The option was introduced with systemd v250 although it went
undocumented. It effectively sits between Default and OneShot, in term
of priority.
It is repeatedly updated as long as loader.conf default is "@saved" and
the OneShot is not set.
v2:
- squash some typos
v3:
- special mention to default @saved + loader.conf reference
- reword update side, to avoid misleading that it's needlessly
overwritten

The variable was introduced with systemd v250 although it went
completely undocumented, even though sd-boot will honour and print it
separately (from the loader.conf one) in the boot help screen.
Document it in the systemd-boot and hint about it in loader.conf manual
pages.

As I noticed a lot of missing information when trying to implement checking
for missing info. I reimplemented the version information script to be more
robust, and here is the result.
Follow up to ec07c3c80b
This tries to add information about when each option was added. It goes
back to version 183.
The version info is included from a separate file to allow generating it,
which would allow more control on the formatting of the final output.
This drops all mentions of gnu-efi and its manual build machinery. A
future commit will bring bootloader builds back. A new bootloader meson
option is now used to control whether to build sd-boot and its userspace
tooling.
Fixes#25780.

Seems OK to me. The full stop is there and has been for at least a few years. And we use <option> for the markup, which is appropriate here.

"one of" would sound strange. "One this and one that" is OK.

"Is honoured by the initrd" is OK, because we often speak about the initrd as a single unit. But in the same paragraph we also used "in the initrd", which makes the other use look sloppy. I changed it to "in the initrd" everywhere in that file.

This is autogenerated from files… We use slightly different markup in different files, and it's just too hard to make it consistent. We gave up on this.

This renames systemd-boot-system-token.service to
systemd-boot-random-seed.service and conditions it less strictly.
Previously, the job of the service was to write a "system token" EFI
variable if it was missing. It called "bootctl --graceful random-seed"
for that. With this change we condition it more liberally: instead of
calling it only when the "system token" EFI variable isn't set, we call
it whenever a boot loader interface compatible boot loader is used. This
means, previously it was invoked on the first boot only: now it is
invoked at every boot.
This doesn#t change the command that is invoked. That's because
previously already the "bootctl --graceful random-seed" did two things:
set the system token if not set yet *and* refresh the random seed in the
ESP. Previousy we put the focus on the former, now we shift the focus to
the latter.
With this simple change we can replace the logic
f913c784ad added, but from a service that
can run much later and doesn't keep the ESP pinned.
Rather than passing seeds up to userspace via EFI variables, pass seeds
directly to the kernel's EFI stub loader, via LINUX_EFI_RANDOM_SEED_TABLE_GUID.
EFI variables can potentially leak and suffer from forward secrecy
issues, and processing these with userspace means that they are
initialized much too late in boot to be useful. In contrast,
LINUX_EFI_RANDOM_SEED_TABLE_GUID uses EFI configuration tables, and so
is hidden from userspace entirely, and is parsed extremely early on by
the kernel, so that every single call to get_random_bytes() by the
kernel is seeded.
In order to do this properly, we use a bit more robust hashing scheme,
and make sure that each input is properly memzeroed out after use. The
scheme is:
key = HASH(LABEL || sizeof(input1) || input1 || ... || sizeof(inputN) || inputN)
new_disk_seed = HASH(key || 0)
seed_for_linux = HASH(key || 1)
The various inputs are:
- LINUX_EFI_RANDOM_SEED_TABLE_GUID from prior bootloaders
- 256 bits of seed from EFI's RNG
- The (immutable) system token, from its EFI variable
- The prior on-disk seed
- The UEFI monotonic counter
- A timestamp
This also adjusts the secure boot semantics, so that the operation is
only aborted if it's not possible to get random bytes from EFI's RNG or
a prior boot stage. With the proper hashing scheme, this should make
boot seeds safe even on secure boot.
There is currently a bug in Linux's EFI stub in which if the EFI stub
manages to generate random bytes on its own using EFI's RNG, it will
ignore what the bootloader passes. That's annoying, but it means that
either way, via systemd-boot or via EFI stub's mechanism, the RNG *does*
get initialized in a good safe way. And this bug is now fixed in the
efi.git tree, and will hopefully be backported to older kernels.
As the kernel recommends, the resultant seeds are 256 bits and are
allocated using pool memory of type EfiACPIReclaimMemory, so that it
gets freed at the right moment in boot.
In many places we spelled out the phrase behind "initrd" in full, but this
isn't terribly useful. In fact, no "RAM disk" is used, so emphasizing this
is just confusing to the reader. Let's just say "initrd" everywhere, people
understand what this refers to, and that it's in fact an initramfs image.
Also, s/i.e./e.g./ where appropriate.
Also, don't say "in RAM", when in fact it's virtual memory, whose pages
may or may not be loaded in page frames in RAM, and we have no control over
this.
Also, add <filename></filename> and other minor cleanups.
Adding Microsoft keys by default is recommended because firmware drivers
might be signed by it.
This also changes the file ending from .esl to .auth as that is used by
sign-efi-sig-list manpage and other sources.
***DANGER*** NOTE ***DANGER***
This feature might result in your device becoming soft-brick as outlined
below, please use this feature carefully.
***DANGER*** NOTE ***DANGER***
If secure-boot-enrollment is set to no, then no action whatsoever is performed,
no matter the files on the ESP.
If secure boot keys are found under $ESP/loader/keys and secure-boot-enrollment
is set to either manual or force then sd-boot will generate enrollment entries
named after the directories they are in. The entries are shown at the very bottom
of the list and can be selected by the user from the menu. If the user selects it,
the user is shown a screen allowing for cancellation before a timeout. The enrollment
proceeds if the action is not cancelled after the timeout.
Additionally, if the secure-boot-enroll option is set to 'force' then the keys
located in the directory named 'auto' are going to be enrolled automatically. The user
is still going to be shown a screen allowing them to cancel the action if they want to,
however the enrollment will proceed automatically after a timeout without
user cancellation.
After keys are enrolled, the system reboots with secure boot enabled therefore, it is
***critical*** to ensure that everything needed for the system to boot is signed
properly (sd-boot itself, kernel, initramfs, PCI option ROMs).
This feature currently only allows loading the most simple set of variables: PK, KEK
and db.
The files need to be prepared with cert-to-efi-sig-list and then signed with
sign-efi-sig-list.
Here is a short example to generate your own keys and the right files for
auto-enrollement.
`
keys="PK KEK DB"
uuid="{$(systemd-id128 new -u)}"
for key in ${keys}; do
openssl req -new -x509 -subj "/CN=${key}/ -keyout "${key}.key" -out "${key}.crt"
openssl x509 -outform DER -in "${key}.crt" -out "${key}.cer"
cert-to-efi-sig-list -g "${uuid}" "${key}.crt" "${key}.esl.nosign"
done
sign-efi-sig-list -c PK.crt -k PK.key PK PK.esl.nosign PK.esl
sign-efi-sig-list -c PK.crt -k PK.key KEK KEK.esl.nosign KEK.esl
sign-efi-sig-list -c KEK.crt -k KEK.key db db.esl.nosign db.esl
`
Once these keys are enrolled, all the files needed for boot ***NEED*** to be signed in
order to run. You can sign the binaries with the sbsign tool, for example:
`
sbsign --key db.key --cert db.crt bzImage --output $ESP/bzImage
`
Example:
Assuming the system has been put in Setup Mode:
`
$ESP/loader/keys/auto/db.esl
$ESP/loader/keys/auto/KEK.esl
$ESP/loader/keys/auto/PK.esl
$ESP/loader/keys/Linux Only/db.esl
$ESP/loader/keys/Linux Only/KEK.esl
$ESP/loader/keys/Linux Only/PK.esl
$ESP/loader/keys/Linux and Windows/db.esl
$ESP/loader/keys/Linux and Windows/KEK.esl
$ESP/loader/keys/Linux and Windows/PK.esl
`
If auto-enroll is set, then the db, KEK and then PK are enrolled from the 'auto'
directory.
If not, three new boot entries are available to the user in order to enroll either the
'Linux Only', 'Linux And Windows' or 'auto' set of keys.
There are a few undesirable properties to how boot entries are
currently sorted.
First, it sorts by entry file name only, which may not correspond
to the title that is shown (for exmaple because it is prefixed by
machine-id). The file ending will also create unexpected ordering
("arch-lts.conf" would come before "arch.conf").
While the list is sorted alphabetically ascending, it is also
lower version/priority first, which is unintuitive. In particular,
a boot-counted entry that is bad (0 tries left) will be at the very
top.
Additionally, the Windows and Mac loaders should be sorted with
the rest of the loaders.
This is useful if the auto-firmware setting has been disabled. The
keys used here are based on what the majority of firmware employ in
the wild.
This also ensures there's a chance for the user to discover this in
case they were too slow during POST or simply used the wrong ones.
Making keys case insensitive should help if caps lock is on.
We are not advertising them at runtime or in the manual to
reduce the noise.
This also hides the quit and version commands from the help
string. They are mostly for devs and otherwise have little
to no use to normal users. The latter overlaps with print
status which is still advertised.
The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this
is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere.
$ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n "http^gms' man/*.xml
No need to waste space, and uniformity is good.
$ perl -i -0pe 's|\n+<!--\s*SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1..\s*-->|\n<!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+ -->|gms' man/*.xml
We should probably refer to them from other man pages
for programs which use them, since right now all refs are
in systemd-boot(7). But creating the section is a good step
anyway.
