Oh, fun.

So this sounds strange - page validation on AMD - judging by the
pseudocode of the PVALIDATE insn - does a bunch of sanity checks on the
gVA of the page and then installs it into the RMP and also "PVALIDATE
performs the same segmentation and paging checks as a 1-byte read.
PVALIDATE does not invalidate TLB caches."

But that still sounds a lot less work than what the TDX module needs to
do...

Ofc, the Intel version of the RMP table needs to be protected. :-)

I'm still catering to the view that it should be a two-tier thing: you
validate during boot a certain amount - say 4G - a size for which the
boot delay is acceptable and you do the rest on-demand along with a
background accepter.

That should give you the best of both worlds...

Thx.
