[PATCH v2 0/6] Add device filter support

From: Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan

Currently bus drivers like USB, Thunderbolt implement a custom
version of the device "authorize" support to selectively
allow/dis-allow device driver probing. This is used to avoid
attacks by untrusted devices on unhardened drivers (i.e. drivers that
do not expect malicious hardware). For confidential computing, like
Intel TDX, a similar policy is needed because a confidential guest
doesn't trust the host's devices. This patch kit attempts to unify the
support for both.

In the v1 version, we have submitted a proposal for a driver filter
framework. But Greg asked us not to re-invent the wheel and reuse the
authorized support from USB and Thunderbolt drivers. This patch series
fixes this issue. You can find v1 version and related discussion in the
following link
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YQrXhnHJCsTxiRcP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/)

Please note that the following patches have dependency on TDX
patches [1] and Confidential Computing support patches [2] from Tom
Landecky. Mainly, dependency lies in usage of functions like
tdx_early_init(), cc_platform_has(), etc. So they will be merged along
with other TDX patches via x86 tree. But we have included it here for
review and to give the complete picture on how device filter support
is used.

x86/tdx: Add device filter support for x86 TDX guest platform
PCI: Initialize authorized attribute for confidential guest
virtio: Initialize authorized attribute for confidential guest

We are expecting to merge only following patches through the driver core
process.

driver core: Move the "authorized" attribute from USB/Thunderbolt to
core
driver core: Add common support to skip probe for un-authorized
devices
driver core: Allow arch to initialize the authorized attribute

[2] - https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/9/28/1143

Changes since v1:
* Unified authorized support in driver core and added support for device
filter.
* Included the authorized attribute use case support (TDX device filter support)
in this patch series.
