Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] x86/tdx: Add helper to query maximum TD Quote size
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 02:26:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915092632.2822169-2-peter.fang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915092632.2822169-1-peter.fang@intel.com>
TDX attestation report ("Quote") sizes can grow with newer cryptographic
schemes, so guests can no longer rely on a fixed-size buffer for the
Quote.
Newer TDX modules report the maximum Quote size via the
TDCS_QUOTE_MAX_SIZE metadata field [1]. Add a helper to query the size
instead of exposing tdg_vm_rd() directly, as it can read arbitrary
metadata fields.
The reported size covers every Quote type the platform can produce,
including SGX-based Quotes. A runtime TDX module update should not
change the size. So if a Quote does not fit, it is a TDX module bug.
Thanks to Xu Yilun for suggesting this in an off-list discussion.

v4:
- Update the TDCS_QUOTE_MAX_SIZE encoding to 0x9010000200000007. [1]
- Provide documentation for the metadata field. [Rick, Kiryl]
- Document that the reported size covers every Quote type. [Xiaoyao]
- Document that a module update does not change the reported size.
[Tony]
- Add Tony's Reviewed-by.
v3:
- No code changes. Add Binbin's Reviewed-by.
v2:
- Keep the explicit (u32) cast to document the metadata field width.
[Binbin]
- Note that Xu Yilun's suggestion was made in an off-list discussion.
[Sathya]
- Drop the Assisted-by tags, as the code was not written by AI.
