requires the same global and
per-CPU initializations, but the existing software flags prevent
re-initialization.

Reset all software flags guarding the initialization flows to allow the
global and per-CPU initializations to be triggered again after updates.

As tdx_module_initialized is changed at runtime, drop its "__ro_after_init"
tag.
