commit 278311e417be ("kexec, KEYS: Make use of platform keyring for

The code in bzImage64_verify_sig uses the keys on the
.builtin_trusted_keys, .machine, if configured and enabled,
.secondary_trusted_keys, also if configured, and .platform keyrings
to verify the signed kernel image as PE file.

x86/setup: Use rng seeds from setup_data

Currently, the only way x86 can get an early boot RNG seed is via EFI,
which is generally always used now for physical machines, but is very
rarely used in VMs, especially VMs that are optimized for starting
"instantaneously", such as Firecracker's MicroVM. For tiny fast booting
VMs, EFI is not something you generally need or want.

Rather, the image loader or firmware should be able to pass a single
random seed, exactly as device tree platforms do with the "rng-seed"
property. Additionally, this is something that bootloaders can append,
with their own seed file management, which is something every other
major OS ecosystem has that Linux does not (yet).

Add SETUP_RNG_SEED, similar to the other eight setup_data entries that
are parsed at boot. It also takes care to zero out the seed immediately
after using, in order to retain forward secrecy. This all takes about 7
trivial lines of code.

Then, on kexec_file_load(), a new fresh seed is generated and passed to
the next kernel, just as is done on device tree architectures when
using kexec. And, importantly, I've tested that QEMU is able to properly
pass SETUP_RNG_SEED as well, making this work for every step of the way.
This code too is pretty straight forward.

Together these measures ensure that VMs and nested kexec()'d kernels
always receive a proper boot time RNG seed at the earliest possible
stage from their parents:

- Host [already has strongly initialized RNG]
- QEMU [passes fresh seed in SETUP_RNG_SEED field]
- Linux [uses parent's seed and gathers entropy of its own]
- kexec [passes this in SETUP_RNG_SEED field]
- Linux [uses parent's seed and gathers entropy of its own]
- kexec [passes this in SETUP_RNG_SEED field]
- Linux [uses parent's seed and gathers entropy of its own]
- kexec [passes this in SETUP_RNG_SEED field]
- ...

I've verified in several scenarios that this works quite well from a
host kernel to QEMU and down inwards, mixing and matching loaders, with
every layer providing a seed to the next.

x86/kexec: Carry forward IMA measurement log on kexec

On kexec file load, the Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA)
subsystem may verify the IMA signature of the kernel and initramfs, and
measure it. The command line parameters passed to the kernel in the
kexec call may also be measured by IMA.

A remote attestation service can verify a TPM quote based on the TPM
event log, the IMA measurement list and the TPM PCR data. This can
be achieved only if the IMA measurement log is carried over from the
current kernel to the next kernel across the kexec call.

PowerPC and ARM64 both achieve this using device tree with a
"linux,ima-kexec-buffer" node. x86 platforms generally don't make use of
device tree, so use the setup_data mechanism to pass the IMA buffer to
the new kernel.

x86/kexec: Use up-to-dated screen_info copy to fill boot params

kexec_file_load() currently reuses the old boot_params.screen_info,
but if drivers have change the hardware state, boot_param.screen_info
could contain invalid info.

For example, the video type might be no longer VGA, or the frame buffer
address might be changed. If the kexec kernel keeps using the old screen_info,
kexec'ed kernel may attempt to write to an invalid framebuffer
memory region.

There are two screen_info instances globally available, boot_params.screen_info
and screen_info. Later one is a copy, and is updated by drivers.

So let kexec_file_load use the updated copy.

efi/x86: Limit EFI old memory map to SGI UV machines

We carry a quirk in the x86 EFI code to switch back to an older
method of mapping the EFI runtime services memory regions, because
it was deemed risky at the time to implement a new method without
providing a fallback to the old method in case problems arose.

Such problems did arise, but they appear to be limited to SGI UV1
machines, and so these are the only ones for which the fallback gets
enabled automatically (via a DMI quirk). The fallback can be enabled
manually as well, by passing efi=old_map, but there is very little
evidence that suggests that this is something that is being relied
upon in the field.

Given that UV1 support is not enabled by default by the distros
(Ubuntu, Fedora), there is no point in carrying this fallback code
all the time if there are no other users. So let's move it into the
UV support code, and document that efi=old_map now requires this
support code to be enabled.

Note that efi=old_map has been used in the past on other SGI UV
machines to work around kernel regressions in production, so we
keep the option to enable it by hand, but only if the kernel was
built with UV support.

x86/kexec: Fill in acpi_rsdp_addr from the first kernel

When efi=noruntime or efi=oldmap is used on the kernel command line, EFI
services won't be available in the second kernel, therefore the second
kernel will not be able to get the ACPI RSDP address from firmware by
calling EFI services and so it won't boot.

Commit

e6e094e053af ("x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address from boot params if available")

added an acpi_rsdp_addr field to boot_params which stores the RSDP
address for other kernel users.

Recently, after

3a63f70bf4c3 ("x86/boot: Early parse RSDP and save it in boot_params")

the acpi_rsdp_addr will always be filled with a valid RSDP address.

So fill in that value into the second kernel's boot_params thus ensuring
that the second kernel receives the RSDP value from the first kernel.

This commit adds a VERIFY_USE_PLATFORM_KEYRING similar to previous

should verify the signature using platform keyring. Also, decrease
the error message log level when verification failed with -ENOKEY,

changed the behavior of kexec_locate_mem_hole(): it will try to allocate
free memory only when kbuf.mem is initialized to zero.

However, x86's kexec_file_load() implementation reuses a struct
kexec_buf allocated on the stack and its kbuf.mem member gets set by
each kexec_add_buffer() invocation.

The second kexec_add_buffer() will reuse the same kbuf but not
reinitialize kbuf.mem.

Therefore, explictily reset kbuf.mem each time in order for
kexec_locate_mem_hole() to locate a free memory region each time.

but efi_memmap_unmap use nr_maps * desc_size which does not include the

The alignment in kexec code is only needed for the kexec buffer internal

kernel/kexec_file.c: allow archs to set purgatory load address

For s390 new kernels are loaded to fixed addresses in memory before they
are booted. With the current code this is a problem as it assumes the
kernel will be loaded to an 'arbitrary' address. In particular,
kexec_locate_mem_hole searches for a large enough memory region and sets
the load address (kexec_bufer->mem) to it.

Luckily there is a simple workaround for this problem. By returning 1
in arch_kexec_walk_mem, kexec_locate_mem_hole is turned off. This
allows the architecture to set kbuf->mem by hand. While the trick works
fine for the kernel it does not for the purgatory as here the
architectures don't have access to its kexec_buffer.

Give architectures access to the purgatories kexec_buffer by changing
kexec_load_purgatory to take a pointer to it. With this change
architectures have access to the buffer and can edit it as they need.

A nice side effect of this change is that we can get rid of the
purgatory_info->purgatory_load_address field. As now the information
stored there can directly be accessed from kbuf->mem.

kexec_file,x86,powerpc: factor out kexec_file_ops functions

As arch_kexec_kernel_image_{probe,load}(),
arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() and arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig()
are almost duplicated among architectures, they can be commonalized with
an architecture-defined kexec_file_ops array. So let's factor them out.

x86/boot/e820: Rename the e820_table_firmware to e820_table_kexec

Currently the e820_table_firmware[] table is mainly used by the kexec,
and it is not what it's supposed to be - despite its name it might be
modified by the kernel.

So change its name to e820_table_kexec[]. In the next patch we will
introduce the real e820_table_firmware[] table.

No functional change.

x86/boot/e820: Clean up the E820 table size define names

We've got a number of defines related to the E820 table and its size:

E820MAP
E820NR
E820_X_MAX
E820MAX

The first two denote byte offsets into the zeropage (struct boot_params),
and can are not used in the kernel and can be removed.

The E820_*_MAX values have an inconsistent structure and it's unclear in any
case what they mean. 'X' presuably goes for extended - but it's not very
expressive altogether.

Change these over to:

E820_MAX_ENTRIES_ZEROPAGE
E820_MAX_ENTRIES

... which are self-explanatory names.

No change in functionality.

x86/boot/e820: Prefix the E820_* type names with "E820_TYPE_"

So there's a number of constants that start with "E820" but which
are not types - these create a confusing mixture when seen together
with 'enum e820_type' values:

E820MAP
E820NR
E820_X_MAX
E820MAX

To better differentiate the 'enum e820_type' values prefix them
with E820_TYPE_.
