Copy the code from s390x

Both powerpc and s390x use appended signature format (as opposed to EFI
based patforms using PE format).

I haven't tested this on powerpc, but assuming you have Michal this
looks OK to me.

patforms → platforms

How can this be tested?

So, what is the takeaway for the user? IMA_ARCH_POLICY is preferred?

Use size_t to match the signature of `verify_pkcs7_signature()`?

Thanks for noticing

Apparently KEXEC_SIG_FORCE is x86 only although the use of the option is
arch neutral:

arch/x86/Kconfig:config KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
kernel/kexec_file.c:            if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG_FORCE))
{

Maybe it should be moved?

I used a patched kernel that enables lockdown in secure boot, and then
verified that signed kernel can be loaded by kexec and unsigned not,
with KEXEC_SIG enabled and IMA_KEXEC disabled.

The lockdown support can be enabled on any platform, and although I
can't find it documented anywhere there appears to be code in kexec_file
to take it into account:
kernel/kexec.c: result = security_locked_down(LOCKDOWN_KEXEC);
kernel/kexec_file.c:                security_locked_down(LOCKDOWN_KEXEC))
kernel/module.c:        return security_locked_down(LOCKDOWN_MODULE_SIGNATURE);
kernel/params.c:            security_locked_down(LOCKDOWN_MODULE_PARAMETERS))
and lockdown can be enabled with a buildtime option, a kernel parameter, or a
debugfs file.

Still for testing lifting KEXEC_SIG_FORCE to some arch-neutral Kconfig file is
probably the simplest option.

kexec -s option should be used to select kexec_file rather than the old
style kexec which would either fail always or succeed always regardelss
of signature.

IMA_KEXEC does more than KEXEC_SIG. The overhead is probably not big
unless you are trying to really minimize the kernel code size.

Arguably the simpler implementation hass less potential for bugs, too.
Both in code and in user configuration required to enable the feature.

Interestingly IMA_ARCH_POLICY depends on KEXEC_SIG rather than
IMA_KEXEC. Just mind-boggling.

The main problem with IMA_KEXEC from my point of view is it is not portable.
To record the measurements TPM support is requireed which is not available on
all platforms. It does not support PE so it cannot be used on platforms
that use PE kernel signature format.

Nope. struct module_signature uses unsigned long, and this needs to be
matched to avoid type errors on 32bit.

Technically using size_t for in-memory buffers is misguided because
AFAICT no memory buffer can be bigger than ULONG_MAX, and size_t is
non-native type on 32bit.

Sure, the situation with ssize_t/int is different but that's not what we
are dealing with here.

Thanks

I meant for `sig_len`.

True. In my experience it prevents compiler warnings when building for 
32 bit or 64 bit. Anyway, not that important.

FYI, a soft boot doesn't clear the TPM PCRs.  To be able to verify the
IMA measurement list after a kexec against a TPM quote, requires
carrying the measurement list across kexec.

The "IMA_KEXEC" config enables carrying the IMA measurement list across
kexec.  It has nothing to do with verifying the appended signature. 
That is based on kernel module appended signature code.

Measuring the kexec kernel image and extending the TPM with the
measurement is required for trusted boot.  Boot loaders extend the
TPM's BIOS measurements. Similarly, IMA does not require a TPM, but if
one is available the kexec kernel image measurement is extended into
the IMA measurement list.  Otherwise, IMA goes into "TPM by-pass" mode.

True.  However, a kernel image with an appended signature may be
kexec'ed, regardless of the architecture.  Because some boot loaders
don't support appended signatures, from my point of view does not make
IMA kexec support not portable.

When KEXEC_SIG is enabled on other architectures, IMA does not define a
kexec 'appraise' policy rule.  Refer to the policy rules in
security/ima/ima_efi.c.  Similarly the kexec 'appraise' policy rule in
arch/powerpc/kernel/ima_policy.c should not be defined.

The discussion shouldn't only be about IMA vs. KEXEC_SIG kernel image
signature verification.  Let's try and reframe the problem a bit.

1. Unify and simply the existing kexec signature verification so
verifying the KEXEC kernel image signature works irrespective of
signature type - PE, appended signature.

solution: enable KEXEC_SIG  (This patch set, with the above powerpc IMA
policy changes.)

2. Measure and include the kexec kernel image in a log for attestation,
if desired.

solution: enable IMA_ARCH_POLICY 
- Powerpc: requires trusted boot to be enabled.
- EFI:   requires  secure boot to be enabled.  The IMA efi policy
doesn't differentiate between secure and trusted boot.

3. Carry the kexec kernel image measurement across kexec, if desired
and supported on the architecture.

solution: enable IMA_KEXEC

Comparison: 
- Are there any differences between IMA vs. KEXEC_SIG measuring the
kexec kernel image?

One of the main differences is "what" is included in the measurement
list differs.  In both cases, the 'd-ng' field of the IMA measurement
list template (e.g. ima-ng, ima-sig, ima-modsig) is the full file hash
including the appended signature.  With IMA and the 'ima-modsig'
template, an additional hash without the appended signature is defined,
as well as including the appended signature in the 'sig' field.

Including the file hash and appended signature in the measurement list
allows an attestation server, for example, to verify the appended
signature without having to know the file hash without the signature.

Other differences are already included in the Kconfig KEXEC_SIG "Notes"
section.

This is actually wrong. KEXEC_SIG makes it mandatory that any signature
that is appended is valid and made by a key that is part of the platform
keyiring (which is also wrong, built-in keys should be also accepted).
KEXEC_SIG_FORCE or an IMA policy makes it mandatory that the signature
is present.

I suppose you mean security/integrity/ima/ima_efi.c

I also think it's misguided because KEXEC_SIG in itself does not enforce
the signature. KEXEC_SIG_FORCE does.

I suppose you mean arch/powerpc/kernel/ima_arch.c - see above.

I don't understand this part. Isn't the hash *with* signature always
included, and the distinguishing part about IMA is the hash *without*
signature which is the same irrespective of signature type (PE, appended
xattr) and irrespective of the keyt used for signoing?

Which besides what is already described above would be blacklisting
specific binaries, which is much more effective if you have hashes of
binaries without signature.

Thanks

I'm aware of MODULE_SIG_FORCE, which isn't normally enabled by distros,
but enabling MODULE_SIG allows MODULE_SIG_FORCE to be enabled on the
boot command line.  In the IMA arch policies, if MODULE_SIG is enabled,
it is then enforced, otherwise an IMA "appraise" policy rule is
defined.  This rule would prevent the module_load syscall.

I'm not aware of KEXEC_SIG_FORCE.  If there is such a Kconfig, then I
assume it could work similarly.

Yes

Right, which is why the IMA efi policy calls set_module_sig_enforced().

Sorry, yes.

Roberto Sassu added support for IMA templates.  These are the
definitions of 'ima-sig' and 'ima-modsig'.

{.name = "ima-sig", .fmt = "d-ng|n-ng|sig"},
{.name = "ima-modsig", .fmt = "d-ng|n-ng|sig|d-modsig|modsig"}

d-ng: is the file hash.  With the proposed IMA support for fs-verity
digests, the 'd-ng' field may also include the fsverity digest, based
on policy.

n-ng: is the file pathname.
sig: is the file signature stored as a 'security.ima' xattr (may be
NULL).
d-modsig: is the file hash without the appended signature (may be
NULL).

FYI, changing from "module signature" to "appended signature", might
impact the template field and name.  :)

modsig: is the appended signature (May be NULL).

I really haven't looked at PE signatures, so I can't comment on them.

Thanks, Nayna will be happy to hear you approve.

FYI, IMA calculates the file hash once, which is then added to the IMA
measurement list, extended into the TPM (when available), used to
verify signatures, and included in the audit log.

With the KEXEC_SIG support, assuming the IMA arch policy is enabled,
the file hash would be calculated twice - once for verifying the file
signature and again for the measurement.
