The issue of IMA measurements getting lost between kexec 'load' and 'execute'
still exists.
I verified it on the mainline kernel 6.4.rc3. See *Appendix A* for details.
I think there's a 2nd problem. Once the IMA measurement list is frozen (at
kexec 'exec' stage)
IMA must stop extending PCRs. It can log (into the void) if it wanted to but
the PCR extensions
have to stop otherwise the TPM's PCR state won't match the log in the
kexec'ed-to kernel. I have
seen that on PPC64 some processes are being kicked off by kexec 'exec' that end
up causing TPM
driver error message due to what seems to be a shutdown of the driver subsystem
at this point.
I am not sure what an elegant method would be to stop PCR extensions. Maybe a
flag on the level
of IMA would do? Or notifying the TPM driver to reject PCR extensions or just
any command?
Thank you for raising this concern.
Agreed "kexec exec" might trigger additional measurements. As long as
these are known, consistent measurements, they could be pre-measured
before calling "kexec exec".
Tushar, Mimi,
I tried this now on ppc64 and with the following patch applied on top of
yours it seems to work.
Also the problem with the TPM PCR extensions seems to be gone with your changes
to
ima_add_template_entry() -- it's probably worth mentioning this in the patch
description.
phys_to_page doesn't seem to be generally available, so hopefully this will be
a solution for more architectures.
[I haven't tested this on x86_64 since I couldn't get kexec to work just to
begin with in any of my VMs.]
Regards,
Stefan
