+Secure Launch
+=============
+
+Background
+==========
+
+The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) architecture defines two methods in
+which the target operating system is started, aka launched, on a system
+for which Intel and AMD provides implementations. These two launch types
+are static launch and dynamic launch. Static launch is referred to as
+such because it happens at one fixed point, at system startup, during
+the defined life-cycle of a system. Dynamic launch is referred to as
+such because it is not limited to being done once nor bound to system
+startup. It can in fact happen at anytime without incurring/requiring an
+associated power event for the system. Since dynamic launch can happen
+at anytime, this results in dynamic launch being split into two type of
+its own. The first is referred to as an early launch, where the dynamic
+launch is done in conjunction with the static lunch of the system. The
+second is referred to as a late launch, where a dynamic launch is
+initiated after the static launch was fully completed and the system was
+under the control of some target operating system or run-time kernel.
+These two top-level launch methods, static launch and dynamic launch
+provide different models for establishing the launch integrity, i.e. the
+load-time integrity, of the target operating system. When cryptographic
+hashing is used to create an integrity assessment for the launch
+integrity, then for a static launch this is referred to as the Static
+Root of Trust for Measurement (SRTM) and for dynamic launch it is
+referred to as the Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM).
+
+The reasoning for needing the two integrity models is driven by the fact
+that these models leverage what is referred to as a "transitive trust".
+A transitive trust is commonly referred to as a "trust chain", which is
+created through the process of an entity making an integrity assessment
+of another entity and upon success transfers control to the new entity.
+This process is then repeated by each entity until the Trusted Computing
+Base (TCB) of system has been established. A challenge for transitive
+trust is that the process is susceptible to cumulative error
+and in this case that error is inaccurate or improper integrity
+assessments. The way to address cumulative error is to reduce the
+number of instances that can create error involved in the process. In
+this case it would be to reduce then number of entities involved in the
+transitive trust. It is not possible to reduce the number of firmware
+components or the boot loader(s) involved during static launch. This is
+where dynamic launch comes in, as it introduces the concept for a CPU to
+provide an instruction that results in a transitive trust starting with
+the CPU doing an integrity assessment of a special loader that can then
+start a target operating system. This reduces the trust chain down to
+the CPU, a special loader, and the target operation system. It is also
+why it is said that the DRTM is rooted in hardware since the CPU is what
+does the first integrity assessment, i.e. the first measurement, in the
+trust chain.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+Prior to the start of the TrenchBoot project, the only active Open
+Source project supporting dynamic launch was Intel's Tboot project to
+support their implementation of dynamic launch known as Intel Trusted
+eXecution Technology (TXT). The approach taken by Tboot was to provide
+an exokernel that could handle the launch protocol implemented by
+Intel's special loader, the SINIT Authenticated Code Module (ACM [3]_)
+and remained in memory to manage the SMX CPU mode that a dynamic launch
+would put a system. While it is not precluded from being used for doing
+a late launch, Tboot's primary use case was to be used as an early
+launch solution. As a result the TrenchBoot project started the
+development of Secure Launch kernel feature to provide a more
+generalized approach. The focus of the effort is twofold, the first is to
+make the Linux kernel directly aware of the launch protocol used by
+Intel as well as AMD, and the second is to make the Linux kernel be able
+to initiate a dynamic launch. It is through this approach that the
+Secure Launch kernel feature creates a basis for the Linux kernel to be
+used in a variety of dynamic launch use cases.
+
+The first use case that the TrenchBoot project focused on was the
+ability for the Linux kernel to be started by a dynamic launch, in
+particular as part of an early launch sequence. In this case the dynamic
+launch will be initiated by a boot loader with associated support added
+to it, for example the first targeted boot loader in this case was
+GRUB2. An integral part of establishing a measurement-based launch
+integrity involves measuring everything that is intended to be executed
+(kernel image, initrd, etc) and everything that will configure that
+kernel to execute (command line, boot params, etc). Then storing those
+measurements in a protected manner. Both the Intel and AMD dynamic
+launch implementations leverage the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to
+store those measurements. The TPM itself has been designed such that a
+dynamic launch unlocks a specific set of Platform Configuration
+Registers (PCR) for holding measurement taken during the dynamic launch.
+These are referred to as the DRTM PCRs, PCRs 17-22. Further details on
+this process can be found in the documentation for the GETSEC
+instruction provided by Intel's TXT and the SKINIT instruction provided
+by AMD's AMD-V. The documentation on these technologies can be readily
+found online; see the `Resources`_ section below for references.
+
+Currently only Intel TXT is supported in this first release of the Secure
+Launch feature. AMD/Hygon SKINIT support will be added in a subsequent
+release. Also this first version does not support a late relaunch which
+allows re-establishing the DRTM at various points post boot.
+
+To enable the kernel to be launched by GETSEC, a stub must be built
+into the setup section of the compressed kernel to handle the specific
+state that the dynamic launch process leaves the BSP in. Also this stub
+must measure everything that is going to be used as early as possible.
+This stub code and subsequent code must also deal with the specific
+state that the dynamic launch leaves the APs in.
+
+Basic Boot Flow:
+----------------
+
+Pre-launch: *Phase where the environment is prepared and configured to initiate the
+secure launch in the GRUB bootloader.*
+
+ - Prepare the CPU and the TPM for the launch.
+ - Load the kernel, initrd and ACM [3]_ into memory.
+ - Setup the TXT heap and page tables describing the MLE [1]_ per the
+ specification.
+ - Initiate the secure launch with the GETSET[SENTER] instruction.
+
+Post-launch: *Phase where control is passed from the ACM to the MLE and the secure
+kernel begins execution.*
+
+ - Entry from the dynamic launch jumps to the SL stub
+ - SL stub fixes up the world on the BSP
+ - For TXT, SL stub wakes the APs, fixes up their worlds
+ - For TXT, APs are left halted waiting for an NMI to wake them
+ - SL stub jumps to startup_32
+ - SL main locates the TPM event log and writes the measurements of
+ configuration and module information into it.
+ - Kernel boot proceeds normally from this point.
+ - During early setup, slaunch_setup() runs to finish some validation
+ and setup tasks.
+ - The SMP bringup code is modified to wake the waiting APs. APs vector
+ to rmpiggy and start up normally from that point.
+ - SL platform module is registered as a late initcall module. It reads
+ the TPM event log and extends the measurements taken into the TPM PCRs.
+ - SL platform module initializes the securityfs interface to allow
+ asccess to the TPM event log and TXT public registers.
+ - Kernel boot finishes booting normally
+ - SEXIT support to leave SMX mode is present on the kexec path and
+ the various reboot paths (poweroff, reset, halt).
+
+
+.. note::
+ A quick note on terminology. The larger open source project itself is
+ called TrenchBoot, which is hosted on GitHub (links below). The kernel
+ feature enabling the use of the x86 technology is referred to as "Secure
+ Launch" within the kernel code.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+The settings to enable Secure Launch using Kconfig are under::
+
+ "Processor type and features" --> "Secure Launch support"
+
+A kernel with this option enabled can still be booted using other supported
+methods. There are two Kconfig options for Secure Launch::
+
+ "Secure Launch Alternate PCR 19 usage"
+ "Secure Launch Alternate PCR 20 usage"
+
+The help indicates their usage as alternate post launch PCRs to separate
+measurements for more flexibility (both disabled by default).
+
+To reduce the Trusted Computing Base (TCB) of the MLE [1]_, the build
+configuration should be pared down as narrowly as one's use case allows.
+The fewer drivers (less active hardware) and features reduces the attack
+surface. E.g. in the extreme, the MLE could only have local disk access
+and no other hardware support. Or only network access for remote attestation.
+
+It is also desirable if possible to embed the initrd used with the MLE kernel
+image to reduce complexity.
+
+The following are a few important configuration necessities to always consider:
+
+KASLR Configuration
+-------------------
+
+Secure Launch does not interoperate with KASLR. If possible, the MLE should be
+built with KASLR disabled::
+
+ "Processor type and features" -->
+ "Build a relocatable kernel" -->
+ "Randomize the address of the kernel image (KASLR) [ ]"
+
+This unsets the Kconfig value CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE.
+
+If not possible, KASLR must be disabled on the kernel command line when doing
+a Secure Launch as follows::
+
+ nokaslr
+
+IOMMU Configuration
+-------------------
+
+When doing a Secure Launch, the IOMMU should always be enabled and the drivers
+loaded. However, IOMMU passthrough mode should never be used. This leaves the
+MLE completely exposed to DMA after the PMR's [2]_ are disabled. First, IOMMU
+passthrough should be disabled by default in the build configuration::
+
+ "Device Drivers" -->
+ "IOMMU Hardware Support" -->
+ "IOMMU passthrough by default [ ]"
+
+This unset the Kconfig value CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH.
+
+In addition, passthrough must be disabled on the kernel command line when doing
+a Secure Launch as follows::
+
+ iommu=nopt iommu.passthrough=0
+
+Interface
+=========
+
+The primary interfaces between the various components in TXT are the TXT MMIO
+registers and the TXT heap. The MMIO register banks are described in Appendix B
+of the TXT MLE [1]_ Developement Guide.
+
+The TXT heap is described in Appendix C of the TXT MLE [1]_ Development
+Guide. Most of the TXT heap is predefined in the specification. The heap is
+initialized by firmware and the pre-launch environment and is subsequently used
+by the SINIT ACM. One section, called the OS to MLE Data Table, is reserved for
+software to define. This table is the Secure Launch binary interface between
+the pre- and post-launch environments and is defined as follows::
+
+ /*
+ * Secure Launch defined MTRR saving structures
+ */
+ struct txt_mtrr_pair {
+ u64 mtrr_physbase;
+ u64 mtrr_physmask;
+ } __packed;
+
+ struct txt_mtrr_state {
+ u64 default_mem_type;
+ u64 mtrr_vcnt;
+ struct txt_mtrr_pair mtrr_pair[TXT_OS_MLE_MAX_VARIABLE_MTRRS];
+ } __packed;
+
+ /*
+ * Secure Launch defined OS/MLE TXT Heap table
+ */
+ struct txt_os_mle_data {
+ u32 version;
+ u32 boot_params_addr;
+ u64 saved_misc_enable_msr;
+ struct txt_mtrr_state saved_bsp_mtrrs;
+ u32 ap_wake_block;
+ u32 ap_wake_block_size;
+ u64 evtlog_addr;
+ u32 evtlog_size;
+ u8 mle_scratch[64];
+ } __packed;

+Error Codes
+===========
+
+The TXT specification defines the layout for TXT 32 bit error code values.
+The bit encodings indicate where the error originated (e.g. with the CPU,
+in the SINIT ACM, in software). The error is written to a sticky TXT
+register that persists across resets called TXT.ERRORCODE (see the TXT
+MLE Development Guide). The errors defined by the Secure Launch feature are
+those generated in the MLE software. They have the format::
+
+ 0xc0008XXX
+
+The low 12 bits are free for defining the following Secure Launch specific
+error codes.

+Name: SL_ERROR_TPM_INIT
+Value: 0xc0008002
+====== =================
+
+Description:
+
+The secure launch code failed to get an access to the TPM hardware interface.
+This is most likely to due to misconfigured hardware or kernel. Ensure the
+TPM chip is enabled and the kernel TPM support is built in (it should not be
+built as a module).
+
+====== ==========================
+Name: SL_ERROR_TPM_INVALID_LOG20
+Value: 0xc0008003
+====== ==========================
+
+Description:
+
+The secure launch code failed to find a valid event log descriptor for TPM
+version 2.0 or the event log descriptor is malformed. Usually this indicates
+that incompatible versions of the pre-launch environment (GRUB) and the MLE
+kernel. GRUB and the kernel share a structure in the TXT heap and if this
+structure (the OS-MLE table) is mismatched, this error is often seen. In
+addition, this value is set by the pre-launch environment, so the issue could
+originate there. It could be the sign of an attempted attack.
+
+====== ===========================
+Name: SL_ERROR_TPM_LOGGING_FAILED
+Value: 0xc0008004
+====== ===========================
+
+Description:
+
+There was a failed attempt to write a TPM event to the event log early in the
+secure launch process. This is likely the result of a malformed TPM event log
+buffer. Formatting of the event log buffer information is done by the
+pre-launch environment (GRUB) so the the issue originates there.
+
+====== ============================
+Name: SL_ERROR_REGION_STRADDLE_4GB
+Value: 0xc0008005
+====== ============================
+
+Description:
+
+During early validation a buffer or region was found to straddle the 4Gb
+boundary. Because of the way TXT does DMA memory protection, this is an
+unsafe configuration and is flagged as an error. This is most likely a
+configuration issue in the pre-launch environment. It could also be the sign of
+an attempted attack.
+
+====== ===================
+Name: SL_ERROR_TPM_EXTEND
+Value: 0xc0008006
+====== ===================
+
+Description:
+
+There was a failed attempt to extend a TPM PCR in the secure launch platform

+be built as a module).
+
+====== ======================
+Name: SL_ERROR_MTRR_INV_VCNT
+Value: 0xc0008007
+====== ======================
+
+Description:
+
+During early secure launch validation an invalid variable MTRR count was found.
+The pre-launch environment passes a number of MSR values to the MLE to restore
+including the MTRRs. The values are restored by the secure launch early entry
+point code. After measuring the values supplied by the pre-launch environment,
+a discrepancy was found validating the values. It could be the sign of an
+attempted attack.
+

+Value: 0xc000800c
+====== =========================
+
+Description:
+
+The application processors (APs) wait to be woken up by the SMP initialization
+code. The only interrupt that they expect is an NMI; all other interrupts
+should be masked. If an AP gets some other interrupt other than an NMI it will
+cause this error. This error is very unlikely to occur.
+
+====== =========================
+Name: SL_ERROR_INTEGER_OVERFLOW
+Value: 0xc000800d
+====== =========================
+
+Description:
+
+A buffer base and size passed to the MLE caused an integer overflow when
+added together. This is most likely a configuration issue in the pre-launch
+environment. It could also be the sign of an attempted attack.
+
+====== ==================
+Name: SL_ERROR_HEAP_WALK
+Value: 0xc000800e
+====== ==================
+
+Description:
+
+An error occurred in TXT heap walking code. The underlying issue is a failure to
+early_memremap() portions of the heap, most likely due to a resource shortage.
+
+====== =================
+Name: SL_ERROR_HEAP_MAP
+Value: 0xc000800f
+====== =================
+
+Description:
+
+This error is essentially the same as SL_ERROR_HEAP_WALK but occured during the
+actual early_memremap() operation.
+
+====== =========================
+Name: SL_ERROR_REGION_ABOVE_4GB
+Value: 0xc0008010
+====== =========================
+
+Description:
+
+A memory region used by the MLE is above 4GB. In general this is not a problem
+because memory > 4Gb can be protected from DMA. There are certain buffers that
+should never be above 4Gb though and one of these caused the violation. This is
+most likely a configuration issue in the pre-launch environment. It could also
+be the sign of an attempted attack.
+
+====== ==========================
+Name: SL_ERROR_HEAP_INVALID_DMAR
+Value: 0xc0008011
+====== ==========================
+
+Description:
+
+The backup copy of the ACPI DMAR table which is supposed to be located in the
+TXT heap could not be found. This is due to a bug in the platform's ACM module
+or in firmware.
+
+====== =======================
+Name: SL_ERROR_HEAP_DMAR_SIZE
+Value: 0xc0008012
+====== =======================
+
+Description:
+
+The backup copy of the ACPI DMAR table in the TXT heap is to large to be stored
+for later usage. This error is very unlikely to occur since the area reserved
+for the copy is far larger than the DMAR should be.

+Value: 0xc0008013
+====== ======================
+
+Description:
+

+====== ====================
+
+Description:
+
+On a system with more than 4G of RAM, the high PMR [2]_ base address should be set
+to 4G. This error is due to that not being the case. This PMR value is set by
+the pre-launch environment so the issue originates there. It could also be the
+sign of an attempted attack.
+
+====== ====================
+Name: SL_ERROR_HI_PMR_SIZE
+Value: 0xc0008015
+====== ====================
+
+Description:
+
+On a system with more than 4G of RAM, the high PMR [2]_ size should be set to cover
+all RAM > 4G. This error is due to that not being the case. This PMR value is
+set by the pre-launch environment so the issue originates there. It could also
+be the sign of an attempted attack.
+
+====== ====================
+Name: SL_ERROR_LO_PMR_BASE
+Value: 0xc0008016
+====== ====================
+
+Description:
+
+The low PMR [2]_ base should always be set to address zero. This error is due to
+that not being the case. This PMR value is set by the pre-launch environment
+so the issue originates there. It could also be the sign of an attempted

+
+====== ====================
+Name: SL_ERROR_LO_PMR_MLE
+Value: 0xc0008017
+====== ====================
+
+Description:
+
+This error indicates the MLE image is not covered by the low PMR [2]_ range. The
+PMR values are set by the pre-launch environment so the issue originates there.
+It could also be the sign of an attempted attack.
+
+====== =======================
+Name: SL_ERROR_INITRD_TOO_BIG
+Value: 0xc0008018
+====== =======================
+
+Description:
+
+The external initrd provided is larger than 4Gb. This is not a valid
+configuration for a secure launch due to managing DMA protection.
+
+====== =========================
+Name: SL_ERROR_HEAP_ZERO_OFFSET
+Value: 0xc0008019
+====== =========================
+
+Description:
+
+During a TXT heap walk an invalid/zero next table offset value was found. This
+indicates the TXT heap is malformed. The TXT heap is initialized by the
+pre-launch environment so the issue most likely originates there. It could also
+be a sign of an attempted attack. In addition, ACM is also responsible for
+manipulating parts of the TXT heap so the issue could be due to a bug in the
+platform's ACM module.
+
+====== =============================
+Name: SL_ERROR_WAKE_BLOCK_TOO_SMALL
+Value: 0xc000801a
+====== =============================
+
+Description:
+
+The AP wake block buffer passed to the MLE via the OS-MLE TXT heap table is not

+====== ===========================
+
+Description:
+
+One of the buffers passed to the MLE via the OS-MLE TXT heap table overlaps

+====== ==========================
+
+Description:
+
+One of the buffers passed to the MLE via the OS-MLE TXT heap table is not
+protected by a PMR. This value is set by the pre-launch environment so the
+issue originates there. It could also be the sign of an attempted attack.
+
+====== =============================
+Name: SL_ERROR_OS_SINIT_BAD_VERSION
+Value: 0xc000801d
+====== =============================
+
+Description:
+
+The version of the OS-SINIT TXT heap table is bad. It must be 6 or greater.
+This value is set by the pre-launch environment so the issue originates
+there. It could also be the sign of an attempted attack. It is also possible
+though very unlikely that the platform is so old that the ACM being used
+requires an unsupported version.

+Value: 0xc0008021
+====== ==========================
+
+Description:
+
+An invalid/malformed event was found in the TPM event log while reading it.
+Since only trusted entities are supposed to be writing the event log, this
+would indicate either a bug or a possible attack.

+ MLE: Measured Launch Environment is the binary runtime that is measured and
+ then run by the TXT SINIT ACM. The TXT MLE Development Guide describes the
+ requirements for the MLE in detail.

+ PMR: Intel VTd has a feature in the IOMMU called Protected Memory Registers.
+ There are two of these registers and they allow all DMA to be blocked
+ to large areas of memory. The low PMR can cover all memory below 4Gb on 2Mb
+ boundaries. The high PMR can cover all RAM on the system, again on 2Mb
+ boundaries. This feature is used during a secure launch by TXT.

+ ACM: Intel's Authenticated Code Module. This is the 32b bit binary blob that
+ is run securely by the GETSEC[SENTER] during a measured launch. It is described
+ in the Intel documentation on TXT and versions for various chipsets are
+ signed and distributed by Intel.
