Summary

  • Adds a HostCall implementation over the existing VBS report hypercall.
  • Requests the fixed 396-byte TVM host certification report only when the feature is enabled.
  • Keeps legacy Trusted Launch requests at zero report bytes.
  • Reuses the existing software-attested TPM lifecycle and attestation-report NV index.
  • Gates the flow behind DPS bit 5 and HCL_TVM_HOST_CERTIFICATION, both off by default.

Validation

  • Rust formatting passed.
  • Targeted Windows Cargo checks, Clippy, and tests passed.
  • Linux Cargo checks and targeted tests passed.
  • PR validation will rerun against the rebased head.

Dependencies

Requires the matching os.2020 SVC and VID producer plus IGVM Agent, Provisioner, A-LPI, and MAA changes.

Pull request overview

Adds an opt-in “direct TVM host certification” path for Host (non-isolated) attestation by introducing a host-certified TVM report type and plumbing a new Management VTL feature flag + OpenHCL option through to the TPM AK-cert request flow. This extends existing IGVM attestation request generation while preserving the legacy Trusted Launch behavior of requesting zero report bytes.

Changes:

  • Add a new Management VTL feature flag (tvm_host_certification) and validate its default/bit position.
  • Plumb HCL_TVM_HOST_CERTIFICATION through underhill_core into TPM AK-cert request generation and attestation-type selection.
  • Introduce a Host-certified TVM report variant and a new tee_call::HostCall implementation that reuses the VBS report hypercall and returns a fixed 396-byte report.

File Description
vm/devices/get/get_protocol/src/dps_json.rs Adds tvm_host_certification to ManagementVtlFeatures and a unit test asserting it maps to bit 5 and defaults off.
petri/src/vm/hyperv/powershell.rs Mirrors the new Management VTL feature flag in Hyper-V PS flag packing.
openhcl/underhill_core/src/worker.rs Plumbs the flag into DPS config and uses it to select the Host AK-cert request/attestation path.
openhcl/underhill_core/src/options.rs Adds parsing/storage for HCL_TVM_HOST_CERTIFICATION.
openhcl/underhill_core/src/lib.rs Threads the new option into worker launch configuration.
openhcl/underhill_core/src/emuplat/tpm.rs Extends TPM AK-cert request helper plumbing to carry the host-certification switch and resolve tee_call::HostCall.
openhcl/underhill_attestation/src/igvm_attest/mod.rs Adds ReportType::TvmHostCertified, maps it through request creation, and adds tests for legacy vs host-certified request sizing.
openhcl/tee_call/src/lib.rs Adds TeeType::Host, factors VBS report retrieval into a helper, and implements HostCall returning a fixed 396-byte report.

why do we need this additional API if it does the same as VBS?

Having a Host TeeType is a bit confusing
