Given the usage model of this variable, shouldn't it be simply accessed via
READ/WRITE_ONCE macros?

What do you see it changing?


Serving as documentation that you are accessing a shared variable without an explicit lock (unless I'm missing something). conversion_allowed can be read by multiple threads, no ? And it's written by a single thread?

+static void tdx_kexec_stop_conversion(bool crash)

What's the logic behind this compiler barrier?

Disallow compiler to push the assignment past atomic_read() loop below.
Not sure if anything else prevents such reorder without the barrier.

And I don't think WRITE_ONCE() will do the trick. It only prevents
multiple writes, but doesn't prevent reorders agains accesses
non-READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() accesses.

These are only being initialized in the TDX case, but called in all cases
when CC_ATTR_GUEST_MEM_ENCRYPT is true, which includes AMD. So it would
cause a crash, no ? Shouldn't you also introduce noop handlers initialized
in the default x86_platform struct in arch/x86/kernel/x86_init.c ?

kexec on AMD will not work without them, I think. But noops makes sense
anyway. Will fix.

I'm not disputing whether those are needed for AMD or not, that way I see it you make those callbacks mandatory in the case of CC_ATTR_GUEST_MEM_ENCRYPT being present, yet only implement them for TDX. So in the case of AMD they will be NULL and so AMD with kexec enabled (albeit erroneously) will crash, no ?
