The PCIe 7.0 specification, section 11, defines the Trusted Execution
Environment (TEE) Device Interface Security Protocol (TDISP). This
protocol definition builds upon Component Measurement and Authentication
(CMA), and link Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE). It adds support for
assigning devices (PCI physical or virtual function) to a confidential VM
such that the assigned device is enabled to access guest private memory
protected by technologies like Intel TDX, AMD SEV-SNP, RISCV COVE, or ARM
CCA.
The "TSM" (TEE Security Manager) is a concept in the TDISP specification
of an agent that mediates between a "DSM" (Device Security Manager) and
system software in both a VMM and a confidential VM. A VMM uses TSM ABIs
to setup link security and assign devices. A confidential VM uses TSM
ABIs to transition an assigned device into the TDISP "RUN" state and
validate its configuration. From a Linux perspective the TSM abstracts
many of the details of TDISP, IDE, and CMA. Some of those details leak
through at times, but for the most part TDISP is an internal
implementation detail of the TSM.
CONFIG_PCI_TSM adds an "authenticated" attribute and "tsm/" subdirectory
to pci-sysfs. Consider that the TSM driver may itself be a PCI driver.
Userspace can watch for the arrival of a "TSM" device,
/sys/class/tsm/tsm0/uevent KOBJ_CHANGE, to know when the PCI core has
initialized TSM services.
The operations that can be executed against a PCI device are split into
two mutually exclusive operation sets, "Link" and "Security" (struct
pci_tsm_{link,security}_ops). The "Link" operations manage physical link
security properties and communication with the device's Device Security
Manager firmware. These are the host side operations in TDISP. The
"Security" operations coordinate the security state of the assigned
virtual device (TDI). These are the guest side operations in TDISP.
Only "link" (Secure Session and physical Link Encryption) operations are
defined at this stage. There are placeholders for the device security
(Trusted Computing Base entry / exit) operations.
The locking allows for multiple devices to be executing commands
simultaneously, one outstanding command per-device and an rwsem
synchronizes the implementation relative to TSM registration/unregistration
events.
Thanks to Wu Hao for his work on an early draft of this support.
