[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 00/14] Enable vTPM subsystem on TPM 2.0



This series of patch enable the virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM)
subsystem for Xen on TPM 2.0.

Noted, functionality for a virtual guest operating system (a DomU) is still
TPM 1.2. The main modifcation is on vtpmmgr-stubdom. The challenge is that
TPM 2.0 is not backward compatible with TPM 1.2.

------------------------------
DESIGN OVERVIEW
------------------------------
The architecture of vTPM subsystem on TPM 2.0 is described below:

+------------------+
|    Linux DomU    | ...
|       |  ^       |
|       v  |       |
|   xen-tpmfront   |
+------------------+
        |  ^
        v  |
+------------------+
| mini-os/tpmback  |
|       |  ^       |
|       v  |       |
|  vtpm-stubdom    | ...
|       |  ^       |
|       v  |       |
| mini-os/tpmfront |
+------------------+
        |  ^
        v  |
+------------------+
| mini-os/tpmback  |
|       |  ^       |
|       v  |       |
| vtpmmgr-stubdom  |
|       |  ^       |
|       v  |       |
| mini-os/tpm2_tis |
+------------------+
        |  ^
        v  |
+------------------+
| Hardware TPM 2.0 |
+------------------+
 * Linux DomU: The Linux based guest that wants to use a vTPM. There many be
               more than one of these.

 * xen-tpmfront.ko: Linux kernel virtual TPM frontend driver. This driver
                    provides vTPM access to a para-virtualized Linux based DomU.

 * mini-os/tpmback: Mini-os TPM backend driver. The Linux frontend driver
                    connects to this backend driver to facilitate
                    communications between the Linux DomU and its vTPM. This
                    driver is also used by vtpmmgr-stubdom to communicate with
                    vtpm-stubdom.

 * vtpm-stubdom: A mini-os stub domain that implements a vTPM. There is a
                 one to one mapping between running vtpm-stubdom instances and
                 logical vtpms on the system. The vTPM Platform Configuration
                 Registers (PCRs) are all initialized to zero.

 * mini-os/tpmfront: Mini-os TPM frontend driver. The vTPM mini-os domain
                     vtpm-stubdom uses this driver to communicate with
                     vtpmmgr-stubdom. This driver could also be used separately 
to
                     implement a mini-os domain that wishes to use a vTPM of
                     its own.
 * vtpmmgr-stubdom: A mini-os domain that implements the vTPM manager.
               There is only one vTPM manager and it should be running during
               the entire lifetime of the machine.  This domain regulates
               access to the physical TPM on the system and secures the
               persistent state of each vTPM.

 * mini-os/tpm2_tis: Mini-os TPM version 2.0 TPM Interface Specification (TIS)
                    driver. This driver used by vtpmmgr-stubdom to talk directly
                    to the hardware TPM 2.0. Communication is facilitated by 
mapping
                    hardware memory pages into vtpmmgr-stubdom.

 * Hardware TPM 2.0: The physical TPM 2.0 that is soldered onto the motherboard.

INSTALLATION
------------------------------

Prerequisites:
--------------
You must have an x86 machine with a TPM on the motherboard.  The only extra
software requirement for compiling vTPM is cmake.  You must use libxl to manage
domains with vTPMs; 'xm' is deprecated and does not support vTPMs.

Compiling the Xen tree:
-----------------------

Compile and install the Xen tree as usual; be sure that the vTPM domains are
enabled when you run configure.

Compiling the LINUX dom0 kernel:
--------------------------------

Because the TPM manager uses direct access to the physical TPM, it may interfere
with access to the TPM by dom0.  The simplest solution for this is to prevent
dom0 from accessing the physical TPM by compiling the kernel without a driver or
blacklisting the module.

Compiling the LINUX domU kernel:
--------------------------------

The domU kernel used by domains with vtpms must include the xen-tpmfront.ko
driver. It can be built directly into the kernel or as a module; however, some
features such as IMA require the TPM to be built in to the kernel.


CONFIG_TCG_TPM=y
CONFIG_TCG_XEN=y

------------------------------
VTPM MANAGER SETUP
------------------------------

Manager disk image setup:
-------------------------

The vTPM Manager requires a disk image to store its encrypted data. The image
does not require a filesystem and can live anywhere on the host disk. The image
is not large; the Xen 4.5 vtpmmgr is limited to using the first 2MB of the image
but can support more than 20,000 vTPMs.

 dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/vtpm2/vmgr bs=16M count=1

Manager config file:
--------------------

The vTPM Manager domain (vtpmmgr-stubdom) must be started like any other Xen
virtual machine and requires a config file.  The manager requires a disk image
for storage and permission to access the hardware memory pages for the TPM. The
disk must be presented as "hda", and the TPM memory pages are passed using the
iomem configuration parameter. The TPM TIS uses 5 pages of IO memory (one per
locality) that start at physical address 0xfed40000. By default, the TPM manager
uses locality 0 (so only the page at 0xfed40 is needed).

Add:
..
     extra="tpm2"
..
extra option to launch vtpmmgr-stubdom domain on TPM 2.0, and ignore it on TPM
1.x. for example:

    kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/vtpmmgr-stubdom.gz"
    memory=128
    disk=["file:/home/vtpm2/vmgr,hda,w"]
    name="vtpmmgr"
    iomem=["fed40,5"]
    extra="tpm2"


------------------------------
VTPM AND LINUX PVM SETUP
------------------------------
vTPM disk image setup:
----------------------

The vTPM requires a disk image to store its persistent data (RSA keys, NVRAM,
etc). The image does not require a filesystem. The image does not need to be
large; 2 Mb should be sufficient.

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/vtpm2/vtpm0 bs=2M count=1

vTPM config file:
-----------------

The vTPM domain requires a configuration file like any other domain. The vTPM
requires a disk image for storage and a TPM frontend driver to communicate with
the manager.  You are required to generate a uuid for this vtpm, which is
specified on the "vtpm=" line that describes its connection to the vTPM Manager.
for example:

    kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/vtpm-stubdom.gz"
    memory=8
    disk=["file:/home/vtpm2/vtpm0,hda,w"]
    name="vtpm0"
    vtpm=["backend=vtpmmgr,uuid=914fe389-e2c5-44e6-993f-2189637cf1de"]

If you wish to clear the vTPM data you can either recreate the disk image or
change the uuid.

Linux Guest config file:
------------------------
The Linux guest config file needs to be modified to include the Linux tpmfront
driver. Add the following line:

vtpm=["backend=vtpm0"]

Currently only Linux guests are supported (PV or HVM with PV drivers). My series
of patch for HVM virtual mahcine are still being reviewed and modifcated.

Using the vTPM in the guest:
----------------------------

If xen-tpmfront was compiled as a module, it must be loaded it in the guest.

# modprobe xen-tpmfront

After the Linux domain boots and the xen-tpmfront driver is loaded, you should
see the following on the vtpm console:

Info: VTPM attached to Frontend X/Y

You can quickly test the vTPM by using the sysfs interface:

# cat /sys/devices/vtpm-0/pubek
# cat /sys/devices/vtpm-0/pcrs
If you have trousers and tpm_tools installed on the guest, the tpm_version
command should return the following:

The version command should return the following:
  TPM 1.2 Version Info:
  Chip Version:        1.2.0.7
  Spec Level:          2
  Errata Revision:     1
  TPM Vendor ID:       ETHZ
  TPM Version:         01010000
  Manufacturer Info:   4554485a

You should also see the command being sent to the vtpm console as well as the
vtpm saving its state. You should see the vtpm key being encrypted and stored on
the vtpmmgr console.

You may wish to write a script to start your vtpm and guest together and to
destroy the vtpm when the guest shuts down.

------------------------------
INTEGRATION WITH PV-GRUB
------------------------------

The vTPM currently starts up with all PCRs set to their default values (all
zeros for the lower 16).  This means that any decisions about the
trustworthiness of the created domain must be made based on the environment that
created the vTPM and the domU; for example, a system that only constructs images
using a trusted configuration and guest kernel be able to provide guarantees
about the guests and any measurements done that kernel (such as the IMA TCB
log).  Guests wishing to use a custom kernel in such a secure environment are
often started using the pv-grub bootloader as the kernel, which then can load
the untrusted kernel without needing to parse an untrusted filesystem and kernel
in dom0.  If the pv-grub stub domain succeeds in connecting to a vTPM, it will
extend the hash of the kernel that it boots into PCR #4, and will extend the
command line and initrd into PCR #5 before booting so that a domU booted in this
way can attest to its early boot state.
