<title>virt: tdx-guest: Fix handling of host controlled 'quote' buffer length</title>

<content type='text'>
Validate host controlled value `quote_buf-&gt;out_len` that determines how
many bytes of the quote are copied out to guest userspace. In TDX
environments with remote attestation, quotes are not considered private,
and can be forwarded to an attestation server.

Catch scenarios where the host specifies a response length larger than
the guest's allocation, or otherwise races modifying the response while
the guest consumes it.

This prevents contents beyond the pages allocated for `quote_buf`
(up to TSM_REPORT_OUTBLOB_MAX) from being read out to guest userspace,
and possibly forwarded in attestation requests.

Recall that some deployments want per-container configs-tsm-report
interfaces, so the leak may cross container protection boundaries, not
just local root.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Intel platforms are transitioning from traditional SGX-based
attestation toward DICE-based attestation as part of a broader move
toward open and standardized attestation models. DICE enables layered
and extensible attestation, where evidence is accumulated across
multiple boot stages.

With SGX-based attestation, Quote sizes are typically under 8KB, as the
payload consists primarily of Quote data and a small certificate bundle.
Existing TDX guest code sizes the Quote buffer accordingly.

DICE-based attestation produces significantly larger Quotes due to the
inclusion of evidence (certificate chains) from multiple boot layers.
The cumulative Quote size can reach approximately 100KB.

Increase GET_QUOTE_BUF_SIZE to 128KB to ensure sufficient buffer
capacity for DICE-based Quote payloads.

The proposed ABI failed to account for multiple host bridges with the same
stream name. The fix needs to namespace streams or otherwise link back to
the host bridge, but a change like that is too big for a fix. Given this
ABI never saw a released kernel, delete it for now and bring it back later
with this issue addressed.
