2018-12-05thunderbolt: Export IOMMU based DMA protection support to userspaceMika Westerberg1-0/+20
Recent systems with Thunderbolt ports may support IOMMU natively. In practice this means that Thunderbolt connected devices are placed behind an IOMMU during the whole time it is connected (including during boot) making Thunderbolt security levels redundant. This is called Kernel DMA protection [1] by Microsoft. Some of these systems still have Thunderbolt security level set to "user" in order to support OS downgrade (the older version of the OS might not support IOMMU based DMA protection so connecting a device still relies on user approval). Export this information to userspace by introducing a new sysfs attribute (iommu_dma_protection). Based on it userspace tools can make more accurate decision whether or not authorize the connected device. In addition update Thunderbolt documentation regarding IOMMU based DMA protection.

2018-03-09thunderbolt: Introduce USB only (SL4) security levelMika Westerberg1-5/+10
This new security level works so that it creates one PCIe tunnel to the connected Thunderbolt dock, removing PCIe links downstream of the dock. This leaves only the internal USB controller visible. Display Port tunnels are created normally. While there make sure security sysfs attribute returns "unknown" for any future security level.

git://git.infradead.org/linux-platform-drivers-x86 Pull x86 platform driver updates from Andy Shevchenko: "Here is the collected material against Platform Drivers x86 subsystem. It's rather bit busy cycle for PDx86, mostly due to Dell SMBIOS driver activity For this cycle we have quite an update for the Dell SMBIOS driver including WMI work to provide an interface for SMBIOS tokens via sysfs and WMI support for 2017+ Dell laptop models. SMM dispatcher code is split into a separate driver followed by a new WMI dispatcher. The latter provides a character device interface to user space. The git history also contains a merge of immutable branch from Wolfram Sang in order to apply a dependent fix to the Intel CherryTrail Battery Management driver. Other Intel drivers got a lot of cleanups. The Turbo Boost Max 3.0 support is added for Intel Skylake. Peaq WMI hotkeys driver gets its own maintainer and white list of supported models. Silead DMI is expanded to support few additional platforms. Tablet mode via GMMS ACPI method is added to support some ThinkPad tablets. new driver: - Add driver to force WMI Thunderbolt controller power status asus-wmi: - Add lightbar led support dell-laptop: - Allocate buffer before rfkill use dell-smbios: - fix string overflow - Add filtering support - Introduce dispatcher for SMM calls - Add a sysfs interface for SMBIOS tokens - only run if proper oem string is detected - Prefix class/select with cmd_ - Add pr_fmt definition to driver dell-smbios-smm: - test for WSMT dell-smbios-wmi: - release mutex lock on WMI call failure - introduce userspace interface - Add new WMI dispatcher driver dell-smo8800: - remove redundant assignments to byte_data dell-wmi: - don't check length returned - clean up wmi descriptor check - increase severity of some failures - Do not match on descriptor GUID modalias - Label driver as handling notifications dell-*wmi*: - Relay failed initial probe to dependent drivers dell-wmi-descriptor: - check if memory was allocated - split WMI descriptor into it's own driver fujitsu-laptop: - Fix radio LED detection - Don't oops when FUJ02E3 is not presnt hp_accel: - Add quirk for HP ProBook 440 G4 hp-wmi: - Fix tablet mode detection for convertibles ideapad-laptop: - Add Lenovo Yoga 920-13IKB to no_hw_rfkill dmi list intel_cht_int33fe: - Update fusb302 type string, add properties - make a couple of local functions static - Work around BIOS bug on some devices intel-hid: - Power button suspend on Dell Latitude 7275 intel_ips: - Convert timers to use timer_setup() - Remove FSF address from GPL notice - Remove unneeded fields and label - Keep pointer to struct device - Use PCI_VDEVICE() macro - Switch to new PCI IRQ allocation API - Simplify error handling via devres API intel_pmc_ipc: - Revert Use MFD framework to create dependent devices - Use MFD framework to create dependent devices - Use spin_lock to protect GCR updates - Use devm_* calls in driver probe function intel_punit_ipc: - Fix resource ioremap warning intel_telemetry: - Remove useless default in Kconfig - Add needed inclusion - cleanup redundant headers - Fix typos - Fix load failure info intel_telemetry_debugfs: - Use standard ARRAY_SIZE() macro intel_turbo_max_3: - Add Skylake platform intel-wmi-thunderbolt: - Silence error cases mlx-platform: - make a couple of structures static peaq_wmi: - Fix missing terminating entry for peaq_dmi_table peaq-wmi: - Remove unnecessary checks from peaq_wmi_exit - Add DMI check before binding to the WMI interface - Revert Blacklist Lenovo ideapad 700-15ISK - Blacklist Lenovo ideapad 700-15ISK silead_dmi: - Add silead, home-button property to some tablets - Add entry for the Digma e200 tablet - Fix GP-electronic T701 entry - Add entry for the Chuwi Hi8 Pro tablet sony-laptop: - Drop variable assignment in sony_nc_setup_rfkill() - Fix error handling in sony_nc_setup_rfkill() thinkpad_acpi: - Implement tablet mode using GMMS method tools/wmi: - add a sample for dell smbios communication over WMI wmi: - release mutex on module acquistion failure - create userspace interface for drivers - Don't allow drivers to get each other's GUIDs - Add new method wmidev_evaluate_method - Destroy on cleanup rather than unregister - Cleanup exit routine in reverse order of init - Sort include list" * tag 'platform-drivers-x86-v4.15-1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-platform-drivers-x86: (74 commits) platform/x86: silead_dmi: Add silead, home-button property to some tablets platform/x86: dell-laptop: Allocate buffer before rfkill use platform/x86: dell-*wmi*: Relay failed initial probe to dependent drivers platform/x86: dell-wmi-descriptor: check if memory was allocated platform/x86: Revert intel_pmc_ipc: Use MFD framework to create dependent devices platform/x86: dell-smbios-wmi: release mutex lock on WMI call failure platform/x86: wmi: release mutex on module acquistion failure platform/x86: dell-smbios: fix string overflow platform/x86: intel_pmc_ipc: Use MFD framework to create dependent devices platform/x86: intel_punit_ipc: Fix resource ioremap warning platform/x86: dell-smo8800: remove redundant assignments to byte_data platform/x86: hp-wmi: Fix tablet mode detection for convertibles platform/x86: intel_ips: Convert timers to use timer_setup() platform/x86: sony-laptop: Drop variable assignment in sony_nc_setup_rfkill() platform/x86: sony-laptop: Fix error handling in sony_nc_setup_rfkill() tools/wmi: add a sample for dell smbios communication over WMI platform/x86: dell-smbios-wmi: introduce userspace interface platform/x86: wmi: create userspace interface for drivers platform/x86: dell-smbios: Add filtering support platform/x86: dell-smbios-smm: test for WSMT ...
2017-10-02net: Add support for networking over Thunderbolt cableAmir Levy1-0/+24
ThunderboltIP is a protocol created by Apple to tunnel IP/ethernet traffic over a Thunderbolt cable. The protocol consists of configuration phase where each side sends ThunderboltIP login packets (the protocol is determined by UUID in the XDomain packet header) over the configuration channel. Once both sides get positive acknowledgment to their login packet, they configure high-speed DMA path accordingly. This DMA path is then used to transmit and receive networking traffic. This patch creates a virtual ethernet interface the host software can use in the same way as any other networking interface. Once the interface is brought up successfully network packets get tunneled over the Thunderbolt cable to the remote host and back. The connection is terminated by sending a ThunderboltIP logout packet over the configuration channel. We do this when the network interface is brought down by user or the driver is unloaded.

2017-09-20platform/x86: Add driver to force WMI Thunderbolt controller power statusMario Limonciello1-0/+15
Current implementations of Intel Thunderbolt controllers will go into a low power mode when not in use. Many machines containing these controllers also have a GPIO wired up that can force the controller awake. This is offered via a ACPI-WMI interface intended to be manipulated by a userspace utility. This mechanism is provided by Intel to OEMs to include in BIOS. It uses an industry wide GUID that is populated in a separate _WDG entry with no binary MOF. This interface allows software such as fwupd to wake up thunderbolt controllers to query the firmware version or flash new firmware.
