Version 6 restructures the patches submitted in previous versions.
Earlier hp-bioscfg patches were squashed together before creating
the new split.  SureAdmin-attributes was removed completely and 
new functionality was introduced to replace its behavior.  The
new functionality is fully compliant to firmware-attributes 
framework.
 

Version 6
	- Breaks down the changes into 4 patches
	- SureAdmin-attributes was removed

The purpose for this patch is submit HP BIOSCFG driver to be list of
HP Linux kernel drivers.  The driver include a total of 12 files
broken in several patches.

HP BIOS Configuration driver purpose is to provide a driver supporting
the latest sysfs class firmware attributes framework allowing the user
to change BIOS settings and security solutions on HP Inc.’s commercial
notebooks.

Many features of HP Commercial PC’s can be managed using Windows
Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI is an implementation of Web-Based
Enterprise Management (WBEM) that provides a standards-based interface
for changing and monitoring system settings.  HP BISOCFG driver provides
a native Linux solution and the exposed features facilitates the
migration to Linux environments.

The Linux security features to be provided in hp-bioscfg driver enables
managing the BIOS settings and security solutions via sysfs, a virtual
filesystem that can be used by user-mode applications.   The new
documentation cover features such Secure Platform Management, Sure
Admin, and Sure Start.  Each section provides security feature
description and identifies sysfs directories and files exposed by
the driver.

Many HP Commercial PC’s include a feature called Secure Platform
Management (SPM), which replaces older password-based BIOS settings
management with public key cryptography. PC secure product management
begins when a target system is provisioned with cryptographic keys
that are used to ensure the integrity of communications between system
management utilities and the BIOS.

HP Commercial PC’s have several BIOS settings that control its behaviour
and capabilities, many of which are related to security. To prevent
unauthorized changes to these settings, the system can be configured
to use a Sure Admin cryptographic signature-based authorization string
that the BIOS will use to verify authorization to modify the setting.

  To: hdegoede, platform-driver-x86

The purpose for this patch is submit HP BIOSCFG driver to be list of
HP Linux kernel drivers.  The driver include a total of 12 files
broken in several patches.

HP BIOS Configuration driver purpose is to provide a driver supporting
the latest sysfs class firmware attributes framework allowing the user
to change BIOS settings and security solutions on HP Inc.’s commercial
notebooks.

Many features of HP Commercial PC’s can be managed using Windows
Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI is an implementation of Web-Based
Enterprise Management (WBEM) that provides a standards-based interface
for changing and monitoring system settings.  HP BISOCFG driver provides
a native Linux solution and the exposed features facilitates the
migration to Linux environments.

The Linux security features to be provided in hp-bioscfg driver enables
managing the BIOS settings and security solutions via sysfs, a virtual
filesystem that can be used by user-mode applications.   The new
documentation cover features such Secure Platform Management, Sure
Admin, and Sure Start.  Each section provides security feature
description and identifies sysfs directories and files exposed by
the driver.

Many HP Commercial PC’s include a feature called Secure Platform
Management (SPM), which replaces older password-based BIOS settings
management with public key cryptography. PC secure product management
begins when a target system is provisioned with cryptographic keys
that are used to ensure the integrity of communications between system
management utilities and the BIOS.

HP Commercial PC’s have several BIOS settings that control its behaviour
and capabilities, many of which are related to security. To prevent
unauthorized changes to these settings, the system can be configured
to use a Sure Admin cryptographic signature-based authorization string
that the BIOS will use to verify authorization to modify the setting.

  To: hdegoede, platform-driver-x86

The purpose for this patch is submit HP BIOSCFG driver to be list of
HP Linux kernel drivers.  The driver include a total of 12 files
broken in several patches.

HP BIOS Configuration driver purpose is to provide a driver supporting
the latest sysfs class firmware attributes framework allowing the user
to change BIOS settings and security solutions on HP Inc.’s commercial
notebooks.

Many features of HP Commercial PC’s can be managed using Windows
Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI is an implementation of Web-Based
Enterprise Management (WBEM) that provides a standards-based interface
for changing and monitoring system settings.  HP BISOCFG driver provides
a native Linux solution and the exposed features facilitates the
migration to Linux environments.

The Linux security features to be provided in hp-bioscfg driver enables
managing the BIOS settings and security solutions via sysfs, a virtual
filesystem that can be used by user-mode applications.   The new
documentation cover features such Secure Platform Management, Sure
Admin, and Sure Start.  Each section provides security feature
description and identifies sysfs directories and files exposed by
the driver.

Many HP Commercial PC’s include a feature called Secure Platform
Management (SPM), which replaces older password-based BIOS settings
management with public key cryptography. PC secure product management
begins when a target system is provisioned with cryptographic keys
that are used to ensure the integrity of communications between system
management utilities and the BIOS.

HP Commercial PC’s have several BIOS settings that control its behaviour
and capabilities, many of which are related to security. To prevent
unauthorized changes to these settings, the system can be configured
to use a Sure Admin cryptographic signature-based authorization string
that the BIOS will use to verify authorization to modify the setting.

The purpose for this patch is submit HP BIOSCFG driver to be list of
HP Linux kernel drivers.  The driver include a total of 12 files
broken in several patches.

HP BIOS Configuration driver purpose is to provide a driver supporting
the latest sysfs class firmware attributes framework allowing the user
to change BIOS settings and security solutions on HP Inc.’s commercial
notebooks.

Many features of HP Commercial PC’s can be managed using Windows
Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI is an implementation of Web-Based
Enterprise Management (WBEM) that provides a standards-based interface
for changing and monitoring system settings.  HP BISOCFG driver provides
a native Linux solution and the exposed features facilitates the
migration to Linux environments.

The Linux security features to be provided in hp-bioscfg driver enables
managing the BIOS settings and security solutions via sysfs, a virtual
filesystem that can be used by user-mode applications.   The new
documentation cover features such Secure Platform Management, Sure
Admin, and Sure Start.  Each section provides security feature
description and identifies sysfs directories and files exposed by
the driver.

Many HP Commercial PC’s include a feature called Secure Platform
Management (SPM), which replaces older password-based BIOS settings
management with public key cryptography. PC secure product management
begins when a target system is provisioned with cryptographic keys
that are used to ensure the integrity of communications between system
management utilities and the BIOS.

HP Commercial PC’s have several BIOS settings that control its behaviour
and capabilities, many of which are related to security. To prevent
unauthorized changes to these settings, the system can be configured
to use a Sure Admin cryptographic signature-based authorization string
that the BIOS will use to verify authorization to modify the setting.

Hi Jorge,

Hans asked me to do a review of your series, so this is it.

I'll start with patch 4 because it is the one with the docs and build
system changes.
Reviews of the other patches and the code of this patch will follow.

In my opinion the best way forward is to drop some of the non-core
and duplicated functionality.
The reduced scope will make review and rework easier and therefore speed
up the process.

Please also Cc the general kernel mailing list
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org for future revisions.
This will make sure the patchset is picked up and tested by the bots.

Here it says "notebooks", below "PC's". Does it also support
non-notebook machines?

sysfs is based on the idea of "one-value-per-file".
The two properties above violate this idea.
Maybe a different interface is needed.

Are these properties very important for the first version of this
driver? If not I would propose to drop them for now and resubmit them
as separate patches after the main driver has been merged.

The names of the files 'SPM', 'kek' and 'sk' are cryptic.

This also violates 'one-value-per-file'.
Can it be split into different files?
This would also remove the need for the statusbin file.

For the values:

Status: I think symbolic names are better for sysfs:
        not_provisioned, provisioned, etc.
Feature Bit Mask: Use names.
Keys: It would be nicer if these could be shown directly in the files
      that can be used to configure them.

As before, what is really needed and what can be added later?

How does this binary format work?

Does this provide much value?
Or could this error just be logged via pr_warn_ratelimited()?

The kbuild part that defines CONFIG_HP_BIOSCFG is missing, so this is
never built.

drivers/platform/x86/hp/Makefile also needs to reference this Makefile.

After fixing up Kbuild please build the driver with "make W=1" and clean
up all the unused functions/variables.
(This won't catch unused stuff from bioscfg.c, so you have to check
these manually)

Hi Jorge,

As I implemented similar on our platforms I have a couple of suggestions which may or may not be helpful.

I'd remove this paragraph personally - but as a minor note, typo in BISOCFG

isn't this already covered in the 'possible_values' attribute - it's just a string of items? Curious as to when/how this would be used instead of possible_values (but I should probably read the code)
Typo in 'hightest'.

Your implementation might be different on HP's; but on the Lenovo's this was still used along with the regular roles - it's just the authentication changed from password to a signature approach.

Just checking that you really need a whole new role and that it isn't part of the existing role.

I wondered if these could be combined with the signature and certificate fields that I implemented for the Lenovo platforms - and those be moved out of the Lenovo specific section and then made general (and optional)
kek looks like it corresponds to certificate and sk to signature?

This one seemed odd to me too - doesn't the driver return the error to the use on a failed WMI access?

Hi Jorge,

below a few stylistic comments.
These are very general and do not only affect the commented locations
but the whole driver.

That said these are not critical.

First focus on removing dead code and nailing down the userspace API.
Then it depends on your motivation.

As said before I would focus on reducing the driver to the bare minimum
that makes it usable, get it merged / clean it up and then re-add pieces
bit-by-bit.

I'll probably go over all the files again when I am more familiar with
the driver.

There is no need to have the name of the function in the label.

Just "out" would be enough.

Use "sizeof(*data)". It's shorter and more robust.

The parameters are the same for every attribute_show() function.
No need to document them.

Also if you document something use proper kerneldoc format:

As mentioned in my first review mail the SPM attributes don't seem
necessary or at least too complex.
If they are to stay it will need more review, it feels there are some
bugs lurking.

This is weird to read. It looks like a function declaration.
maybe use DEFINE_GET_INSTANCE_ID(string).

Instead of passing around integer ids, that all the callees are using to
look up some global data, it would be nicer to pass a pointer to the
concrete instance struct to work on.

This makes the code simpler and removes reference to global state all
over the place.

Just use "true" or "false" instead of "TRUE" and "FALSE".

You can declare loop variables inside the loop. This saves a bunch of
horizontal space.

Hi Jorge,

some more style changes. Same comments as for PATCH 1 apply.


Another larger remark, for what may be a refactoring in the future:

Currently the driver stores all its state in driver-global static data.
The kobjects are stored without any state.
Inside the kobject attribute operations is some fiddly logic that tries
to figure out the corresponding state with a fiddly mechansims.

The more correct way would be to attach the corresponding state
directly to the kobject.

Let me know if you want to give this a shot and I'll give an example.

Put this with the other includes.
Also <linux/errno.h> would be better.

"buffer" seems to be used like a (u8 **).
Can "buffer_size" ever be negative? Maybe should be an unsigned type.
"integer" could be an s32/u32 to be more explicit.

This depends on endianess. Maybe put in a le32_to_cpu().
Or use get_unaligned_le32(). Then you can also drop the PTR_ALIGN above.

You can use an attribute group to create multiple attributes at once.

This is the same as kobj_sysfs_ops. Delete your custom implementation

The initial release of the driver will be supported for business notebooks.
Although the driver is not targeted for non-notebooks machines, the
driver was tested on non-notebooks in the event a decision is made to
targets them

I will remove that entry.   Sure-admin no longer exist as part of the driver

Both properties report a single string separated by semicolon.  This
is not different from listing all elements in a single string
separated by semicolon.

We want the initial driver to have all predefined properties available
first.   There are plans to add future properties and features which
will be submitted as patches.

SPM - Secure Platform Manager
kek -  Key-Encryption-Key (KEK)
sk - Signature Key (SK)

Those abbreviations were used because they are industry standard and
reduce the  size of the commands.  Any suggestions?

Status is needed when the user enables Secure Platform Manager in BIOS
and  KEK and/or SK are configured.

Yes.  Status bin is used by GUI applications where data is managed

It is specially needed to determine if WMI calls reported an error.
This property is similar to the one provided by both Dell and Lenovo

If it is not intended to support both, maybe the documentation could
consistently use "notebook".

The documentation does not mention semicolons.

The nice thing about descoping functionality is that we don't need to
worry about their details now.
Instead it can be added later without haste as the core functionality
can already be used by the users.

With "properties" do you mean the bios settings?
I agree that all these are good for the initial driver.

But the audit log, detailed error codes, etc... do not seem integral for
the functioning of the driver or for users.

Maybe mention the long names once in the documentation "Description".

But this format is not documented here at all.
So how can we determine if the implementation is correct?

I don't see similar functionality for the other drivers.
Instead they seem to just return the error codes from the attribute
callbacks.

This may be useful but it does not seem *necessary* for the first
version.


Feel free to only submit the patch with the documentation for the next
revision. Then we can nail down the interface and initial functionality
and you don't always have to adapt the code to the changing interface.

It should have been documented.  I will update the docs.

Yes.  All those properties are part of BIOS setting and security

Error codes can be replaced as pr_warn() log when error is not zero.
Audit_log on the hand, it is part of the initial features we need.to
have.

The data reported by status files is gathered by a single WMI called
(statusbin) and then reported by adding multiple headers (ie Feature
Bit Mask:).   Do we still need to split the status lines?  Instead of
making one call, the driver would be making multiple calls to
'statusbin' routine and then report the appropriate item for the file.
  The additional complexity is unnecessary.

The GUI applications could use the split lines but he data is just a
blob of binary data of sizeof  struct
secureplatform_provisioning_data.  The lack of headers on the left
handside ((ie Feature Bit Mask:) will eliminate having to split the
data read and make multiple calls to the driver.

The data gathered by 'statusbin' routine is  struct
secureplatform_provisioning_data.  The validation is done in two ways.
the driver validates the return code from WMI call, and the other is
by inspecting the data reported by 'status' with some additional
headers..

Ok.  last_error can be replaced as pr_warn() log when error value is not zero.

Yes.  I would  like to give it a shot.  I can take a look at the code
and determine when we can implement it.
No promises.

Done.  Possible values provides a list of values in any order.

The behavior with Secure Platform Manager requires having KEK and SK separate.

It was intended for debug purposes and to determine if the failure was
reported because of WMI error.  The WMI error is masked by the driver
and the error reported by WMI is lost.
for instance,   WMI error 6 is reported by driver as  -EINVAL.
This attribute will be removed and replaced by pr_warn().

Instead of having one kobj_type for all properties it would also be
possible to create a new one for each. But I don't think it's worth it.

The driver functionality is the proposed basic functionality.  There
are plans to provide additional support for Sure Recover (Security
component) which is planned to be added in future patches.

get_instance_id part of a group of functions defined in bioscfg.h.
The sample was taken from another driver which declared it in
lowercase.   I will change all functions names declared as a macro to
uppercase and update the names across all files.  The main purpose for
those functions was to avoid duplicating the same functions across all
files.

validate_string_input is part of the defined function
ATTRIBUTE_PROPERTY_STORE in bioscfg.h (line 457).

Changing the values from int to pointer will add unnecessary overhead
since the instance ID is searched only once earlier in the process.

Done!  I will keep that in mind when I review the remaining files.

Is this overhead measurable? If it can't be measured and/or does not
make a difference, code clarity should always trump performance.

On the other hand if you think the current way is clearer just keep it
as is.
