** Description changed: Since 6.16, TDX host is supported in the kernel but is incompatible with kexec. A cache flush is required in case TDX has been enabled before doing a kexec to avoid silent memory corruption in the new kernel. - An upstream submission fix this, the limitation is the second kernel cannot use TDX itself. - The submission is now a v8 and is likely to be merged soon. + + An upstream submission [0] fix this, the second kernel cannot use TDX itself. + The upstream submission is now a v8 and is likely to be merged soon. + + To enable TDX host, hibernation needs to be disabled, TDX enabled in the bios and also a module parameter. + In specific platforms (SPR/EMR), matching all those conditions will disable kexec due to hardware limitations. This has been applied on top of questing Ubuntu-6.17.0-3.3 and tested on supported hardware by enabling TDX and then kexec into a new kernel. + + [0] : + https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250901160930.1785244-1-pbonz...@redhat.com/
