OPAL Secure Variable API
========================
Overview
--------
In order to support host OS secure boot on POWER systems, the platform needs
some form of tamper-resistant persistant storage for authorized public keys.
Furthermore, these keys must be retrieveable by the host kernel, and new
keys must be able to be submitted.
OPAL exposes an abstracted "variable" API, in which these keys can be stored
and retrieved. At a high level, ``opal_secvar_get`` retrieves a specific
variable corresponding to a particular key. ``opal_secvar_get_next`` can be
used to iterate through the keys of the stored variables.
``opal_secvar_enqueue_update`` can be used to submit a new variable for
processing on next boot.
OPAL_SECVAR_GET
===============
::
#define OPAL_SECVAR_GET 176
``OPAL_SECVAR_GET`` call retrieves a data blob associated with the supplied
key.
Parameters
----------
::
char *key
uint64_t key_len
void *data
uint64_t *data_size
``key``
a buffer used to associate with the variable data. May
be any encoding, but must not be all zeroes
``key_len``
size of the key buffer in bytes
``data``
return buffer to store the data blob of the requested variable if
a match was found. May be set to NULL to only query the size into
``data_size``
``data_size``
reference to the size of the ``data`` buffer. OPAL sets this to
the size of the requested variable if found.
Return Values
-------------
``OPAL_SUCCESS``
the requested data blob was copied successfully. ``data`` was NULL,
and the ``data_size`` value was set successfully
``OPAL_PARAMETER``
``key`` is NULL.
``key_len`` is zero.
``data_size`` is NULL.
``OPAL_EMPTY``
no variable with the supplied ``key`` was found
``OPAL_PARTIAL``
the buffer size provided in ``data_size`` was insufficient.
``data_size`` is set to the minimum required size.
``OPAL_UNSUPPORTED``
secure variables are not supported by the platform
``OPAL_RESOURCE``
secure variables are supported, but did not initialize properly
OPAL_SECVAR_GET_NEXT
====================
::
#define OPAL_SECVAR_GET_NEXT 177
``OPAL_SECVAR_GET_NEXT`` returns the key of the next variable in the secure
variable bank in sequence.
Parameters
----------
::
char *key
uint64_t *key_len
uint64_t key_buf_size
``key``
name of the previous variable or empty. The key of the next
variable in sequence will be copied to ``key``. If passed as empty,
returns the first variable in the bank
``key_len``
length in bytes of the key in the ``key`` buffer. OPAL sets
this to the length in bytes of the next variable in sequence
``key_buf_size``
maximum size of the ``key`` buffer. The next key will not be
copied if this value is less than the length of the next key
Return Values
-------------
``OPAL_SUCCESS``
the key and length of the next variable in sequence was copied
successfully
``OPAL_PARAMETER``
``key`` or ``key_length`` is NULL.
``key_size`` is zero.
``key_length`` is impossibly large. No variable with the associated
``key`` was found
``OPAL_EMPTY``
end of list reached
``OPAL_PARTIAL``
the size specified in ``key_size`` is insufficient for the next
variable's key length. ``key_length`` is set to the next variable's
length, but ``key`` is untouched
``OPAL_UNSUPPORTED``
secure variables are not supported by the platform
``OPAL_RESOURCE``
secure variables are supported, but did not initialize properly
OPAL_SECVAR_ENQUEUE_UPDATE
==========================
::
#define OPAL_SECVAR_ENQUEUE_UPDATE 178
``OPAL_SECVAR_ENQUEUE`` call appends the supplied variable data to the
queue for processing on next boot.
Parameters
----------
::
char *key
uint64_t key_len
void *data
uint64_t data_size
``key``
a buffer used to associate with the variable data. May
be any encoding, but must not be all zeroes
``key_len``
size of the key buffer in bytes
``data``
buffer containing the blob of data to enqueue
``data_size``
size of the ``data`` buffer
Return Values
-------------
``OPAL_SUCCESS``
the variable was appended to the update queue bank successfully
``OPAL_PARAMETER``
``key`` or ``data`` was NULL.
``key`` was empty.
``key_len`` or ``data_size`` was zero.
``key_len``, ``data_size`` is larger than the maximum size
``OPAL_NO_MEM``
OPAL was unable to allocate memory for the variable update
``OPAL_HARDWARE``
OPAL was unable to write the update to persistant storage
``OPAL_UNSUPPORTED``
secure variables are not supported by the platform
``OPAL_RESOURCE``
secure variables are supported, but did not initialize properly
