Threat model: An overview of the security implications of non-strict
IOMMU is presented at [1]. This change is motivated by “Case 1” where
a DMA-capable device is processing untrusted inputs, e.g. network
devices.
This patchset proposes using “DMA protection” to mitigate these risks.
This has the following effects, currently controlled by the
“pci_dev::untrusted” flag.
- Separate IOMMU DMA domains
- Use of SWIOTLB if CONFIG_SWIOTLB
- Disables quirks in Intel IOMMU
- Disables Address Translation Services
The “untrusted” flag was introduced in 2018 in [2]. The motivation for
that change was to enable using IOMMU to protect against DMA attacks
from externally facing devices such as thunderbolt ports. The patchset
introduces the “untrusted” flag which “is supposed to cover various
PCIe devices that may be used to conduct DMA attacks.” The patchset
originally proposes naming the flag “is_external” but is renamed to
“is_untrusted” and then “untrusted” supposing that it could apply to
more than just externally facing thunderbolt devices. The fact that
“ExternalFacingPort” is not part of any standard is called out during
review but also that Windows expecting firmware to identify external
facing ports makes it “as good as a formal standard in the Windows
world.”
This current patch series was first proposed in January 2022 [3]. It
originally proposed a new property “UntrustedDevice” which would cause
the untrusted flag to be set. In V1 Greg questions whether the new
property is part of the ACPI standard and asks who is making this
policy decision. Mika links to Microsoft's documentation of
“DmaProperty” and suggests that property should be adopted instead.
Greg objects that Linux does not have “dma protection” but Mika says
that this is the IOMMU. Today, the term “DMA protection” is used in
thunderbolt driver code with the same meaning and in an Intel white
paper [4] describing the technique. Mika also observes that Linux has
recognized several properties documented by Microsoft but not part of
the ACPI standard. There is discussion between Mika, Rafael, and Rajat
about seeking to align with Microsoft on the semantics of
“DmaProperty” for compatibility with firmware produced for Windows.
V2 of this patch series [5] again proposed an “UntrustedDevice”
property which Greg objects to because it is not sufficiently
descriptive, not sufficiently documented, and policies about trust
don’t belong in the kernel. Rajat describes the “untrusted” flag’s
current use, controlling IOMMU and Greg suggests naming the flag
“use_iommu” or “able to do DMA.”
V3 of this patch series [6] proposes recognizing “DmaProperty” with
slightly altered semantics from Microsoft’s documentation. Greg
suggests adhering to Microsoft’s semantics for “DmaProperty” and to
introduce a new property with new semantics instead. Greg again states
that the flag being named “untrusted” is confusing.
V4 renames “untrusted” to “poses_dma_risk”. Christoph suggests
“untrusted_dma” and Rafael agrees.
V5 renames the flag to “untrusted_dma”. Bjorn asks for clarification
about whether the semantics of this flag will match Microsoft’s
documentation. Rajat responds that Microsoft has agreed to update
their documentation to have aligned semantics, in particular “the
property is not restricted to identify ‘internal PCIe hierarchies’
(starting at root port), but to "any PCI device". As of today,
Microsoft’s documentation does not appear to have been updated.
In V6 Rajat updates a link to Microsoft’s documentation, renames a
function to pci_dev_has_dma_property() and uses
acpi_dev_get_property() to read “DmaProperty”.
In V7 (Nov 2024) Joshua re-sends and Greg requests a summary of the
history of discussion about the name for the “untrusted” flag and
justification of the new name.
In V8 Joshua renames the “untrusted” flag to
“requires_dma_protection”. Greg requests more information about the
threat model, what does this property convey, and why we should use
Microsoft’s DmaProperty and its semantics instead of inventing
something new.
In V9 Joshua updates the cover letter with more information from
previous submissions in this series and the “untrusted” flag’s
introduction.

The "DmaProperty" is supported and currently documented and used by
Microsoft [link 1 below], to flag internal PCIe root ports that need
DMA protection [link 2 below]. We have discussed with them and reached
a common understanding that they shall change their MSDN documentation
to say that the same property can be used to protect any PCI device,
and not just internal PCIe root ports (since there is no point
introducing yet another property for arbitrary PCI devices). This helps
with security from internal devices that offer an attack surface for
DMA attacks (e.g. internal network devices).
Support DmaProperty to mark DMA from a PCI device as untrusted.

Rename the field to make it more clear, that the device can execute DMA
attacks on the system, and thus the system may need protection from
such attacks from this device.
No functional change intended.
