Pull x86 tdx updates from Dave Hansen: "This includes a single chunk of new functionality for TDX guests which allows them to talk to the trusted TDX module software and obtain an attestation report. This report can then be used to prove the trustworthiness of the guest to a third party and get access to things like storage encryption keys" * tag 'x86_tdx_for_6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: selftests/tdx: Test TDX attestation GetReport support virt: Add TDX guest driver x86/tdx: Add a wrapper to get TDREPORT0 from the TDX Module

+TDX Guest API Documentation
+===================================================================
+
+1. General description
+======================
+
+The TDX guest driver exposes IOCTL interfaces via the /dev/tdx-guest misc
+device to allow userspace to get certain TDX guest-specific details.
+
+2. API description
+==================
+
+In this section, for each supported IOCTL, the following information is
+provided along with a generic description.
+
+:Input parameters: Parameters passed to the IOCTL and related details.
+:Output: Details about output data and return value (with details about
+ the non common error values).
+
+2.1 TDX_CMD_GET_REPORT0
+-----------------------
+
+:Input parameters: struct tdx_report_req
+:Output: Upon successful execution, TDREPORT data is copied to
+ tdx_report_req.tdreport and return 0. Return -EINVAL for invalid
+ operands, -EIO on TDCALL failure or standard error number on other
+ common failures.
+
+The TDX_CMD_GET_REPORT0 IOCTL can be used by the attestation software to get
+the TDREPORT0 (a.k.a. TDREPORT subtype 0) from the TDX module using
+TDCALL[TDG.MR.REPORT].
+
+A subtype index is added at the end of this IOCTL CMD to uniquely identify the
+subtype-specific TDREPORT request. Although the subtype option is mentioned in
+the TDX Module v1.0 specification, section titled "TDG.MR.REPORT", it is not
+currently used, and it expects this value to be 0. So to keep the IOCTL
+implementation simple, the subtype option was not included as part of the input
+ABI. However, in the future, if the TDX Module supports more than one subtype,
+a new IOCTL CMD will be created to handle it. To keep the IOCTL naming
+consistent, a subtype index is added as part of the IOCTL CMD.

+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.
