This is the fifteenth round of implementing kexec_file_load() support on arm64.[1] (See "Changes" below) Most of the code is based on kexec-tools. # Since v15, we need a few prerequisite patches; See "Changes." # You will find them in [1], too. This patch series enables us to * load the kernel by specifying its file descriptor, instead of user- filled buffer, at kexec_file_load() system call, and * optionally verify its signature at load time for trusted boot. Kernel virtual address randomization is also supported since v9. Contrary to kexec_load() system call, as we discussed a long time ago, users may not be allowed to provide a device tree to the 2nd kernel explicitly, hence enforcing a dt blob of the first kernel to be re-used internally. To use kexec_file_load() system call, instead of kexec_load(), at kexec command, '-s' option must be specified. See [2] for a necessary patch for kexec-tools. To analyze a generated crash dump file, use the latest master branch of crash utility[3]. I always try to submit patches to fix any inconsistencies introduced in the latest kernel. Regarding a kernel image verification, a signature must be presented along with the binary itself. A signature is basically a hash value calculated against the whole binary data and encrypted by a key which will be authenticated by one of the system's trusted certificates. Any attempt to read and load a to-be-kexec-ed kernel image through a system call will be checked and blocked if the binary's hash value doesn't match its associated signature. There are two methods available now: 1. implementing arch-specific verification hook of kexec_file_load() 2. utilizing IMA(Integrity Measurement Architecture)[4] appraisal framework Before my v7, I believed that my patch only supports (1) but am now confident that (2) comes free if IMA is enabled and properly configured. (1) Arch-specific verification hook If CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG is enabled, kexec_file_load() invokes an arch- defined (and hence file-format-specific) hook function to check for the validity of kernel binary. On x86, a signature is embedded into a PE file (Microsoft's format) header of binary. Since arm64's "Image" can also be seen as a PE file as far as CONFIG_EFI is enabled, we adopt this format for kernel signing. As in the case of UEFI applications, we can create a signed kernel image: $ sbsign --key ${KEY} --cert ${CERT} Image You may want to use certs/signing_key.pem, which is intended to be used for module signing (CONFIG_MODULE_SIG), as ${KEY} and ${CERT} for test purpose. (2) IMA appraisal-based IMA was first introduced in linux in order to meet TCG (Trusted Computing Group) requirement that all the sensitive files be *measured* before reading/executing them to detect any untrusted changes/modification. Then appraisal feature, which allows us to ensure the integrity of files and even prevent them from reading/executing, was added later. Meanwhile, kexec_file_load() has been merged since v3.17 and evolved to enable IMA-appraisal type verification by the commit b804defe4297 ("kexec: replace call to copy_file_from_fd() with kernel version"). In this scheme, a signature will be stored in a extended file attribute, "security.ima" while a decryption key is hold in a dedicated keyring, ".ima" or "_ima". All the necessary process of verification is confined in a secure API, kernel_read_file_from_fd(), called by kexec_file_load(). Please note that powerpc is one of the two architectures now supporting KEXEC_FILE, and that it wishes to extend IMA, where a signature may be appended to "vmlinux" file[5], like module signing, instead of using an extended file attribute. While IMA meant to be used with TPM (Trusted Platform Module) on secure platform, IMA is still usable without TPM. Here is an example procedure about how we can give it a try to run the feature using a self-signed root ca for demo/test purposes: 1) Generate needed keys and certificates, following "Generate trusted keys" section in README of ima-evm-utils[6]. 2) Build the kernel with the following kernel configurations, specifying "ima-local-ca.pem" for CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS: CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY CONFIG_INTEGRITY_SIGNATURE CONFIG_INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS CONFIG_INTEGRITY_TRUSTED_KEYRING CONFIG_IMA CONFIG_IMA_WRITE_POLICY CONFIG_IMA_READ_POLICY CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS Please note that CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG is not, actually should not be, enabled. 3) Sign(label) a kernel image binary to be kexec-ed on target filesystem: $ evmctl ima_sign --key /path/to/private_key.pem /your/Image 4) Add a command line parameter and boot the kernel: ima_appraise=enforce On live system, 5) Set a security policy: $ mount -t securityfs none /sys/kernel/security $ echo "appraise func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK appraise_type=imasig" \ > /sys/kernel/security/ima/policy 6) Add a key for ima: $ keyctl padd asymmetric my_ima_key %:.ima < /path/to/x509_ima.der (or evmctl import /path/to/x509_ima.der <ima_keyring_id>) 7) Then try kexec as normal. Concerns(or future works): * Support for physical address randomization * Signature verification of big endian kernel with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG While big-endian kernel can support kernel signing, I'm not sure that Image can be recognized as in PE format because x86 standard only defines little-endian-based format. * Support for vminux loading [1]

https://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg250653.html Changes in v14 (Sep 7, 2018) * rebased to v4.19-rc * define default KEXEC_BUF_MEM_UNKNOWN which indicates that, if kexec_buf.mem does match it,

above * set kbuf.buf_min/buf_max consistently between kexec and kdump * try to consistently use "unsigned long" for physical (kexec-time) address, and "void *" for virtual (runtime) address in

two parts, "just move" and modify * remove selecting BUILD_BIN2C from KEXEC_FILE config * modify setup_dtb() * to correct a return value on failure of fdt_xyz() call, * to always remove existing bootargs and initrd-start/end properties, if any, when copying current system's dtb into new dtb * to use fdt_setprop_string() for bootargs (I'm now sure that kimage->cmdline_buf is a null-terminated
