Hi all,
This is v5 of the Secure SMMUv3 series.
Many thanks to everyone who reviewed the earlier versions. This version contains
28 commits in total. Only one patch touches hw/pci (patch #23); the remaining
patches are confined to the Arm SMMUv3 model. Also some patches in v4 have been
merged into the mainline QEMU tree, so the v5 series is now smaller than v4.
Secure Stage 2 is not implemented. Secure STEs which enable Stage 2 are
rejected with C_BAD_STE. Realm and Root programming interfaces are outside the
scope of this series.
Commits layout:
---------------
The commits are roughly grouped as follows:
1. (#23, hw/pci only) Add a PCIDevice "sec-sid" property so boards can mark a
device's SEC_SID (system integration knob).
2. (#1-2, #24-27) Core data-structure and plumbing refactors.
3. (#3-8) Introduce SEC_SID through caches, notifiers, and helpers.
4. (#9-12) Page table walk related updates (e.g. NSCFG/PTE helpers).
5. (#13-15) EVTQ/CMDQ handling and invalidation paths.
6. (#16-22) MMIO/register access checks and architectural corner cases.
7. (#28) A temporary [NOT-MERGE] commit used with Hafnium to exercise
secure-bank register access.
Main updates:
-------------
- (#23, hw/pci only) Add a "sec-sid" property to PCIDevice and consume it from
the SMMU in #24 to select the security context and validate capabilities.
@Michael: could you please review the hw/pci change
("hw/pci: Add sec-sid property to PCIDevice") and confirm this kind of
system-integration property is acceptable for the PCI subtree?
For context, I previously posted this as a standalone patch [1]:
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/[email protected]/
The commit in this v5 series is an updated version based on Pierrick's
feedback (notably switching sec-sid to a string property). We also discussed
the need for this knob as a prerequisite for accurately modelling SMMU secure
state here [2]:
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/[email protected]/
We do need a stable way for boards to statically mark devices that may issue
Secure transactions.
other updates:
- Drop the CR0 and CFGI_CD fixes which are already upstream.
- Select MemTxAttrs and AddressSpace on demand from SEC_SID and keep the
programming-interface namespace in the configuration and IOTLB keys.
- Route CMDQ, EventQ, IRQ and GERROR handling through the originating
programming-interface bank.
- Tighten MMIO RAZ/WI, writability and reserved-bit handling.
- Reject unsupported non-NS IOMMU notifier registration.
- Make secure-impl an on/off/auto property, resolve auto from the Secure
AddressSpace, and require Stage 1 support when enabled.
Testing notes:
--------------
- Testing MMIO accesses
The branch currently contains one commit explicitly marked [NOT-MERGE]. It is
only used to cooperate with Hafnium to exercise and validate secure-bank
register read/write paths in a small, reproducible setup as described in [3]:
[3] https://hnusdr.github.io/2025/08/09/Test-Secure-SMMU-with-Hafnium-ENG/
This commit is not intended for upstream and will be dropped before posting
the final mergeable series.
For reference, the Hafnium test logs show the SMMU being initialized
successfully:
INFO: Loading VM id 0x8001: op-tee.
INFO: Loaded with 4 vCPUs, entry at 0xe300000.
INFO: Hafnium initialisation completed
With all smmu* traces enabled in QEMU, we can also observe secure-bank MMIO
accesses and secure CMDQ consumption (sec_sid=1), including CFGI invalidations
with ssec=1.
- Testing DMA translation
DMA translation/invalidation is tested with qtest and iommu-testdev.
The required secure/space extensions are still under RFC at [4].
Branch [5] adds the integration needed to test this series.
[4] https://gitlab.com/TaoTang/qemu/tree/qtest-secure-v5
[5] https://gitlab.com/TaoTang/qemu/tree/integration/secure-smmu-v5-qtest
This covers Secure S1 translation and the unsupported SEL2 negative case:
QTEST_QEMU_BINARY=./build/qemu-system-aarch64 \
./build/tests/qtest/iommu-smmuv3-test --tap -k \
-p /aarch64/iommu-testdev/translation/secure-s1-only
QTEST_QEMU_BINARY=./build/qemu-system-aarch64 \
./build/tests/qtest/iommu-smmuv3-test --tap -k \
-p /aarch64/iommu-testdev/translation/secure-s2-only-bad-ste
