Back in 2013 Linus requested a feature to allow end-users to have the
ability "to add their own keys and sign modules they trust". This was
his *second* order outlined here [1]. There have been many attempts
over the years to solve this problem, all have been rejected. Many
of the failed attempts loaded all preboot firmware keys into the kernel,
including the Secure Boot keys. Many distributions carry one of these
rejected attempts [2], [3], [4]. This series tries to solve this problem
with a solution that takes into account all the problems brought up in
the previous attempts.
On UEFI based systems, this series introduces a new Linux kernel keyring
containing the Machine Owner Keys (MOK) called machine. It also defines
a new MOK variable in shim. This variable allows the end-user to decide
if they want to load MOK keys into the machine keyring. Mimi has suggested
that only CA keys contained within the MOK be loaded into the machine
keyring. All other certs will load into the platform keyring instead.
By default, nothing changes; MOK keys are not loaded into the machine
keyring. They are only loaded after the end-user makes the decision
themselves. The end-user would set this through mokutil using a new
--trust-mok option [5]. This would work similar to how the kernel uses
MOK variables to enable/disable signature validation as well as use/ignore
the db. Any kernel operation that uses either the builtin or secondary
trusted keys as a trust source shall also reference the new machine
keyring as a trust source.
Secure Boot keys will never be loaded into the machine keyring. They
will always be loaded into the platform keyring. If an end-user wanted
to load one, they would need to enroll it into the MOK.
Steps required by the end user:
Sign kernel module with user created key:
$ /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)/scripts/sign-file sha512 \
machine_signing_key.priv machine_signing_key.x509 my_module.ko
Import the key into the MOK
$ mokutil --import machine_signing_key.x509
Setup the kernel to load MOK keys into the .machine keyring
$ mokutil --trust-mok
Then reboot, the MokManager will load and ask if you want to trust the
MOK key and enroll the MOK into the MOKList. Afterwards the signed kernel
module will load.
I have included links to both the mokutil [5] and shim [6] changes I
have made to support this new functionality.

Many UEFI Linux distributions boot using shim. The UEFI shim provides
what is called Machine Owner Keys (MOK). Shim uses both the UEFI Secure
Boot DB and MOK keys to validate the next step in the boot chain. The
MOK facility can be used to import user generated keys. These keys can
be used to sign an end-users development kernel build. When Linux
boots, both UEFI Secure Boot DB and MOK keys get loaded in the Linux
.platform keyring.
Define a new Linux keyring called machine. This keyring shall contain just
MOK CA keys and not the remaining keys in the platform keyring. This new
machine keyring will be used in follow on patches. Unlike keys in the
platform keyring, keys contained in the machine keyring will be trusted
within the kernel if the end-user has chosen to do so.

A new Machine Owner Key (MOK) variable called MokListTrustedRT has been
introduced in shim. When this UEFI variable is set, it indicates the
end-user has made the decision themself that they wish to trust MOK keys
within the Linux trust boundary. It is not an error if this variable
does not exist. If it does not exist, the MOK keys should not be trusted
within the kernel.
MOK variables are mirrored from Boot Services to Runtime Services. When
shim sees the new MokTML BS variable, it will create a new variable
(before Exit Boot Services is called) called MokListTrustedRT without
EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE set. Following Exit Boot Services, UEFI
variables can only be set and created with SetVariable if both
EFI_VARIABLE_RUNTIME_ACCESS & EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE are set.
Therefore, this can not be defeated by simply creating a
MokListTrustedRT variable from Linux, the existence of
EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE will cause uefi_check_trust_machine_keys to
return false.

to load one, they would need to enroll it into the MOK.
Steps required by the end user:
Sign kernel module with user created key:
$ /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)/scripts/sign-file sha512 \
machine_signing_key.priv machine_signing_key.x509 my_module.ko
Import the key into the MOK
$ mokutil --import machine_signing_key.x509
Setup the kernel to load MOK keys into the .machine keyring
$ mokutil --trust-mok
Then reboot, the MokManager will load and ask if you want to trust the
MOK key and enroll the MOK into the MOKList. Afterwards the signed kernel
module will load.
machine_signing_key.x509 appears to be a code-signing, self-signed key.
It's not a CA key, but the intent of the patchset is to load only CA
keys to .machine keyring.
Shouldn't there be two steps: one to load the CA key into MOK, and a
second one to load the code-signing key which is signed by this CA ?
Thanks & Regards,

Add a new link restriction. Restrict the addition of keys in a keyring
based on the key to be added being a CA (self-signed).
A self-signed cert can be a root CA cert or a code-signing cert. The way
to differentiate a CA cert is by checking BasicConstraints CA:TRUE and
keyUsage:keyCertSign. Refer to Section Basic Constraints and Key Usage
in the document - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5280.

of the failed attempts loaded all preboot firmware keys into the kernel,

with a solution that takes into account all the problems brought up in
the previous attempts.
On UEFI based systems, this series introduces a new Linux kernel keyring
containing the Machine Owner Keys (MOK) called machine. It also defines
a new MOK variable in shim. This variable allows the end-user to decide
if they want to load MOK keys into the machine keyring. Mimi has suggested
that only CA keys contained within the MOK be loaded into the machine
keyring. All other certs will load into the platform keyring instead.
By default, nothing changes; MOK keys are not loaded into the machine
keyring. They are only loaded after the end-user makes the decision
themselves. The end-user would set this through mokutil using a new
--trust-mok option [5]. This would work similar to how the kernel uses
MOK variables to enable/disable signature validation as well as use/ignore
the db. Any kernel operation that uses either the builtin or secondary
trusted keys as a trust source shall also reference the new machine
keyring as a trust source.

I have included links to both the mokutil [5] and shim [6] changes I

How hard it is to self-compile shim and boot it with QEMU (I
do not know even the GIT location of Shim)?
So, my 2nd Q would be: which order these should be upstreamed?
Linux patch set cannot depend on "yet to be upstreamed" things.
Code changes look good enough to me.
We can carry this support in shim before it's in kernel. Eric's current

This should use efi_mokvar_entry_find("MokListTrustedRT") instead,

I think that would depend on how the end-user wants to do things. If they

would go through the effort of having two keys. This is what I tried to
document in the example above.
If they do want to use multiple keys, nothing in this approach prevents it.
Their CA will be loaded into the machine keyring. Now that the machine
keyring is a new trust source, they could simply load their intermediate
or leaf cert signed by their CA into the secondary trusted keyring. Afterwards
their signed kernel module would load.

to make sure this approach had a path forward. I’ll work on submitting the

I’ll change this in v7, thanks.
We do also need to figure out a path forward for something like Dimitri
Ledkov's MokListX patch[0] from May, though it doesn't necessarily need
to hold up this patch set. It looks like your patches will change the
structure of the keyrings it needs to apply to, but I don't see a reason
it wouldn't be conditional on the same MokListTrustedRT variable. Any
thoughts?

I had a little different approach I was going to send for this problem, but dropped it
after I saw Dimitri’s patch. Yes, we will need to figure out a way to merge the two.
But I don’t see that being too difficult or them being incompatible with one another.

Thank you for providing the example. We've spent quite a bit of time
discussing CA keys stored in the MOK db being the new root(s) of trust.
While other certificates signed by the new root(s) of trust would be
added to the secondary or IMA keyrings.
At this point, the patch descriptions, and probably code, are written
in terms of CA keys stored in the MOK db, which the self signed
certificate restriction does not require. With this design, these self
signed certs may be loaded directly onto the IMA keyring. That's a
problem. To fix the discrepancy between the cover letter, patch
descriptions and code, all that is needed is to verify that the self-
signed cert is in fact a CA.
thanks,
Mimi
