[PATCH v2 00/11] Measured SEV boot with kernel/initrd/cmdline

["Dov Murik" <dovmurik@linux.ibm.com>]

BZ: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3457

Booting with SEV prevented the loading of kernel, initrd, and kernel
command-line via QEMU fw_cfg interface because they arrive from the VMM
which is untrusted in SEV.

However, in some cases the kernel, initrd, and cmdline are not secret
but should not be modified by the host.  In such a case, we want to
verify inside the trusted VM that the kernel, initrd, and cmdline are
indeed the ones expected by the Guest Owner, and only if that is the
case go on and boot them up (removing the need for grub inside OVMF in
that mode).

This patch series reserves an area in MEMFD (previously the last 1KB of
the launch secret page) which will contain the
hashes of these three blobs (kernel, initrd, cmdline), each under its
own GUID entry.  This tables of hashes is populated by QEMU before
launch, and encrypted as part of the initial VM memory; this makes sure
theses hashes are part of the SEV measurement (which has to be approved
by the Guest Owner for secret injection, for example).  Note that this
requires QEMU support [1].

OVMF parses the table of hashes populated by QEMU (patch 5), and as it
reads the fw_cfg blobs from QEMU, it will verify each one against the
expected hash (kernel and initrd verifiers are introduced in patch 6,
and command-line verifier is introduced in patches 7+8).  This is all
done inside the trusted VM context.  If all the hashes are correct, boot
of the kernel is allowed to continue.

Any attempt by QEMU to modify the kernel, initrd, cmdline (including
dropping one of them), or to modify the OVMF code that verifies those
hashes, will cause the initial SEV measurement to change and therefore
will be detectable by the Guest Owner during launch before secret
injection.

Relevant part of OVMF serial log during boot with AmdSevX86 build and QEMU with
-kernel/-initrd/-append:

  ...

The patch series is organized as follows:

1:     Simple comment fix in adjacent area in the code.
2:     Use GenericQemuLoadImageLib to gain one location for fw_cfg blob
       fetching.
3:     Allow the (previously blocked) usage of -kernel in AmdSevX64.
4-7:   Add BlobVerifierLib with null implementation and use it in the correct
       location in QemuKernelLoaderFsDxe.
8-9:   Reserve memory for hashes table, declare this area in the reset vector.
10-11: Add the secure implementation SevHashesBlobVerifierLib and use it in
       AmdSevX64 builds.

Code is at
https://github.com/confidential-containers-demo/edk2/tree/sev-hashes-v2

v2 changes:
 - Use the last 1KB of the existing SEV launch secret page for hashes table
   (instead of reserving a whole new MEMFD page).
 - Build on top of commit cf203024745f ("OvmfPkg/GenericQemuLoadImageLib: Read
   cmdline from QemuKernelLoaderFs", 2021-06-28) to have a single location in
   which all of kernel/initrd/cmdline are fetched from QEMU.
 - Use static linking of the two BlobVerifierLib implemenatations.
 - Reorganize series.
