All of this is MTD and can just be disabled wholesale.

Aside of that, most of these depend on either platform devices or device
tree enumerations which are not ever available on X86.

None of this is reachable because the initial detection which is ACPI
table based will fail for TDX. If not, it's a guest firmware problem.

XEN, that's relevant because magically the TDX guest will assume that it
is a XEN instance?

ARM based drivers are initialized on x86 in which way?

HyperV. See XEN

EDAC has already hypervisor checks

Requires ACPI table entry or command line override

Has an old style PCI table which is searched via pci_get_device(). Could
do with a cleanup which converts it to proper PCI probing.

<SNIP>

So I stop here, because it would be way simpler to have the file names
but so far I could identify all of it from the top of my head.

So what are you trying to tell me? That you found tons of ioremaps in
__init functions which are completely irrelevant.

Please stop making arguments based on completely nonsensical data. It
took me less than 5 minutes to eliminate more than 50% of that list and
I'm pretty sure that I could have eliminated the bulk of the rest as
well.

The fact that a large part of this is ARM only, the fact that nobody
bothered to look at how e.g. IOMMU detection works and whether those
ioremaps actually can't be reached is hillarious.

So of these 400 instances are at least 30% ARM specific and those
cannot be reached on ARM nilly willy either because they are either
device tree or ACPI enumerated.

Claiming that it is soo much work to analyze 400 at least to the point:

  - whether they are relevant for x86 and therefore potentially TDX at
    all

  - whether they have some form of enumeration or detection which makes
    the ioremaps unreachable when the trusted BIOS is implemented
    correctly

Ijust can laugh at that, really:

  Two of my engineers have done an inventory of hundreds of cpu hotplug
  notifier instances in a couple of days some years ago. Ditto for a
  couple of hundred seqcount and a couple of hundred tasklet usage
  sites.

Sure, but it makes more security handwaving and a nice presentation to
tell people how much unsecure code there is based on half thought out
static analysis. To do a proper static analysis of this, you really
have to do a proper brain based analysis first of:

  1) Which code is relevant for x86

  2) What are the mechanisms which are used across the X86 relevant
     driver space to make these ioremap/MSR accesses actually reachable.

And of course this will not be complete, but this eliminates the vast
majority of your list. And looking at the remaining ones is not rocket
science either.

I can't take that serious at all. Come back when you have a properly
compiled list of drivers which:

  1) Can even be built for X86

  2) Do ioremap/MSR based poking unconditionally.

  3) Cannot be easily guarded off at the subsystem level

It's not going to be a huge list.

Then we can talk about facts and talk about the work required to fix
them or blacklist them in some way.

Thanks,
