Some usermode helper applications are defined at kernel build time, while others can be changed at runtime. To provide a sane way to filter these, add a new kernel option "STATIC_USERMODEHELPER". This option routes all call_usermodehelper() calls through this binary, no matter what the caller wishes to have called. The new binary (by default set to /sbin/usermode-helper, but can be changed through the STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH option) can properly filter the requested programs to be run by the kernel by looking at the first argument that is passed to it. All other options should then be passed onto the proper program if so desired. To disable all call_usermodehelper() calls by the kernel, set STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH to an empty string. Thanks to Neil Brown for the idea of this feature. Cc: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

config INTEL_TXT

depends on HAVE_INTEL_TXT
|
|
help
|
|
This option enables support for booting the kernel with the
|
|
Trusted Boot (tboot) module. This will utilize
|
|
Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch
|
|
of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this
|
|
will have no effect.
|
|
|
|
Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and
|
|
initial state as well as data reset protection. This is used to
|
|
create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which
|
|
helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning
|
|
correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside
|
|
of the kernel itself.
|
|
|
|
Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having
|
|
confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that
|
|
it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for
|
|
providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it.
|
|
|
|
See <http://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information
|
|
about Intel(R) TXT.
|
|
See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot.
|
|
See Documentation/intel_txt.txt for a description of how to enable
|
|
Intel TXT support in a kernel boot.

|
|
help
|
|
This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
|
|
from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
|
|
can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
|
|
|
|
For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
|
|
a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
|
|
On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
|
|
Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
|
|
this low address space will need the permission specific to the
|
|
systems running LSM.

help
|
|
By default, the kernel can call many different userspace
|
|
binary programs through the "usermode helper" kernel
|
|
interface. Some of these binaries are statically defined
|
|
either in the kernel code itself, or as a kernel configuration
|
|
option. However, some of these are dynamically created at
|
|
runtime, or can be modified after the kernel has started up.
|
|
To provide an additional layer of security, route all of these
|
|
calls through a single executable that can not have its name
|
|
changed.
|
|
|
|
Note, it is up to this single binary to then call the relevant
|
|
"real" usermode helper binary, based on the first argument
|
|
passed to it. If desired, this program can filter and pick
|
|
and choose what real programs are called.
