The TDX module global metadata provides system-wide information about the module. TL;DR: Use the TDH.SYS.RD SEAMCALL to tell if the module is good or not. Long Version: 1) Only initialize TDX module with version 1.5 and later TDX module 1.0 has some compatibility issues with the later versions of module, as documented in the "Intel TDX module ABI incompatibilities between TDX1.0 and TDX1.5" spec. Don't bother with module versions that do not have a stable ABI. 2) Get the essential global metadata for module initialization TDX reports a list of "Convertible Memory Region" (CMR) to tell the kernel which memory is TDX compatible. The kernel needs to build a list of memory regions (out of CMRs) as "TDX-usable" memory and pass them to the TDX module. The kernel does this by constructing a list of "TD Memory Regions" (TDMRs) to cover all these memory regions and passing them to the TDX module. Each TDMR is a TDX architectural data structure containing the memory region that the TDMR covers, plus the information to track (within this TDMR): a) the "Physical Address Metadata Table" (PAMT) to track each TDX memory page's status (such as which TDX guest "owns" a given page, and b) the "reserved areas" to tell memory holes that cannot be used as TDX memory. The kernel needs to get below metadata from the TDX module to build the list of TDMRs: a) the maximum number of supported TDMRs b) the maximum number of supported reserved areas per TDMR and, c) the PAMT entry size for each TDX-supported page size. == Implementation == The TDX module has two modes of fetching the metadata: a one field at a time, or all in one blob. Use the field at a time for now. It is slower, but there just are not enough fields now to justify the complexity of extra unpacking. The err_free_tdxmem=>out_put_tdxmem goto looks wonky by itself. But it is the first of a bunch of error handling that will get stuck at its site.
