Kai Huang ac3a220884 x86/virt/tdx: Allocate and set up PAMTs for TDMRs ... The TDX module uses additional metadata to record things like which guest "owns" a given page of memory. This metadata, referred as Physical Address Metadata Table (PAMT), essentially serves as the 'struct page' for the TDX module. PAMTs are not reserved by hardware up front. They must be allocated by the kernel and then given to the TDX module during module initialization. TDX supports 3 page sizes: 4K, 2M, and 1G. Each "TD Memory Region" (TDMR) has 3 PAMTs to track the 3 supported page sizes. Each PAMT must be a physically contiguous area from a Convertible Memory Region (CMR). However, the PAMTs which track pages in one TDMR do not need to reside within that TDMR but can be anywhere in CMRs. If one PAMT overlaps with any TDMR, the overlapping part must be reported as a reserved area in that particular TDMR. Use alloc_contig_pages() since PAMT must be a physically contiguous area and it may be potentially large (~1/256th of the size of the given TDMR). The downside is alloc_contig_pages() may fail at runtime. One (bad) mitigation is to launch a TDX guest early during system boot to get those PAMTs allocated at early time, but the only way to fix is to add a boot option to allocate or reserve PAMTs during kernel boot. It is imperfect but will be improved on later. TDX only supports a limited number of reserved areas per TDMR to cover both PAMTs and memory holes within the given TDMR. If many PAMTs are allocated within a single TDMR, the reserved areas may not be sufficient to cover all of them. Adopt the following policies when allocating PAMTs for a given TDMR: - Allocate three PAMTs of the TDMR in one contiguous chunk to minimize the total number of reserved areas consumed for PAMTs. - Try to first allocate PAMT from the local node of the TDMR for better NUMA locality. Also dump out how many pages are allocated for PAMTs when the TDX module is initialized successfully. This helps answer the eternal "where did all my memory go?" questions.
