[PATCH v2 2/5] tsm: Introduce a shared ABI for attestation reports

From: Dan Williams
Date: Mon Aug 14 2023 - 03:44:16 EST


One of the common operations of a TSM (Trusted Security Module) is to
provide a way for a TVM (confidential computing guest execution
environment) to take a measurement of its launch state, sign it and
submit it to a verifying party. Upon successful attestation that
verifies the integrity of the TVM additional secrets may be deployed.
The concept is common across TSMs, but the implementations are
unfortunately vendor specific. While the industry grapples with a common
definition of this attestation format [1], Linux need not make this
problem worse by defining a new ABI per TSM that wants to perform a
similar operation. The current momentum has been to invent new ioctl-ABI
per TSM per function which at best is an abdication of the kernel's
responsibility to make common infrastructure concepts share common ABI.

The proposal, targeted to conceptually work with TDX, SEV, COVE if not
more, is to define a sysfs interface to retrieve the TSM-specific blob.

echo $hex_encoded_userdata_plus_nonce > /sys/class/tsm/tsm0/inhex
hexdump /sys/class/tsm/tsm0/outblob

This approach later allows for the standardization of the attestation
blob format without needing to change the Linux ABI. Until then, the
format of 'outblob' is determined by the parent device for 'tsm0'.

The expectation is that this is a boot time exchange that need not be
regenerated, making it amenable to a sysfs interface. In case userspace
does try to generate multiple attestation reports it includes conflict
detection so userspace can be sure no other thread changed the
parameters from its last configuration step to the blob retrieval.

TSM specific options are encoded as 'extra' attributes on the TSM device
with the expectation that vendors reuse the same options for similar
concepts. The current options are defined by SEV-SNP's need for a
'privilege level' concept (VMPL), and the option to retrieve a
certificate chain in addition to the attestation report ("extended"
format).
