[PATCH V3 2/2] x86/tdx: Emit warning if IRQs are enabled during HLT #VE handling
From: Vishal Annapurve
Date: Thu Feb 06 2025 - 17:28:27 EST
Direct HLT instruction execution causes #VEs for TDX VMs which is routed
to hypervisor via TDCALL. safe_halt() routines execute HLT in STI-shadow
so IRQs need to remain disabled until the TDCALL to ensure that pending
IRQs are correctly treated as wake events.
Emit warning and fail emulation if IRQs are enabled during HLT #VE handling
to avoid running into scenarios where IRQ wake events are lost resulting in
indefinite HLT execution times.
