The regions of memory used for these devices are marked +reserved in the e820 map. When we turn on DMA translation, DMA to those +regions will fail. Hence BIOS uses RMRR to specify these regions along with +devices that need to access these regions. OS is expected to setup +unity mappings for these regions for these devices to access these regions. + +How is IOVA generated? +---------------------- + +Well behaved drivers call pci_map_*() calls before sending command to device +that needs to perform DMA. Once DMA is completed and mapping is no longer +required, device performs a pci_unmap_*() calls to unmap the region. + +The Intel IOMMU driver allocates a virtual address per domain. Each PCIE +device has its own domain (hence protection). Devices under p2p bridges +share the virtual address with all devices under the p2p bridge due to +transaction id aliasing for p2p bridges. + +IOVA generation is pretty generic. We used the same technique as vmalloc() +but these are not global address spaces, but separate for each domain. +Different DMA engines may support different number of domains. + +We also allocate guard pages with each mapping, so we can attempt to catch +any overflow that might happen. + + +Graphics Problems? +------------------ +If you encounter issues with graphics devices, you can try adding +option intel_iommu=igfx_off to turn off the integrated graphics engine. +If this fixes anything, please ensure you file a bug reporting the problem. + +Some exceptions to IOVA +----------------------- +Interrupt ranges are not address translated, (0xfee00000 - 0xfeefffff). +The same is true for peer to peer transactions.

The Integrity +Measurement Architecture (IMA) and Linux Integrity Module interface +are examples of such solutions. + +To get trust in the initial kernel without using Intel TXT, a +static root of trust must be used. This bases trust in BIOS +starting at system reset and requires measurement of all code +executed between system reset through the completion of the kernel +boot as well as data objects used by that code. In the case of a +Linux kernel, this means all of BIOS, any option ROMs, the +bootloader and the boot config. In practice, this is a lot of +code/data, much of which is subject to change from boot to boot +(e.g. changing NICs may change option ROMs). Without reference +hashes, these measurement changes are difficult to assess or +confirm as benign. This process also does not provide DMA +protection, memory configuration/alias checks and locks, crash +protection, or policy support. + +By using the hardware-based root of trust that Intel TXT provides, +many of these issues can be mitigated. Specifically: many +pre-launch components can be removed from the trust chain, DMA +protection is provided to all launched components, a large number +of platform configuration checks are performed and values locked, +protection is provided for any data in the event of an improper +shutdown, and there is support for policy-based execution/verification. +This provides a more stable measurement and a higher assurance of +system configuration and initial state than would be otherwise +possible. Since the tboot project is open source, source code for +almost all parts of the trust chain is available (excepting SMM and +Intel-provided firmware). + +How Does it Work? +================= + +- Tboot is an executable that is launched by the bootloader as + the "kernel" (the binary the bootloader executes). +- It performs all of the work necessary to determine if the + platform supports Intel TXT and, if so, executes the GETSEC[SENTER] + processor instruction that initiates the dynamic root of trust. + + - If tboot determines that the system does not support Intel TXT + or is not configured correctly (e.g. the SINIT AC Module was + incorrect), it will directly launch the kernel with no changes + to any state. + - Tboot will output various information about its progress to the + terminal, serial port, and/or an in-memory log; the output + locations can be configured with a command line switch. + +- The GETSEC[SENTER] instruction will return control to tboot and + tboot then verifies certain aspects of the environment (e.g. TPM NV + lock, e820 table does not have invalid entries, etc.). +- It will wake the APs from the special sleep state the GETSEC[SENTER] + instruction had put them in and place them into a wait-for-SIPI + state. + + - Because the processors will not respond to an INIT or SIPI when + in the TXT environment, it is necessary to create a small VT-x + guest for the APs. When they run in this guest, they will + simply wait for the INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence, which will cause + VMEXITs, and then disable VT and jump to the SIPI vector. This + approach seemed like a better choice than having to insert + special code into the kernel's MP wakeup sequence. + +- Tboot then applies an (optional) user-defined launch policy to + verify the kernel and initrd. + + - This policy is rooted in TPM NV and is described in the tboot + project. The tboot project also contains code for tools to + create and provision the policy. + - Policies are completely under user control and if not present + then any kernel will be launched. + - Policy action is flexible and can include halting on failures + or simply logging them and continuing. + +- Tboot adjusts the e820 table provided by the bootloader to reserve + its own location in memory as well as to reserve certain other + TXT-related regions. +- As part of its launch, tboot DMA protects all of RAM (using the + VT-d PMRs). Thus, the kernel must be booted with 'intel_iommu=on' + in order to remove this blanket protection and use VT-d's + page-level protection. +- Tboot will populate a shared page with some data about itself and + pass this to the Linux kernel as it transfers control. + + - The location of the shared page is passed via the boot_params + struct as a physical address. + +- The kernel will look for the tboot shared page address and, if it + exists, map it. +- As one of the checks/protections provided by TXT, it makes a copy + of the VT-d DMARs in a DMA-protected region of memory and verifies + them for correctness. The VT-d code will detect if the kernel was + launched with tboot and use this copy instead of the one in the + ACPI table. +- At this point, tboot and TXT are out of the picture until a + shutdown (S<n>) +- In order to put a system into any of the sleep states after a TXT + launch, TXT must first be exited. This is to prevent attacks that + attempt to crash the system to gain control on reboot and steal + data left in memory. + + - The kernel will perform all of its sleep preparation and + populate the shared page with the ACPI data needed to put the + platform in the desired sleep state. + - Then the kernel jumps into tboot via the vector specified in the + shared page. + - Tboot will clean up the environment and disable TXT, then use the + kernel-provided ACPI information to actually place the platform + into the desired sleep state. + - In the case of S3, tboot will also register itself as the resume + vector. This is necessary because it must re-establish the + measured environment upon resume. Once the TXT environment + has been restored, it will restore the TPM PCRs and then + transfer control back to the kernel's S3 resume vector. + In order to preserve system integrity across S3, the kernel + provides tboot with a set of memory ranges (RAM and RESERVED_KERN + in the e820 table, but not any memory that BIOS might alter over + the S3 transition) that tboot will calculate a MAC (message + authentication code) over and then seal with the TPM. On resume + and once the measured environment has been re-established, tboot + will re-calculate the MAC and verify it against the sealed value. + Tboot's policy determines what happens if the verification fails. + Note that the c/s 194 of tboot which has the new MAC code supports + this. + +That's pretty much it for TXT support. + + +Configuring the System +====================== + +This code works with 32bit, 32bit PAE, and 64bit (x86_64) kernels. + +In BIOS, the user must enable: TPM, TXT, VT-x, VT-d.
