From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@xxxxxxxxxx>
A desirable goal when doing integrity measurements is that they are done
always in the same order across boots, so that the resulting PCR value
becomes predictable and suitable for sealing policies. However, due to
parallel execution of system services at boot, a deterministic order of
measurements is difficult to achieve.
The digest_cache LSM is not exempted from this issue. Under the assumption
that only the digest list is measured, and file measurements are omitted if
their digest is found in that digest list, a PCR can be predictable only if
all files belong to the same digest list. Otherwise, it will still be
unpredictable, since files accessed in a non-deterministic order will cause
digest lists to be measured in a non-deterministic order too.
Overcome this issue, if prefetching is enabled, by searching a digest list
file name in digest_list_dir_lookup_filename() among the entries of the
linked list built by digest_cache_dir_create(). If the file name does not
match, read the digest list to trigger its measurement. Otherwise, also
create a digest cache and return that to the caller. Release the extra
reference of the directory digest cache in digest_cache_new(), since it was
only used for the search and it is not going to be returned.
Prefetching needs to be explicitly enabled by setting the new
security.dig_prefetch xattr to 1 in the directory containing the digest
lists. The newly introduced function digest_cache_prefetch_requested()
checks first if the DIR_PREFETCH bit is set in dig_owner, otherwise it
reads the xattr. digest_cache_create() sets DIR_PREFETCH in dig_owner, if
prefetching is enabled, before declaring the digest cache as initialized.
