TME (Total Memory Encryption) and MKTME (Multi-Key Total Memory
Encryption) BIOS detection were introduced together here [1] and
are loosely coupled in the Intel CPU init code.
TME is a hardware only feature and its BIOS status is all that needs
to be shared with the kernel user: enabled or disabled. The TME
algorithm the BIOS is using and whether or not the kernel recognizes
that algorithm is useless to the kernel user.
MKTME is a hardware feature that requires kernel support. MKTME
detection code was added in advance of broader kernel support for
MKTME that never followed. So, rather than continuing to spew
needless and confusing messages about BIOS MKTME status, remove
most of the MKTME pieces from detect_tme_early().
Keep one useful message: alert the user when BIOS enabled MKTME
reduces the available physical address bits. Recovery of the MKTME
consumed bits requires a reboot with MKTME disabled in BIOS.
There is no functional change for the user, only a change in boot
messages. Below is one example when both TME and MKTME are enabled
in BIOS with AES_XTS_256 which is unknown to the detect tme code.
Before:
[] x86/tme: enabled by BIOS
[] x86/tme: Unknown policy is active: 0x2
[] x86/mktme: No known encryption algorithm is supported: 0x4
[] x86/mktme: enabled by BIOS
[] x86/mktme: 127 KeyIDs available
After:
[] x86/tme: enabled by BIOS
[] x86/mktme: BIOS enable: x86_phys_bits reduced by 8

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 reStructuredText 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.
