| What: /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/.../domainX/boot_acl |
| Date: Jun 2018 |
| KernelVersion: 4.17 |
| Contact: thunderbolt-software@lists.01.org |
| Description: Holds a comma separated list of device unique_ids that |
| are allowed to be connected automatically during system |
| startup (e.g boot devices). The list always contains |
| maximum supported number of unique_ids where unused |
| entries are empty. This allows the userspace software |
| to determine how many entries the controller supports. |
| If there are multiple controllers, each controller has |
| its own ACL list and size may be different between the |
| controllers. |
| |
| System BIOS may have an option "Preboot ACL" or similar |
| that needs to be selected before this list is taken into |
| consideration. |
| |
| Software always updates a full list in each write. |
| |
| If a device is authorized automatically during boot its |
| boot attribute is set to 1. |

| Description: This attribute is used to authorize Thunderbolt devices |
| after they have been connected. If the device is not |
| authorized, no PCIe devices are available to the system. |
| |
| Contents of this attribute will be 0 when the device is not |
| yet authorized. |
| |
| Possible values are supported: |
| |
| == =================================================== |
| 0 The device will be de-authorized (only supported if |
| deauthorization attribute under domain contains 1) |
| 1 The device will be authorized and connected |
| == =================================================== |
| |
| When key attribute contains 32 byte hex string the possible |
| values are: |
| |
| == ======================================================== |
| 0 The device will be de-authorized (only supported if |
| deauthorization attribute under domain contains 1) |
| 1 The 32 byte hex string is added to the device NVM and |
| the device is authorized. |
| 2 Send a challenge based on the 32 byte hex string. If the |
| challenge response from device is valid, the device is |
| authorized. In case of failure errno will be ENOKEY if |
| the device did not contain a key at all, and |
| EKEYREJECTED if the challenge response did not match. |

| Description: When new NVM image is written to the non-active NVM |
| area (through non_activeX NVMem device), the |
| authentication procedure is started by writing to |
| this file. |
| If everything goes well, the device is |
| restarted with the new NVM firmware. If the image |
| verification fails an error code is returned instead. |
| |
| This file will accept writing values "1", "2" or "3". |
| |
| - Writing "1" will flush the image to the storage |
| area and authenticate the image in one action. |
| - Writing "2" will run some basic validation on the image |
| and flush it to the storage area. |
| - Writing "3" will authenticate the image that is |
| currently written in the storage area. This is only |
| supported with USB4 devices and retimers. |
| |
| When read holds status of the last authentication |
| operation if an error occurred during the process. This |
| is directly the status value from the DMA configuration |
| based mailbox before the device is power cycled. Writing |
| 0 here clears the status. |

| Contact: Rajmohan Mani <rajmohan.mani@intel.com> |
| Description: Writing 1 to this attribute puts the USB4 port into |
| offline mode. Only allowed when there is nothing |
| connected to the port (link attribute returns "none"). |
| Once the port is in offline mode it does not receive any |
| hotplug events. This is used to update NVM firmware of |
| on-board retimers. Writing 0 puts the port back to |
| online mode. |
| |
| This attribute is only visible if the platform supports |
| powering on retimers when there is no cable connected. |
