Specify a Linux specific UEFI configuration table that carries some random bits, and use the contents during early boot to seed the kernel's random number generator. This allows much strong random numbers to be generated early on. The entropy is fed to the kernel using add_device_randomness(), which is documented as being appropriate for being called very early. Since UEFI configuration tables may also be consumed by kexec'd kernels, register a reboot notifier that updates the seed in the table. Note that the config table could be generated by the EFI stub or by any other UEFI driver or application (e.g., GRUB), but the random seed table GUID and the associated functionality should be considered an internal kernel interface (unless it is promoted to ABI later on) Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-efi@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161112213237.8804-4-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> |
