[PATCH V4 0/4] x86/tdx: Route safe halt execution via tdx_safe_halt()
From: Vishal Annapurve
Date: Tue Feb 11 2025 - 19:08:18 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. So "sti;hlt" sequence needs to
be replaced with "TDCALL; raw_local_irq_enable()" for TDX VMs.
Changes introduced by the series include:
- Move *halt() variants outside CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL and under
CONFIG_PARAVIRT [1].
- Route "sti; hlt" sequences via tdx_safe_halt() for reliability.
- Route "hlt" sequences via tdx_halt() to avoid unnecessary #VEs.
- Add explicit dependency on CONFIG_PARAVIRT for TDX VMs.
- Warn and fail emulation if HLT #VE emulation executes with interrupts
enabled.
- Clean up TDX specific idle routine override.
Changes since v3:
1) Addressed comments from Sean.
2) Included [1] in the series to fix the scenarios where
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL could be disabled.
