Intel Linux engineers have been working on a feature allowing runtime updates for the Trusted Domain Extensions (TDX) module without requiring a server reboot. This functionality is expected to be included in Linux kernel 7.2. The integration of this feature will enable easier deployment of security updates and similar enhancements for Intel's confidential computing capabilities on modern Intel Xeon servers. Phoronix reports that "for Linux 7.2 it looks like that feature will be all-set for allowing the easier roll-out of security updates and the like for this confidential computing capability on modern Intel Xeon servers." This development aims to streamline maintenance and enhance the security posture of TDX-enabled systems.
