*-by tags should not be added unless explicitly provided. IIRC, our internal
gerrit will convert +1 to Reviewed-by, but I don't think that's the case here.
This applies to all patches in this series.

Ha! This is why I don't like doing internal reviews :-D
Erdem originally had vm_create_type(), I suggested __vm_create() as the double
underscore scheme is more common in the kernel for cases where there's a default
wrapper and an inner helper that implements the full API.
Convention aside, the argument againsts ...with_type() are that it doesn't scale,
e.g. if someone adds another parameter parameter for which vm_create() provides a
default, and it doesn't self-document the relationship between vm_create() and
the inner helper, e.g. by convention, based on names alone I know that vm_create()
likely is a wrapper around __vm_create().
Compare that with the existing
vm_create_default_with_vcpus()
vm_create_default()
vm_create_with_vcpus()
vm_create()
where the relationship between all the helpers is not immediately clear, and
vm_create_with_vcpus() is a misnomer because it does much more than call vm_create()
and instantiate vCPUs, e.g. it also instantiates the IRQ chip and loads the test
into guest memory.

True, although with __vm_create() is not solving the scalability
problem, it's just preventing scaling altogether (you can only have 1
wrapper function, vm_create). So if any caller wants to override one of
the defaults they have to override all of them.
I agree with you though in this case: __vm_create() is a better choice
(especially given the existence of vm_create_with_vcpus).
A better option than both (but would involve more work) would be to
create an options struct with all optional arguments. Unfortunately C
makes working with options structs a bit clumsy. But it's something to
consider as the number of options passed to __vm_create increases.
For example:
struct vm_options {
enum vm_guest_mode mode;
uint64_t phy_pages;
int perm;
int type;
};
struct kvm_vm *vm_create(const struct vm_options *options)
{
...
}
static const struct vm_options default_vm_options = {
.mode = VM_MODE_DEFAULT,
.phy_pages = DEFAULT_GUEST_PHY_PAGES,
.perm = O_RDWR,
.type = DEFAULT_VM_TYPE,
};
/* Create a VM with default options. */
vm = create_vm(&default_vm_options);
/* Create a VM with TDX enabled. */
struct vm_options options = default_vm_options;
options.type = VM_TYPE_TDX;
vm = create_vm(&options);
(I'm sure I ham-fisted the const stuff but you get the idea.)
I'm toying with introducing an options struct to perf_test_util as well
so this is very top of mind.

To be honest I would prefer this to be called something like KVM_X86_STANDARD_VM,
or something.
I don't think that normal unencrypted virtualization is already legacy, even if TDX
docs claim that.
Just my personal opinion.

I'm not proposing to use this specific name introduced in TDX RFC
series, but proposing to use the name defined in KVM in the future
instead of hard-coded 0.
Yes, KVM_X86_STANDARD_VM or KVM_X86_NORMAL_VM (proposed by Paolo) is
better than KVM_X86_LEGACY_VM.

KVM_X86_NORMAL_VM is a very good name IMHO as well.
Thanks!

Thank you all for all that great feedback! I will include them in my v2.

I was originally thinking of doing this but Sean has suggested that we
should use 0 to make it arch-agnostic for creating default VMs.

Sounds good to me.

I liked this idea, I will see if I can include it in my v2.
Thank you so much again.

I hate passing '0', but KVM_X86_LEGACY_VM is worse because it's nonsensical for
other architectures.

But that implies protected guests are abnormal! And KVM_X86_STANDARD_VM would
imply protected guests are sub-standard! I'm only half-joking, e.g. if we get
to the point where the majority of guests being run are protected guests, then
!protected guests are no longer the "standard".
Looking at other architectures, I think the least awful option is a generic
KVM_VM_TYPE_AUTO, or maybe KVM_VM_TYPE_DEFAULT. That aligns with how '0' is used
by PPC, MIPS, and arm64[*], and would work for x86 as well without implying what's
normal/standard.
[*] arm64 uses the type to specify the IPA width (I'm not even sure what that is),
but thankfully interprets '0' as a default.
