ima: kexec: measure events between kexec load and execute
Subsystems (7)
v9 cover ima: kexec: measure events between kexec load and execute
The current kernel behavior is IMA measurements snapshot is taken at kexec 'load' and not at kexec 'execute'. IMA log is then carried over to the new kernel after kexec 'execute'.
New events can be measured during/after the IMA log snapshot at kexec 'load' and before the system boots to the new kernel. In this scenario, the TPM PCRs are extended with these events, but they are not carried over to the new kernel after kexec soft reboot since the snapshot is already taken. This results in mismatch between TPM PCR quotes and the actual IMA measurements list after kexec soft reboot, which in turn results in remote attestation failure.
To solve this problem -
- allocate the necessary buffer at kexec 'load' time,
- populate the buffer with the IMA measurements at kexec 'execute' time,
- and measure two new IMA events 'kexec_load' and 'kexec_execute' as critical data to help detect missing events after kexec soft reboot.
The solution details include:
- refactoring the existing code to allocate a buffer to hold IMA measurements at kexec 'load', and dump the measurements at kexec 'execute'
- kexec functionality for mapping the segments from the current kernel to the subsequent one,
- necessary changes to the kexec_file_load syscall, enabling it to call the ima functions,
- registering a reboot notifier which gets called during kexec 'execute',
- introducing a new Kconfig option to configure the extra memory to be allocated for passing IMA log from the current Kernel to the next,
- introducing two new events to be measured by IMA during kexec, to help diagnose if the IMA log was copied fully or partially, from the current Kernel to the next,
- excluding IMA segment while calculating and storing digest in function kexec_calculate_store_digests(), since IMA segment can be modified after the digest is computed during kexec 'load'. This will ensure that the segment is not added to the 'purgatory_sha_regions', and thus not verified by verify_sha256_digest().
The changes proposed in this series ensure the integrity of the IMA measurements is preserved across kexec soft reboots, thus significantly improving the security of the kernel post kexec soft reboots.
There were previous attempts to fix this issue [1], [2], [3]. But they were not merged into the mainline kernel.
We took inspiration from the past work [1] and [2] while working on this patch series.

- Rebased the patch series to mainline 6.14.0-rc3.
- Verified all the patches are bisect-safe by booting into each patch and verifying multiple kexec 'load' operations work, and also verifying kexec soft reboot works, and IMA log gets carried over for each patch.

PATCH v9 1/7 ima: copy only complete measurement records across kexec
Carrying the IMA measurement list across kexec requires allocating a buffer and copying the measurement records. Separate allocating the buffer and copying the measurement records into separate functions in order to allocate the buffer at kexec 'load' and copy the measurements at kexec 'execute'.
This patch includes the following changes:
- Refactor ima_dump_measurement_list() to move the memory allocation to a separate function ima_alloc_kexec_file_buf() which allocates buffer of size 'kexec_segment_size' at kexec 'load'.
- Make the local variable ima_kexec_file in ima_dump_measurement_list() a local static to the file, so that it can be accessed from ima_alloc_kexec_file_buf(). Compare actual memory required to ensure there is enough memory for the entire measurement record.
- Copy only complete measurement records.
- Make necessary changes to the function ima_add_kexec_buffer() to call the above two functions.
- Compared the memory size allocated with memory size of the entire measurement record. Copy only complete measurement records if there is enough memory. If there is not enough memory, it will not copy any IMA measurement records, and this situation will result in a failure of remote attestation.

In discussions with Tushar, I was very clear that as many measurement records as possible should be carried over to the kexec'ed kernel. The main change between v8 and v9 was to make sure the last record copied was a complete record.

Steven, let me clarify my comment on v8. The patch description said,
"Separate allocating the buffer and copying the measurement records into separate functions in order to allocate the buffer at kexec 'load' and copy the measurements at kexec 'execute'."
The intention is fine, but it also did other things:
- only copied a full last measurement
- if there wasn't enough room, it didn't copy any measurement records.
Copying a full last measurement should be a separate, new patch to simplify review. I'm asking you to separate that change from the rest of the patch, so that it can be back ported independently of the rest of the patch set.
When splitting the function "that allocates the buffer and copies the measurement records into separate functions", please make sure it still copies as many measurement records as possible.
thanks,
Mimi

Steven, breaking up code into patches is in order to simplify patch review. This is done by limiting each patch to a single "logical change" [1]. For example, the change below has nothing to do with "separate allocating the buffer and copying the measurement records into separate functions".
/* This is an append-only list, no need to hold the RCU read lock */
list_for_each_entry_rcu(qe, &ima_measurements, later, true) {
- if (file.count < file.size) {
+ entry_size += ima_get_binary_runtime_entry_size(qe->entry);
+ if (entry_size <= segment_size) {
khdr.count++;
- ima_measurements_show(&file, qe);
+ ima_measurements_show(&ima_kexec_file, qe);
} else {
ret = -EINVAL;
+ pr_err("IMA log file is too big for Kexec buf\n");
break;
}
}The original code potentially copied a partial last measurement record, not a complete measurement record. For ease of review, the above change is fine, but it needs to be a separate patch.
Patches:
1. ima: copy only complete measurement records across kexec
2. ima: define and call ima_alloc_kexec_file_buf()
The original code copied as many measurement records as possible. Please do not change it.
thanks,
Mimi

Steven,
The alternative would be to revert using ima_get_binary_runtime_entry_size() and simply use "ima_kexec_file.count < ima_kexec_file.size". Only ima_kexec_file.size would be initialized in ima_alloc_kexec_buf(). The rest would remain in ima_dump_measurement_list(). get_binary_runtime_size() wouldn't need to be made global.
To further simplify the patch review, first define a separate patch to just rename the seq_file "file" to "ima_kexec_file".

PATCH v9 2/7 kexec: define functions to map and unmap segments
In reply to steven chenThe content of memory segments carried over to the new kernel during the kexec systemcall can be changed at kexec 'execute' stage, but the size of the memory segments cannot be changed at kexec 'execute' stage.
To copy IMA measurement logs during the kexec operation, IMA needs to allocate memory at the kexec 'load' stage and map the segments to the kimage structure. The mapped address will then be used to copy IMA measurements during the kexec 'execute' stage.
Currently, the mechanism to map and unmap segments to the kimage structure is not available to subsystems outside of kexec.
Implement kimage_map_segment() to enable IMA to map measurement log list to the kimage structure during kexec 'load' stage. This function takes a kimage pointer, a memory address, and a size, then gathers the
source pages within the specified address range, creates an array of page pointers, and maps these to a contiguous virtual address range. The function returns the start virtual address of this range if successful, or NULL on failure.
Implement kimage_unmap_segment() for unmapping segments using vunmap().

I think the log can be improved. About the found problem and solution part, we possible can describe them like below:
===
Currently, the kernel behaviour of kexec load is the IMA measurements log is fetched from TPM PCRs and stored into buffer and hold. When kexec reboot is triggered, the stored log buffer is carried over to the 2nd kernel. However, the time gap between kexec load and kexec reboot could be very long. Then those new events extended into TPM PCRs during the time window misses the chance to be carried over to 2nd kernel. This results in mismatch between TPM PCR quotes and the actual IMA measurements list after kexec reboot, which in turn results in remote attestation failure.
To solve this problem, the new design is to defer the reading TPM PCRs content out into kexec buffer to kexec reboot phase. While still allocating the necessary buffer at kexec load time because it's not appropriate to allocate memory at kexec reboot moment.
===
It may still need be improved, just for your reference. You can change and add more detail needed and add them into your log.

Implement
kimage_map_segment()to enable IMA to map measurement log list to the kimage structure during kexec 'load' stage. This function takes a kimage pointer, a memory address, and a size, then gathers the
source pages within the specified address range, creates an array of page pointers, and maps these to a contiguous virtual address range. The function returns the start virtual address of this range if successful, or NULL on failure.Implement
kimage_unmap_segment()for unmapping segments usingvunmap().From: Tushar Sugandhi <[email protected]>

PATCH v9 3/7 ima: kexec: skip IMA segment validation after kexec soft reboot
In reply to steven chenThe kexec_calculate_store_digests() function calculates and stores the digest of the segment during the kexec_file_load syscall, where the IMA segment is also allocated.
With this series, the IMA segment will be updated with the measurement log at the kexec execute stage when a soft reboot is initiated. Therefore, the digests should be updated for the IMA segment in the normal case.
The content of memory segments carried over to the new kernel during the kexec systemcall can be changed at kexec 'execute' stage, but the size and the location of the memory segments cannot be changed at kexec 'execute' stage.
However, during the kexec execute stage, if kexec_calculate_store_digests() API is call to update the digest, it does not reuse the same memory segment allocated during the kexec 'load' stage and the new memory segment required cannot be transferred/mapped to the new kernel.
As a result, digest verification will fail in verify_sha256_digest() after a kexec soft reboot into the new kernel. Therefore, the digest calculation/verification of the IMA segment needs to be skipped.
To address this, skip the calculation and storage of the digest for the IMA segment in kexec_calculate_store_digests() so that it is not added to the purgatory_sha_regions.
Since verify_sha256_digest() only verifies 'purgatory_sha_regions', no change is needed in verify_sha256_digest() in this context.
With this change, the IMA segment is not included in the digest calculation, storage, and verification.

PATCH v9 4/7 ima: kexec: define functions to copy IMA log at soft boot
In reply to steven chenThe IMA log is currently copied to the new kernel during kexec 'load' using ima_dump_measurement_list(). However, the log copied at kexec 'load' may result in loss of IMA measurements that only occurred after kexec "load'. Therefore, the log needs to be copied during kexec 'execute'. Setup the needed infrastructure to move the IMA log copy from kexec 'load' to 'execute'.
Define a new IMA hook ima_update_kexec_buffer() as a stub function. It will be used to call ima_dump_measurement_list() during kexec 'execute'.
Implement ima_kexec_post_load() function to be invoked after the new Kernel image has been loaded for kexec. ima_kexec_post_load() maps the IMA buffer to a segment in the newly loaded Kernel. It also registers the reboot notifier_block to trigger ima_update_kexec_buffer() at kexec 'execute'.

PATCH v9 5/7 ima: kexec: move IMA log copy from kexec load to execute
In reply to steven chenima_dump_measurement_list() is called during kexec 'load', which may result in loss of IMA measurements during kexec soft reboot. Due to missed measurements that only occurred after kexec 'load', this function needs to be called during kexec 'execute'.
This patch includes the following changes:
- Implement kimage_file_post_load() function to be invoked after the new kernel image has been loaded for kexec.
- Call kimage_file_post_load() from kexec_file_load() syscall only for kexec soft reboot scenarios and not for KEXEC_FILE_ON_CRASH. It will map the IMA segment, and register reboot notifier for the function ima_update_kexec_buffer() which would copy the IMA log at kexec soft reboot.
- Make kexec_segment_size variable local static to the file so that it becomes accessible both during kexec 'load' and 'execute'.
- Move ima_dump_measurement_list() call from ima_add_kexec_buffer() to ima_update_kexec_buffer().
- Copy the measurement list as much as possible.
- Remove ima_reset_kexec_file() call from ima_add_kexec_buffer(), now that the buffer is being copied at kexec 'execute', and resetting the file at kexec 'load' would corrupt the buffer.

PATCH v9 6/7 ima: make the kexec extra memory configurable
In reply to steven chenThe extra memory allocated for carrying the IMA measurement list across kexec is hard-coded as half a PAGE. Make it configurable.
Define a Kconfig option, IMA_KEXEC_EXTRA_MEMORY_KB, to configure the extra memory (in kb) to be allocated for IMA measurements added during kexec soft reboot. Ensure the default value of the option is set such that extra half a page of memory for additional measurements is allocated for the additional measurements.
Update ima_add_kexec_buffer() function to allocate memory based on the Kconfig option value, rather than the currently hard-coded one.

PATCH v9 7/7 ima: measure kexec load and exec events as critical data
In reply to steven chenThe amount of memory allocated at kexec load, even with the extra memory allocated, might not be large enough for the entire measurement list. The indeterminate interval between kexec 'load' and 'execute' could exacerbate this problem.
Define two new IMA events, 'kexec_load' and 'kexec_execute', to be measured as critical data at kexec 'load' and 'execute' respectively. Report the allocated kexec segment size, IMA binary log size and the runtime measurements count as part of those events.
These events, and the values reported through them, serve as markers in the IMA log to verify the IMA events are captured during kexec soft reboot. The presence of a 'kexec_load' event in between the last two 'boot_aggregate' events in the IMA log implies this is a kexec soft reboot, and not a cold-boot. And the absence of 'kexec_execute' event after kexec soft reboot implies missing events in that window which results in inconsistency with TPM PCR quotes, necessitating a cold boot for a successful remote attestation.
These critical data events are displayed as hex encoded ascii in the ascii_runtime_measurement_list. Verifying the critical data hash requires calculating the hash of the decoded ascii string.
For example, to verify the 'kexec_load' data hash:
sudo cat /sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements | grep kexec_load | cut -d' ' -f 6 | xxd -r -p | sha256sum
To verify the 'kexec_execute' data hash:
sudo cat /sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements | grep kexec_execute | cut -d' ' -f 6 | xxd -r -p | sha256sum

Variables should not be defined inline, but at the beginning of the function. After doing that, scripts/checkpatch.pl complains about the formatting.
