Integrgity Measurement Architecture(IMA) during kexec(kexec file load)
verifies the kernel signature and measures the signature of the kernel.
The signature in the measuremnt logs is used to verfiy the
authenticity of the kernel in the subsequent kexec'd session, however in
the current implementation IMA measurement logs are not carried over thus
remote attesation cannot verify the signature of the running kernel.
Adding support to arm64 to carry over the IMA measurement logs over kexec.
Add a new chosen node entry linux,ima-kexec-buffer to hold the address and
the size of the memory reserved to carry the IMA measurement log.
Refactor existing powerpc code to be used by amr64 as well.
Changelog:
v2:
Break patches into separate patches.
- Powerpc related Refactoring
- Updating the docuemntation for chosen node
- Updating arm64 to support IMA buffer pass
v1:
Refactoring carrying over IMA measuremnet logs over Kexec. This patch
moves the non-architecture specific code out of powerpc and adds to
security/ima.(Suggested by Thiago)
Add Documentation regarding the ima-kexec-buffer node in the chosen
node documentation
v0:
Add a layer of abstraction to use the memory reserved by device tree
for ima buffer pass.
Add support for ima buffer pass using reserved memory for arm64 kexec.
Update the arch sepcific code path in kexec file load to store the
ima buffer in the reserved memory. The same reserved memory is read
on kexec or cold boot.
Prakhar Srivastava (3):
Refactoring powerpc code for carrying over IMA measurement logs, to
move non architecture specific code to security/ima.
dt-bindings: chosen: Document ima-kexec-buffer carrying over IMA
measuremnt logs over kexec.
Add support for arm64 to carry over IMA measurement logs
