drm/nouveau/core: add support for secure boot
On GM200 and later GPUs, firmware for some essential falcons (notably GR ones) must be authenticated by a NVIDIA-produced signature and loaded by a high-secure falcon in order to be able to access privileged registers, in a process known as Secure Boot. Secure Boot requires building a binary blob containing the firmwares and signatures of the falcons to be loaded. This blob is then given to a high-secure falcon running a signed loader firmware that copies the blob into a write-protected region, checks that the signatures are valid, and finally loads the verified firmware into the managed falcons and switches them to privileged mode. This patch adds infrastructure code to support this process on chips that require it. v2: - The IRQ mask of the PMU falcon was left - replace it with the proper irq_mask variable. - The falcon reset procedure expecting a falcon in an initialized state, which was accidentally provided by the PMU subdev. Make sure that secboot can manage the falcon on its own. Signed-off-by: Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@redhat.com>
