A cache flush is required in case TDX has been enabled before doing a kexec to avoid silent memory corruption in the new kernel. An upstream submission [0] fix this. The upstream submission is now a v8 and is likely to be merged soon. 4 conditions are required at runtime to enable TDX Host: - Hibernation disabled. - TDX enabled in the bios. - kvm_intel.tdx=1 set in the bootcommand line. - Hardware support. Two limitation are coming with this submission: - In specific platforms (SPR/EMR), enabling TDX (all conditions fulfilled) will disable kexec due to hardware limitations. - After kexec, TDX can't be used. This error will manifest by having a dmesg entry similar to: virt/tdx: SEAMCALL (0x0000000000000021) failed: 0xc000050000000000 This has been applied on top of questing Ubuntu-6.17.0-3.3 and tested on supported hardware by enabling TDX and using kexec into a new kernel.
