TDX provides increased levels of memory confidentiality and integrity.
This requires special hardware support for features like memory
encryption and storage of memory integrity checksums. Not all memory
satisfies these requirements.
As a result, the TDX introduced the concept of a "Convertible Memory
Region" (CMR). During boot, the firmware builds a list of all of the
memory ranges which can provide the TDX security guarantees. The list
of these ranges is available to the kernel by querying the TDX module.
The TDX architecture needs additional metadata to record things like
which TD guest "owns" a given page of memory. This metadata essentially
serves as the 'struct page' for the TDX module. The space for this
metadata is not reserved by the hardware up front and must be allocated
by the kernel and given to the TDX module.
Since this metadata consumes space, the VMM can choose whether or not to
allocate it for a given area of convertible memory. If it chooses not
to, the memory cannot receive TDX protections and can not be used by TDX
guests as private memory.
For every memory region that the VMM wants to use as TDX memory, it sets
up a "TD Memory Region" (TDMR). Each TDMR represents a physically
contiguous convertible range and must also have its own physically
contiguous metadata table, referred to as a Physical Address Metadata
Table (PAMT), to track status for each page in the TDMR range.
Unlike a CMR, each TDMR requires 1G granularity and alignment. To
support physical RAM areas that don't meet those strict requirements,
each TDMR permits a number of internal "reserved areas" which can be
placed over memory holes. If PAMT metadata is placed within a TDMR it
must be covered by one of these reserved areas.
Let's summarize the concepts:
CMR - Firmware-enumerated physical ranges that support TDX. CMRs are
4K aligned.
TDMR - Physical address range which is chosen by the kernel to support
TDX. 1G granularity and alignment required. Each TDMR has
reserved areas where TDX memory holes and overlapping PAMTs can
be put into.
PAMT - Physically contiguous TDX metadata. One table for each page size
per TDMR. Roughly 1/256th of TDMR in size. 256G TDMR = ~1G
PAMT.
As one step of initializing the TDX module, the kernel configures
TDX-usable memory by passing an array of TDMRs to the TDX module.
Constructing the array of TDMRs consists below steps:
1) Create TDMRs to cover all memory regions that TDX module can use;
2) Allocate and set up PAMT for each TDMR;
3) Set up reserved areas for each TDMR.
Add a placeholder to construct TDMRs to do the above steps after all
memblock memory regions are verified to be convertible. Always free
TDMRs at the end of the initialization (no matter successful or not)
as TDMRs are only used during the initialization.

---
- v3 -> v4:
- Moved calculating TDMR size to this patch.
- Changed to use alloc_pages_exact() to allocate buffer for all TDMRs
once, instead of allocating each TDMR individually.
- Removed "crypto protection" in the changelog.
- -EFAULT -> -EINVAL in couple of places.
