Linux kernel source tree
e414b10058
All of the x86 KVM guest types (VMX, SEV and TDX) do some special context tracking when entering guests. This means that the actual guest entry sequence must be noinstr. Part of entering a TDX guest is passing a physical address to the TDX module. Right now, that physical address is stored as a 'struct page' and converted to a physical address at guest entry. That page=>phys conversion can be complicated, can vary greatly based on kernel config, and it is definitely _not_ a noinstr path today. There have been a number of tinkering approaches to try and fix this up, but they all fall down due to some part of the page=>phys conversion infrastructure not being noinstr friendly. Precalculate the page=>phys conversion and store it in the existing 'tdx_vp' structure. Use the new field at every site that needs a tdvpr physical address. Remove the now redundant tdx_tdvpr_pa(). Remove the __flatten remnant from the tinkering. Note that only one user of the new field is actually noinstr. All others can use page_to_phys(). But, they might as well save the effort since there is a pre-calculated value sitting there for them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
