Export TDX module information via SYSFS

cover Export TDX module information via SYSFS
From: "Alexey Gladkov (Intel)" <[email protected]>
TD-Preserving updates depend on a userspace tool to select the appropriate module to load. To facilitate this decision-making process, expose the necessary information to userspace.
Also TDX module information (version, supported features, etc) is crucial for bug reporting. For this purpose, it makes sense to have a consistent structure for host and guest information in sysfs.
As already discussed [1] in the mailing list for tdx used the directory /sys/hypervisor/tdx.

So this "/sys/hypervisor" proposal is clearly unaware of some other discussions that have been happening around sysfs ABI for TEE Security Managers like the PSP or TDX Module [1]. That PCI/TSM series discusses the motivation for a bus/class + device model, not just raw hand-crafted kobjects.
My other concern for hand-crafted kobjects is that it also destroys the relationship with other existing objects. A /sys/hypervisor/$technology is awkward when ABI like Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-driver-ccp already exists.
So, no, I am not on board with this proposal. There are already patches in flight to have TDX create a 'struct device' object that plays a similar role as the PSP device object. For any potential common attributes across vendors the proposal is that be handled via a typical sysfs class device construction that links back to the $technology device. That "tsm" class device is present in the PCI/TSM series [1].

While I see no problem with /sys/devices/virtual/tdx appearing in both host and guest, that needs to be reconciled with the fact that both SEV-SNP and TDX created misc devices in the guest.
As for conveying level, the configs-tsm (soon to be renamed configs-tsm-report) ABI already conveys the level for SEV-SNP if you are talking about VMPL.

Joerg, what do you think? How does it fit your ideas for SEV-SNP?
As I noted, both technologies currently register guest misc devices, so natural place for some simple guest side vendor-specific sysfs attributes would be via the @groups property of 'struct miscdevice'. Otherwise, the proposal for cross-vendor TSM sysfs interface is via a /sys/class/tsm device. For now I only have patches for the host side of that for generically conveying which PCI devices are consuming link encryption resources in the platform TSM.
