[ PATCH-1 in this series is a provisional cherry-pick from Aneesh's series
that moves the RSI layer out of arch/arm64, per Will's request. I added
it here to base the entire series on a public commit ID so that Sashiko
can start its job. So, I kept it as-is mostly, with Jason's review tag. ]
This series prepares Realm guest IOMMU and DMA subsystems for devices that
are present but not yet inside the Realm trust boundary.
Inside a confidential guest, we expect that all the iommus are going to be
T=1 aware; there seems to be no interest in supporting IOMMUs that handle
T=0 only. This means they only work on devices that have been put into the
run state and issue T=1 transactions.
Today an iommu driver assumes it translates for every device behind it: it
probes the device, takes a translating default domain, and puts the DMA API
on its page tables. That assumption is wrong for T=0 devices, whose DMA the
hypervisor translates instead, so the mappings made by the guest are never
consulted and the device silently stops working.
To solve this problem, make TDISP T=0 the default for devices associated
with a confidential IOMMU. The tdisp_t1 flag records the future T=1 state.
While T=0, the device remains outside the Realm trust boundary. Its DMA is
translated by the host or hypervisor:
[device: T=0] ===> [hypervisor] ===> [memory]
|
+-- (guest association) --> [confidential IOMMU: blocking DMA]
Legend: ===> DMA path; --> guest topology and control
After reaching T=1, the device is inside the Realm trust boundary. Its DMA
may use the guest VSMMU after RMM binds the device to its virtual stream:
[device] ===> [VSMMU: S1] ===> [RMM/PSMMU: S2 + DPT] ===> [memory]
As part 1 of Realm VSMMU support, implement enough core infrastructure to
manage a confidential vIOMMU:
- Detect and mark it as confidential in the core iommu structures
- Support devices in T=0 mode by keeping the DMA API in direct mode. The
iommu is up and running, but parks such a device in its blocking domain
and translates for nothing, as the core takes over what the device still
needs, which today is ATS
- Keep it parked: refuse a translating domain by every route in, whether
through the default domain, sysfs, group attach or replace, or PASID
Part 1 only adds the helpers required for T=0 setup and teardown. It does
not add iommu_tdisp_enter_t1() until part 2 has a transition to perform.
Then implement SMMUv3 support:
- Let a CPU-integrated IOMMU declare that its DMA can reach private
memory, so coherent allocations and streaming mappings avoid the SWIOTLB
shared pool
- Identify a T=1 VSMMU using trusted RSI because firmware does not
distinguish it from a normal T=0 SMMU
- Validate the firmware MMIO range against RSI before activating the VSMMU
and allocating its queues and tables from private memory
The series is on github:
https://github.com/nicolinc/iommufd/commits/smmuv3_realm_guest_p1-v1
Future work
===========
Part 2 will add the T=1 transition after validation through:
- TSM, whose guest-side interface remains under discussion
- RMM, using the Arm-specific RSI VDEV command
For a multi-device IOMMU group, the first device accepted into T=1 claims
the group. Part 2 will reject T=1 for every other member.
The current RSI binding validation returns one VSID, so part 2 must reject
a firmware specification containing multiple SIDs upon the T=1 transition.

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V (Arm)" <aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>
The RSI SMCCC function IDs describe a firmware ABI and are not arm64
architecture specific definitions. Follow-up changes need to use them from
non-arch code, including drivers/firmware/smccc and the Arm CCA guest
driver.
Move the complete Realm Service Interface (RSI) implementation from
arch/arm64 to drivers/firmware/arm_rmm. The RSI SMCCC definitions and
command helpers are also moved to include/linux so they can be shared by
architecture code and firmware or driver code. This also keeps the
firmware interface outside architecture code, as requested [1].

DEN0137 2.0-bet3 adds the RSI_VSMMU_GET_INFO command and replaces the old
RSI_VSMMU_ACTIVATE command with RSI_ARCH_DEV_ACTIVATE.
Add the command IDs, return codes, SMMUv3 device type, and helpers for both
commands.

DMA devices in a confidential guest can access only shared memory, or both
private and shared memory. Some method outside the DMA API will confirm the
device is able to access private memory through DMA.
Add DEV_FLAG_DMA_CC_PRIVATE and dma_set_cc_private(dev, bool).
The flag must be stable while any DMA mapping exists.

Architecture code can require devices to use unencrypted memory. This makes
the DMA API use shared memory for coherent allocations and bounce streaming
mappings through SWIOTLB.
A device marked with DEV_FLAG_DMA_CC_PRIVATE can reach private memory
directly. Add dma_require_decrypted() to combine force_dma_unencrypted()
with the new device flag, and use it throughout the generic DMA code.

An IOMMU inside a confidential VM needs private memory for its queues and
tables. Later changes also need to identify it when handling TDISP devices.
Add a confidential marker and a helper for IOMMU drivers. The helper also
marks the IOMMU device as able to access private memory. Drivers must call
it before iommu_device_register().

TDISP devices have two independent DMA streams, T=1 and T=0. In several
platforms these streams terminate into different IOMMU environments with
different translation tables. For such platforms the IOMMU driver in Linux
handles exactly one of the streams. Typically we expect the T=1 stream to
be linked to the vIOMMU and the T=0 stream to simply be left as a no-iommu
identity configuration.
As the HW has these two different DMA translation environments, the iommu
subsystem must participate in switching between them. When the device uses
T=0, its T=1 vIOMMU path should be left in BLOCKING to disable it, and a
simplified "T=0 IDENTITY" mode is setup within the DMA API.
[device: T=0] ===> [hypervisor] ===> [memory]
|
+-- (guest association) --> [confidential IOMMU: blocking DMA]
Setting the vIOMMU to BLOCKING also gives up its control of ATS, which is
now managed by the core code as part of simplified T=0 mode.

A TDISP T=0 device stays associated with its guest T=1 vIOMMU, yet doesn't
use that IOMMU for DMA translation. Instead, park its guest-visible stream
in the driver's blocking domain.
Linux's model requires a device to either use T=0 or T=1. Aside from MSI,
it cannot use T=0 for normal DMA once moved into T=1 mode, since the device
will have IOVA's that are not valid in T=0.
Select the blocking domain before normal default-domain policy is applied.
Direct-map reserved regions are still fine, because the T=0 stream always
goes to an identity mapping. Skip them here, as recording the request would
only refuse the device its blocking domain.
Reject sysfs domain changes, driver-managed group attachment, and any PASID
attachments that would install a translating domain. The state is uniform
across each group because all devices on a confidential IOMMU start in T=0.

In CCA, the ACPI/etc doesn't tell the OS whether the SMMU is a confidential
T=1 instance or a normal T=0 one. Instead, it has to be learned by issuing
a trusted RSI. Before the kernel can operate the trusted T=1 IOMMU, it also
has to validate all the information that it gets from ACPI against the true
information that it gets from the RSI call, to ensure the ACPI is correct
and prevent substitution attacks.
Use RSI_VSMMU_GET_INFO during probe and require the returned register range
to match firmware. Then use RSI_ARCH_DEV_ACTIVATE before mapping registers.
Currently the driver doesn't support a T=0 SMMU inside a realm. For example
it doesn't make the page table allocations into shared memory. If we are in
a realm reject any SMMU that is not T=1.
Once the SMMU is activated, its DMA will follow the DEV_FLAG_DMA_CC_PRIVATE
rules. It must set that flag to ensure its coherent allocations for its own
structures are allocated from private memory, not the SWIOTLB shared pool.

Sashiko pointed out a new finding (didn't appear in my local runs)
that arm_smmu_impl_probe() would allow an untrusted hypervisor to
provide a malicious ACPI/DT table specifying a vendor extension.
I think it's valid, So, we likely need a guard, until impl has RMM
level support with additional RSI validation:
- smmu = arm_smmu_impl_probe(smmu);
- if (IS_ERR(smmu))
- return PTR_ERR(smmu);
+ if (!is_realm_world()) {
+ smmu = arm_smmu_impl_probe(smmu);
+ if (IS_ERR(smmu))
+ return PTR_ERR(smmu);
+ }
