[PATCH v2 3/4] firmware: add external firmware PBL support

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

 



Normally, barebox embds firmware into the binary referencing it, which
means that device tree blobs, RAM training code and e.g. TF-A for i.MX8M
end up in the prebootloader, while, e.g. Freescale FMan microcode ends
up in barebox proper. The only exception so far was barebox proper:
When only the PBL fits in on-chip SRAM, barebox proper is chainloaded
from the boot medium. To avoid TOCTOU attack, it's read fully into DRAM
after setup and then a SHA256 is calculated and compared against the
hash embedded in barebox PBL, which in a secure boot system would be
trusted by virtue of the PBL as a whole being verified beforehand by
the BootROM.

Reuse this mechanism to support arbitrary firmware, which is now termed
external firmware. Such firmware is placed beyond the piggydata (barebox
proper) and only offset and hash are included in the prebootloader
image. The new get_builtin_firmware_ext() is used to retrieve this
external firmware after integrity verification with SHA256.

This enables referencing firmware blobs from PBL that would bloat the
size of the PBL beyond what can fit into on-chip SRAM, e.g. very big
OP-TEE binaries. As users of get_builtin_firmware() didn't have to worry
about TOCTOU so far, we panic when a firmware verification fails to
ensure that we never load an OP-TEE that has been modified in-transit
We can't include the OP-TEE binary in barebox proper, because we need
to install it in EL3, but barebox proper on the i.MX8M runs as BL33
in a lower exception level.

v1 -> v2:
  - removed section for SHA256 sum of external firmware. Now just placed
    into .rodata
  - instead of duplicating filechk_fwbin, parametrized it with two
    arguments, so it can be used for both internal and external firmware
  - defined fwobjdir to make line shorter. also using objtree instead of
    objdir
  - unified get_builtin_firmware and get_builtin_firmware_ext to both
    call into same underlying function (Sascha). We can use offset == 0
    check at compile-time to see that firmware is internal and skip
    SHA verification. For internal firmware, we do _not_ define _sha
    symbols. This ensures a link error will occur should the
    verification code not be optimized away for the internal firmware
    case. Original intention was to just compare sha sum _start and _end
    symbols, but this won't optimize away verification code, because we
    don't have link-time optimization enabled.
