Intel hardware doesn't guarantee cache coherency across different KeyIDs. The PAMTs are transitioning from being used by the kernel mapping (KeyId 0) to the TDX module's "global KeyID" mapping. This means that the kernel must flush any dirty KeyID-0 PAMT cachelines before the TDX module uses the global KeyID to access the PAMT. Otherwise, if those dirty cachelines were written back, they would corrupt the TDX module's metadata. Aside: This corruption would be detected by the memory integrity hardware on the next read of the memory with the global KeyID.

In short, KVM can do something to guarantee but won't 100% guarantee this. Specifically, KVM won't actively try to bring up cpu to guarantee this if there's any package has no online cpu at all (see the first lore link below). But KVM can _check_ whether this condition has been met before calling tdx_init() and speak out if not. At the meantime, if the condition is met, refuse to offline the last cpu for each package (or any cpu) during module initialization. And KVM needs similar handling anyway. The reason is not only configuring the global KeyID has such requirement, creating/destroying TD (which involves programming/reclaiming one TDX KeyID) also require at least one online cpu for each package. There were discussions around this on KVM how to handle. IIUC the solution is KVM will: 1) fail to create TD if any package has no online cpu. 2) refuse to offline the last cpu for each package when there's any _active_ TDX guest running. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221102231911.3107438-1-seanjc@google.com/T/#m1ff338686cfcb7ba691cd969acc17b32ff194073 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/de6b69781a6ba1fe65535f48db2677eef3ec6a83.1667110240.git.isaku.yamahata@intel.com/ Thus TDX module initialization in KVM can be handled in similar way. Btw, in v7 (which has per-lp init requirement on all cpus), tdx_init() does early check on whether all machine boot-time present cpu are online and simply returns error if condition is not met. Here the difference is we don't have any check but depend on SEAMCALL to fail. To me there's no fundamental difference.

You say: The caller needs to guarantee this. Then, you go and tell us how the *ONE* caller of this function doesn't actually guarantee this. Plus, you *KNOW* this. Those are shenanigans. Let's do something like this instead of asking for something impossible and pretending that the callers are going to provide some fantasy solution. /* * Attempt to configure the global KeyID on all physical packages. * * This requires running code on at least one CPU in each package. If a * package has no online CPUs, that code will not run and TDX module * initialization (TDH.whatever) will fail. * * This code takes no affirmative steps to online CPUs. Callers (aka. * KVM) can ensure success by ensuring sufficient CPUs are online for * this to succeed. */ Now, since this _is_ all imperfect, what will our users see if this house of cards falls down? Will they get a nice error message like: TDX: failed to configure module, no online CPUs in package 12 Or, will they see: TDX: Hurr, durr, I'm confused and you should be too ?
