Intel TDX Runtime Updates Looks Like It Will Land For Linux 7.2
Intel is preparing to introduce run-time updates for the Trusted Domain Extensions (TDX) module in the upcoming Linux 7.2 release. This feature will enable easier deployment of security updates without requiring a server reboot, enhancing the confidential computing capabilities of modern Intel Xeon servers. The code for this update has successfully passed multiple reviews and is set to be included in the next kernel version unless any last-minute issues arise.
- ▪Intel is working on enabling run-time updates for the TDX module in Linux 7.2.
- ▪This feature will allow for easier roll-out of security updates without rebooting the server.
- ▪The TDX runtime update support has been queued into a prominent Git branch ahead of the Linux 7.2 merge window.

Intel TDX Runtime Updates Looks Like It Will Land For Linux 7.2 Written by Michael Larabel in Intel on 27 May 2026 at 06:07 AM EDT. Add A Comment A feature that has been worked on for a while now by Intel Linux engineers is for allowing run-time updates of the Trusted Domain Extensions (TDX) module without having to reboot the running server. 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. Trust Domain Extensions is a great feature of modern Xeon processors as hardware-based confidential computing tech for VM isolation. But with the TDX module loaded by the BIOS at boot time, up to now if needing to update it has meant rebooting the server.
