This is the Intel version of a confidential computing solution called
Trust Domain Extensions (TDX). This series adds support to run the
kernel as part of a TDX guest. It provides similar guest protections to
AMD's SEV-SNP like guest memory and register state encryption, memory
integrity protection and a lot more.
Design-wise, it differs from AMD's solution considerably: it uses
a software module which runs in a special CPU mode called (Secure
Arbitration Mode) SEAM. As the name suggests, this module serves as sort
of an arbiter which the confidential guest calls for services it needs
during its lifetime.
Just like AMD's SNP set, this series reworks and streamlines certain
parts of x86 arch code so that this feature can be properly accomodated.
