Subject: [PATCH v7 2/6] x86/boot: Avoid #VE during boot for TDX platforms
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@...gle.com>
There are a few MSRs and control register bits which the kernel
normally needs to modify during boot. But, TDX disallows
modification of these registers to help provide consistent security
guarantees. Fortunately, TDX ensures that these are all in the correct
state before the kernel loads, which means the kernel has no need to
modify them.
The conditions to avoid are:
* Any writes to the EFER MSR
* Clearing CR0.NE
* Clearing CR3.MCE
This theoretically makes guest boot more fragile. If, for instance,
EFER was set up incorrectly and a WRMSR was performed, it will trigger
early exception panic or a triple fault, if it's before early
exceptions are set up. However, this is likely to trip up the guest
BIOS long before control reaches the kernel. In any case, these kinds
of problems are unlikely to occur in production environments, and
developers have good debug tools to fix them quickly.
