Subject: [PATCH v5] x86/virt/tdx: Gate TDH.SYS.DISABLE on X86_FEATURE_TDX_HOST_PLATFORM
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 10:16:50 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103021650.924302-1-challvy.tee@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <09c311c6aae214c04a9a55ff6456d7abfe82c319.camel@intel.com>
Commit 5b25f249be32 ("x86/tdx: Disable the TDX module during kexec and
kdump") made native_machine_crash_shutdown() call tdx_sys_disable(),
whose only gate is compile time (CONFIG_INTEL_TDX_HOST). A kernel that
never initialized the TDX module therefore still issues
TDH.SYS.DISABLE.
In VMX non-root operation on a SEAM-capable host, SEAMCALL causes a VM
exit instead of a native #UD. KVM injects #UD only since
commit 9d7dfb95da2c ("KVM: VMX: Inject #UD if guest tries to execute
SEAMCALL or TDCALL"), first released in v6.18. On an older host the
VMM gets KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR and the vCPU never resumes, so
machine_kexec() is never reached and no vmcore is written. Kdump is
thus broken only in guests on SEAM-capable hosts whose hypervisor does
not handle the exit; plain kexec is unaffected because tdx_shutdown()
only runs as a syscore op, registered after init_tdx_module() succeeds.
Gate the SEAMCALL on X86_FEATURE_TDX_HOST_PLATFORM before issuing it,
the way paddr_is_tdx_private() already guards its own SEAMCALL in this
file. Without that feature the module is never initialized, so there
is nothing to disable; on a TDX host the gate is a no-op.
It also decouples kdump from the host KVM version -- a guest cannot
require its host to inject the #UD.

v4 -> v5:
- Update the subject to name the X86_FEATURE_TDX_HOST_PLATFORM check,
as requested in review. No code change.
- Add the Reviewed-by tags collected on v4.
The reproduction data and the host-side KVM log are unchanged from v4:
