Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 3/3] x86/virt/seamldr: Support multiple sigstruct pages
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 01:53:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030085304.3886520-4-chao.gao@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261030085304.3886520-1-chao.gao@intel.com>
Each TDX module update image carries a sigstruct, which is passed along
with the module binary to P-SEAMLDR. 'struct seamldr_params' has a single
physical address slot for it, so a sigstruct can be at most one 4KB page.
TDX modules are moving to a post-quantum signature algorithm. Its
signatures are far larger than the ones in use today, so the sigstruct
no longer fits in 4KB.
The P-SEAMLDR ABI was extended for this. It now has four sigstruct
address slots instead of one, for sigstructs of up to 16KB. A new
'version' value of 1 tells P-SEAMLDR that this layout is in use.
Extend 'struct seamldr_params' to match the new ABI.
Set 'version' to 1 only when the sigstruct spans more than one page. Old
P-SEAMLDRs reject version 1, so this keeps updates with a single-page
sigstruct working on them.
Do not query P-SEAMLDR for version 1 support. Userspace selects the
update image and is responsible for ensuring the module is compatible
with P-SEAMLDR.
AI was used under supervision to review code and workshop logs
