Handle VM exit caused by "other SMI" for TDX, by returning back to
userspace for Machine Check System Management Interrupt (MSMI) case or
ignoring it and resume vCPU for non-MSMI case.
For VMX, SMM transition can happen in both VMX non-root mode and VMX
root mode. Unlike VMX, in SEAM root mode (TDX module), all interrupts
are blocked. If an SMI occurs in SEAM non-root mode (TD guest), the SMI
causes VM exit to TDX module, then SEAMRET to KVM. Once it exits to KVM,
SMI is delivered and handled by kernel handler right away.
An SMI can be "I/O SMI" or "other SMI". For TDX, there will be no I/O SMI
because I/O instructions inside TDX guest trigger #VE and TDX guest needs
to use TDVMCALL to request VMM to do I/O emulation.
For "other SMI", there are two cases:
- MSMI case. When BIOS eMCA MCE-SMI morphing is enabled, the #MC occurs in
TDX guest will be delivered as an MSMI. It causes an
EXIT_REASON_OTHER_SMI VM exit with MSMI (bit 0) set in the exit
qualification. On VM exit, TDX module checks whether the "other SMI" is
caused by an MSMI or not. If so, TDX module marks TD as fatal,
preventing further TD entries, and then completes the TD exit flow to KVM
with the TDH.VP.ENTER outputs indicating TDX_NON_RECOVERABLE_TD. After
TD exit, the MSMI is delivered and eventually handled by the kernel
machine check handler (7911f145de x86/mce: Implement recovery for
errors in TDX/SEAM non-root mode), i.e., the memory page is marked as
poisoned and it won't be freed to the free list when the TDX guest is
terminated. Since the TDX guest is dead, follow other non-recoverable
cases, exit to userspace.
- For non-MSMI case, KVM doesn't need to do anything, just continue TDX
vCPU execution.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
