[PATCH] EFI: Enable booting unified hypervisor/kernel/initrd images
Posted by Trammell Hudson 5 years, 5 months ago
This patch adds support for bundling the xen.efi hypervisor, the xen.cfg
configuration file, the Linux kernel and initrd, as well as the XSM, and
CPU microcode into a single "unified" EFI executable.  The resulting EFI
executable can be invoked directly from the UEFI Boot Manager, removing
the need to use a separate loader like grub as well as removing
dependencies on local filesystem access.

It is inspired by systemd-boot's unified kernel technique and borrows the
function to locate PE sections from systemd's LGPL'ed code.  During EFI
boot, Xen looks at its own loaded image to locate the PE sections for
the configuration, kernel, etc, which are included after building xen.efi
using objcopy to add named sections for each input file.  This allows an
administrator to update the components independently without requiring
rebuilding xen.

The unified image can also be signed by sbsigntool for verification
by UEFI Secure Boot.  If secure boot is enabled, the Xen command line
arguments are ignored.  Unlike the shim based verification, the signature
covers the entire Xen+config+kernel+initrd unified file. This also ensures
that properly configured platforms will measure the entire runtime into
the TPM for unsealing secrets or remote attestation.

I realize this patch is now stale, and hence there's little point
looking over it. As indicated elsewhere I don't think the gitlab
model is suitable here, so may I ask that you post an up-to-date
patch to the list again?

Thanks, Jan

For Arm, I would also consider to add the DTB in "unified" EFI 
executable. See efi_arch_cfg_file_early() in xen/arch/arm/efi/efi-boot.h.

I believe you will need to replicate this change in

AFAICT, the code to use the section or fallback to the cfg is nearly the 
same for each binary. I think it would make sense to have an helper tha 
check if a given section exist and look in the cfg.

Excellent point. The DTB is critical as well. I'll add that to
the patch on Xen's gitlab.

x86 has a similar call in efi_arch-cfg_file_early() to load
the CPU microcode from the unified image, if it exists.

You might try this one instead -- it has been based on the
latest staging tree and has had a few rounds of style guide
issues as well as the commit id for the systemd-boot code.

Here is an untested patch for loading DTB from unified image:

Thanks! I will directly try to the v3 of this series.

Shouldn't this be defined(__aarch64__) ?

To be honest I'm not sure and don't have a way to check if
this code works on ARM. Does an Xen EFI build on ARM even
use the PE32+ format?

The code looks generic enough. I will give a try to build it.

So far, we only support EFI and AArch64. This is built using PE32+ format.

Looking at the rest of the UEFI code, we are using CONFIG_ARM. But I 
think, in this particular instance, we want to use CONFIG_ARM_64.

But this gets done by some custom means iirc, not by linking to that
format? (I'm not certain whether this matters here, so I'm sorry for
the noise if it doesn't.)

The header is written manually in .S but the final binary is looking 
like a PE32+:

42sh> file xen/xen 

xen/xen: MS-DOS executable, MZ for MS-DOS

As you asked the question, you must be concerned with this approach. Can 
you outline what could be the issue?

My thinking merely is: If it's not linked "normally", maybe there are
further odd things? I have no specific concern.
