[PATCH v2 1/2] x86/tdx: Add helper to query maximum TD Quote size

From: Peter Fang

Date: Fri Jul 17 2026 - 17:45:11 EST


TDX attestation report ("Quote") sizes can grow with newer cryptographic
schemes, so guests can no longer rely on a fixed-size buffer for the
Quote.

Newer TDX modules report the maximum Quote size via a TD-scope metadata
field. Add a helper to query the size instead of exposing tdg_vm_rd()
directly, as it can read arbitrary metadata fields.

Thanks to Xu Yilun for suggesting this in an off-list discussion.

v2:
- Keep the explicit (u32) cast to document the metadata field width. [Binbin]
- Note that Xu Yilun's suggestion was made in an off-list discussion. [Sathya]
- Drop the Assisted-by tags, as the code was not written by AI.
