Linux TDX guests require that the SEPT_VE_DISABLE "attribute" be set. If it is not set, the kernel is theoretically required to handle exceptions anywhere that kernel memory is accessed, including places like NMI handlers and in the syscall entry gap. Rather than even try to handle these exceptions, the kernel refuses to run if SEPT_VE_DISABLE is unset. However, the SEPT_VE_DISABLE detection and refusal code happens very early in boot, even before earlyprintk runs. Calling panic() will effectively just hang the system. Instead, call a TDX-specific panic() function. This makes a very simple TDVMCALL which gets a short error string out to the hypervisor without any console infrastructure. Use TDG.VP.VMCALL<ReportFatalError> to report the error. The hypercall can encode message up to 64 bytes in eight registers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
