Subject: [PATCH v8 04/16] x86/virt/tdx: Add skeleton to initialize TDX on demand

Before the TDX module can be used to create and run TDX guests, it must
be loaded and properly initialized.  The TDX module is expected to be
loaded by the BIOS, and to be initialized by the kernel.

TDX introduces a new CPU mode: Secure Arbitration Mode (SEAM).  The host
kernel communicates with the TDX module via a new SEAMCALL instruction.
The TDX module implements a set of SEAMCALL leaf functions to allow the
host kernel to initialize it.

The TDX module can be initialized only once in its lifetime.  Instead
of always initializing it at boot time, this implementation chooses an
"on demand" approach to initialize TDX until there is a real need (e.g
when requested by KVM).  This approach has below pros:

1) It avoids consuming the memory that must be allocated by kernel and
given to the TDX module as metadata (~1/256th of the TDX-usable memory),
and also saves the CPU cycles of initializing the TDX module (and the
metadata) when TDX is not used at all.

2) The TDX module design allows it to be updated while the system is
running.  The update procedure shares quite a few steps with this "on
demand" loading mechanism.  The hope is that much of "on demand"
mechanism can be shared with a future "update" mechanism.  A boot-time
TDX module implementation would not be able to share much code with the
update mechanism.

3) Loading the TDX module requires VMX to be enabled.  Currently, only
the kernel KVM code mucks with VMX enabling.  If the TDX module were to
be initialized separately from KVM (like at boot), the boot code would
need to be taught how to muck with VMX enabling and KVM would need to be
taught how to cope with that.  Making KVM itself responsible for TDX
initialization lets the rest of the kernel stay blissfully unaware of
VMX.

Add a placeholder tdx_enable() to initialize the TDX module on demand.
Use a state machine protected by mutex to make sure the initialization
will only be done once, as it can be called multiple times (i.e. KVM
module can be reloaded) and be called concurrently by other kernel
components in the future.

The TDX module will be initialized in multi-steps defined by the TDX
module and most of those steps involve a specific SEAMCALL:

 1) Get the TDX module information and TDX-capable memory regions
    (TDH.SYS.INFO).
 2) Build the list of TDX-usable memory regions.
 3) Construct a list of "TD Memory Regions" (TDMRs) to cover all
    TDX-usable memory regions.
 4) Pick up one TDX private KeyID as the global KeyID.
 5) Configure the TDMRs and the global KeyID to the TDX module
    (TDH.SYS.CONFIG).
 6) Configure the global KeyID on all packages (TDH.SYS.KEY.CONFIG).
 7) Initialize all TDMRs (TDH.SYS.TDMR.INIT).

v7 -> v8:
 - Refined changelog (Dave).
 - Removed "all BIOS-enabled cpus" related code (Peter/Thomas/Dave).
 - Add a "TODO list" comment in init_tdx_module() to list all steps of
   initializing the TDX Module to tell the story (Dave).
 - Made tdx_enable() unverisally return -EINVAL, and removed nonsense
   comments (Dave).
 - Simplified __tdx_enable() to only handle success or failure.
 - TDX_MODULE_SHUTDOWN -> TDX_MODULE_ERROR
 - Removed TDX_MODULE_NONE (not loaded) as it is not necessary.
 - Improved comments (Dave).
 - Pointed out 'tdx_module_status' is software thing (Dave).

v6 -> v7:
 - No change.

v5 -> v6:
 - Added code to set status to TDX_MODULE_NONE if TDX module is not
   loaded (Chao)
 - Added Chao's Reviewed-by.
 - Improved comments around cpus_read_lock().

- v3->v5 (no feedback on v4):
 - Removed the check that SEAMRR and TDX KeyID have been detected on
   all present cpus.
 - Removed tdx_detect().
 - Added num_online_cpus() to MADT-enabled CPUs check within the CPU
   hotplug lock and return early with error message.
 - Improved dmesg printing for TDX module detection and initialization.
