The original msg was:

	"TD misconfiguration: SEPT_VE_DISABLE attribute must be set."

Any reason to change?

Because the attribute is not the only way to control if #VE is going to be
injected.

Does this field ID exist in TDX1.0?  I.e., whether it can fail here and
should we check the return value first?

See TDG.VM.RD definition:

R8  Contents of the field
     In case of no success, as indicated by RAX, R8 returns 0.

No need in error checking here.

OK. Thanks.

I am not sure whether this change is necessary.

It is more in-line with spec json dump.

+#define TDCS_CONFIG_FLAGS		0x1110000300000016
+#define TDCS_TD_CTLS			0x1110000300000017

The TDX 1.5 spec 'td_scope_metadata.json' says they are 0x9110000300000016
and 0x9110000300000017.

The spec is broken. It is going to be fixed. I use correct values.

OK.  I didn't know they are going to change the value in the JSON file.


I know the bit 63 is ignored by the TDX module, but since (IIUC) those two
fields are introduced in TDX1.5, it's just better to follow what TDX1.5 spec
says.

Newer modules will ignore this bit and both values are going to
acceptable.

Yeah.
