[PATCH v5 03/22] cc_platform: Add new attribute to prevent ACPI memory hotplug

From: Kai Huang
Date: Wed Jun 22 2022 - 07:16:15 EST


Platforms with confidential computing technology may not support ACPI
memory hotplug when such technology is enabled by the BIOS. Examples
include Intel platforms which support Intel Trust Domain Extensions
(TDX).

If the kernel ever receives ACPI memory hotplug event, it is likely a
BIOS bug. For ACPI memory hot-add, the kernel should speak out this is
a BIOS bug and reject the new memory. For hot-removal, for simplicity
just assume the kernel cannot continue to work normally, and just BUG().

Add a new attribute CC_ATTR_ACPI_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DISABLED to indicate the
platform doesn't support ACPI memory hotplug, so that kernel can handle
ACPI memory hotplug events for such platform.

In acpi_memory_device_{add|remove}(), add early check against this
attribute and handle accordingly if it is set.
