[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/tpm: Create linux,sml-base/size as big endian

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Date: 2023-02-24 03:26:08

There's code in prom_instantiate_sml() to do a "SML handover" (Stored
Measurement Log) from OF to Linux, before Linux shuts down Open
Firmware.

This involves creating a buffer to hold the SML, and creating two device
tree properties to record its base address and size. The kernel then
later reads those properties from the device tree to find the SML.

When the code was initially added in commit 4a727429abec ("PPC64: Add
support for instantiating SML from Open Firmware") the powerpc kernel
was always built big endian, so the properties were created big endian
by default.

However since then little endian support was added to powerpc, and now
the code lacks conversions to big endian when creating the properties.

This means on little endian kernels the device tree properties are
little endian, which is contrary to the device tree spec, and in
contrast to all other device tree properties.

To cope with that a workaround was added in tpm_read_log_of() to skip
the endian conversion if the properties were created via the SML
handover.

A better solution is to encode the properties as big endian as they
should be, and remove the workaround.

Typically changing the encoding of a property like this would present
problems for kexec. However the SML is not propagated across kexec, so
changing the encoding of the properties is a non-issue.

[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/tpm: Reserve SML log when kexec'ing

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Date: 2023-02-24 03:27:00

The TPM code in prom_init.c creates a small buffer of memory to store
the TPM's SML (Stored Measurement Log). It's communicated to Linux via
the linux,sml-base/size device tree properties of the TPM node.

When kexec'ing that buffer can be overwritten, or when kdump'ing it may
not be mapped by the second kernel. The latter can lead to a crash when
booting the second kernel such as:

  tpm_ibmvtpm 71000003: CRQ initialization completed

To fix the crash, add the SML region to the usable memory areas for the
kdump kernel, so that the second kernel will map the region. To avoid
corruption of the region, add the region to the reserved memory areas,
so that the second kernel does not use the memory for something else.

True. Arguably the bug goes back to the introduction of
kexec_file_load() support, although the patch won't backport that far
due to code refactoring. So that would be:

I have not been able to reproduce this particular crash issue with a 6.2 kernel running on P10 PowerVM when NOT applying your patches.

For my tests I have used the following parameter with the 16GB VM: crashkernel=2G-4G:384M,4G-16G:1G,16G-64G:2G,64G-128G:2G,128G-:4G

What I noticed is that the log gets corrupted when the 2 patches are applied:

After fresh boot:
cp /sys/kernel/security/tpm0/binary_bios_measurements ./
ls -l binary_bios_measurements

The contents have changed and these first 4 bytes of it are always the same once it has become this 32 byte file, otherwise they would be zero.

The address and size parameters passed around in this patch seem good, though.

was always built big endian, so the properties were created big endian
by default.

However since then little endian support was added to powerpc, and now
the code lacks conversions to big endian when creating the properties.

This means on little endian kernels the device tree properties are
little endian, which is contrary to the device tree spec, and in
contrast to all other device tree properties.

To cope with that a workaround was added in tpm_read_log_of() to skip
the endian conversion if the properties were created via the SML
handover.

A better solution is to encode the properties as big endian as they
should be, and remove the workaround.

Typically changing the encoding of a property like this would present
problems for kexec. However the SML is not propagated across kexec, so
changing the encoding of the properties is a non-issue.

2/2 does not have a fixes tag.
True. Arguably the bug goes back to the introduction of
kexec_file_load() support, although the patch won't backport that far
due to code refactoring. So that would be:

Fixes: a0458284f062 ("powerpc: Add support code for kexec_file_load()")
Hmm... IMHO, it would still make sense to document this.

The TPM code in prom_init.c creates a small buffer of memory to store
the TPM's SML (Stored Measurement Log). It's communicated to Linux via
the linux,sml-base/size device tree properties of the TPM node.

When kexec'ing that buffer can be overwritten, or when kdump'ing it may
not be mapped by the second kernel. The latter can lead to a crash when
booting the second kernel such as:

I have not been able to reproduce this particular crash issue with a
6.2 kernel running on P10 PowerVM when NOT applying your patches.
The crash only happens for a crashdump kernel, not a regular kexec.

And depending on where the SML is in memory, compared to where the
crashkernel is, the SML might be mapped accidentally in which case there
is no crash.
For my tests I have used the following parameter with the 16GB VM:
crashkernel=2G-4G:384M,4G-16G:1G,16G-64G:2G,64G-128G:2G,128G-:4G
So you should be seeing a 2GB crashkernel reservation at 512MB.
What I noticed is that the log gets corrupted when the 2 patches are applied:

After fresh boot:

kexec -e
That's a normal kexec, not a crash kexec, so it doesn't use the
crashkernel region mentioned above.

That's a device tree header !? O_o

#define OF_DT_HEADER		0xd00dfeed	/* marker */
The contents have changed and these first 4 bytes of it are always the
same once it has become this 32 byte file, otherwise they would be
zero.
I'm not sure what's happening there. We'll need to debug it some more :/
