config SECURITY_LOADPIN
bool "Pin load of kernel files (modules, fw, etc) to one filesystem"
depends on SECURITY && BLOCK
help
Any files read through the kernel file reading interface
(kernel modules, firmware, kexec images, security policy)
can be pinned to the first filesystem used for loading. When
enabled, any files that come from other filesystems will be
rejected. This is best used on systems without an initrd that
have a root filesystem backed by a read-only device such as
dm-verity or a CDROM.
config SECURITY_LOADPIN_ENFORCE
bool "Enforce LoadPin at boot"
depends on SECURITY_LOADPIN
help
If selected, LoadPin will enforce pinning at boot. If not
selected, it can be enabled at boot with the kernel parameter
"loadpin.enforce=1".
config SECURITY_LOADPIN_VERITY
bool "Allow reading files from certain other filesystems that use dm-verity"
depends on SECURITY_LOADPIN && DM_VERITY=y && SECURITYFS
help
If selected LoadPin can allow reading files from filesystems
that use dm-verity. LoadPin maintains a list of verity root
digests it considers trusted. A verity backed filesystem is
considered trusted if its root digest is found in the list
of trusted digests.
The list of trusted verity can be populated through an ioctl
on the LoadPin securityfs entry 'dm-verity'. The ioctl
expects a file descriptor of a file with verity digests as
parameter. The file must be located on the pinned root and
start with the line:
# LOADPIN_TRUSTED_VERITY_ROOT_DIGESTS
This is followed by the verity digests, with one digest per
line.
