[PATCH 00/10] ima: measure events between kexec load and execute

[PATCH 00/10] ima: measure events between kexec load and execute

[Tushar Sugandhi]

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'.

Some devices can be configured to call kexec 'load' first, and followed
by kexec 'execute' after some time. (as opposed to calling 'load' and
'execute' in one single kexec command).  In such scenario, if new IMA
measurements are added between kexec 'load' and kexec 'execute', the
TPM PCRs are extended with the IMA events between 'load' and 'execute';
but those IMA events are not carried over to the new kernel after kexec
soft reboot.  This results in mismatch between TPM PCR quotes and the
actual IMA measurements list after the device boots into the new kexec
image.  This mismatch results in the remote attestation failing for that
device.

This patch series proposes a solution to solve this problem by allocating
the necessary buffer at kexec 'load' time, and populating the buffer
with the IMA measurements at kexec 'execute' time. 

The solution includes:
 - addition of new functionality to allocate a buffer to hold IMA
   measurements at kexec 'load', 

 - ima functionality to suspend and resume measurements as needed during
   buffer copy at kexec 'execute',

 - ima functionality for mapping the measurement list 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',

 - and removal of deprecated functions.

The modifications 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.

[PATCH 01/10] ima: implement function to allocate buffer at kexec load

[Tushar Sugandhi]

IMA does not provide a mechanism to allocate memory for IMA log storage
during kexec operation.  The function should handle the scenario where
the kexec load is called multiple times. 

Implement a function to allocate buffer of size kexec_segment_size at
kexec load.  If the buffer was already allocated, free that buffer and
reallocate.  Finally, initialize ima_khdr struct. 

The patch operates under the assumption that the segment size does not
change between kexec load and execute.

The IMA measurement list is currently being carried across kexec, so
obviously a buffer is being allocated for it.  IMA not allocating
memory for the measurment list is not the problem statement.  Please
concisely provide the problem statement, explaining why IMA needs to
allocate the buffer.

Currently the buffer is being freed with the kexec 'unload'.  With this
patch IMA is allocating a buffer for the measurement list, which needs
to be freed independently of the kexec 'unload'.

I meant IMA does not provide separate functions to allocate buffer and
populate measurements.  Both operations are wrapped in an atomic
ima_dump_measurement_list().

As I mentioned in the comment in the cover letter, if there is no such
technical limitation to allocate the buffer and copy the measurements at
kexec ‘execute’ – I will make the necessary code changes and update the
above line in the patch description accordingly.

If we end up allocating the buffer at kexec ‘execute’ (which results in
soft boot to next Kernel) – is it technically possible that
kexec ‘unload’ being called after calling kexec ‘execute’?

If not, should I still free the buffer at kexec ‘unload’ in this
scenario?

The "normal" way of making this type of change would be to split the
existing ima_dump_measurement_list() function.  Copying the measurement
list would still be named ima_dump_measurement_list().  The other could
be named ima_alloc_kexec_buf().  Both functions initially would be
called.

Eric, besides updating the buffer at kexec execute, is there anything
else that needs to be done (e.g. updating digests)?

The question is how to access the buffer once kexec_add_buffer() is
called.

I will define ima_alloc_kexec_buf() to allocate memory at kexec 'load'.
And update ima_dump_measurement_list() to only copy the measurements.

Both the functions will be called during kexec 'load'.

And only the updated ima_dump_measurement_list() will be called
during kexec 'execute'.

Please correct me if I misunderstood.

BTW, as discussed elsewhere I am hoping to get clarity on if we can move
everything (memory allocation and copying measurements) to kexec 'execute'.

My current understanding is segment mapping must happen at kexec 'load'.
Hopefully someone on this thread can validate if its true or not.

[PATCH 02/10] ima: implement function to populate buffer at kexec execute

[Tushar Sugandhi]

There is no existing IMA functionality to just populate the buffer at
kexec execute with IMA measurements.

Implement a function to iterate over ima_measurements and populate the
ima_kexec_file buffer.  After the loop, populate ima_khdr with buffer
details (version, buffer size, number of measurements).  Copy the ima_khdr
data into ima_kexec_file.buf and update buffer_size and buffer.

The patch assumes that the ima_kexec_file.size is sufficient to hold all
the measurements.  It returns an error and does not handle scenarios where
additional space might be needed.

The same function that copies the measurement list at kexec 'load',
could be re-used at kexec 'exec'.   Why is a new function that is very
similar to the existing ima_dump_measurement_list() needed?

The current implementation of ima_dump_measurement_list() does both -
(1) allocation of buffer and (2) copying the measurements at kexec ‘load’.

The goal is to copy the measurements at kexec ‘execute’.

As I mentioned earlier, my understanding is the buffer must be allocated
at kexec ‘load’ time.  And the segment size cannot change between kexec
‘load’ and kexec ‘execute’.

That’s why I believe the two new functions are needed.
So I split the functionality in ima_dump_measurement_list() into
two functions –
  (1) ima_allocate_buf_at_kexec_load() in patch 01/10 and
  (2) ima_populate_buf_at_kexec_execute()  in patch 02/10

and then deprecated ima_dump_measurement_list() in patch 7/10.

If I call ima_dump_measurement_list() both at kexec ‘load’
as well as kexec ‘execute’, it will result in double memory allocation.

As you said, if the functionality can be achieved by simply moving
ima_dump_measurement_list() from kexec ‘load’ to kexec ‘execute’ –
then you are right, we don’t need the two separate functions.

[PATCH 03/10] ima: allocate buffer at kexec load to hold ima measurements

[Tushar Sugandhi]

The IMA subsystem needs a dedicated mechanism to reserve extra memory for
measurements added between the kexec 'load' and kexec 'execute'.

Update ima_add_kexec_buffer to allocate a buffer of a sufficient size
taking ima binary runtime measurements size, size of ima_kexec_hdr, and
IMA_KEXEC_EXTRA_SIZE into account.  Adjust the kexec_segment_size to align
to the PAGE_SIZE.  Call ima_allocate_buf_at_kexec_load() to allocate the
buffer.

This patch assumes the extra space defined (IMA_KEXEC_EXTRA_SIZE) is
sufficient to handle the additional measurements.  This should be as per
the system requirements and based on the number of additional measurements
expected during the window from kexec 'load' to kexec 'execute'.

Hi Tushar,

The function to "ima: allocate buffer at kexec load to hold ima
measurements" already exists.  Please update the Subject line to
indicate increasing the IMA kexec buffer size.

What is a "dedicated mechanism?".  Either start the sentence with
"reserve ..." or completely remove it.

The size of the ima_kexec_hdr kind of gets lost in the amount of
additional memory being allocated, but sure it's a nice clean up.

Should the extra amount of memory be hard coded?

Not all IMA policies require extra memory.  Define and use a new IMA

Removing the call to ima_dump_measurement_list here is not bisect safe.

You are right.  As you suggested below, defining the extra amount in
Kconfig is a cleaner approach.

Agreed.  Will take care of this based on if we end up using just
ima_dump_measurement_list(), or combination of
ima_allocate_buf_at_kexec_load() and ima_populate_buf_at_kexec_execute().

You are right.  As you suggested below, defining the extra amount in
Kconfig is a cleaner approach.

This could be the most problematic part if the 'execute' happens much later
than the 'load' with lots of measurement activity in between. I am wondering
whether not doing anything at 'load' time and doing the whole work at 'execute' time
wouldn't be the right thing to do ?

Otherwise, if we wanted the work to be split as you suggest, could you
- krealloc the src_pages (now in kimage_map_segment) to add space for a few more pages needed for the additional measurements
- add those few more pages to src_pages
- vunmap the previous mapping
- vmap the extended src_pages array
- update ima_kexec_file.buf with the diff between the new and old vmap'ed addresses
- append to the existing log

This presumably would help resolve this potential issue.

The src_pages is currently not kfree'd -- may be a memory leak.

Technically I don't want to do anything at kexec 'load' time.
But as I said elsewhere in this series, I am under impression that 
segment allocation
must happen at kexec 'load' time.


But if that understanding is wrong - then we can move the entire logic 
to kexec 'execute' time.

I am currently trying to validate if moving the logic to kexec 'execute' 
works.

Thanks for the detailed thoughts.
I will investigate if this approach is needed, based on my comment above.
If it is needed and feasible, I will incorporate it in the next iteration.

[PATCH 04/10] ima: implement functions to suspend and resume measurements

[Tushar Sugandhi]

The IMA subsystem needs to provide a mechanism to suspend or resume
measurements.  This functionality is needed to temporarily halt the
recording of IMA measurements during certain system operations.

Add functions ima_measurements_suspend() and ima_measurements_resume()
functions to set and reset the suspend_ima_measurements variable,
respectively, to suspend/resume IMA measurements.  Use
ima_extend_list_mutex to ensure that the operations are thread-safe.

Note: Use ima_measurements_suspend() and ima_measurements_resume() in
pairs to avoid indefinitely suspending IMA measurements.

[PATCH 05/10] kexec: implement functions to map and unmap segment to kimage

[Tushar Sugandhi]

Currently, there's no mechanism to map and unmap segments to the kimage
structure.  This functionality is needed when dealing with memory segments
in the context of a kexec operation.

The patch adds two new functions: kimage_map_segment() and
kimage_unmap_segment().

Implement kimage_map_segment() which takes a kimage pointer, an address,
and a size.  Ensures that the entire segment is being mapped by comparing
the given address and size to each segment in the kimage's segment array.
Collect the source pages that correspond to the given address range,
allocate an array of pointers to these pages, and map them to a contiguous
range of virtual addresses.  If the mapping operation is successful, the
function returns the start of this range.  Otherwise, it frees the page
pointer array and returns NULL.

Implement kimage_unmap_segment() that takes a pointer to a segment buffer
and unmaps it using vunmap().

Finally, move for_each_kimage_entry() macro to kexec.h.

Note: Use kimage_map_segment() and kimage_unmap_segment() carefully to
avoid memory leaks and ensure that all mapped segments are properly
unmapped when they're no longer needed.

Since phys_to_page is not defined on many/most architectures I change it for ppc64 and have successfully used the following:

+                               src_pages[i++] = virt_to_page(__va(src_page_addr))


After several kexecs the following check still works:

# evmctl ima_measurement --ignore-violations /sys/kernel/security/ima/binary_runtime_measurements
Matched per TPM bank calculated digest(s).

Since phys_to_page is not defined on many/most architectures I change it for ppc64 and have successfully used the following:

+                               src_pages[i++] = virt_to_page(__va(src_page_addr))


After several kexecs the following check still works:

# evmctl ima_measurement --ignore-violations /sys/kernel/security/ima/binary_runtime_measurements
Matched per TPM bank calculated digest(s).

Thank you so much Stefan for reviewing this series, and catching this
issue.  Are you suggesting I should use virt_to_page on all architectures
unconditionally, or use it only when phys_to_page is not available?

[PATCH 06/10] ima: update buffer at kexec execute with ima measurements

[Tushar Sugandhi]

In the current implementation, the measurement list is not updated in the
buffer during the window between kexec load and execute.  This leads to
measurement loss in the buffer when transitioning from the old to the new
kernel.  This patch provides a way to update the measurement list in the
buffer during a kexec execution.  Suspending the measurements during the
buffer update ensures the buffer doesn't get corrupted, or goes out of
sync with TPM PCRs. Thus it ensures the integrity of measurements is
maintained across kernel transitions during a kexec.

Introduce a new variable ima_kexec_buffer that is used to hold the address
of the IMA kexec buffer.

Implement a function ima_update_kexec_buffer() that is called during
kexec execute, allowing the IMA to update the measurement list with the
events between kexec load and execute.  First check if a kexec is in
progress and if the IMA kexec buffer is initialized.  If these conditions
are met, suspend IMA measurements and check if the new buffer size obtained
from ima_get_binary_runtime_size() is larger than the current buffer size.
If the new buffer size is too large, output an error message, and resume
the measurements.

If the new buffer size fits, populate the new buffer with the current
measurements using ima_populate_buf_at_kexec_execute() and copy it into
ima_kexec_buffer.

Unmap ima_kexec_buffer segment from the image.  Resuming the measurements
is not needed in case of successful measurements since the control is being
passed to the new kernel anyways through kexec execute.  However, the
measurements should be resumed if there are any errors flagged in the
function.

This changes the current behavior of carrying as many measurements
across kexec as possible.  True the measurement list won't verify
against the TPM PCRs, but not copying the measurements leaves the
impression there weren't any previous measurements.

This also explains the reason for allocating an IMA buffer (patch 1/10)
and not writing the measurements directly into the kexec buffer.

If not carrying even a partial measurement list across kexec is
desired, then in addition to the "boot_aggregate" record, define a new
record containing the TPM pcrcounter.  With this information,
attestation servers will at least be able to detect if the measurement
list was truncated.

Sure.  Recording TPM pcrcounter at boot aggregate and
Kexec 'load' should provide the necessary information to the
attestation servers.  We can implement this if needed, based on how
rest of the series evolves.

Recording the TPM pcrcounter should be done independently of this patch
set.  This patch set would have a dependency on it.

Thanks.

I will update this logic depending if we decide to use
ima_dump_measurement_list() at kexec ‘execute’, or combination of
ima_allocate_buf_at_kexec_load() and ima_populate_buf_at_kexec_execute()
at kexec ‘load’ and kexec ‘execute’ respectively.

[PATCH 07/10] ima: remove function ima_dump_measurement_list

[Tushar Sugandhi]

The ima_dump_measurement_list function was designed to iterate over the
IMA measurement list and store each entry into a buffer.  The buffer,
along with its size, would be returned to the caller.  However, the
function is no longer required in the IMA subsystem.  It previously served
to dump the measurement list during the kexec 'load' operation, but this
functionality has been replaced by an alternative approach in this patch
series.

Remove the unused ima_dump_measurement_list function from the IMA
subsystem, to ensure a cleaner and more maintainable code.

Have you compiled the code and tested after applying each patch? 
Removing the caller before removing the code should have resulted in a

Yes, I compiled each patch separately, and I did see this warning.
But removing ima_dump_measurement_list after implementing and
calling the alternate ima_allocate_buf_at_kexec_load() and
ima_populate_buf_at_kexec_execute() felt cleaner in terms of organizing
the patches.

I can remove the definition when I deprecate the usage, if we end up
using the alternate two functions.

[PATCH 08/10] ima: implement and register a reboot notifier function to update kexec buffer

[Tushar Sugandhi]

The IMA subsystem needs to ensure that the measurement list is up to date
during a kexec operation, i.e., when the kernel is rebooted without going
through the full system reboot process. Currently, there is no mechanism
to update the measurement list when the system is soft booted using kexec.

Add a notifier function ima_update_kexec_buffer that is called during a
kexec soft reboot.  Implement ima_kexec_post_load, which maps the IMA
buffer after a kexec load and registers the reboot notifier.

Define a new notifier block update_buffer_nb, with ima_update_kexec_buffer
as its notifier function.  Register the notifier function in
ima_kexec_post_load if it hasn't been already, indicated by the
ima_kexec_update_registered flag.

When a kexec soft reboot is triggered, ima_update_kexec_buffer will be
executed to update the IMA buffer.  This ensures that the events between
kexec 'load' and 'execute' are captured and integrity of measurements
remains intact across kexec reboots.

[PATCH 09/10] ima: suspend measurements while the kexec buffer is being copied

[Tushar Sugandhi]

If the new measurements are added to the list while the kexec buffer is
being copied during kexec execute, the buffer may get corrupted, or it can
go out of sync with TPM PCRs.  This could potentially lead to breaking the
integrity of the measurements after the kexec soft reboot to the new
kernel.

Introduce a check in the ima_add_template_entry function not to measure
events and return from the function early when the suspend_ima_measurements
flag is set.

This ensures the consistency of the IMA measurement list during the copying
of the kexec buffer.  When the suspend_ima_measurements flag is set, any

[PATCH 09/10] ima: suspend measurements while the kexec buffer is being copied

[Tushar Sugandhi]

If the new measurements are added to the list while the kexec buffer is
being copied during kexec execute, the buffer may get corrupted, or it can
go out of sync with TPM PCRs.  This could potentially lead to breaking the
integrity of the measurements after the kexec soft reboot to the new
kernel.

Introduce a check in the ima_add_template_entry function not to measure
events and return from the function early when the suspend_ima_measurements
flag is set.

This ensures the consistency of the IMA measurement list during the copying
of the kexec buffer.  When the suspend_ima_measurements flag is set, any
new measurements will be ignored until the flag is unset.  This allows the
buffer to be safely copied without worrying about concurrent modifications
to the measurement list.  This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of
the measurements during a kexec soft reboot.

[PATCH 10/10] kexec: update kexec_file_load syscall to call ima_kexec_post_load

[Tushar Sugandhi]

The kexec_file_load syscall is used to load a new kernel for kexec.
The syscall needs to update its function to call ima_kexec_post_load, which
was implemented in a previous patch.  ima_kexec_post_load takes care of
mapping the measurement list for the next kernel and registering a reboot
notifier if it's not already registered.

Modify the kexec_file_load syscall to call ima_kexec_post_load after the
image has been loaded and prepared for kexec.  This ensures that the IMA
measurement list will be available to the next kernel after a kexec reboot.
This also ensures the measurements taken in the window between kexec load
and execute are captured and passed to the next kernel. 

Declare the kimage_file_post_load function in the kernel/kexec_internal.h, 
so it can be properly used in the syscall.

I think it should be only done for the reboot case,  please just
exclude the kdump case here..

Thanks for the feedback RuiRui.  Appreciate it.

Conceptually I agree with you that this needs to be done only for reboot.
I need to figure out how to do it implementation wise.

If you can give me pointers/suggestions, that would help.

Hi Tushar,

You can check the flags argument in the function
if (flags & KEXEC_FILE_ON_CRASH) is true then this is a kdump kernel
loading, just skip the kimage_file_post_load in that case?

Re: [PATCH 00/10] ima: measure events between kexec load and execute

[Tushar Sugandhi]

Thanks Dave for taking a look at this.

I will keep Eric looped in on the next versions of this
patch series.

Thanks, Tushar.   Depending on the IMA policy, the above problem
statement is correct, but not all policies are affected by it.  It's
also unclear why so much needs to change.  Instead of copying the
measurement list at kexec 'load',  using the existing method and simply
copying them at kexec 'exec' would suffice.

Also as mentioned in comment on 3/10, the ordering of this patch set is
not bisect safe.  If the same method of copying the measurement list
was used, changing from copying at  kexec 'load'  to kexec 'exec' could
be done in the same patch.

My understanding is the buffer must be allocated at kexec ‘load’ time.
The segment size cannot change between kexec ‘load’ and kexec ‘execute’.
Not sure if this is a technical limitation of IMA, or KEXEC.

Could you/someone from kexec side let me know?

If my current understanding is not correct, then I agree, simply copying
the measurements at kexec ‘execute’ using ima_dump_measurement_list should
suffice.

Ok. Based on my above response, if there is no such technical limitation
to allocate and copy at kexec ‘execute’ – I will simply move the call
to ima_dump_measurement_list from kexec 'load' to 'exec'.
And that can be done inthe same patch as you mentioned.

My understanding is the buffer must be allocated at kexec ‘load’ time.
The segment size cannot change between kexec ‘load’ and kexec ‘execute’.
Not sure if this is a technical limitation of IMA, or KEXEC.

Could you/someone from kexec side let me know?

If my current understanding is not correct, then I agree, simply copying
the measurements at kexec ‘execute’ using ima_dump_measurement_list should
suffice.

Ok. Based on my above response, if there is no such technical limitation
to allocate and copy at kexec ‘execute’ – I will simply move the call
to ima_dump_measurement_list from kexec 'load' to 'exec'.
And that can be done inthe same patch as you mentioned.

Hello all,
For the last few days, I did several experiments to allocate the memory
during kexec 'execute' rather than at the existing kexec 'load'.

My experiments either resulted in Kernel panics, or didn't copy the IMA
log entries added between 'load' and 'execute'.

As per my understanding, and also documented in several comments in
kexec code (e.g. in kexec_file.c [1]), adding buffer after allocating
control pages is not allowed. All segments need to be placed first
before any control pages are allocated.

And control page allocation happens at kexec 'load' [3][4][5].

There are several checks that ensures new buffer segments are not
allocated after control pages are allocated at kexec 'load'.
e.g. kexec_file.c[1][3], kexec_core.c[2].

If we want to allocate buffer at kexec 'execute' to address this issue
of "missing entries in IMA log during kexec load-execute window", we
will have to bypass those checks. That would be a very significant
change in kexec logic. And I do not believe its the right approach.

I believe we have to stick with the current approach of allocating
memory segments at kexec 'load', and copy whatever we can, during
kexe 'execute'.

Thanks,
Tushar
