Because the hardware doesn't guarantee cache coherency among different KeyIDs, the old kernel needs to flush cache (of those TDX private pages) before booting to the new kernel. Also, reading TDX private page using any shared non-TDX KeyID with integrity-check enabled can trigger #MC. Therefore ideally, the kernel should convert all TDX private pages back to normal before booting to the new kernel. However, this implementation doesn't convert TDX private pages back to normal in kexec() because of below considerations: 1) The kernel doesn't have existing infrastructure to track which pages are TDX private pages. 2) The number of TDX private pages can be large, and converting all of them (cache flush + using MOVDIR64B to clear the page) in kexec() can be time consuming. 3) The new kernel will almost only use KeyID 0 to access memory. KeyID 0 doesn't support integrity-check, so it's OK. 4) The kernel doesn't (and may never) support MKTME. If any 3rd party kernel ever supports MKTME, it should do MOVDIR64B to clear the page with the new MKTME KeyID (just like TDX does) before using it. Therefore, this implementation just flushes cache to make sure there are no stale dirty cachelines associated with any TDX private KeyIDs before booting to the new kernel, otherwise they may silently corrupt the new kernel. Following SME support, use wbinvd() to flush cache in stop_this_cpu(). Theoretically, cache flush is only needed when the TDX module has been initialized. However initializing the TDX module is done on demand at runtime, and it takes a mutex to read the module status. Just check whether TDX is enabled by BIOS instead to flush cache. Also, the current TDX module doesn't play nicely with kexec(). The TDX module can only be initialized once during its lifetime, and there is no ABI to reset the module to give a new clean slate to the new kernel. Therefore ideally, if the TDX module is ever initialized, it's better to shut it down. The new kernel won't be able to use TDX anyway (as it needs to go through the TDX module initialization process which will fail immediately at the first step). However, shutting down the TDX module requires all CPUs being in VMX operation, but there's no such guarantee as kexec() can happen at any time (i.e. when KVM is not even loaded). So just do nothing but leave leave the TDX module open.
