[PATCH 4/4] thunderbolt: Export IOMMU based DMA protection support to userspace

[Mika Westerberg]

Recent systems shipping with Windows 10 version 1803 or later may
support a feature called Kernel DMA protection [1]. 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. 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 then).

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.

+DMA protection utilizing IOMMU
+------------------------------
+Recent systems shipping with Windows 10 version 1803 or later may support a
+feature called `Kernel DMA Protection for Thunderbolt 3`_.  This means that
+Thunderbolt security is handled by an IOMMU so connected devices cannot
+access memory regions outside of what is allocated for them by drivers.
+When Linux is running on such system it automatically enables IOMMU if not
+enabled by the user already. These systems can be identified by reading
+``1`` from ``/sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/domainX/iommu_dma_protection``
+attribute.
+
+The driver does not do anything special in this case but because DMA
+protection is handled by the IOMMU, security levels (if set) are
+redundant. For this reason some systems ship with security level set to
+``none``. Other systems have security level set to ``user`` in order to
+support downgrade to older Windows, so users who want to automatically
+authorize devices when IOMMU DMA protection is enabled can use the
+following ``udev`` rule::
+
+  ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="thunderbolt", ATTRS{iommu_dma_protection}=="1", ATTR{authorized}=="0", ATTR{authorized}="1"
