[PATCH v4 00/27] Thunderbolt security levels and NVM firmware upgrade

From: Mika Westerberg

Hi,

This is fourth version of the patch series adding support for Thunderbolt
security levels and NVM firmware upgrade. PCs running Intel Falcon Ridge or
newer need these in order to connect devices if the security level is set
to "user(SL1) or secure(SL2)" from BIOS.

The security levels were added to to prevent DMA attacks when PCIe is
tunneled over Thunderbolt fabric where IOMMU is not available or cannot be
enabled for different reasons.

This series converts the Thunderbolt driver to a Linux bus and makes each
Thunderbolt device (aka Thunderbolt switch or router or endpoint) a Linux
device which is connected to that bus addressed by their routing string
(this is the addressing Thunderbolt uses).

With these patches the user can authorize devices using sysfs attributes
like (following USB):

# echo 1 > /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-1/authorized

If the BIOS security level is set to "secure" and the device supports
secure connect on the first connect the device is uploaded a random key:

# key=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
# echo $key > /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-1/key
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-1/authorized

Next time the device is plugged in the user can verify (challenge) the
device using the same key:

# echo $key > /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-1/key
# echo 2 > /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-1/authorized

The device identification information is found below each device sysfs
node and includes following attributes:

device - Device ID
device_name - Name of the device
vendor - Vendor ID
vendor_name - Name of the vendor
unique_id - Unique ID string identifying this particular device

In addition these patches add support for upgrading NVM firmware running on
a host or device by running something like:

# dd if=KYK_TBT_FW_0018.bin of=/sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-0/nvm_non_active0/nvmem
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-0/nvm_authenticate

More information how to use the Thunderbolt bus can be found in patch [26/27].

Where Internal Connection Manager (ICM) firmware is available and usable,
we use it in the driver. This also includes newer Apple Macbooks with
Alpine Ridge. For older Macbooks the driver works as before but in addition
the Thunderbolt bus is available there as well (including possibility to
upgrade NVM firmware of connected devices).

Note for Macs the Linux native PCIe hotplug support does not work well with
the Thunderbolt PCIe topologies where there is need to put all available
resources to the PCIe downstream port where the PCIe chain is extended.
This is something we need to fix. In the mean time is a way to work it
around by passing "pci=hpbussize=10,hpmemsize=2M" or so to the kernel
command line.

We are currently porting Amir's network driver on top of the Thunderbolt
bus.

The previous version (v3) of the series can be found in:

https://lwn.net/Articles/724465/

Changes from v3:
- Rename tb_switch_find_vsec_cap() to tb_switch_find_vse_cap() to
be consistent with PCI where VSEC stands for Vendor Specific
Extended Capability.
- Rename TB_VSEC_CAP_* to TB_VSE_CAP accordingly.
- Add missing call to mutex_destroy() for tb->lock
- Disable host NVM upgrade when in native mode
- Add SoB from Andreas

Greg, I did not add your ack for the two patches (9 and 26) you acked
because I think you are going to add your SoB to the series anyway when you
apply the series. Let me know if you want me to add them. Thanks.
