TDX guest requires CR0.NE to be set. Clearing the bit triggers #GP(0). If CR0.NE is 0, the MS-DOS compatibility mode for handling floating-point exceptions is selected. In this mode, the software exception handler for floating-point exceptions is invoked externally using the processor’s FERR#, INTR, and IGNNE# pins. Using FERR# and IGNNE# to handle floating-point exception is deprecated. CR0.NE=0 also limits newer processors to operate with one logical processor active. Kernel uses CR0_STATE constant to initialize CR0. It has NE bit set. But during early boot kernel has more ad-hoc approach to setting bit in the register. During some of this ad-hoc manipulation, CR0.NE is cleared. This causes a #GP in TDX guests and makes it die in early boot. Make CR0 initialization consistent, deriving the initial value of CR0 from CR0_STATE. Since CR0_STATE always has CR0.NE=1, this ensures that CR0.NE is never 0 and avoids the #GP.

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.
