This does what we do for system extension also for configuration extension. This is complicated by the fact that we previously looked for <uki-binary>.d/*.raw for system extensions. We want to measure sysexts and confexts to different PCRs (13 vs. 12) hence we must distinguish them, but *.raw would match both kinds. This commit solves this via the following mechanism: we'll load confexts from *.confext.raw and sysexts from *.raw but will then enclude *.confext.raw from the latter. This preserves compatibility but allows us to somewhat reasonable distinguish both types of images. The documentation is updated not going into this detail though, and instead now claims that sysexts shall be *.sysext.raw and confexts *.confext.raw even though we actually are more lenient than this. This is simply to push people towards using the longer, more descriptive suffixes. I added an XML comment (<!-- … -->) about this to the docs, so that whenever somebody notices the difference between code and docs understands why and leaves it that way.

<filename>linuxx64.efi.stub</filename>, <filename>linuxia32.efi.stub</filename>,

|
|
attached to a Linux kernel binary image, and is a piece of code that runs in the UEFI firmware
|
|
environment before transitioning into the Linux kernel environment. The UEFI boot stub ensures a Linux

kernel is executable as regular UEFI binary, and is able to do various preparations before switching the
|
|
system into the Linux world.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The UEFI boot stub looks for various resources for the kernel invocation inside the UEFI PE binary
|
|
itself. This allows combining various resources inside a single PE binary image (usually called "Unified
|
|
Kernel Image", or "UKI" for short), which may then be signed via UEFI SecureBoot as a whole, covering all
|
|
individual resources at once. Specifically it may include:</para>

<para>If UEFI SecureBoot is enabled and the <literal>.cmdline</literal> section is present in the executed

SecureBoot, or don't include a kernel command line PE section in the kernel image file. If a command line

present).</para>

<para>The contents of eight of these nine sections are measured into TPM PCR 11. It is otherwise not used

<filename>/.extra/tpm2-pcr-public-key.pem</filename> files. Typically, a

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>tmpfiles.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> line then

<title>Companion Files</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <command>systemd-stub</command> UEFI boot stub automatically collects three types of auxiliary
|
|
companion files optionally placed in drop-in directories on the same partition as the EFI binary,
|
|
dynamically generates <command>cpio</command> initrd archives from them, and passes them to the kernel.
|
|
Specifically:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>For a kernel binary called <filename><replaceable>foo</replaceable>.efi</filename>, it
|
|
will look for files with the <filename>.cred</filename> suffix in a directory named
|
|
<filename><replaceable>foo</replaceable>.efi.extra.d/</filename> next to it. If the kernel binary
|
|
uses a counter for the purpose of
|
|
<ulink url="https://systemd.io/AUTOMATIC_BOOT_ASSESSMENT">Automatic Boot Assessment</ulink>, this
|
|
counter will be ignored. For example, <filename><replaceable>foo</replaceable>+3-0.efi</filename>
|
|
will look in directory <filename><replaceable>foo</replaceable>.efi.extra.d/</filename>.
|
|
A <command>cpio</command>
|
|
archive is generated from all files found that way, placing them in the
|
|
<filename>/.extra/credentials/</filename> directory of the initrd file hierarchy. The main initrd may
|
|
then access them in this directory. This is supposed to be used to store auxiliary, encrypted,
|
|
authenticated credentials for use with <varname>LoadCredentialEncrypted=</varname> in the UEFI System
|
|
Partition. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

and

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for
|
|
details on encrypted credentials. The generated <command>cpio</command> archive is measured into TPM
|
|
PCR 12 (if a TPM is present).</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>Similarly, files
|
|
<filename><replaceable>foo</replaceable>.efi.extra.d/*.sysext.raw</filename> are packed up in a

<command>cpio</command> archive and placed in the <filename>/.extra/sysext/</filename> directory in the

initrd file hierarchy. This is supposed to be used to pass additional system extension images to the

initrd. See

system extension images is measured into TPM PCR 13 (if a TPM is present).</para></listitem>

<!-- Note: the actual suffix we look for for sysexts is just *.raw (not *.sysext.raw), for

compatibility reasons with old versions. But we want people to name their system extensions

properly, hence we document the *.sysext.raw suffix only. -->
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>Similarly, files
|
|
<filename><replaceable>foo</replaceable>.efi.extra.d/*.confext.raw</filename> are packed up in a

|
<filename><replaceable>foo</replaceable>.efi.extra.d/*.addon.efi</filename> are loaded and verified as

PE binaries, and a <literal>.cmdline</literal> section is parsed from them. Addons are supposed to be
|
|
used to pass additional kernel command line parameters or Devicetree blobs, regardless of the kernel
|
|
image being booted, for example to allow platform vendors to ship platform-specific

|
configuration.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In case Secure Boot is enabled, these files will be validated using keys in UEFI DB, Shim's DB or
|
|
Shim's MOK, and will be rejected otherwise. Additionally, if the both the addon and the UKI contain a a
|
|
<literal>.uname</literal> section, the addon will be rejected if they do not match exactly. It is
|
|
recommended to always add a <literal>.sbat</literal> section to all signed addons, so that they may be
|
|
revoked with a SBAT policy update, without requiring blocklisting via DBX/MOKX. The
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>ukify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> tool will add
|
|
a SBAT policy by default if none is passed when building addons. For more information on SBAT see

|
|
|
|
<para>Addon files are sorted, loaded, and measured into TPM PCR 12 (if a TPM is present) and appended
|
|
to the kernel command line. UKI command line options are listed first, then options from addons in
|
|
<filename>/loader/addons/*.addon.efi</filename>, and finally UKI-specific addons. Device tree blobs are
|
|
loaded and measured following the same algorithm. Addons are always loaded in the same order based on
|
|
the filename, so that, given the same set of addons, the same set of measurements can be expected in
|
|
PCR12. However, note that the filename is not protected by the PE signature, and as such an attacker
|
|
with write access to the ESP could potentially rename these files to change the order in which they are
|
|
loaded, in a way that could alter the functionality of the kernel, as some options might be
|
|
order-dependent. If you sign such addons, you should pay attention to the PCR12 values and make use of
|
|
an attestation service so that improper use of your signed addons can be detected and dealt with using
|
|
one of the aforementioned revocation mechanisms.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>Files <filename>/loader/credentials/*.cred</filename> are packed up in a
|
|
<command>cpio</command> archive and placed in the <filename>/.extra/global_credentials/</filename>
|

directory of the initrd file hierarchy. This is supposed to be used to pass additional credentials to
|
|
the initrd, regardless of the kernel being booted. The generated <command>cpio</command> archive is

<title>TPM PCR Notes</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that when a unified kernel using <command>systemd-stub</command> is invoked the firmware will
|
|
measure it as a whole to TPM PCR 4, covering all embedded resources, such as the stub code itself, the
|
|
core kernel, the embedded initrd and kernel command line (see above for a full list).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Also note that the Linux kernel will measure all initrds it receives into TPM PCR 9. This means
|
|
every type of initrd will be measured two or three times: the initrd embedded in the kernel image will be
|
|
measured to PCR 4, PCR 9 and PCR 11; the initrd synthesized from credentials (and the one synthesized
|
|
from configuration extensions) will be measured to both PCR 9 and PCR 12; the initrd synthesized from
|
|
system extensions will be measured to both PCR 4 and PCR 9. Let's summarize the OS resources and the PCRs
|

they are measured to:</para>
