IMA subsystem supports custom, built-in, arch-specific policies to define
the files to be measured and appraised. These policies are honored based
on the priority where arch-specific policies is the highest and custom
is the lowest.
OpenPOWER systems rely on IMA for signature verification of the kernel.
This patchset adds support for powerpc specific arch policies that are
defined based on system's OS secureboot state. The OS secureboot state
of the system is determined via device-tree entry.
Changelog:
v5:
* secureboot state is now read via device tree entry rather than OPAL
secure variables
* ima arch policies are updated to use policy based template for
measurement rules
v4:
* Fixed the build issue as reported by Satheesh Rajendran.
v3:
* OPAL APIs in Patch 1 are updated to provide generic interface based on
key/keylen. This patchset updates kernel OPAL APIs to be compatible with
generic interface.
* Patch 2 is cleaned up to use new OPAL APIs.
* Since OPAL can support different types of backend which can vary in the
variable interpretation, the Patch 2 is updated to add a check for the
backend version
* OPAL API now expects consumer to first check the supported backend version
before calling other secvar OPAL APIs. This check is now added in patch 2.
* IMA policies in Patch 3 is updated to specify appended signature and
per policy template.
* The patches now are free of any EFIisms.
v2:
* Removed Patch 1: powerpc/include: Override unneeded early ioremap
functions
* Updated Subject line and patch description of the Patch 1 of this series
* Removed dependency of OPAL_SECVAR on EFI, CPU_BIG_ENDIAN and UCS2_STRING
* Changed OPAL APIs from static to non-static. Added opal-secvar.h for the
same
* Removed EFI hooks from opal_secvar.c
* Removed opal_secvar_get_next(), opal_secvar_enqueue() and
opal_query_variable_info() function
* get_powerpc_sb_mode() in secboot.c now directly calls OPAL Runtime API
rather than via EFI hooks.
* Fixed log messages in get_powerpc_sb_mode() function.
* Added dependency for PPC_SECURE_BOOT on configs PPC64 and OPAL_SECVAR
* Replaced obj-$(CONFIG_IMA) with obj-$(CONFIG_PPC_SECURE_BOOT) in

2.20.1
POWER secure boot relies on the kernel IMA security subsystem to
perform the OS kernel image signature verification. Since each secure
boot mode has different IMA policy requirements, dynamic definition of
the policy rules based on the runtime secure boot mode of the system is
required. On systems that support secure boot, but have it disabled,
only measurement policy rules of the kernel image and modules are
defined.
This patch defines the arch-specific implementation to retrieve the
secure boot mode of the system and accordingly configures the IMA policy
rules.
This patch provides arch-specific IMA policies if PPC_SECURE_BOOT
config is enabled.

Secure boot on POWER defines different IMA policies based on the secure
boot state of the system.
This patch defines a function to detect the secure boot state of the
system.
The PPC_SECURE_BOOT config represents the base enablement of secureboot
on POWER.

Hi Nayna,
Sorry I've taken so long to get to this series, there's just too many
patches that need reviewing :/

The terminology throughout is a bit vague, we have POWER, PowerPC, Linux
on POWER etc.
What this patch is talking about is a particular implemention of secure
boot on some OpenPOWER machines running bare metal - am I right?
So saying "Secure boot on POWER defines different IMA policies" is a bit
broad I think. Really we've just decided that a way to implement secure
boot is to use IMA policies.

Should it just depend on POWERNV for now? AFAIK there's nothing in here
that's necessarily going to be shared with the guest secure boot code is
there?

Again POWER vs PowerPC.
I think something like:
"Enable support for secure boot on some systems that have firmware
support for it. If in doubt say N."

secure_boot.h would be fine.

This is a pretty weird signature. The "is_" implies it will return a
bool, but then it actually returns a device node *.

There's no good reason to search by name. You should just search by compatible.

Finding a child by name is not ideal, it encodes the structure of the
tree in the API. It's better to just search by compatible.
eg. of_find_compatible_node("ibm,secvar-v1")
You should also define what that means, ie. write a little snippet of
doc to define what the expected properties are and their meaning and so
on.
> + if (!secvar_np) {
> + pr_err("Expected secure variables support, fail-safe\n");
I'm a bit confused by this. This is the exact opposite of what I
understand fail-safe to mean. We shouldn't tell the user the system is
securely booted unless we're 100% sure it is. Right?

It seems a little weird to use the status property to indicate ok/error
and then also have a "secure-mode" property. Wouldn't just "secure-mode"
be sufficient with several states to represent what we need?

Please use of_read_property_u64() or similar.

I'm not sure what that's trying to do.

Hi Nayna,

Again this is just a design choice we've made, it's not specified
anywhere or anything like that. And it only applies to bare metal secure
boot, at least so far. AIUI.

It's probably worth mentioning that we intend to use this in our
Linux-based boot loader, which uses kexec, and that's one of the reasons
why we're particularly interested in defining the rules for kexec?

But these ones are not so obvious, at least to me who knows very little
about IMA.

No problem. I understand. Thanks for reviewing.

I think the idea was to convey that the same design can be reused or
extended as needed.
But I agree for now it is currently only OpenPOWER machines running on
bare metal, I will fix the wordings to use "PowerNV" consistently.

It is part of the skiboot patches
(https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1157346/)
Sure. I will add one in the kernel as well.

Yes. Thanks for pointing this out. "Fail secure" is the correct term.
This is the situation where secure variables are supported. Any failure
reading the secure variables may be an attack, so we fail securely.

Before we check in which mode the system booted (e.g. setup, user, etc)
using "secure mode" property, the "status" check helps to ensure that
the system secure boot initialized correctly. We will look into
combining the two variables.

We are exposing secure modes from the skiboot to the kernel via a
bitfield, partitioned into generic modes and backend specific modes. I
will update this code so that it is clearer.

Yes. I will make it consistent to use "PowerNV".

Yes. Agreed. I will update patch description to add this.
