PCI: Detect and trust built-in Thunderbolt chips
Some computers with CPUs that lack Thunderbolt features use discrete Thunderbolt chips to add Thunderbolt functionality. These Thunderbolt chips are located within the chassis; between the Root Port labeled ExternalFacingPort and the USB-C port. These Thunderbolt PCIe devices should be labeled as fixed and trusted, as they are built into the computer. Otherwise, security policies that rely on those flags may have unintended results, such as preventing USB-C ports from enumerating. Detect the above scenario through the process of elimination. 1) Integrated Thunderbolt host controllers already have Thunderbolt implemented, so anything outside their external facing Root Port is removable and untrusted. Detect them using the following properties: - Most integrated host controllers have the "usb4-host-interface" ACPI property, as described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/pci/dsd-for-pcie-root-ports#mapping-native-protocols-pcie-displayport-tunneled-through-usb4-to-usb4-host-routers - Integrated Thunderbolt PCIe Root Ports before Alder Lake do not have the "usb4-host-interface" ACPI property. Identify those by their PCI IDs instead. 2) If a Root Port does not have integrated Thunderbolt capabilities, but has the "ExternalFacingPort" ACPI property, that means the manufacturer has opted to use a discrete Thunderbolt host controller that is built into the computer. This host controller can be identified by virtue of being located directly below an external-facing Root Port that lacks integrated Thunderbolt. Label it as trusted and fixed. Everything downstream from it is untrusted and removable. The "ExternalFacingPort" ACPI property is described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/pci/dsd-for-pcie-root-ports#identifying-externally-exposed-pcie-root-ports Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240910-trust-tbt-fix-v5-1-7a7a42a5f496@chromium.org Suggested-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Esther Shimanovich <eshimanovich@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Tested-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com> Tested-by: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>
