The larger focus of the TrenchBoot project (https://github.com/TrenchBoot) is to
enhance the boot security and integrity in a unified manner. The first area of
focus has been on the Trusted Computing Group's Dynamic Launch for establishing
a hardware Root of Trust for Measurement, also know as DRTM (Dynamic Root of
Trust for Measurement). The project has been and continues to work on providing
a unified means to Dynamic Launch that is a cross-platform (Intel and AMD) and
cross-architecture (x86 and Arm), with our recent involvment in the upcoming
Arm DRTM specification. The order of introducing DRTM to the Linux kernel
follows the maturity of DRTM in the architectures. Intel's Trusted eXecution
Technology (TXT) is present today and only requires a preamble loader, e.g. a
boot loader, and an OS kernel that is TXT-aware. AMD DRTM implementation has
been present since the introduction of AMD-V but requires an additional
component that is AMD specific and referred to in the specification as the
Secure Loader, which the TrenchBoot project has an active prototype in
development. Finally Arm's implementation is in specification development stage
and the project is looking to support it when it becomes available.
This patchset provides detailed documentation of DRTM, the approach used for
adding the capbility, and relevant API/ABI documentation. In addition to the
documentation the patch set introduces Intel TXT support as the first platform
for Linux Secure Launch.
A quick note on terminology. The larger open source project itself is called
TrenchBoot, which is hosted on Github (links below). The kernel feature enabling
the use of Dynamic Launch technology is referred to as "Secure Launch" within
the kernel code. As such the prefixes sl_/SL_ or slaunch/SLAUNCH will be seen
in the code. The stub code discussed above is referred to as the SL stub.

Changes in v2:
- Modified 32b entry code to prevent causing relocations in the compressed
kernel.
- Dropped patches for compressed kernel TPM PCR extender.
- Modified event log code to insert log delimiter events and not rely
on TPM access.
- Stop extending PCRs in the early Secure Launch stub code.
- Removed Kconfig options for hash algorithms and use the algorithms the
ACM used.
- Match Secure Launch measurement algorithm use to those reported in the
TPM 2.0 event log.
- Read the TPM events out of the TPM and extend them into the PCRs using
the mainline TPM driver. This is done in the late initcall module.
- Allow use of alternate PCR 19 and 20 for post ACM measurements.
- Add Kconfig constraints needed by Secure Launch (disable KASLR
and add x2apic dependency).
- Fix testing of SL_FLAGS when determining if Secure Launch is active
and the architecture is TXT.
- Use SYM_DATA_START_LOCAL macros in early entry point code.
- Security audit changes:
- Validate buffers passed to MLE do not overlap the MLE and are
properly laid out.
- Validate buffers and memory regions used by the MLE are
protected by IOMMU PMRs.
- Force IOMMU to not use passthrough mode during a Secure Launch.
- Prevent KASLR use during a Secure Launch.
Changes in v3:
- Introduce x86 documentation patch to provide background, overview
and configuration/ABI information for the Secure Launch kernel
feature.
- Remove the IOMMU patch with special cases for disabling IOMMU
passthrough. Configuring the IOMMU is now a documentation matter
in the previously mentioned new patch.
- Remove special case KASLR disabling code. Configuring KASLR is now
a documentation matter in the previously mentioned new patch.
- Fix incorrect panic on TXT public register read.
- Properly handle and measure setup_indirect bootparams in the early
launch code.
- Use correct compressed kernel image base address when testing buffers
in the early launch stub code. This bug was introduced by the changes
to avoid relocation in the compressed kernel.
- Use CPUID feature bits instead of CPUID vendor strings to determine
if SMX mode is supported and the system is Intel.
- Remove early NMI re-enable on the BSP. This can be safely done later
on the BSP after an IDT is setup.
Changes in v4:
- Expand the cover letter to provide more context to the order that DRTM
support will be added.
- Removed debug tracing in TPM request locality funciton and fixed
local variable declarations.
- Fixed missing break in default case in slmodule.c.
- Reworded commit messages in patches 1 and 2 per suggestions.
Changes in v5:
- Comprehensive documentation rewrite.
- Use boot param loadflags to communicate Secure Launch status to
kernel proper.
- Fix incorrect check of X86_FEATURE_BIT_SMX bit.
- Rename the alternate details and authorities PCR support.
- Refactor the securityfs directory and file setup in slmodule.c.
- Misc. cleanup from internal code reviews.
- Use reverse fir tree format for variables.
Changes in v6:
- Support for the new Secure Launch Resourse Table that standardizes
the information passed and forms the ABI between the pre and post
launch code.
- Support for booting Linux through the EFI stub entry point and
then being able to do a Secure Launch once EFI stub is done and EBS
is called.
- Updates to the documentation to reflect the previous two items listed.
Changes in v7:
- Switch to using MONITOR/MWAIT instead of NMIs to park the APs for
later bringup by the SMP code.
- Use static inline dummy functions instead of macros when the Secure
Launch feature is disabled.
- Move early SHA1 code to lib/crypto and pull it in from there.
- Numerous formatting fixes from comments on LKML.
- Remove efi-stub/DL stub patch temporarily for redesign/rework.
Changes in v8:
- Reintroduce efi-stub Linux kernel booting through the dynamic launch
stub (DL stub).
- Add new approach to setting localities > 0 through kernel and sysfs
interfaces in the TPM mainline driver.
- General code cleanup from v7 post comments.
Changes in v9:
- Updated DL stub support for recent changes to EFI stub in the kernel.
- Added patches to fix locality changing support in the TPM driver
(these patches originally were posted as a separate set).
- Enhanced Secure Launch TPM locality 2 setting in the TPM driver.
- Added locality setting support through sysfs for user land to access.
- Split up SHA1 and SHA256 changes into separate patches and updated
the commit messages to be more clear (per request from upstream
review).
- Fix Clang compile issues detected by kernel test robot.
- Modifications to the Secure Launch Resource Table ABI:
. Use flex arrays in table structures.
. Update and move fields in tables to make everything 8b aligned.
. Add 2 new DLME fields and a txt_heap address field.
. Remove platform specific tables that are not defined yet (AMD/ARM).
- Update Kconfig dependencies for Secure Launch with SHA1/SHA256/TPM.
- Remove push/pop of rsi since boot params is now stored in r15.
- Update outdated kernel documentation.
- Misc. comment fixes for type-os and mispellings.
Changes in v10:
- Removed patch #1 from previous set that forced the kernel_info
section at a fixed offset.
- Add changes from Ard Biesheuvel to use the link step to generate the
proper relative offsets for the MLE header in the kernel_info
section.
- Fix sizes and alignment slightly in the SLR table. Add comments to
the SLR header to indicate it is defined by the TrenchBoot project.
- Remove incorrect extra pop instruction noted in the head_64.S
changes.
- Use the prefix tpm/tpm2 to distinguish between TPM versions as is
done in the rest of the TPM related code.
- Rework the TPM locality setting/reporting changes to use "default"
locality as opposed to "preferred". Remove uneeded extra locality
function in the TPM interface (call the chip function directly).
- Adopt comment/documentation changes to code and commit message per
requests from the community.
- Use u64 for the boot params physical address to avoid truncating
pointers during casts.
- Split adding of new MSR registers into its own patch.
- Attempt to further address justification for using SHA-1 algorithm.
Pick up some code suggestions for the SHA-1 patch.
- Introduct slaunch_is_txt_launch() function per Jarkko Sakkinen's
suggestion.
- Implement minor changes to the EFI stub code per suggestions.
Changes in v11:
- Add section to user documents about SHA-1 usage with Secure
Launch as requested.
- General cleanup and grammar fixes to the Linux user documentation.
- Fix use of CONFIG_SECURE_LAUNCH in the EFI stub code to prevent
32b build failures.
- Cleanup of early event log handling code.
