Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core:
- Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb->head, avoid having
to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use.
- Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs.
- Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to
describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers.
Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers.
- Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns.
- Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on
boot.
- Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan.
- Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack.
- Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers.
Protocols:
- Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB).
- Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range
on socket by socket basis.
- Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used.
- Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path
manager.
- IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage
collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4).
- Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986).
- ICMP: add per-rate limit counters.
- Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154.
- Remove static WEP support.
- Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate
reporting.
- WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client & AP).
BPF:
- Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure"
precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using
kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type.
- Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and
timestamp metadata.
- Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to
better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect
metadata.
- Improve x86 JIT's codegen for PROBE_MEM runtime error checks.
- Remove the need for trace_printk_lock for bpf_trace_printk and
bpf_trace_vprintk helpers.
- Extend libbpf's bpf_tracing.h support for tracing arguments of
kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case.
- Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by
livepatch and BPF.
- Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing
programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in
different time intervals.
- Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64.
- Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC.
- Add __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs.
- Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF
memory accounting for container environments.
Netfilter:
- Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for
years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band
/proc interface installed by this target.
- Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the
existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the
referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist.
Driver API:
- Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right
IRQ affinity on AMD platforms.
- Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly.
- Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress.
- Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA)
Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of
shared medium Ethernet.
- Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing
preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames.
- Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET.
- Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and
de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into
multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and
factor out common parts of netlink operation handling.
- Add TX frame aggregation parameters (for USB drivers).
- Add a new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report TC (offload) warning
messages with notifications for debug.
- Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct.
- Add support for per action HW stats in TC.
- Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from
a specific point in the action chain).
- Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with
modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless
Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to
using nl80211 interface instead.
- Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return
error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling,
including the definition of a new default value that will benefit
CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +===================================== +Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) +===================================== + +Intel's Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) protect confidential guest VMs from +the host and physical attacks by isolating the guest register state and by +encrypting the guest memory. In TDX, a special module running in a special +mode sits between the host and the guest and manages the guest/host +separation. + +Since the host cannot directly access guest registers or memory, much +normal functionality of a hypervisor must be moved into the guest. This is +implemented using a Virtualization Exception (#VE) that is handled by the +guest kernel. A #VE is handled entirely inside the guest kernel, but some +require the hypervisor to be consulted. + +TDX includes new hypercall-like mechanisms for communicating from the +guest to the hypervisor or the TDX module. + +New TDX Exceptions +================== + +TDX guests behave differently from bare-metal and traditional VMX guests. +In TDX guests, otherwise normal instructions or memory accesses can cause +#VE or #GP exceptions. + +Instructions marked with an '*' conditionally cause exceptions. The +details for these instructions are discussed below. + +Instruction-based #VE +--------------------- + +- Port I/O (INS, OUTS, IN, OUT) +- HLT +- MONITOR, MWAIT +- WBINVD, INVD +- VMCALL +- RDMSR*,WRMSR* +- CPUID* + +Instruction-based #GP +--------------------- + +- All VMX instructions: INVEPT, INVVPID, VMCLEAR, VMFUNC, VMLAUNCH, + VMPTRLD, VMPTRST, VMREAD, VMRESUME, VMWRITE, VMXOFF, VMXON +- ENCLS, ENCLU +- GETSEC +- RSM +- ENQCMD +- RDMSR*,WRMSR* + +RDMSR/WRMSR Behavior +-------------------- + +MSR access behavior falls into three categories: + +- #GP generated +- #VE generated +- "Just works" + +In general, the #GP MSRs should not be used in guests. Their use likely +indicates a bug in the guest. The guest may try to handle the #GP with a +hypercall but it is unlikely to succeed. + +The #VE MSRs are typically able to be handled by the hypervisor. Guests +can make a hypercall to the hypervisor to handle the #VE. + +The "just works" MSRs do not need any special guest handling. They might +be implemented by directly passing through the MSR to the hardware or by +trapping and handling in the TDX module. Other than possibly being slow, +these MSRs appear to function just as they would on bare metal. + +CPUID Behavior +-------------- + +For some CPUID leaves and sub-leaves, the virtualized bit fields of CPUID +return values (in guest EAX/EBX/ECX/EDX) are configurable by the +hypervisor. For such cases, the Intel TDX module architecture defines two +virtualization types: + +- Bit fields for which the hypervisor controls the value seen by the guest + TD. + +- Bit fields for which the hypervisor configures the value such that the + guest TD either sees their native value or a value of 0. For these bit + fields, the hypervisor can mask off the native values, but it can not + turn *on* values. + +A #VE is generated for CPUID leaves and sub-leaves that the TDX module does +not know how to handle. The guest kernel may ask the hypervisor for the +value with a hypercall. + +#VE on Memory Accesses +====================== + +There are essentially two classes of TDX memory: private and shared. +Private memory receives full TDX protections. Its content is protected +against access from the hypervisor. Shared memory is expected to be +shared between guest and hypervisor and does not receive full TDX +protections. + +A TD guest is in control of whether its memory accesses are treated as +private or shared. It selects the behavior with a bit in its page table +entries. This helps ensure that a guest does not place sensitive +information in shared memory, exposing it to the untrusted hypervisor. + +#VE on Shared Memory +-------------------- + +Access to shared mappings can cause a #VE. The hypervisor ultimately +controls whether a shared memory access causes a #VE, so the guest must be +careful to only reference shared pages it can safely handle a #VE. For +instance, the guest should be careful not to access shared memory in the +#VE handler before it reads the #VE info structure (TDG.VP.VEINFO.GET). + +Shared mapping content is entirely controlled by the hypervisor. The guest +should only use shared mappings for communicating with the hypervisor. +Shared mappings must never be used for sensitive memory content like kernel +stacks. A good rule of thumb is that hypervisor-shared memory should be +treated the same as memory mapped to userspace. Both the hypervisor and +userspace are completely untrusted. + +MMIO for virtual devices is implemented as shared memory. The guest must +be careful not to access device MMIO regions unless it is also prepared to +handle a #VE. + +#VE on Private Pages +-------------------- + +An access to private mappings can also cause a #VE. Since all kernel +memory is also private memory, the kernel might theoretically need to +handle a #VE on arbitrary kernel memory accesses. This is not feasible, so +TDX guests ensure that all guest memory has been "accepted" before memory +is used by the kernel. + +A modest amount of memory (typically 512M) is pre-accepted by the firmware +before the kernel runs to ensure that the kernel can start up without +being subjected to a #VE. + +The hypervisor is permitted to unilaterally move accepted pages to a +"blocked" state. However, if it does this, page access will not generate a +#VE. It will, instead, cause a "TD Exit" where the hypervisor is required +to handle the exception. + +Linux #VE handler +================= + +Just like page faults or #GP's, #VE exceptions can be either handled or be +fatal. Typically, an unhandled userspace #VE results in a SIGSEGV. +An unhandled kernel #VE results in an oops. + +Handling nested exceptions on x86 is typically nasty business. A #VE +could be interrupted by an NMI which triggers another #VE and hilarity +ensues. The TDX #VE architecture anticipated this scenario and includes a +feature to make it slightly less nasty. + +During #VE handling, the TDX module ensures that all interrupts (including +NMIs) are blocked. The block remains in place until the guest makes a +TDG.VP.VEINFO.GET TDCALL. This allows the guest to control when interrupts +or a new #VE can be delivered. + +However, the guest kernel must still be careful to avoid potential +#VE-triggering actions (discussed above) while this block is in place. +While the block is in place, any #VE is elevated to a double fault (#DF) +which is not recoverable. + +MMIO handling +============= + +In non-TDX VMs, MMIO is usually implemented by giving a guest access to a +mapping which will cause a VMEXIT on access, and then the hypervisor +emulates the access. That is not possible in TDX guests because VMEXIT +will expose the register state to the host. TDX guests don't trust the host +and can't have their state exposed to the host. + +In TDX, MMIO regions typically trigger a #VE exception in the guest. The +guest #VE handler then emulates the MMIO instruction inside the guest and +converts it into a controlled TDCALL to the host, rather than exposing +guest state to the host. + +MMIO addresses on x86 are just special physical addresses. They can +theoretically be accessed with any instruction that accesses memory. +However, the kernel instruction decoding method is limited. It is only +designed to decode instructions like those generated by io.h macros. + +MMIO access via other means (like structure overlays) may result in an +oops. + +Shared Memory Conversions +========================= + +All TDX guest memory starts out as private at boot. This memory can not +be accessed by the hypervisor. However, some kernel users like device +drivers might have a need to share data with the hypervisor. To do this, +memory must be converted between shared and private. This can be +accomplished using some existing memory encryption helpers: + + * set_memory_decrypted() converts a range of pages to shared. + * set_memory_encrypted() converts memory back to private. + +Device drivers are the primary user of shared memory, but there's no need +to touch every driver. DMA buffers and ioremap() do the conversions +automatically. + +TDX uses SWIOTLB for most DMA allocations. The SWIOTLB buffer is +converted to shared on boot. + +For coherent DMA allocation, the DMA buffer gets converted on the +allocation. Check force_dma_unencrypted() for details. + +Attestation +=========== + +Attestation is used to verify the TDX guest trustworthiness to other +entities before provisioning secrets to the guest. For example, a key +server may want to use attestation to verify that the guest is the +desired one before releasing the encryption keys to mount the encrypted +rootfs or a secondary drive. + +The TDX module records the state of the TDX guest in various stages of +the guest boot process using the build time measurement register (MRTD) +and runtime measurement registers (RTMR). Measurements related to the +guest initial configuration and firmware image are recorded in the MRTD +register. Measurements related to initial state, kernel image, firmware +image, command line options, initrd, ACPI tables, etc are recorded in +RTMR registers. For more details, as an example, please refer to TDX +Virtual Firmware design specification, section titled "TD Measurement". +At TDX guest runtime, the attestation process is used to attest to these +measurements. + +The attestation process consists of two steps: TDREPORT generation and +Quote generation. + +TDX guest uses TDCALL[TDG.MR.REPORT] to get the TDREPORT (TDREPORT_STRUCT) +from the TDX module. TDREPORT is a fixed-size data structure generated by +the TDX module which contains guest-specific information (such as build +and boot measurements), platform security version, and the MAC to protect +the integrity of the TDREPORT. A user-provided 64-Byte REPORTDATA is used +as input and included in the TDREPORT. Typically it can be some nonce +provided by attestation service so the TDREPORT can be verified uniquely. +More details about the TDREPORT can be found in Intel TDX Module +specification, section titled "TDG.MR.REPORT Leaf". + +After getting the TDREPORT, the second step of the attestation process +is to send it to the Quoting Enclave (QE) to generate the Quote. TDREPORT +by design can only be verified on the local platform as the MAC key is +bound to the platform. To support remote verification of the TDREPORT, +TDX leverages Intel SGX Quoting Enclave to verify the TDREPORT locally +and convert it to a remotely verifiable Quote. Method of sending TDREPORT +to QE is implementation specific. Attestation software can choose +whatever communication channel available (i.e. vsock or TCP/IP) to +send the TDREPORT to QE and receive the Quote. + +References +========== + +TDX reference material is collected here: + +https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/intel-trust-domain-extensions.html |
