[PATCH v1 3/8] x86/virt/tdx: Add a table-driven TDX global metadata reader

From: Chao Gao

Date: Tue Aug 04 2026 - 07:32:39 EST


From: Dave Hansen <dave@xxxxxxxx>

The auto-generated tdx_global_metadata.c populates each member of
'struct tdx_sys_info' with a chain like

if (!ret && !(ret = read_sys_metadata_field(0x..., &val)))
sysinfo_xxx->member = val;

repeated once per field, with a bare hex literal for the field ID and an
implicit narrowing assignment. Reading it requires the JSON file, and
reviewing any change to it requires the out-of-tree script.

Replace it with a small table-driven reader. Each table entry pairs
a named MD_FIELD_ID_* with the C member that holds its value:

#define MAP_FEATURES(_field_id, _member) \
TD_SYSINFO_MAP(_field_id, tdx_sys_info_features, _member)

static const struct tdx_sys_field features_fields[] __initconst = {
MAP_FEATURES(TDX_FEATURES0, tdx_features0),
};

TD_SYSINFO_MAP() derives the destination offset and width from the
struct via offsetof()/sizeof_field().

Add read_sys_metadata_table() to walk such a table, reading each field
and populating the C struct.

Three things fall out of this table-driven reader, all of which matter now
that the code is hand-maintained rather than auto-generated:

- The field-to-member pairing becomes data rather than code embedded
in control flow.
- The read logic exists once instead of once per field.
- The width is recorded explicitly instead of being implied by a
narrowing assignment.

Convert the 'features' class only, as an example. The remaining classes
follow in later patches.
