Subject: [PATCH v3 15/16] x86/virt/tdx: Enable Dynamic PAMT
Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2025 16:22:23 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250918232224.2202592-16-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250918232224.2202592-1-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com>
From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>
The Physical Address Metadata Table (PAMT) holds TDX metadata for
physical memory and must be allocated by the kernel during TDX module
initialization.
The exact size of the required PAMT memory is determined by the TDX
module and may vary between TDX module versions, but currently it is
approximately 0.4% of the system memory. This is a significant
commitment, especially if it is not known upfront whether the machine
will run any TDX guests.
The Dynamic PAMT feature reduces static PAMT allocations. PAMT_1G and
PAMT_2M levels are still allocated on TDX module initialization, but the
PAMT_4K level is allocated dynamically, reducing static allocations to
approximately 0.004% of the system memory.
All pieces are in place. Enable Dynamic PAMT if it is supported.
