Linux 6.10 KVM Does More Prepping For Intel TDX


The KVM changes for the Linux 6.10 kernel were merged a few days ago for this important piece to the open-source Linux virtualization stack.

The KVM updates for Linux 6.10 aren't too exciting from an end-user perspective but do carry more prep work for Intel TDX and other refinements. The Kernel-based Virtual Machine for x86 (x86_64) brings a variety of fixes, the AMD KVM code has a new API for initializing SEV/SEV-ES VMs support for GHCB v2 for SEV-ES guests, and the Intel KVM code has a lot of prerequisite patches for Intel TDX. KVM on LoongArch meanwhile adds ParaVirt IPI support, software breakpoints, and MMIO trace events.
