[PATCH v9 08/23] coco/tdx-host: Expose P-SEAMLDR information via sysfs
From: Chao Gao
Date: Wed May 13 2026 - 11:20:50 EST
TDX module updates require userspace to select the appropriate module
to load. Expose necessary information to facilitate this decision. Two
values are needed:
- P-SEAMLDR version: for compatibility checks between TDX module and
P-SEAMLDR
- num_remaining_updates: indicates how many updates can be performed
Expose them as tdx-host device attributes. Make seamldr attributes
visible only when the update feature is supported, as that's their sole
purpose.
Note that the underlying P-SEAMLDR attributes are available regardless of
update support; this only restricts their visibility in Linux.

v8:
- explain when the two attributes are available and how they relate to TDX
module update support [Rick]
- drop erratum stuff [Rick, Dave]
- drop the separate directory for p-seamldr attributes [Dave]
- s/SEAM loader/P-SEAMLDR
- don't use DEFINE_SIMPLE_SYSFS_GROUP_VISIBLE() as it doesn't work on
an unnamed group.

+Description: (RO) Report the number of remaining updates. TDX maintains a
+ log about each TDX module that has been loaded. This log has
+ a finite size, which limits the number of TDX module updates
+ that can be performed.
+
+ After each successful update, the number reduces by one. Once it
+ reaches zero, further updates will fail until next reboot. The
+ number is always zero if the P-SEAMLDR doesn't support updates.

+ See Intel® Trust Domain Extensions - SEAM Loader (SEAMLDR)
+ Interface Specification, Chapter "SEAMLDR_INFO" and Chapter
+ "SEAMLDR.INSTALL" for more information.
