Commit Message

The capsule signature is now part of our DTB.  This is problematic when a
user is allowed to change/fixup that DTB from U-Boots command line since he
can overwrite the signature as well.
So Instead of adding the key on the DTB, embed it in the u-boot binary it
self as part of it's .rodata.  This assumes that the U-Boot binary we load
is authenticated by a previous boot stage loader.

Just to repeat my question since it looks like I didn't get a response
on the last patch:

Do you mean with the 'fdt' command?

If you mean the FDT fixups, they happen to a different DT, the one
being passed to Linux.

As I mentioned, this means you need to build U-Boot from source and
include the key. I don't think that is a good idea at all. Signing
should be a separate step from building.

In some platforms the key is derived from the relocated DTB, which we
can overwrite. But I'll let Sughosh who figured it out explain the
details.

You need this key (which is an .esl cert) to authenticate the capsule
you are going to apply.  You *sign* the capsules with an external
application (like GenerateCapsule provided by edk2 and we can also
extend uboot's mkeficapsule for that).  So we aren't signing anything
here

On platforms where the dtb is concatenated with the u-boot image, using
CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE, the fdt is also getting relocated to the main memory.
We retrieve the public key from this dtb. By default, the fdtcontroladdr
env variable is getting set to this relocated dtb address -- this address
can also be accessed using the bdinfo command. Thus the public key can be
modified before attempting the capsule update. Which is the reason why
Ilias is moving the public key to the embedded rodata section.

You should be clearer about what problem you are trying to solve. Are
you worried about a script changing the DT? Or just it being writable
in general?

U-Boot itself is relocated also, including the rodata. So are you
using the public key from the original location? What if that is not
accessible after relocation?

There is also the 'fdt addr -c' command to find the control DT. It is
not expected to be written to though. So just protect the memory to
which it is relocated, or relocate it to a place that you can protect.

If the DT is writable it will affect U-Boot's operation, since that is
where all the config is stored. There is no point in pretending that
pulling one thing out of it and protecting it will result in any sort
of improvement. This needs to be done properly.

Being writable in general is my main concern. Doing fixup internally
from U-Boot might be something we'll always need but the ability to
completely change it doesn't play well security.

We are accessing he key from the relocated address.

Can you define 'protect'? The mmu support in U-Boot is kind of limited
from what I can see.  In order to protect anything we'd have to switch
the pages ro R-- or RX-.  Someone please shout if I  am wrong, but I
couldn't find code doing that in U-Boot.

Tbh I thought the relocation was done properly and the .rodata section
was either merged with .text (and was RX-) or R--.
If we fix the relocation properly, the .rodata will be read only,
while the DTB should still be on RW memory.   I understand that you
are using the DTB for some configuration on U-Boot ,but arguably the
public key of the EFI firmware you need to authenticate hardly
classifies as configuration.
Keep in mind that even if we fix the page tables permissions, on a
secure platform the command line should be disabled, since anyone
could load an arbitrary application and modify them.

Then in what way are you protecting it? This is so confusing. Are you
saying that you are protecting the relocated address? If so, protect
the relocated devicetree too!

Yes we brought in CONFIG_CMDLINE for that reason about five years ago :-)

Please just do this properly. Add an API to protect memory, implement
it for your chosen platform and then we will actually fix the problem
you are worried about. Until then, work-arounds and hacks are
pointless and just confuse the issue. Most haste, less speed.

How? DTBs if fixed up and there's a protocol proposal from Heinrich,
which allows fixups from GRUB2.  So how exactly are you going to put
it in r/o memory (which is what .rodata is supposed to achieve).
A big portion of the DTBs we build today are horribly outdated
compared to the current upstream.  Since nowdays there's a spec
describing what can and can't go in a DTB, I'd much rather prefer we
stick to that and make a potential update easier.

Because they are different DTBs, right? Either it can be read-only or
can't be read-only. At first you said it could not be read-only. Now
you are saying it needs to be changed. Where is all this coming from?

> A big portion of the DTBs we build today are horribly outdated

That may be true on some boards but it is not my experience, at least
on ARM. Anyway that is an issue for the board maintainers. I don't
think this has any bearing on the points we are discussing here.

> describing what can and can't go in a DTB, I'd much rather prefer we

There is just so much confusion in all of this and we are going around
in circles. Let me try to state what I think are points of confusion.

1. The U-Boot DT needs to be protected against change for lots of
reasons (drivers misbehaving, etc.). The signature is only one of
them.

2. The U-Boot DT is separate from the one passed to Linux. So
discussion about where U-Boot config should go in the Linux DT is not
germain.

3. U-Boot uses DT for its configuration and that is that. It has done
that for about 7-8 years. U-Boot does not have a user space to provide
policy and configuration . It cannot do what Linux does and run
programs and look up filesystems to figure out how to boot. So
configuration / runtime info go in the DT in U-Boot. I have not seen
any proposal to do it any other way. I hope you can understand how
frustrating to have someone come from the Linux world and say, Oh it's
all wrong...we should put it user space, etc. The alternative to DT is
a mishmash of random places and ideas with no schema and no
discoverability, etc, or a forest of CONFIG options, like it used to
me.

4. The DT is relocated anyway so is not actually read-only just
because you put it in the rodata area.

5. You can make the DT read-only if you want to. You can make any part
of memory read-only. You need to create an API for that if that's what
you want. It would be nice to have a command to look at what is
protected and change it. See for example the 'mtrr' command on x86.

Also I would add that there has always been a DT spec. I think the
latest version is here:
https://github.com/devicetree-org/devicetree-specification/releases/tag/v0.3
So far as I can tell it does not talk about what can and cannot go in a DT

Perhaps the spec you are referring to is a Linux spec. Do you have a
link? So far as I can tell, U-Boot, Zephyr, etc. have had very little
input into that. I know for a fact that no one has asked what I think.
For example, even the u-boot,xxx tags are kept in separate files in
U-Boot because of resistance to putting that in Linux. Zephyr
completely does its own thing with DT. U-Boot very much follows Binux,
BUT it has its own things as well, just as Linux does. I would LOVE to
see that change and if you would like to help with that, or have ideas
on how, please go ahead.

Simon

Not exactly, I said it can be read only, assuming we can switch pages to
RO, as long CONFIG_OF_EMBED is enabled.  What happens if you choose
CONFIG_OF_PRIOR_STAGE or CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE? That means the *prior* stage
boot loader needs to know your public key and inject in the dtb it hands
over?

There's a discussion for DTs and it's evolution. Some are indeed a bit
outdated and I can find details on that.  The point I am trying to make
here is that the closer we keep the DTBs to what linux hosts, the easier 
it's going to be to keep them up to date.

Not always, there's cases were you can use the same DTB. The reason we don't
is due to the diversion we have.  Ideally you should have a single DTB,
which can be embedded into your firmware and you can authenticate it by
just authentication the firmware, but I've abandoned that dream long
ago.

Apologies if it sounded like that. I am not trying to point any fingers or 
judge any code that's been there for a couple of years.
I never said it's all wrong. I can understand some hardware specific config
going into a DT that's been used for a couple of years.  What I don't
understand is how a signature fits that profile.

You mean the signature here right (not the DT).  The point is if we fix the
.rodata section and it ends up on RO memory, then you do get what we want
and it's always available not matter who provides the DTB, or what
expectations you have for fixing it up (hence put it in R/W).

I'll repeat myself but isn't that the case for CONFIG_OF_EMBED only?

I don't think there's a 'linux spec'. The DTS ended up being maintained in
the kernel. I am not gonna argue if this is a good or bad thing, but that
codebase is trying to follow the spec you pasted

I am joining the calls for that exact reason. So we can discuss that there
I guess?

We retrieve the public key from this dtb. By default, the fdtcontroladdr env variable is getting set to this relocated dtb address -- this address can also be accessed using the bdinfo command. Thus the public key can be modified before attempting the capsule update. Which is the reason why Ilias is moving the public key to the embedded rodata section.

Very unfortunately this patch was silently applied to a tree and is
now in mainline, despite this discussion not being resolved.

I will send a revert until this can be resolved.
