TDX hypervisors cannot emulate instructions directly. This includes port I/O which is normally emulated in the hypervisor. All port I/O instructions inside TDX trigger the #VE exception in the guest and would be normally emulated there. Use a hypercall to emulate port I/O. Extend the tdx_handle_virt_exception() and add support to handle the #VE due to port I/O instructions. String I/O operations are not supported in TDX. Unroll them by declaring CC_ATTR_GUEST_UNROLL_STRING_IO confidential computing attribute. == Userspace Implications == The ioperm() facility allows userspace access to I/O instructions like inb/outb. Among other things, this allows writing userspace device drivers. This series has no special handling for ioperm(). Users will be able to successfully request I/O permissions but will induce a #VE on their first I/O instruction which leads SIGSEGV. If this is undesirable users can enable kernel lockdown feature with 'lockdown=integrity' kernel command line option. It makes ioperm() fail. More robust handling of this situation (denying ioperm() in all TDX guests) will be addressed in follow-on work.

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.
