Some computers with CPUs that lack Thunderbolt features use discrete
Thunderbolt chips to add Thunderbolt functionality. These Thunderbolt
chips are located within the chassis; between the Root Port labeled
ExternalFacingPort and the USB-C port.
These Thunderbolt PCIe devices should be labeled as fixed and trusted, as
they are built into the computer. Otherwise, security policies that rely on
those flags may have unintended results, such as preventing USB-C ports
from enumerating.
Detect the above scenario through the process of elimination.
1) Integrated Thunderbolt host controllers already have Thunderbolt
implemented, so anything outside their external facing Root Port is
removable and untrusted.
Detect them using the following properties:
- Most integrated host controllers have the "usb4-host-interface"
ACPI property, as described here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/pci/dsd-for-pcie-root-ports#mapping-native-protocols-pcie-displayport-tunneled-through-usb4-to-usb4-host-routers
- Integrated Thunderbolt PCIe Root Ports before Alder Lake do not
have the "usb4-host-interface" ACPI property. Identify those by
their PCI IDs instead.
2) If a Root Port does not have integrated Thunderbolt capabilities, but
has the "ExternalFacingPort" ACPI property, that means the
manufacturer has opted to use a discrete Thunderbolt host controller
that is built into the computer.
This host controller can be identified by virtue of being located
directly below an external-facing Root Port that lacks integrated
Thunderbolt. Label it as trusted and fixed.
Everything downstream from it is untrusted and removable.
The "ExternalFacingPort" ACPI property is described here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/pci/dsd-for-pcie-root-ports#identifying-externally-exposed-pcie-root-ports

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
