Through out this document +terminology from the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) and National Institue for +Science and Technology (NIST) is used to ensure a vendor nutrual language is +used to describe and reference security-related concepts. + +System Launch +============= + +There is a tendency to only consider the classical power-on boot as the only +means to launch an Operating System (OS) on a computer system, but in fact most +modern processors support two methods to launch the system. To provide clarity a +common definition of a system launch should be established. This definition is +that a during a single power life cycle of a system, a System Launch consists +of an initialization event, typically in hardware, that is followed by an +executing software payload that takes the system from the initialized state to +a running state. Driven by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) architecture, +modern processors are able to support two methods to launch a system, these two +types of system launch are known as Static Launch and Dynamic Launch. + +Static Launch +------------- + +Static launch is the system launch associated with the power cycle of the CPU. +Thus static launch refers to the classical power-on boot where the +initialization event is the release of the CPU from reset and the system +firmware is the software payload that brings the system up to a running state. +Since static launch is the system launch associated with the beginning of the +power lifecycle of a system, it is therefore a fixed, one-time system launch. +It is because of this that static launch is referred to and thought of as being +"static". + +Dynamic Launch +-------------- + +Modern CPUs architectures provides a mechanism to re-initialize the system to a +"known good" state without requiring a power event. This re-initialization +event is the event for a dynamic launch and is referred to as the Dynamic +Launch Event (DLE). The DLE functions by accepting a software payload, referred +to as the Dynamic Configuration Environment (DCE), that execution is handed to +after the DLE is invoked. The DCE is responsible for bringing the system back +to a running state. Since the dynamic launch is not tied to a power event like +the static launch, this enables a dynamic launch to be initiated at any time +and multiple times during a single power life cycle. This dynamism is the +reasoning behind referring to this system launch as being dynamic. + +Because a dynamic launch can be conducted at any time during a single power +life cycle, they are classified into one of two types, an early launch or a +late launch. + +:Early Launch: When a dynamic launch is used as a transition from a static + launch chain to the final Operating System. + +:Late Launch: The usage of a dynamic launch by an executing Operating System to + transition to a “known good” state to perform one or more operations, e.g. to + launch into a new Operating System. + +System Integrity +================ + +A computer system can be considered a collection of mechanisms that work +together to produce a result. The assurance that the mechanisms are functioning +correctly and producing the expected result is the integrity of the system. To +ensure a system's integrity there are a subset of these mechanisms, commonly +referred to as security mechanisms, that are present to help ensure the system +produces the expected result or at least detect the potential of an unexpected +result may have happened. Since the security mechanisms are relied upon to +ensue the integrity of the system, these mechanisms are trusted. Upon +inspection these security mechanisms each have a set of properties and these +properties can be evaluated to determine how susceptible a mechanism might be +to failure. This assessment is referred to as the Strength of Mechanism and for +trusted mechanism enables for the trustworthiness of that mechanism to be +quantified. + +For software systems there are two system states for which the integrity is +critical, when the software is loaded into memory and when the software is +executing on the hardware. Ensuring that the expected software is load into +memory is referred to as load-time integrity while ensuring that the software +executing is the expected software is the runtime integrity of that software. + +Load-time Integrity +------------------- + +It is critical to understand what load-time integrity establishes about a +system and what is assumed, i.e. what is being trusted. Load-time integrity is +when a trusted entity, i.e. an entity with an assumed integrity, takes an +action to assess an entity being loaded into memory before it is used. A +variety of mechanisms may be used to conduct the assessment, each with +different properties. A particular property is whether the mechanism creates an +evidence of the assessment. Often either cryptographic signature checking or +hashing are the common assessment operations used. + +A signature checking assessment functions by requiring a representation of the +accepted authorities and uses those representations to assess if the entity has +been signed by an accepted authority. The benefit to this process is that +assessment process includes an adjudication of the assessment. The drawbacks +are that 1) the adjudication is susceptible to tampering by the Trusted +Computing Base (TCB), 2) there is no evidence to assert that an untampered +adjudication was completed, and 3) the system must be an active participant in +the key management infrastructure. + +A cryptographic hashing assessment does not adjudicate the assessment but +instead generates evidence of the assessment to be adjudicated independently. +The benefits to this approach is that the assessment may be simple such that it +is able to be implemented as an immutable mechanism, e.g. in hardware. +Additionally it is possible for the adjudication to be conducted where it +cannot be tampered with by the TCB. The drawback is that a compromised +environment will be allowed to execute until an adjudication can be completed. + +Ultimately load-time integrity provides confidence that the correct entity was +loaded and in the absence of a run-time integrity mechanism assumes, i.e +trusts, that the entity will never become corrupted. + +Runtime Integrity +----------------- + +Runtime integrity in the general sense is when a trusted entity makes an +assessment of an entity at any point in time during the assessed entity's +execution. A more concrete explanation is the taking of an integrity assessment +of an active process executing on the system at any point during the process' +execution. Often the load-time integrity of an operating system's user-space, +i.e. the operating environment, is confused to be the runtime integrity of the +system since it is an integrity assessment of the "runtime" software. The +reality is that actual runtime integrity is a very difficult problem and thus +not very many solutions are public and/or available. One example of a runtime +integrity solution would be John Hopkins Advanced Physics Labratory's (APL) +Linux Kernel Integrity Module (LKIM). + +Trust Chains +============ + +Bulding upon the understanding of security mechanisms to establish load-time +integrity of an entity, it is possible to chain together load-time integrity +assessments to establish the integrity of the whole system. This process is +known as transitive trust and provides the concept of building a chain of +load-time integrity assessments, commonly referred to as a trust chain. These +assessments may be used to adjudicate the load-time integrity of the whole +system. This trust chain is started by a trusted entity that does the first +assessment. This first entity is referred to as the Root of Trust(RoT) with the +entities name being derived from the mechanism used for the assessment, i.e. +RoT for Verification (RTV) and RoT for Measurement (RTM). + +A trust chain is itself a mechanism, specifically a mechanism of mechanisms, +and therefore it too has a Strength of Mechanism. The factors that contribute +to a trust chain's strength are, + + - The strength of the chain's RoT + - The strength of each member of the trust chain + - The length, i.e. the number of members, of the chain + +Therefore to provide the strongest trust chains, they should start with a +strong RoT and should consist of members being of low complexity and minimizing +the number of members participating as is possible. In a more colloquial sense, +a trust chain is only as strong as it weakests link and more links increase +the probability of a weak link. + +Dynamic Launch Components +========================= + +The TCG architecture for dynamic launch is composed of a component series that +are used to setup and then carry out the launch. These components work together +to construct a RTM trust chain that is rooted in the dynamic launch and thus +commonly referred to as the Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM) chain. + +What follows is a brief explanation of each component in execution order. A +subset of these components are what establishes the dynamic launch's trust +chain. + +Dynamic Configuration Environment Preamble +------------------------------------------ + +The Dynamic Configuration Environment (DCE) Preamble is responsible for setting +up the system environment in preparation for a dynamic launch. The DCE Preamble +is not a part of the DRTM trust chain. + +Dynamic Launch Event +-------------------- + +The dynamic launch event is the event, typically a CPU instruction, that triggers +the system's dynamic launch mechanism to begin the launch. The dynamic launch +mechanism is also the RoT for the DRTM trust chain. + +Dynamic Configuration Environment +--------------------------------- + +The dynamic launch mechanism may have resulted in a reset of a portion of the +system. To bring the system back to an adequate state for system software the +dynamic launch will hand over control to the DCE. Prior to handing over this +control, the dynamic launch will measure the DCE. Once the DCE is complete it +will proceed to measure and then execute the Dynamic Launch Measured +Environment (DLME). + +Dynamic Launch Measured Environment +----------------------------------- + +The DLME is the first system kernel to have control of the system but may not +be the last. Depending on the usage and configuration, the DLME may be the +final/target operating system or it may be a boot loader that will load the +final/target operating system. + +Why DRTM +======== + +It is a fact that DRTM increases the load-time integrity of the system by +providing a trust chain that has an immutable hardware RoT, uses a limited +number of small, special purpose code to establish the trust chain that starts +the target operating system. As mentioned in the Trust Chain section, these are +the main three factors in driving up the strength of a trust chain. As can been +seen by the BootHole exploit, which in fact did not effect the integrity of +DRTM solutions, the sophistication of attacks targeting system launch is at an +all time high. There is no reason a system should not employ every integrity +measure hardware makes available. This is the crux of a defense-in-depth +approach to system security. In the past the now closed SMI gap was often +pointed to as invalidating DRTM, which in fact was nothing but a strawman +argument. As has continued to be demonstrated, if/when SMM is corrupted it can +always circumvent all load-time integrity, SRTM and DRTM, because it is a +run-time integrity problem. Regardless, Intel and AMD have both deployed +runtime integrity for SMI and SMM which is tied directly to DRTM such that this +perceived deficiency is now non-existent and the world is moving forward with +an expectation that DRTM must be present. + +Glossary +======== + +.. glossary:: + integrity + Guarding against improper information modification or destruction, and + includes ensuring information non-repudiation and authenticity. + + - NIST CNSSI No. 4009 - https://www.cnss.gov/CNSS/issuances/Instructions.cfm + + mechanism + A process or system that is used to produce a particular result. + + - NIST Special Publication 800-160 (VOLUME 1 ) - https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-160v1.pdf + + risk + A measure of the extent to which an entity is threatened by a potential + circumstance or event, and typically a function of: (i) the adverse impacts + that would arise if the circumstance or event occurs; and (ii) the + likelihood of occurrence. + + - NIST SP 800-30 Rev. 1 - https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/SP/nistspecialpublication800-30r1.pdf + + security mechanism + A device or function designed to provide one or more security services + usually rated in terms of strength of service and assurance of the design. + + - NIST CNSSI No. 4009 - https://www.cnss.gov/CNSS/issuances/Instructions.cfm + + Strength of Mechanism + A scale for measuring the relative strength of a security mechanism + + - NIST CNSSI No. 4009 - https://www.cnss.gov/CNSS/issuances/Instructions.cfm + + transitive trust + Also known as "Inductive Trust", in this process a Root of Trust gives a + trustworthy description of a second group of functions.

The approach taken by tboot was to provide an exokernel that could +handle the launch protocol implemented by Intel's special loader, the SINIT +Authenticated Code Module (ACM [2]_) and remained in memory to manage the SMX +CPU mode that a dynamic launch would put a system. While it is not precluded +from being used for doing a late launch, tboot's primary use case was to be +used as an early launch solution. As a result the TrenchBoot project started +the development of Secure Launch kernel feature to provide a more generalized +approach. The focus of the effort is twofold, the first is to make the Linux +kernel directly aware of the launch protocol used by Intel, AMD/Hygon, Arm, and +potentially OpenPOWER. The second is to make the Linux kernel be able to +initiate a dynamic launch. It is through this approach that the Secure Launch +kernel feature creates a basis for the Linux kernel to be used in a variety of +dynamic launch use cases. + +.. note:: + A quick note on terminology. The larger open source project itself is + called TrenchBoot, which is hosted on GitHub (links below). The kernel + feature enabling the use of the x86 technology is referred to as "Secure + Launch" within the kernel code. + +Goals +===== + +The first use case that the TrenchBoot project focused on was the ability for +the Linux kernel to be started by a dynamic launch, in particular as part of an +early launch sequence. In this case the dynamic launch will be initiated by any +boot loader with associated support added to it, for example the first targeted +boot loader in this case was GRUB2. An integral part of establishing a +measurement-based launch integrity involves measuring everything that is +intended to be executed (kernel image, initrd, etc) and everything that will +configure that kernel to execute (command line, boot params, etc). Then storing +those measurements in a protected manner. Both the Intel and AMD dynamic launch +implementations leverage the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to store those +measurements. The TPM itself has been designed such that a dynamic launch +unlocks a specific set of Platform Configuration Registers (PCR) for holding +measurement taken during the dynamic launch. These are referred to as the DRTM +PCRs, PCRs 17-22. Further details on this process can be found in the +documentation for the GETSEC instruction provided by Intel's TXT and the SKINIT +instruction provided by AMD's AMD-V. The documentation on these technologies +can be readily found online; see the `Resources`_ section below for references. + +.. note:: + Currently only Intel TXT is supported in this first release of the Secure + Launch feature. AMD/Hygon SKINIT and Arm support will be added in a + subsequent release. + +To enable the kernel to be launched by GETSEC a stub, the Secure Launch stub, +must be built into the setup section of the compressed kernel to handle the +specific state that the dynamic launch process leaves the BSP. Also the Secure +Launch stub must measure everything that is going to be used as early as +possible. This stub code and subsequent code must also deal with the specific +state that the dynamic launch leaves the APs as well. + +Design Decisions +================ + +A number of design decisions were made during the development of the Secure +Launch feature. The two primary guiding decisions were: + + - Keeping the Secure Launch code as separate from the rest of the kernel + as possible. + - Modifying the existing boot path of the kernel as little as possible. + +The following illustrate how the implementation followed these design +decisions: + + - All the entry point code necessary to properly configure the system post + launch is found in st_stub.S in the compressed kernel image. This code + validates the state of the system, restores necessary system operating + configurations and properly handles post launch CPU states. + - After the sl_stub.S is complete, it jumps directly to the unmodified + startup_32 kernel entry point. + - A single call is made to a function sl_main() prior to the main kernel + decompression step. This code performs further validation and takes the + needed DRTM measurements. + - After the call to sl_main(), the main kernel is decompressed and boots as + it normally would. + - Final setup for the Secure Launch kernel is done in a separate Secure + Launch module that is loaded via a late initcall. This code is responsible + for extending the measurements taken earlier into the TPM DRTM PCRs and + setting up the securityfs interface to allow access the TPM event log and + public TXT registers. + - On the reboot and kexec paths, calls are made to a function to finalize the + state of the Secure Launch kernel. + +The one place where Secure Launch code is mixed directly in with kernel code is +in the SMP boot code. This is due to the unique state that the dynamic launch +leaves the APs in. On Intel this involves using a method other than the +standard INIT-SIPI sequence. + +A final note is that originally the extending of the PCRs was completed in the +Secure Launch stub when the measurements were taken. An alternative solution +had to be implemented due to the TPM maintainers objecting to the PCR +extensions being done with a minimal interface to the TPM that was an +independent implementation of the mainline kernel driver. Since the mainline +driver relies heavily on kernel interfaces not available in the compressed +kernel, it was not possible to reuse the mainline TPM driver. This resulted in +the decision to move the extension operations to the Secure Launch module in +the mainline kernel where the TPM driver would be available. + +Basic Boot Flow +=============== + +Outlined here is summary of the boot flow for Secure Launch. A more detailed +review of Secure Launch process can be found in the Secure Launch +Specification, a link is located in the `Resources`_ section. + +Pre-launch: *Phase where the environment is prepared and configured to initiate the +secure launch by the boot chain.* + + - The SLRT is initialized and dl_stub is placed in memory. + - Load the kernel, initrd and ACM [2]_ into memory. + - Setup the TXT heap and page tables describing the MLE [1]_ per the + specification. + - If non-UEFI platform, dl_stub is called. + - If UEFI platforms, SLRT registered with UEFI and efi-stub called. + - Upon completion, efi-stub will call EBS followed by dl_stub. + - The dl_stub will prepare the CPU and the TPM for the launch. + - The secure launch is then initiated with the GETSET[SENTER] instruction. + +Post-launch: *Phase where control is passed from the ACM to the MLE and the secure +kernel begins execution.* + + - Entry from the dynamic launch jumps to the SL stub. + - SL stub fixes up the world on the BSP. + - For TXT, SL stub wakes the APs, fixes up their worlds. + - For TXT, APs are left halted waiting for an NMI to wake them. + - SL stub jumps to startup_32. + - SL main does validation of buffers and memory locations. It sets + the boot parameter loadflag value SLAUNCH_FLAG to inform the main + kernel that a Secure Launch was done. + - SL main locates the TPM event log and writes the measurements of + configuration and module information into it. + - Kernel boot proceeds normally from this point. + - During early setup, slaunch_setup() runs to finish some validation + and setup tasks. + - The SMP bring up code is modified to wake the waiting APs. APs vector + to rmpiggy and start up normally from that point. + - SL platform module is registered as a late initcall module. It reads + the TPM event log and extends the measurements taken into the TPM PCRs. + - SL platform module initializes the securityfs interface to allow + access to the TPM event log and TXT public registers. + - Kernel boot finishes booting normally + - SEXIT support to leave SMX mode is present on the kexec path and + the various reboot paths (poweroff, reset, halt). + +PCR Usage +========= + +The TCG DRTM architecture there are three PCRs defined for usage, PCR.Details +(PCR17), PCR.Authorities (PCR18), and PCR.DLME_Authority (PCR19). For a deeper +understanding of Detail and Authorities it is recommended to review the TCG +DRTM architecture. + +To determine PCR usage, Linux Secure Launch follows the TrenchBoot Secure +Launch Specification of using a measurement policy stored in the SLRT. The +policy details what should be measured and the PCR in which to store the +measurement. The measurement policy provides the ability to select the +PCR.DLME_Detail (PCR20) PCR as the location for the DRTM components measured by +the kernel, e.g. external initrd image. This can then be combined with storing +the user authority in the PCR.DLME_Authority PCR to seal/attest to different +variations of platform details/authorities and user details/authorities.
