Right.  The reason I didn't put the seamcall() into previous patch was it is
only used in this tdx.c, so it should be static.  But adding a static function
w/o using it in previous patch will trigger a compile warning.  So I introduced
here where it is first used.

One option is I can introduce seamcall() as a static inline function in tdx.h in
previous patch so there won't be a warning.  I'll change to use this way. 
Please let me know if you have any comments.

Right.  Please see above reply.

I can add this to seamcall():

	/*
	 * SEAMCALL requires CPU being in VMX operation otherwise it causes
#UD.
	 * Sanity check and return early to avoid Oops.  Note cpu_vmx_enabled()
	 * actually only checks whether VMX is enabled but doesn't check
whether
	 * CPU is in VMX operation (VMXON is done).  There's no way to check
	 * whether VMXON has been done, but currently enabling VMX and doing
	 * VMXON are always done together.
	 */
	if (!cpu_vmx_enabled())	 {
		WARN_ONCE("CPU is not in VMX operation before making
SEAMCALL");
		return -EINVAL;
	}

The reason I didn't do is I'd like to make seamcall() simple, that it only
returns TDX_SEAMCALL_VMFAILINVALID or the actual SEAMCALL leaf error.  With
above, this function also returns kernel error code, which isn't good.

Alternatively, we can always add EXTABLE to TDX_MODULE_CALL macro to handle #UD
and #GP by returning dedicated error codes (please also see my reply to previous
patch for the code needed to handle), in which case we don't need such check
here.

Always handling #UD in TDX_MODULE_CALL macro also has another advantage:  there
will be no Oops for #UD regardless the issue that "there's no way to check
whether VMXON has been done" in the above comment.

What's your opinion?
