Resending the whole set, since I apparently goofed up my list
membership and only a few patches got through. Apologies for the noise.
This patch set includes a very drafty implementation of the structures
and runtime services for the management of the secure boot keys, used
for OS secure boot. These features have seen numerous redesigns and
reimplementations, and so we are posting them now to hopefully gather
more feedback, suggestions, and recommendations as we continue to
develop secure boot support for POWER.
We are specifically looking for feedback on the general design of the
API itself, as well as some of the higher level implementation details,
such as allocated memory usage. Given that this is a draft, there are
some hacky bits of code that are still slated for a rewrite, suggestions
for cleaner reimplementations would also be appreciated.
As it currently stands, the skiroot kernel will be handling most of the
secure boot logic and enforcement, leaving the implementation in skiboot
to be little more than a secure variable storage. Thus, this set only
handles the operations necessary to load and store the variables in
PNOR. For now, the secboot partition is not validated in any form, but
future patch sets will require a hash of the partition to match that of
a hash stored in TPM NV space. The TPM NV index will be locked after
early skiroot, therefore the PNOR can not be modified without breaking
this hash.
The secboot partition is split into three major sections, two variable
storage sections (one active and one back up), and a section for
queueing variable updates, referred to as the "update queue". Since we
cannot update the TPM hash until the next boot, we must process variable
changes on boot.
Patches 1-3 contain simple background fixes and dependencies for the
following commits. Patches 4,5 contain the basic implementation of the
structures and initialization process. Patches 6-10 each implement a
single runtime service, each including the basic idea and usage in the
patch description.
