Currently the only way x86 can get an early boot RNG seed is via EFI, which is generally always used now for physical machines, but is very rarely used in VMs, especially VMs that are optimized for starting "instantaneously", such as Firecracker's MicroVM. For tiny fast booting VMs, EFI is not something you generally need or want.
Rather, here we want the ability for the image loader or firmware to pass a single random seed, exactly as device tree platforms do with the "rng-seed" property. Additionally, this is something that bootloaders can append, with their own seed file management, which is something every other major OS ecosystem has that we do not (yet).
This patch adds SETUP_RNG_SEED, similar to the other seven setup_data entries that are parsed at boot. It also takes care to zero out the seed immediately after using, in order to retain forward secrecy. This all takes about 7 trivial lines of code.
Then, on kexec_file_load(), a new fresh seed is generated and passed to the next kernel, just as is done on device tree architectures when using kexec. And, importantly, I've tested that QEMU is able to properly pass SETUP_RNG_SEED as well, making this work for every step of the way. This code too is pretty straight forward.
Together these measures ensure that VMs and nested kexec()'d kernels always receive a proper boot time RNG seed at the earliest possible stage from their parents:
- Host [already has strongly initialized RNG] - QEMU [passes fresh seed in SETUP_RNG_SEED field] - Linux [uses parent's seed and gathers entropy of its own] - kexec [passes this in SETUP_RNG_SEED field] - Linux [uses parent's seed and gathers entropy of its own] - kexec [passes this in SETUP_RNG_SEED field] - Linux [uses parent's seed and gathers entropy of its own] - kexec [passes this in SETUP_RNG_SEED field] - ...
I've verified in several scenarios that this works quite well from a host kernel to QEMU and down inwards, mixing and matching loaders, with every layer providing a seed to the next.
Acked-by: H. Peter Anvin (Intel) <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com> --- Changes v9->v10: - Don't remove IMA_KEXEC ifdef guard. - Rebase on top of x86/urgent for cb8a4beac39b90cd6. Changes v8->v9: - [hpa] Update SETUP_TYPE_MAX and add SETUP_ENUM_MAX. Changes v7->v8: - Rebase against tip. Changes v6->v7: - [amluto] Add comment about zeroing fields - data for forward secrecy, len in case of accidental reset-to-entry-jump bug. Changes v5->v6: - [hpa] Rework commit message to be less confusing and not improperly mention e820. Changes v4->v5: - Populate field when loading bzimages for kexec, just like device tree platforms do. Changes v3->v4: - Zero out data after using, for forward secrecy. Changes v2->v3: - Actually memmap the right area with the random bytes in it. This worked before because of page sizes, but the code wasn't right. Now it's right. Changes v1->v2: - Fix small typo of data_len -> data->len.
