[PATCH v2 0/8] KVM: VMX: Harden against interpreting TDX vCPU as vcpu_vmx
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Wed Aug 26 2026 - 13:20:31 EST
Move and rename "all" (read: everything I could find) common helpers out of
vmx.c and/or replace their vmx_ prefix with vt_, and then poison to_vmx() for
all common .c files to harden KVM against misinterpreting a TDX vCPU as a VMX
vCPU, i.e. consuming to_vmx() on a TDX vCPU. Spotted when working through
the bus lock series.
As with v1, the TDX changes are compile-tested only.
v2:
- Complete my train of though in patch 1's changelog. [Binbin]
- Rename vmx_handle_exit_irqoff() => vt_handle_exit_irqoff. [Binbin, Sashiko]
- Collect a review. [Binbin]
- Move and rename everything I could find, using a dummy "struct vcpu_vmx_tdx"
to allow relocating common inline helpers from vmx.h to common.h.
