Open Profile for DICE is a secret derivation protocol used by some
Android devices. The firmware/bootloader generates the secrets and hands
them over to Linux in a reserved memory region.
See https://pigweed.googlesource.com/open-dice for more details.

This patchset adds the corresponding DeviceTree bindings and a driver
that takes ownership of the memory region and exposes it to userspace
via a misc device.

The patches are based on top of v5.16-rc4 and can also be found here:
  https://android-kvm.googlesource.com/linux topic/dice_v2

Changes since v1:
  * converted to miscdevice
  * all mappings now write-combine to simplify semantics
  * removed atomic state, any attempt at exclusive access
  * simplified wipe, applied on ioctl, not on release
  * fixed ioctl return value

Add DeviceTree bindings for Open Profile for DICE. DICE is a protocol
for deriving Compound Device Identifier (CDI) certificates. These are
generated by the firmware/bootloader and stored in memory. Location of
the buffer is described as a reserved memory region referenced by
a compatible DICE device node.

Open Profile for DICE is a protocol for deriving unique secrets at boot
used by some Android devices. The firmware/bootloader hands over secrets
in a reserved memory region, which this driver takes ownership of and
exposes it to userspace via a misc device.

Userspace obtains the region's size using an ioctl and mmaps the memory
to its address space. This mapping cannot be write+shared, giving
userspace a guarantee that the secrets have not been overwritten by
another process.

Userspace can also issue an ioctl requesting that the memory be wiped by
the driver. Because both the kernel and userspace mappings use
write-combine semantics, all clients will observe the memory as zeroed
after the ioctl has returned.

Nice, almost 100 lines shorter than before!

Much better, thanks for the changes, but it can be made simpler, see

Why the huge range?  You are only really using 40 and 41.  Stick to that
please.

What is the module name, please add that here.

And "dice" is a very generic name.  I don't mind, but if you want to
name it a bit more specific, that might be better.

These should be per-device, not global, right?  Please put them in a
local structure that lives off of the platform device.  Then everything
is dynamic and nothing is static making it all much simpler again.

Do that and you can get rid of the pre-definitions of dice_mmap() and
dice_ioctl() above as well.

Do you really need to call memzero_explicit()?  This isn't "local"
memory, if the compiler "optimizes away" a normal call, it would be
_VERY_ broken.

-ENOTTY please.

As you only have 2 ioctls, why not just use read/write for this?  Write
would cause dice_wipe() to happen, and read would return the size in the
buffer provided.  Then no ioctl is needed at all.

Why?  That's a device-specific thing, not a driver-specific thing.  Make
this all dynamic and you don't need to care about it at all.

Again, simplification :)

For clearing secrets, I believe memzero_explicit is nice
documentation.

Explaining what DICE is (and what Open Profile is) would be useful.

I see it is for some kind of DRM? Why is in non-evil and why do we
want it in Linux?

I understood the comments at the top of this file as encouraging devs to
err on the side of caution and be more liberal with the reservations in
case more ioctls are needed in the future. But I agree that it is highly
unlikely this driver will ever need 32 of them.

Does "open-dice" sound good? I think that's the shorthand used on the
official website.

I agree that it's not needed here. Seemed in line with other code that
handles secrets but i'm happy to just use memset.

I have no personal attachment to ENOIOCTLCMD, but it is documented as
"no ioctl command" and converted to ENOTTY before returning to userspace.
That made me think this was the right thing to do.

Fine by me but does feel like a bit of a hack. Is that a common pattern?

Sure, I'll expand the description.

Best to think of this as an extension to verified boot where each boot
stage signs the hashes of the software it loaded. The certificate is
what's passed in this reserved memory region. It is used in the context
of confidential computing for remote attestation, and it is very similar
to the EFI-based approach from IBM for SEV:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211007061838.1381129-1-dovmurik@linux.ibm.com/

There's a link to the project's documentation in the cover letter with
much more technical detail if you're interested.

That might be better.

Naming is hard.

ENOTTY is better please.

ioctls are hacks too :)

read/write like this is fine to do, might make the code simpler, and
allow the code to be used by scripts easier.  At the very least, wipe
can be done by any language instead of only those that allow ioctls.

In your first email you also mentioned removing the check in dice_probe()
that only allows a single instance. On a second thought, I think it's
simpler to keep it there for now, even if the memory is dynamically
allocated, which I agree makes the code cleaner.
The reason being that if we allowed multiple instances, we'd also need
some static unique identifier that ties the cdev filename to the DT entry,
same as /dev/disk/by-uuid/. Just adding an index number to the misc
device nodename based on DT probe order sounds very fragile, and
anything more sophisticated sounds like too much trouble for something
we don't have a clear use case for right now.

Alright, read/write it is. And that gets rid of ioctls altogether.

I don't remember what check you are talking about at all, sorry.

Remember some of us review hundreds of patches each week :(

Just add a number to the device node name like every other device in the
system has.  Nothing new or special here, right?

thanks,
