[PATCH] KVM: x86: TDX: Use validated CPUID entry count for TD init

From: Binbin Wu

Date: Tue Jul 07 2026 - 22:25:21 EST


Use the validated CPUID entry count when parsing CPUID data for
KVM_TDX_INIT_VM.

tdx_td_init() first reads user_data->cpuid.nent to size the flexible
kvm_tdx_init_vm copy. The copied structure also contains cpuid.nent, and
that field can differ from the value used to size the allocation if
userspace modifies the input concurrently. setup_tdparams_cpuids() later
passes init_vm->cpuid.nent to kvm_find_cpuid_entry2(), which uses it as
the array bound for the copied entries.

Overwrite the copied nent with the validated count so CPUID parsing is
bounded by the number of entries actually copied.
