[PATCH v9 0/3] add support for rng-seed

[Hsin-Yi Wang]

Introducing a chosen node, rng-seed, which is an entropy that can be
passed to kernel called very early to increase initial device
randomness. This can be used for adding sufficient initial entropy
for stack canary. Especially architectures that lack per-stack canary.

[PATCH v9 1/3] arm64: map FDT as RW for early_init_dt_scan()

[Hsin-Yi Wang]

Currently in arm64, FDT is mapped to RO before it's passed to
early_init_dt_scan(). However, there might be some codes
(eg. commit "fdt: add support for rng-seed") that need to modify FDT
during init. Map FDT to RO after early fixups are done.

[PATCH v9 2/3] fdt: add support for rng-seed

[Hsin-Yi Wang]

Introducing a chosen node, rng-seed, which is an entropy that can be
passed to kernel called very early to increase initial device
randomness. Bootloader should provide this entropy and the value is
read from /chosen/rng-seed in DT.

Obtain of_fdt_crc32 for CRC check after early_init_dt_scan_nodes(),
since early_init_dt_scan_chosen() would modify fdt to erase rng-seed.

Add a new interface add_bootloader_randomness() for rng-seed use case.
Depends on whether the seed is trustworthy, rng seed would be passed to
add_hwgenerator_randomness(). Otherwise it would be passed to
add_device_randomness(). Decision is controlled by kernel config
RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER.

Maybe reword this to something like:

	Some bootloaders can provide entropy to increase the kernel's
	initial device randomness. Say Y here to assume the entropy
	provided by the booloader is trustworthy so it will be added to
	the kernel's entropy pool. Otherwise, say N here so it will be
	regarded as device input that only mixes the entropy pool.

Currently rng-seed read and added in setup_arch() -->
setup_machine_fdt().. -> early_init_dt_scan_chosen(), which is earlier
than parse_early_param() that initializes early_param.

If we want to set it as a boot param, add_bootloader_randomness() can
only be called after parse_early_param(). The seed can't be directly
added to pool after it's read in. We need to store into global
variable and load it later.
If this seems okay then I'll add a patch for this. Thanks

Currently rng-seed read and added in setup_arch() -->
setup_machine_fdt().. -> early_init_dt_scan_chosen(), which is earlier
than parse_early_param() that initializes early_param.

If we want to set it as a boot param, add_bootloader_randomness() can
only be called after parse_early_param(). The seed can't be directly
added to pool after it's read in. We need to store into global
variable and load it later.
If this seems okay then I'll add a patch for this. Thanks

I thought about asking for this, but we really want to do this as
early as possible, so that it can be used by KASLR and other services
that are run super early.  Also, whether or not we can trust the
bootloader is going to be a system-level thing.  This should probably
be defaulted to off, and only enabled by the system integrator if they
are 100%, positively sure, that the entire system is one where we can
trust the source of randomness which the bootloader is using --- or
for that matter, that the bootloader is trustworthy!

Is it really going to be that useful for a random system administrator
to be able to flip this on or off from the command line?  Hopefully
there will be an easy way to configure the firmware or the bootloader
to simply not supply entropy, if for some reason it's not trustworthy.

KASLR entropy is sent via a separate DT entry, since it's needed before
the kernel is even running.

Are there things using the kernel RNG before the stack canary is set up?
I tried to move all of that code as early as possible already.

You have a point about bootloader vs system design. I'm cautiously
convinced we don't need a boot param, but if we CAN put all the entropy
collection in a single place, that'd be nice.

[PATCH v9 3/3] arm64: kexec_file: add rng-seed support

[Hsin-Yi Wang]

Adding "rng-seed" to dtb. It's fine to add this property if original
fdt doesn't contain it. Since original seed will be wiped after
read, so use a default size 128 bytes here.
