Bit 28 (SEPT_VE_DISABLE): Disable EPT violation conversion to #VE ON guest TD ACCESS of PENDING pages. The TDX architecture requires a private page to be accepted before using. If guest accesses a not-accepted (pending) page it will get #VE. For some OS, e.g., Linux TD guest, it doesn't want the #VE on pending page so it will set this bit. >> --- a/qapi/qom.json >> +++ b/qapi/qom.json >> @@ -792,10 +792,13 @@ >> # >> # @attributes: TDX guest's attributes (default: 0) >> # >> +# @sept-ve-disable: attributes.sept-ve-disable[bit 28] (default: 0) > > I'd suggest to document this here. > > thanks, > Gerd >

That looks rather pointless to me. The TDX patches for OVMF add a #VE handler, so I suspect every guest wants #VE exceptions if even the firmware cares to install a handler ... Also: What will happen instead? EPT fault delivered to the host? take care, Gerd

Linux guests can't disable those on their own? Requiring this being configured on the host looks rather fragile to me ... take care, Gerd

If the attributes isn't what the guest expects, the guest can stop working itself.
