SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ + +Measured Boot +===================== + +U-Boot can perform a measured boot, the process of hashing various components +of the boot process, extending the results in the TPM and logging the +component's measurement in memory for the operating system to consume. + +By default, U-Boot will measure the operating system (linux) image, the +initrd image, and the "bootargs" environment variable. By enabling +CONFIG_MEASURE_DEVICETREE, U-Boot will also measure the devicetree image. + +The operating system typically would verify that the hashes found in the +TPM PCRs match the contents of the event log. This can further be checked +against the hash results of previous boots. + +Requirements +--------------------- + +* A hardware TPM 2.0 supported by the U-Boot drivers +* CONFIG_TPM=y +* CONFIG_MEASURED_BOOT=y +* Device-tree configuration of the TPM device to specify the memory area + for event logging. The TPM device node must either contain a phandle to + a reserved memory region or "linux,sml-base" and "linux,sml-size" + indicating the address and size of the memory region. An example can be + found in arch/sandbox/dts/test.dts +* The operating system must also be configured to use the memory regions + specified in the U-Boot device-tree in order to make use of the event + log. |
