The kernel can be configured to require kexec kernel images and kernel modules are signed. An IMA policy can be specified on the boot command line or a custom IMA policy loaded requiring the kexec kernel image and kernel modules be signed. In addition, systems booted in secure boot mode with the IMA architecture specific policy enabled, require validly signed kexec kernel images and kernel modules. There are two methods of signing kernel images and two methods of signing kernel modules. In addition, there are two syscalls for each. kernel image: PE signature, IMA signature kexec syscalls: kexec_load, kexec_file_load Both the PE and IMA kernel image signature can only be verified when loaded via the kexec_file_load syscall. kernel moodule: appended signature, IMA signature kernel module syscalls: init_module, finit_module The appended kernel module signature can be verified when the kernel module is loaded via either syscall. The IMA kernel module signature can only be verified when the kernel module is loaded via the finit_module syscall. The selftests in this patch set verify that only signed kernel images and kernel modules are loaded as required, based on the kernel config, the secure boot mode, and the IMA runtime policy. Loading a kernel image or kernel module requires root privileges. To run just the IMA selftests: sudo make TARGETS=ima kselftest Mimi Zohar (5): selftests/ima: cleanup the kexec selftest selftests/ima: define a set of common functions selftests/ima: define common logging functions selftests/ima: kexec_file_load syscall test selftests/ima: loading kernel modules tools/testing/selftests/ima/Makefile | 3 +- tools/testing/selftests/ima/common_lib.sh | 154 ++++++++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/ima/test_kernel_module.sh | 96 ++++++++++ .../testing/selftests/ima/test_kexec_file_load.sh | 195 +++++++++++++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/ima/test_kexec_load.sh | 53 ++---- 5 files changed, 463 insertions(+), 38 deletions(-) create mode 100755 tools/testing/selftests/ima/common_lib.sh create mode 100755 tools/testing/selftests/ima/test_kernel_module.sh create mode 100755 tools/testing/selftests/ima/test_kexec_file_load.sh -- 2.7.5
