From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx>
The Linux kernel has use cases for non-firmware file requests
from the filesystem. Some drivers, for instance the p54 driver,
uses the request_firmware() API to upload default EEPROM overrides.
Likewise, since the kernel already has cryptographic digital
signature verification support subsystems which have userspace
agents which historically have required cyptographic digital file
verification checks can replace those agents by using the kernel's
own digital verification checks on files requested from userspace.
At least for 802.11 and CRDA's [0] case for example, this is required
since CRDA has historically always had enabled digital signature
suppport on most distributions for the regulatory.bin file used to
store the 802.11 regulatory database. Providing an in-kernel replacement
should meet these same requirements unless of course distributions
start enabling digital firmware signature verification for all
required firmware. The keys for the signing regulatory data has
also been historically different than distribution's own keys
used for module signing.
There are a few motivations to replace userespace agents with these
crypto optional requirements:
* there is a need for userspace / kernel sync up
* the regulatory database ASCII format requires a binary
converter and its format also needs to kept in sync
for users that wish to have the regulatory database built
into the kernel. Currently the ASCII db.txt file is parsed
on the kernel through a fragile awk script. Keeping things
in sync as the schema grows proves complex.
* the kernel already has firmware-built-in support (see
EXTRA_FIRMWARE) which can replace our own ASCII to db
parser by letting us keep the firmware as binary in the
kernel
The Linux integrity subsystem (IMA) provides a means [1] to enable
appraisal of files in userspace, this can also be used, however CRDA
has historically been used to vet for authenticity and integrity of
the regulatory database used for in-kernel 802.11 functionality.
Use of IMA is optional, support for digital signatures for files
used in-kernel can be have different subsystem specific requirements.
There's a few issues with extending the exisitng APIs however with
dynamic and custom cryptographic support. We keep pushing firmware
APIs by extending the number of arguments needed as requirements
grow or by adding new flags used internally for the different types
of new APIs exported. Behaviour can vary depending on whether a
usermode helper alternative is required, and we provide two types of
modes of operation: synchronous and asynchronous. Instead of
extending each of all these APIs with private flags this provides a
slim down implementation of what is required to get system data from
userspace to callers, without usermode helper alternative support
ripped out and by allowing the APIs to be extensible over time
depending on whether or not they are synchronous or asynchronous.
For now this initial implementation only provides an optional
requirement for subsystems to be able to override digital
signature support, for instance, even though firmware signing
might not have been enabled this lets distributions which have
had digital signature requirements for specifici files to upkeep
that tradition.
-- Consider this patch is incomplete as it still does not
allow custom key specification, if distributions decided
to only allow signed firmware we might be able to live with
having distributions sign their own firmware and just stuff
reguatory.bin into /lib/firmware. Distributions might wish
to also make this call on their own as well.
This patch is intended to help bring discussion about what
we wish to do for the above requirements and also to help
plan and coordinate future extensions to the firmware module
and its APIs.
