[PATCH v16 12/20] KVM: selftests: Call KVM_TDX_INIT_VCPU when creating a new TDX vcpu

From: Lisa Wang

Date: Thu Nov 05 2026 - 18:54:13 EST


From: Sagi Shahar <sagis@xxxxxxxxxx>

TDX VMs need to issue the KVM_TDX_INIT_VCPU ioctl for each vcpu after
vcpu creation.

KVM_TDX_INIT_VCPU has a strict prerequisite for the CPUID state. To
satisfy this requirement, call KVM_TDX_GET_CPUID and KVM_SET_CPUID2 to
pull the CPUID configuration from the TDCS and commit it into KVM,
allowing KVM_TDX_INIT_VCPU to succeed.

Additionally, unlike tdx_vm_ioctl(), tdx_vcpu_ioctl() doesn't check
hw_error. KVM's vCPU-scoped TDX ioctl handlers don't propagate SEAMCALL
errors into hw_error: the error is handled in the kernel and only an
errno is returned. Checking the ioctl's return value and errno is
therefore sufficient.
