From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx>
Systems that have module signing currently enabled may
wish to extend vetting of firmware passed to the kernel
as well. We can re-use most of the code for module signing
for firmware signature verification and signing. This will
also later enable re-use of this same code for subsystems
that wish to provide their own cryptographic verification
requirements on userspace data needed.
Contrary to module signing the signature files are expected
to be completely detached for practical and licensing puposes.
If you have foo.bin, you'll need foo.bin.p7s file present
for firmware signing.
There's both a config option and a boot parameter which control
whether we accept or fail with unsigned firmware and firmware
that are signed with an unknown key. If firmware signing is
enabled permissively we'll only log into the kernel ring buffer
when use of an unsigned firmware file is used. If firmware
signing is in enforced mode the kernel will not allow invalid
or unsigned firmware files to be loaded into the kernel.
Contrary to module signing we do not taint the kernel in
the permissive fw signing mode due to restrictions on the
firmware_class API, extensions to enable this are expected
however in the future.

+ ================================
+ KERNEL FIRMWARE SIGNING FACILITY
+ ================================
+
+CONTENTS
+
+ - Overview.
+ - Configuring firmware signing.
+ - Using signing keys.
+ - Signing firmware files.
+
+
+========
+OVERVIEW
+========
+
+Device drivers which require a firmware to be uploaded onto a device as its own
+device's microcode use any of the following APIs:
+
+ * request_firmware()
+ * request_firmware_direct()
+ * request_firmware_nowait()
+
+The kernel firmware signing facility enables to cryptographically sign
+firmware files on a system using the same keys used for module signing.
+Firmware files's signatures consist of PKCS#7 messages of the respective
+firmware file. A firmware file named foo.bin, would have its respective
+signature on the filesystem as foo.bin.p7s. When firmware signature
+checking is enabled (FIRMWARE_SIG) and when one of the above APIs is used
+against foo.bin, the file foo.bin.p7s will also be looked for. If
+FIRMWARE_SIG_FORCE is enabled the foo.bin file will only be allowed to
+be returned to callers of the above APIs if and only if the foo.bin.p7s
+file is confirmed to be a valid signature of the foo.bin file. If
+FIRMWARE_SIG_FORCE is not enabled and only FIRMWARE_SIG is enabled the
+kernel will be permissive and enabled unsigned firmware files, or firmware
+files with incorrect signatures. If FIRMWARE_SIG is not enabled the
+signature file is ignored completely.
+
+Firmware signing increases security by making it harder to load a malicious
+firmware into the kernel. The firmware signature checking is done by the
+kernel so that it is not necessary to have trusted userspace bits.
+
+============================
+CONFIGURING FIRMWARE SIGNING
+============================
+
+The firmware signing facility is enabled by going to the section:
+
+-> Device Drivers
+ -> Generic Driver Options
+ -> Userspace firmware loading support (FW_LOADER [=y])
+ -> Firmware signature verification (FIRMWARE_SIG [=y])
+
+If you want to not allow unsigned firmware to be loaded you should
+enable:
+
+"Require all firmware to be validly signed" (FIRMWARE_SIG_FORCE [=y]),
+under the same menu.
+
+==================
+USING SIGNING KEYS
+==================
+
+The same key types used for module signing can be used for firmware
+signing. For details on that refer to Documentation/module-signing.txt.
+
+You will need:
+
+ A) A DER-encoded X.509 certificate containing the public key.
+ B) A DER-encoded PKCS#7 message containing the signatures, these are
+ the .p7s files.
+ C) A binary blob that is the detached data for the PKCS#7 message, this
+ is the firmware files
+
+A) is must be made available to the kernel. One way to do this is to provide a
+DER-encoded in the source directory as <name>.x509 when you build the kernel.
+
+======================
+SIGNING FIRMWARE FILES
+======================
+
+To generate a DER-encoded PKCS#7 signature message for each firmware file
+you can use openssl as follows:
+
+ openssl smime -sign -in $FIRMWARE_BLOB_NAME \
+ -outform DER \
+ -inkey $PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_IN_PEM_FORM \
+ -signer $X509_CERT_FILE_IN_PEM_FORM \
+ -nocerts -md $DIGEST_ALGORITHM -binary > \
+ $(FIRMWARE_BLOB_NAME).p7s
