Linux kernel source tree

KVM needs two classes of global metadata to create and run TDX guests:
- "TD Control Structures"
- "TD Configurability"
The first class contains the sizes of TDX guest per-VM and per-vCPU
control structures. KVM will need to use them to allocate enough space
for those control structures.
The second class contains info which reports things like which features
are configurable to TDX guest etc. KVM will need to use them to
properly configure TDX guests.
Read them for KVM TDX to use.
The code change is auto-generated by re-running the script in [1] after
uncommenting the "td_conf" and "td_ctrl" part to regenerate the
tdx_global_metadata.{hc} and update them to the existing ones in the
kernel.
#python tdx.py global_metadata.json tdx_global_metadata.h \
tdx_global_metadata.c
The 'global_metadata.json' can be fetched from [2].
Note that as of this writing, the JSON file only allows a maximum of 32
CPUID entries. While this is enough for current contents of the CPUID
leaves, there were plans to change the JSON per TDX module release which
would change the ABI and potentially prevent future versions of the TDX
module from working with older kernels.
While discussions are ongoing with the TDX module team on what exactly
constitutes an ABI breakage, in the meantime the TDX module team has
agreed to not increase the number of CPUID entries beyond 128 without
an opt in. Therefore the file was tweaked by hand to change the maximum
number of CPUID_CONFIGs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
