+===================================
+Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX)
+===================================
+
+Overview
+========
+TDX stands for Trust Domain Extensions which isolates VMs from
+the virtual-machine manager (VMM)/hypervisor and any other software on
+the platform. For details, see the specifications [1]_, whitepaper [2]_,
+architectural extensions specification [3]_, module documentation [4]_,
+loader interface specification [5]_, guest-hypervisor communication
+interface [6]_, virtual firmware design guide [7]_, and other resources
+([8]_, [9]_, [10]_, [11]_, and [12]_).
+
+

+KVM TDX creation flow
+=====================
+In addition to KVM normal flow, new TDX ioctls need to be called.  The control flow
+looks like as follows.
+
+#. system wide capability check
+
+   * KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES: check if VM type is supported and if TDX_VM_TYPE is
+     supported.
+
+#. creating VM
+
+   * KVM_CREATE_VM
+   * KVM_TDX_CAPABILITIES: query if TDX is supported on the platform.
+   * KVM_TDX_INIT_VM: pass TDX specific VM parameters.
+
+#. creating VCPU
+
+   * KVM_CREATE_VCPU
+   * KVM_TDX_INIT_VCPU: pass TDX specific VCPU parameters.
+
+#. initializing guest memory
+
+   * allocate guest memory and initialize page same to normal KVM case
+     In TDX case, parse and load TDVF into guest memory in addition.
+   * KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION to add and measure guest pages.
+     If the pages has contents above, those pages need to be added.
+     Otherwise the contents will be lost and guest sees zero pages.
+   * KVM_TDX_FINALIAZE_VM: Finalize VM and measurement
+     This must be after KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION.
+
+#. run vcpu
+
+Design discussion
+=================
+
+Coexistence of normal(VMX) VM and TD VM
+---------------------------------------
+It's required to allow both legacy(normal VMX) VMs and new TD VMs to
+coexist. Otherwise the benefits of VM flexibility would be eliminated.
+The main issue for it is that the logic of kvm_x86_ops callbacks for
+TDX is different from VMX. On the other hand, the variable,
+kvm_x86_ops, is global single variable. Not per-VM, not per-vcpu.
+
+Several points to be considered:
+
+  * No or minimal overhead when TDX is disabled(CONFIG_INTEL_TDX_HOST=n).
+  * Avoid overhead of indirect call via function pointers.
+  * Contain the changes under arch/x86/kvm/vmx directory and share logic
+    with VMX for maintenance.
+    Even though the ways to operation on VM (VMX instruction vs TDX
+    SEAM call) is different, the basic idea remains same. So, many
+    logic can be shared.
+  * Future maintenance
+    The huge change of kvm_x86_ops in (near) future isn't expected.
+    a centralized file is acceptable.
+
+- Wrapping kvm x86_ops: The current choice
+
+  Introduce dedicated file for arch/x86/kvm/vmx/main.c (the name,
+  main.c, is just chosen to show main entry points for callbacks.) and
+  wrapper functions around all the callbacks with
+  "if (is-tdx) tdx-callback() else vmx-callback()".
+
+  Pros:
+
+  - No major change in common x86 KVM code. The change is (mostly)
+    contained under arch/x86/kvm/vmx/.
+  - When TDX is disabled(CONFIG_INTEL_TDX_HOST=n), the overhead is
+    optimized out.
+  - Micro optimization by avoiding function pointer.
+
+  Cons:
+
+  - Many boiler plates in arch/x86/kvm/vmx/main.c.
+
+KVM MMU Changes
+---------------
+KVM MMU needs to be enhanced to handle Secure/Shared-EPT. The
+high-level execution flow is mostly same to normal EPT case.
+EPT violation/misconfiguration -> invoke TDP fault handler ->
+resolve TDP fault -> resume execution. (or emulate MMIO)
+The difference is, that S-EPT is operated(read/write) via TDX SEAM
+call which is expensive instead of direct read/write EPT entry.
+One bit of GPA (51 or 47 bit) is repurposed so that it means shared
+with host(if set to 1) or private to TD(if cleared to 0).
+
+- The current implementation
+
+  * Reuse the existing MMU code with minimal update.  Because the
+    execution flow is mostly same. But additional operation, TDX call
+    for S-EPT, is needed. So add hooks for it to kvm_x86_ops.
+  * For performance, minimize TDX SEAM call to operate on S-EPT. When
+    getting corresponding S-EPT pages/entry from faulting GPA, don't
+    use TDX SEAM call to read S-EPT entry. Instead create shadow copy
+    in host memory.
+    Repurpose the existing kvm_mmu_page as shadow copy of S-EPT and
+    associate S-EPT to it.
+  * Treats share bit as attributes. mask/unmask the bit where
+    necessary to keep the existing traversing code works.
+    Introduce kvm.arch.gfn_shared_mask and use "if (gfn_share_mask)"
+    for special case.
+
+    * 0 : for non-TDX case
+    * 51 or 47 bit set for TDX case.
+
+  Pros:
+
+  - Large code reuse with minimal new hooks.
+  - Execution path is same.
+
+  Cons:
+
+  - Complicates the existing code.
+  - Repurpose kvm_mmu_page as shadow of Secure-EPT can be confusing.
+
+New KVM API, ioctl (sub)command, to manage TD VMs
+-------------------------------------------------
+Additional KVM API are needed to control TD VMs. The operations on TD
+VMs are specific to TDX.
+
+- Piggyback and repurpose KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP
+
+  Although not all operation isn't memory encryption, repupose to get
+  TDX specific ioctls.
+
+  Pros:
+
+  - No major change in common x86 KVM code.
+
+  Cons:
+
+  - The operations aren't actually memory encryption, but operations
+    on TD VMs.
