Merge tag 'x86_tdx_for_6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 TDX updates from Dave Hansen: "The biggest change here is making TDX and kexec play nicely together. Before this, the memory encryption hardware (which doesn't respect cache coherency) could write back old cachelines on top of data in the new kernel, so kexec and TDX were made mutually exclusive. This removes the limitation. There is also some work to tighten up a hardware bug workaround and some MAINTAINERS updates. - Make TDX and kexec work together - Skip TDX bug workaround when the bug is not present - Update maintainers entries" * tag 'x86_tdx_for_6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/virt/tdx: Use precalculated TDVPR page physical address KVM/TDX: Explicitly do WBINVD when no more TDX SEAMCALLs x86/virt/tdx: Update the kexec section in the TDX documentation x86/virt/tdx: Remove the !KEXEC_CORE dependency x86/kexec: Disable kexec/kdump on platforms with TDX partial write erratum x86/virt/tdx: Mark memory cache state incoherent when making SEAMCALL x86/sme: Use percpu boolean to control WBINVD during kexec x86/kexec: Consolidate relocate_kernel() function parameters x86/tdx: Skip clearing reclaimed pages unless X86_BUG_TDX_PW_MCE is present x86/tdx: Tidy reset_pamt functions x86/tdx: Eliminate duplicate code in tdx_clear_page() MAINTAINERS: Add KVM mail list to the TDX entry MAINTAINERS: Add Rick Edgecombe as a TDX reviewer MAINTAINERS: Update the file list in the TDX entry.
