If no root= switch is specified on the kernel command line we'll use the
root disk on which the partition the LoaderDevicePartUUID efi var is
located – as long as that partition is an ESP. Let's slightly liberalize
that and also allow it if that partition is an XBOOTLDR partition. This
ensures that UKIs spawned directly from XBOOTLDR work the same as those
from the ESP.
(Note that this makes no difference if sd-boot is in the mix, as in that
case LoaderDevicePartUUID is always set to the ESP, as that's where
sd-boot is located, and sd-boot will set the var first, sd-stub will
only set it later if it#s not set yet.)
The compiler should recognize that these are constant expressions, but
let's better make this explicit, so that the linker can safely share the
initializations all over the place.
Now that the random seed is used on virtualized systems, there's no
point in having a random-seed-mode toggle switch. Let's just always
require it now, with the existing logic already being there to allow not
having it if EFI itself has an RNG. In other words, the logic for this
can now be automatic.
Make sure that the sym_xyz function pointers have the types that the
functions we'll assign them have.
And of course, this found a number of incompatibilities right-away, in
particular in the bpf hookup.
(Doing this will trigger deprecation warnings from libbpf. I simply
turned them off locally now, since we are well aware of what we are
doing in that regard.)
There's one return type fix (bool → int), that actually matters I think,
as it might have created an incompatibility on some archs.
Removing the virtualization check might not be the worst thing in the
world, and would potentially get many, many more systems properly seeded
rather than not seeded. There are a few reasons to consider this:
- In most QEMU setups and most guides on how to setup QEMU, a separate
pflash file is used for nvram variables, and this generally isn't
copied around.
- We're now hashing in a timestamp, which should provide some level of
differentiation, given that EFI_TIME has a nanoseconds field.
- The kernel itself will additionally hash in: a high resolution time
stamp, a cycle counter, RDRAND output, the VMGENID uniquely
identifying the virtual machine, any other seeds from the hypervisor
(like from FDT or setup_data).
- During early boot, the RNG is reseeded quite frequently to account for
the importance of early differentiation.
So maybe the mitigating factors make the actual feared problem
significantly less likely and therefore the pros of having file-based
seeding might outweigh the cons of weird misconfigured setups having a
hypothetical problem on first boot.
For some firmware, replacing their own security arch instance with our
override using ReinstallProtocolInterface() is not enough as they will
not use it. This commit goes back to how this was done before by
directly modifying the security protocols.
Fixes: #25336
If the device path to text protocol is not available (looking angrily at
Apple) we would fail to boot because we cannot get the loaded image
path. As this is only used for cosmetic purposes, we can just silently
continue.
Fixes: #25363
Follow-up for #25368.
Let's consider ENOENT an expected error, and just debug log about it
(though, let's suffix it with `, ignoring.`). All other errors will log
loudly, as they are unexpected errors.
ussually if you specify a DNS server on some interface then we'll use
that interface to talk to it. Let's override this for localhost
addresses, as they only really make sense on "lo".
Fixes: #25397
We only allow a selected subset of syscalls from nspawn containers
and don't list any time64 variants (needed for 32-bit arches when
built using TIME_BITS=64, which is relatively new).
We allow sched_rr_get_interval which cpython's test suite makes
use of, but we don't allow sched_rr_get_interval_time64.
The test failures when run in an arm32 nspawn container on an arm64 host
were as follows:
```
======================================================================
ERROR: test_sched_rr_get_interval (test.test_posix.PosixTester.test_sched_rr_get_interval)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-3.11.0_p1/work/Python-3.11.0/Lib/test/test_posix.py", line 1180, in test_sched_rr_get_interval
interval = posix.sched_rr_get_interval(0)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted
```
Then strace showed:
```
sched_rr_get_interval_time64(0, 0xffbbd4a0) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
```
This appears to be the only time64 syscall that isn't already included one of
the sets listed in nspawn-seccomp.c that has a non-time64 variant. Checked
over each of the time64 syscalls known to systemd and verified that none
of the others had a non-time64-variant whitelisted in nspawn other than
sched_rr_get_interval.
Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/880131
The existing logic can't find the root device in scenarios where
the root has been replaced with an overlay. We support looking
at "/run/systemd/volatile-root" to find the original root, similar
to what systemd-repart and gpt-auto-generator do.
