[RFC PATCH] arch/x86: efistub: Invoke EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL to seed the UEFI RNG table

[RFC PATCH] arch/x86: efistub: Invoke EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL to seed the UEFI RNG table

[Dominik Brodowski]

Implement the same mechanism for x86 efistub as introduced by commit
568bc4e87033 ("efi/arm*/libstub: Invoke EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL to seed the
UEFI RNG table") for efi/arm*/libstub, and best described here and there
as:

    Invoke the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL protocol in the context of the stub and
    install the Linux-specific RNG seed UEFI config table. This will be
    picked up by the EFI routines in the core kernel to seed the kernel
    entropy pool.

As far as I can see, we do not yet make use of the UEFI RNG on x86 at all,
but only on arm. Note that this works only when Linux is booted as an EFI
stub, and that the EFI-provided randomness is not credited as entropy
unless RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER is set _and_ another patch (on its way
upstream; thanks Ard!) is applied, see
	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190928101428.GA222453@light.dominikbrodowski.net/

Further note that this patch is untested, as the firmware on my old x86
laptop only has UEFI v2.31. If you want to test it, you may wish to apply
	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191005113632.GA74715@light.dominikbrodowski.net/T/#u
first to get a clear indication in dmesg.

If you have a ChaosKey, you may be able to use this driver

http://people.linaro.org/~ard.biesheuvel/ChaosKey/ChaosKeyDxe.efi

to get UEFI to expose the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL. (Use efibootmgr -r to
install it as Driver#### or load it from the UEFI shell using 'load
xxx.efi')

efistub: EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL on Dell Inc. Latitude 7390

[Dominik Brodowski]

Ard, Mario,

in theory, invoking EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL on a Dell Inc. Latitude 7390/09386V,
BIOS 1.9.2 04/03/2019, should work fine as the system provides EFI v2.60.
Using my patch from a few weeks ago[1], efi_random_get_seed() is called from
arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c::efi_main(). In efi_random_get_seed(), the
calls to

	status = efi_call_early(locate_protocol, &rng_proto, NULL,
				(void **)&rng);

and

	status = efi_call_early(allocate_pool, EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA,
				sizeof(*seed) + EFI_RANDOM_SEED_SIZE,
				(void **)&seed);

succeed. However,

	status = rng->get_rng(rng, &rng_algo_raw, EFI_RANDOM_SEED_SIZE,
			      seed->bits);

returns EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER, though I can't see why one of these
parameters is invalid. When trying to use the default rng algorithm (by
modifying the test to "(status != EFI_SUCCESS)"),

		status = rng->get_rng(rng, NULL, EFI_RANDOM_SEED_SIZE,
				      seed->bits);

the call doesn't seem to return.

Any ideas?

Best,
	Dominik

The UEFI spec defines the conditions under which this function may
return EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER as

"""
RNGValue is null or RNGValueLength is zero.

"""

Try running this from the UEFI shell:

Interestingly, this succeeds -- with the default algorithm, SP800-90-CTR-256
and RAW. So I am more confused than before on why the call to ->get_rng()
fails in efi_random_get_seed().

It might be an issue with the size of the output.

The original RDRAND based driver in EDK2 contains an apparent
misconception that, due to the fact that certain SP800-90-CTR-256
DRBGs require 32 bytes of raw entropy as a seed, it is only valid for
the RAW algorithm to be called with an output size of 32.

So in this case, it might be that 32 is treated as a magic number too,
and any other size is rejected by the RAW algorithm.

Not sure why the other one fails, though, but the fact that RAW and
SP800-90-CTR-256 are the only supported algorithms suggests that your
implementation is at least similar to the RDRAND based RngDxe
implementation in EDK2.

I've updated the RngTest-X64.efi binary with a version that invokes
both the RAW and the default algorithm twice with a request for 64
bytes of entropy, like we do in the kernel. It runs fine on my
Thinkpad, can you check whether it works on your Dell system as well?

RngTest-X64.efi seems to run through fine.[*] Additionally, if I modify the
kernel code to request only 32 bytes, it returns EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER as
well. So something else seems to be missing... Just to verify: does
efi_random_get_seed() work on your Thinkpad, if called from efi_main()? Have
you tested that, by chance?[**]

Thanks,
	Dominik


[*] As a sidenote: I say "seems" as the screen is immediately blanked
once the RngTest-X64.efi binary has run through, so I have to capture the
output with a camera. Maybe add a delay of some sort to the RngTest-X86.efi
binary?

I have just tried a v5.4-rc5 kernel built with your patch applied, and
it does not boot at all in EFI mode, without any output whatsoever.

Unfortunately, I don't have the bandwidth currently to dig into this,
but I should be able to help out a bit more next week.

I confirmed with our BIOS team for this platform that the implementation of
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/SecurityPkg/RandomNumberGenerator/RngDxe/RngDxe.c
matches EDK2 implementation as of commit https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/289b714b77008aa4200c0be25c4b4e25df04955a

I had some discussion to one of our BIOS guys and wanted to point a few things out.

Just providing UEFI 2.6 doesn't guarantee an implementation of particular protocols.
the protocols are still "optional" but the spec prescribes how they should behave if
implemented.

You should call RngGetInfo() to find the supported protocols instead of making
assumptions on which algorithms are supported.

On the particular platform you mentioned above, these are the only two algorithms
supported (which you of course also mentioned in a follow up).

o	  EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM_SP800_90_CTR_256_GUID
o	  EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM_RAW

I would agree it's unlikely to have changed in any significant way.
