[BUG SEVERE] Failure to enable EFI Runtime services on T2 Macs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On using some specific kernel configuration, on Macs with the T2 Security chip, EFI Runtime services fail to start. Some logs which may be useful are as follows :-

The kernel configuration where this bug is seen is on https://github.com/t2linux/T2-Ubuntu-Kernel/blob/Mainline/templates/default-config

I had an old kernel configuration, where I did not face this issue and was easily able to write to the NVRAM. That kernel configuration is on https://github.com/t2linux/T2-Ubuntu-Kernel/blob/b5c20b8c7689251dd943e22dbe02cef9020db8d1/templates/default-config

I believe these lines in the kernel config, which are present in the former but absent in the latter are causing the issue :-


CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK=y
CONFIG_INTEGRITY=y
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_SIGNATURE=y
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS=y
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_TRUSTED_KEYRING=y
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYRING=y
CONFIG_LOAD_UEFI_KEYS=y
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_AUDIT=y
CONFIG_IMA=y
CONFIG_IMA_MEASURE_PCR_IDX=10
CONFIG_IMA_LSM_RULES=y
# CONFIG_IMA_TEMPLATE is not set
CONFIG_IMA_NG_TEMPLATE=y
# CONFIG_IMA_SIG_TEMPLATE is not set
CONFIG_IMA_DEFAULT_TEMPLATE="ima-ng"
CONFIG_IMA_DEFAULT_HASH_SHA1=y
# CONFIG_IMA_DEFAULT_HASH_SHA256 is not set
# CONFIG_IMA_DEFAULT_HASH_SHA512 is not set
CONFIG_IMA_DEFAULT_HASH="sha1"
# CONFIG_IMA_WRITE_POLICY is not set
# CONFIG_IMA_READ_POLICY is not set
CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE=y
# CONFIG_IMA_ARCH_POLICY is not set
# CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE_BUILD_POLICY is not set
CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM=y
CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE_MODSIG=y
CONFIG_IMA_TRUSTED_KEYRING=y
# CONFIG_IMA_KEYRINGS_PERMIT_SIGNED_BY_BUILTIN_OR_SECONDARY is not set
# CONFIG_IMA_BLACKLIST_KEYRING is not set
# CONFIG_IMA_LOAD_X509 is not set
CONFIG_IMA_MEASURE_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS=y
CONFIG_IMA_QUEUE_EARLY_BOOT_KEYS=y

Especially CONFIG_LOAD_UEFI_KEYS=y is which I guess may be the culprit.

I request you to reply to my issue as soon as possible

Thanks
Aditya
