commit 155ca952c7ca19aa32ecfb7373a32bbc2e1ec6eb upstream.

On Apple T2 Macs, when Linux attempts to read the db and dbx efi variables
at early boot to load UEFI Secure Boot certificates, a page fault occurs
in Apple firmware code and EFI runtime services are disabled with the
following logs:

[Firmware Bug]: Page fault caused by firmware at PA: 0xffffb1edc0068000

The security of Machine Owner Key (MOK) relies on secure boot. When
secure boot is disabled, EFI firmware will not verify binary code. Then
arbitrary efi binary code can modify MOK when rebooting.

This patch prevents MOK/MOKx be loaded when secure boot be disabled.

During boot the Secure Boot Forbidden Signature Database, dbx,
is loaded into the blacklist keyring.  Systems booted with shim
have an equivalent Forbidden Signature Database called mokx.
Currently mokx is only used by shim and grub, the contents are
ignored by the kernel.

Add the ability to load mokx into the blacklist keyring during boot.

<title>certs: Add EFI_CERT_X509_GUID support for dbx entries</title>

<content type='text'>
This fixes CVE-2020-26541.

The Secure Boot Forbidden Signature Database, dbx, contains a list of now
revoked signatures and keys previously approved to boot with UEFI Secure
Boot enabled.  The dbx is capable of containing any number of
EFI_CERT_X509_SHA256_GUID, EFI_CERT_SHA256_GUID, and EFI_CERT_X509_GUID
entries.

Currently when EFI_CERT_X509_GUID are contained in the dbx, the entries are
skipped.

Add support for EFI_CERT_X509_GUID dbx entries. When a EFI_CERT_X509_GUID
is found, it is added as an asymmetrical key to the .blacklist keyring.
Anytime the .platform keyring is used, the keys in the .blacklist keyring
are referenced, if a matching key is found, the key will be rejected.

[DH: Made the following changes:
 - Added to have a config option to enable the facility.  This allows a
   Kconfig solution to make sure that pkcs7_validate_trust() is
   enabled.[1][2]
 - Moved the functions out from the middle of the blacklist functions.
 - Added kerneldoc comments.]

<title>integrity: Load certs from the EFI MOK config table</title>

<id>726bd8965a5f112d9601f7ce68effa1e46e02bf2</id>
<content type='text'>
Because of system-specific EFI firmware limitations, EFI volatile
variables may not be capable of holding the required contents of
the Machine Owner Key (MOK) certificate store when the certificate
list grows above some size. Therefore, an EFI boot loader may pass
the MOK certs via a EFI configuration table created specifically for
this purpose to avoid this firmware limitation.

An EFI configuration table is a much more primitive mechanism
compared to EFI variables and is well suited for one-way passage
of static information from a pre-OS environment to the kernel.

This patch adds the support to load certs from the MokListRT
entry in the MOK variable configuration table, if it's present.
The pre-existing support to load certs from the MokListRT EFI
variable remains and is used if the EFI MOK configuration table
isn't present or can't be successfully used.

Move the loading of certs from the UEFI MokListRT into a separate
routine to facilitate additional MokList functionality.

There is no visible functional change as a result of this patch.
Although the UEFI dbx certs are now loaded before the MokList certs,
they are loaded onto different key rings. So the order of the keys
on their respective key rings is the same.

Pull EFI updates for v5.7 from Ard Biesheuvel:

This time, the set of changes for the EFI subsystem is much larger than
usual. The main reasons are:

 - Get things cleaned up before EFI support for RISC-V arrives, which will
   increase the size of the validation matrix, and therefore the threshold to
   making drastic changes,

 - After years of defunct maintainership, the GRUB project has finally started
   to consider changes from the distros regarding UEFI boot, some of which are
   highly specific to the way x86 does UEFI secure boot and measured boot,
   based on knowledge of both shim internals and the layout of bootparams and
   the x86 setup header. Having this maintenance burden on other architectures
   (which don't need shim in the first place) is hard to justify, so instead,
   we are introducing a generic Linux/UEFI boot protocol.

Summary of changes:

 - Boot time GDT handling changes (Arvind)

 - Simplify handling of EFI properties table on arm64

 - Generic EFI stub cleanups, to improve command line handling, file I/O,
   memory allocation, etc.

 - Introduce a generic initrd loading method based on calling back into
   the firmware, instead of relying on the x86 EFI handover protocol or
   device tree.

 - Introduce a mixed mode boot method that does not rely on the x86 EFI
   handover protocol either, and could potentially be adopted by other
   architectures (if another one ever surfaces where one execution mode
   is a superset of another)

 - Clean up the contents of struct efi, and move out everything that
   doesn't need to be stored there.

 - Incorporate support for UEFI spec v2.8A changes that permit firmware
   implementations to return EFI_UNSUPPORTED from UEFI runtime services at
   OS runtime, and expose a mask of which ones are supported or unsupported
   via a configuration table.

 - Various documentation updates and minor code cleanups (Heinrich)

 - Partial fix for the lack of by-VA cache maintenance in the decompressor
   on 32-bit ARM. Note that these patches were deliberately put at the
   beginning so they can be used as a stable branch that will be shared with
   a PR containing the complete fix, which I will send to the ARM tree.

Testing the value of the efi.get_variable function pointer is not
the right way to establish whether the platform supports EFI
variables at runtime. Instead, use the newly added granular check
that can test for the presence of each EFI runtime service
individually.

<title>efi: Only print errors about failing to get certs if EFI vars are found</title>

If CONFIG_LOAD_UEFI_KEYS is enabled, the kernel attempts to load the certs
from the db, dbx and MokListRT EFI variables into the appropriate keyrings.

But it just assumes that the variables will be present and prints an error
if the certs can't be loaded, even when is possible that the variables may
not exist. For example the MokListRT variable will only be present if shim
is used.

So only print an error message about failing to get the certs list from an
EFI variable if this is found. Otherwise these printed errors just pollute
the kernel log ring buffer with confusing messages like the following:

[    5.427251] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
[    5.427261] MODSIGN: Couldn't get UEFI db list
[    5.428012] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
[    5.428023] Couldn't get UEFI MokListRT
