![]() TDX is incompatible with hibernation and some ACPI sleep states. Users must disable hibernation to use TDX. Users must also disable TDX if they want to use ACPI S3 sleep. This feels a bit wonky and asymmetric, but it avoids adding any new command-line parameters for now. It can be improved if users hate it too much. Long version: TDX cannot survive from S3 and deeper states. The hardware resets and disables TDX completely when platform goes to S3 and deeper. Both TDX guests and the TDX module get destroyed permanently. The kernel uses S3 to support suspend-to-ram, and S4 or deeper states to support hibernation. The kernel also maintains TDX states to track whether it has been initialized and its metadata resource, etc. After resuming from S3 or hibernation, these TDX states won't be correct anymore. Theoretically, the kernel can do more complicated things like resetting TDX internal states and TDX module metadata before going to S3 or deeper, and re-initialize TDX module after resuming, etc, but there is no way to save/restore TDX guests for now. Until TDX supports full save and restore of TDX guests, there is no big value to handle TDX module in suspend and hibernation alone. To make things simple, just choose to make TDX mutually exclusive with S3 and hibernation. Note the TDX module is initialized at runtime. To avoid having to deal with the fuss of determining TDX state at runtime, just choose TDX vs S3 and hibernation at kernel early boot. It's a bad user experience if the choice of TDX and S3/hibernation is done at runtime anyway, i.e., the user can experience being able to do S3/hibernation but later becoming unable to due to TDX being enabled. Disable TDX in kernel early boot when hibernation support is available. Currently there's no mechanism exposed by the hibernation code to allow other kernel code to disable hibernation once for all. Users that want TDX must disable hibernation, like using hibername=no on the command line. Disable ACPI S3 when TDX is enabled by the BIOS. For now the user needs to disable TDX in the BIOS to use ACPI S3. A new kernel command line can be added in the future if there's a need to let user disable TDX host via kernel command line. Alternatively, the kernel could disable TDX when ACPI S3 is supported and request the user to disable S3 to use TDX. But there's no existing kernel command line to do that, and BIOS doesn't always have an option to disable S3.
