git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgg/iommufd Pull iommufd updates from Jason Gunthorpe: "Two significant new items: - Allow reporting IOMMU HW events to userspace when the events are clearly linked to a device. This is linked to the VIOMMU object and is intended to be used by a VMM to forward HW events to the virtual machine as part of emulating a vIOMMU. ARM SMMUv3 is the first driver to use this mechanism. Like the existing fault events the data is delivered through a simple FD returning event records on read(). - PASID support in VFIO. The "Process Address Space ID" is a PCI feature that allows the device to tag all PCI DMA operations with an ID. The IOMMU will then use the ID to select a unique translation for those DMAs. This is part of Intel's vIOMMU support as VT-D HW requires the hypervisor to manage each PASID entry. The support is generic so any VFIO user could attach any translation to a PASID, and the support should work on ARM SMMUv3 as well. AMD requires additional driver work. Some minor updates, along with fixes: - Prevent using nested parents with fault's, no driver support today - Put a single "cookie_type" value in the iommu_domain to indicate what owns the various opaque owner fields" * tag 'for-linus-iommufd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgg/iommufd: (49 commits) iommufd: Test attach before detaching pasid iommufd: Fix iommu_vevent_header tables markup iommu: Convert unreachable() to BUG() iommufd: Balance veventq->num_events inc/dec iommufd: Initialize the flags of vevent in iommufd_viommu_report_event() iommufd/selftest: Add coverage for reporting max_pasid_log2 via IOMMU_HW_INFO iommufd: Extend IOMMU_GET_HW_INFO to report PASID capability vfio: VFIO_DEVICE_[AT|DE]TACH_IOMMUFD_PT support pasid vfio-iommufd: Support pasid [at|de]tach for physical VFIO devices ida: Add ida_find_first_range() iommufd/selftest: Add coverage for iommufd pasid attach/detach iommufd/selftest: Add test ops to test pasid attach/detach iommufd/selftest: Add a helper to get test device iommufd/selftest: Add set_dev_pasid in mock iommu iommufd: Allow allocating PASID-compatible domain iommu/vt-d: Add IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC_PASID support iommufd: Enforce PASID-compatible domain for RID iommufd: Support pasid attach/replace iommufd: Enforce PASID-compatible domain in PASID path iommufd/device: Add pasid_attach array to track per-PASID attach ...

2025-03-29Merge tag 'for-linus-fwctl' of ↵Linus Torvalds6-0/+490
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma Pull fwctl subsystem from Jason Gunthorpe: "fwctl is a new subsystem intended to bring some common rules and order to the growing pattern of exposing a secure FW interface directly to userspace. Unlike existing places like RDMA/DRM/VFIO/uacce that are exposing a device for datapath operations fwctl is focused on debugging, configuration and provisioning of the device. It will not have the necessary features like interrupt delivery to support a datapath. This concept is similar to the long standing practice in the "HW" RAID space of having a device specific misc device to manage the RAID controller FW. fwctl generalizes this notion of a companion debug and management interface that goes along with a dataplane implemented in an appropriate subsystem. There have been three LWN articles written discussing various aspects of this: https://lwn.net/Articles/955001/ https://lwn.net/Articles/969383/ https://lwn.net/Articles/990802/ This includes three drivers to launch the subsystem: - CXL provides a vendor scheme for executing commands and a way to learn the 'command effects' (ie the security properties) of such commands. The fwctl driver allows access to these mechanism within the fwctl security model - mlx5 is family of networking products, the driver supports all current Mellanox HW still receiving FW feature updates. This includes RDMA multiprotocol NICs like ConnectX and the Bluefield family of Smart NICs. - AMD/Pensando Distributed Services card is a multi protocol Smart NIC with a multi PCI function design. fwctl works on the management PCI function following a 'command effects' model similar to CXL" * tag 'for-linus-fwctl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma: (30 commits) pds_fwctl: add Documentation entries pds_fwctl: add rpc and query support pds_fwctl: initial driver framework pds_core: add new fwctl auxiliary_device pds_core: specify auxiliary_device to be created pds_core: make pdsc_auxbus_dev_del() void cxl: Fixup kdoc issues for include/cxl/features.h fwctl/cxl: Add documentation to FWCTL CXL cxl/test: Add Set Feature support to cxl_test cxl/test: Add Get Feature support to cxl_test cxl: Add support to handle user feature commands for set feature cxl: Add support to handle user feature commands for get feature cxl: Add support for fwctl RPC command to enable CXL feature commands cxl: Move cxl feature command structs to user header cxl: Add FWCTL support to CXL mlx5: Create an auxiliary device for fwctl_mlx5 fwctl/mlx5: Support for communicating with mlx5 fw fwctl: Add documentation fwctl: FWCTL_RPC to execute a Remote Procedure Call to device firmware taint: Add TAINT_FWCTL ...

2025-03-21Drivers: hv: Introduce mshv_root module to expose /dev/mshv to VMMsNuno Das Neves1-0/+2
Provide a set of IOCTLs for creating and managing child partitions when running as root partition on Hyper-V. The new driver is enabled via CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT. A brief overview of the interface: MSHV_CREATE_PARTITION is the entry point, returning a file descriptor representing a child partition. IOCTLs on this fd can be used to map memory, create VPs, etc. Creating a VP returns another file descriptor representing that VP which in turn has another set of corresponding IOCTLs for running the VP, getting/setting state, etc. MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL is a generic "passthrough" hypercall IOCTL which can be used for a number of partition or VP hypercalls. This is for hypercalls that do not affect any state in the kernel driver, such as getting and setting VP registers and partition properties, translating addresses, etc. It is "passthrough" because the binary input and output for the hypercall is only interpreted by the VMM - the kernel driver does nothing but insert the VP and partition id where necessary (which are always in the same place), and execute the hypercall.

Terminology: * The *IPC Scope* of a Landlock domain is that Landlock domain and its nested domains. * An *operation* (e.g., signaling, connecting to abstract UDS) is said to be *scoped within a domain* when the flag for that operation was set at ruleset creation time. This means that for the purpose of this operation, only processes within the domain's IPC scope are reachable.

2025-03-06fwctl/mlx5: Support for communicating with mlx5 fwSaeed Mahameed1-0/+1
mlx5 FW has a built in security context called UID. Each UID has a set of permissions controlled by the kernel when it is created and every command is tagged by the kernel with a particular UID. In general commands cannot reach objects outside of their UID and commands cannot exceed their UID's permissions. These restrictions are enforced by FW. This mechanism has long been used in RDMA for the devx interface where RDMA will sent commands directly to the FW and the UID limitations restrict those commands to a ib_device/verbs security domain. For instance commands that would effect other VFs, or global device resources. The model is suitable for unprivileged userspace to operate the RDMA functionality. The UID has been extended with a "tools resources" permission which allows additional commands and sub-commands that are intended to match with the scope limitations set in FWCTL. This is an alternative design to the "command intent log" where the FW does the enforcement rather than having the FW report the enforcement the kernel should do. Consistent with the fwctl definitions the "tools resources" security context is limited to the FWCTL_RPC_CONFIGURATION, FWCTL_RPC_DEBUG_READ_ONLY, FWCTL_RPC_DEBUG_WRITE, and FWCTL_RPC_DEBUG_WRITE_FULL security scopes. Like RDMA devx, each opened fwctl file descriptor will get a unique UID associated with each file descriptor. The fwctl driver is kept simple and we reject commands that can create objects as the UID mechanism relies on the kernel to track and destroy objects prior to detroying the UID. Filtering into fwctl sub scopes is done inside the driver with a switch statement. This substantially limits what is possible to primarily query functions ad a few limited set operations. mlx5 already has a robust infrastructure for delivering RPC messages to fw. Trivially connect fwctl's RPC mechanism to mlx5_cmd_do(). Enforce the User Context ID in every RPC header accepted from the FD so the FW knows the security context of the issuing ID.

2025-03-06fwctl: Basic ioctl dispatch for the character deviceJason Gunthorpe1-0/+1
Each file descriptor gets a chunk of per-FD driver specific context that allows the driver to attach a device specific struct to. The core code takes care of the memory lifetime for this structure. The ioctl dispatch and design is based on what was built for iommufd. The ioctls have a struct which has a combined in/out behavior with a typical 'zero pad' scheme for future extension and backwards compatibility. Like iommufd some shared logic does most of the ioctl marshaling and compatibility work and table dispatches to some function pointers for each unique ioctl. This approach has proven to work quite well in the iommufd and rdma subsystems. Allocate an ioctl number space for the subsystem.

2025-02-10blk-crypto: add ioctls to create and prepare hardware-wrapped keysEric Biggers1-0/+2
Until this point, the kernel can use hardware-wrapped keys to do encryption if userspace provides one -- specifically a key in ephemerally-wrapped form. However, no generic way has been provided for userspace to get such a key in the first place. Getting such a key is a two-step process. First, the key needs to be imported from a raw key or generated by the hardware, producing a key in long-term wrapped form. This happens once in the whole lifetime of the key. Second, the long-term wrapped key needs to be converted into ephemerally-wrapped form. This happens each time the key is "unlocked". In Android, these operations are supported in a generic way through KeyMint, a userspace abstraction layer. However, that method is Android-specific and can't be used on other Linux systems, may rely on proprietary libraries, and also misleads people into supporting KeyMint features like rollback resistance that make sense for other KeyMint keys but don't make sense for hardware-wrapped inline encryption keys. Therefore, this patch provides a generic kernel interface for these operations by introducing new block device ioctls: - BLKCRYPTOIMPORTKEY: convert a raw key to long-term wrapped form. - BLKCRYPTOGENERATEKEY: have the hardware generate a new key, then return it in long-term wrapped form. - BLKCRYPTOPREPAREKEY: convert a key from long-term wrapped form to ephemerally-wrapped form. These ioctls are implemented using new operations in blk_crypto_ll_ops.
