<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-stub</command> (stored in per-architecture files
<filename>linuxx64.efi.stub</filename>, <filename>linuxia32.efi.stub</filename>,
<filename>linuxaa64.efi.stub</filename> on disk) is a simple UEFI boot stub. An UEFI boot stub is
attached to a Linux kernel binary image, and is a piece of code that runs in the UEFI firmware
environment before transitioning into the Linux kernel environment. The UEFI boot stub ensures a Linux
kernel is executable as regular UEFI binary, and is able to do various preparations before switching the
system into the Linux world.</para>
<para>The UEFI boot stub looks for various resources for the kernel invocation inside the UEFI PE binary
itself. This allows combining various resources inside a single PE binary image (usually called "Unified
Kernel Image", or "UKI" for short), which may then be signed via UEFI SecureBoot as a whole, covering all
individual resources at once. Specifically it may include:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<!-- Let's keep this in the canonical order we also measure the sections by, i.e. as in
src/fundamental/uki.h's UnifiedSection enum -->
<listitem><para>The ELF Linux kernel images will be looked for in the <literal>.linux</literal> PE
section of the executed image.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>OS release information, i.e. the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>os-release</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> file of
the OS the kernel belongs to, in the <literal>.osrel</literal> PE section.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The kernel command line to pass to the invoked kernel will be looked for in the
<literal>.cmdline</literal> PE section.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The initrd will be loaded from the <literal>.initrd</literal> PE
section.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>A boot splash (in Windows <filename>.BMP</filename> format) to show on screen before
invoking the kernel will be looked for in the <literal>.splash</literal> PE section.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>A compiled binary DeviceTree will be looked for in the <literal>.dtb</literal> PE
section.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Kernel version information, i.e. the output of <command>uname -r</command> for the
kernel included in the UKI, in the <literal>.uname</literal> PE section.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><ulink url="https://github.com/rhboot/shim/blob/main/SBAT.md">SBAT</ulink> revocation
metadata, in the <literal>.sbat</literal> PE section.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>A set of cryptographic signatures for expected TPM2 PCR values when this kernel is
booted, in JSON format, in the <literal>.pcrsig</literal> section. This is useful for implementing TPM2
policies that bind disk encryption and similar to kernels that are signed by a specific
key.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>A public key in PEM format matching this TPM2 PCR signature data in the
<literal>.pcrpkey</literal> section.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>If UEFI SecureBoot is enabled and the <literal>.cmdline</literal> section is present in the executed
image, any attempts to override the kernel command line by passing one as invocation parameters to the
EFI binary are ignored. Thus, in order to allow overriding the kernel command line, either disable UEFI
SecureBoot, or don't include a kernel command line PE section in the kernel image file. If a command line
is accepted via EFI invocation parameters to the EFI binary it is measured into TPM PCR 12 (if a TPM is
present).</para>
<para>If a DeviceTree is embedded in the <literal>.dtb</literal> section, it replaces an existing
DeviceTree in the corresponding EFI configuration table. systemd-stub will ask the firmware via the
<literal>EFI_DT_FIXUP_PROTOCOL</literal> for hardware specific fixups to the DeviceTree.</para>
<para>The contents of seven of these eight PE sections are measured into TPM PCR 11, that is otherwise
not used. Thus, it can be pre-calculated without too much effort. The <literal>.pcrsig</literal> section
is not included in this PCR measurement, since it's supposed to contain signatures for the expected
results for these measurements, i.e. of the outputs of the measurement operation, and thus cannot also be
input to it.</para>
<para>When <literal>.pcrsig</literal> and/or <literal>.pcrpkey</literal> are present in a unified kernel
image their contents are passed to the booted kernel in an synthetic initrd cpio archive that places them in the
<filename>/.extra/tpm2-pcr-signature.json</filename> and
<filename>/.extra/tpm2-pcr-public-key.pem</filename> files. Typically, a
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>tmpfiles.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> line then
ensures they are copied into <filename>/run/systemd/tpm2-pcr-signature.json</filename> and
<filename>/run/systemd/tpm2-pcr-public-key.pem</filename> where they remain accessible even after the
system transitions out of the initrd environment into the host file system. Tools such
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptenroll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
will automatically use files present under these paths to unlock protected resources (encrypted storage
or credentials) or bind encryption to booted kernels.</para>

<refsect1>
<title>Companion Files</title>
<para>The <command>systemd-stub</command> UEFI boot stub automatically collects three types of auxiliary
companion files optionally placed in drop-in directories on the same partition as the EFI binary,
dynamically generates <command>cpio</command> initrd archives from them, and passes them to the kernel.
Specifically:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>For a kernel binary called <filename><replaceable>foo</replaceable>.efi</filename>, it
will look for files with the <filename>.cred</filename> suffix in a directory named
<filename><replaceable>foo</replaceable>.efi.extra.d/</filename> next to it. If the kernel binary
uses a counter for the purpose of
<ulink url="https://systemd.io/AUTOMATIC_BOOT_ASSESSMENT">Automatic Boot Assessment</ulink>, this
counter will be ignored. For example, <filename><replaceable>foo</replaceable>+3-0.efi</filename>
will look in directory <filename><replaceable>foo</replaceable>.efi.extra.d/</filename>.
A <command>cpio</command>
archive is generated from all files found that way, placing them in the
<filename>/.extra/credentials/</filename> directory of the initrd file hierarchy. The main initrd may
then access them in this directory. This is supposed to be used to store auxiliary, encrypted,
authenticated credentials for use with <varname>LoadCredentialEncrypted=</varname> in the UEFI System
Partition. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for
details on encrypted credentials. The generated <command>cpio</command> archive is measured into TPM
PCR 12 (if a TPM is present).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Similarly, files <filename><replaceable>foo</replaceable>.efi.extra.d/*.raw</filename>
are packed up in a <command>cpio</command> archive and placed in the <filename>/.extra/sysext/</filename>
directory in the initrd file hierarchy. This is supposed to be used to pass additional system extension
images to the initrd. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-sysext</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
details on system extension images. The generated <command>cpio</command> archive containing these
system extension images is measured into TPM PCR 13 (if a TPM is present).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Similarly, files
<filename><replaceable>foo</replaceable>.efi.extra.d/*.addon.efi</filename> are loaded and verified as
PE binaries, and a <literal>.cmdline</literal> section is parsed from them. Addons are supposed to be
used to pass additional kernel command line parameters or Devicetree blobs, regardless of the kernel
image being booted, for example to allow platform vendors to ship platform-specific
configuration.</para>
<para>In case Secure Boot is enabled, these files will be validated using keys in UEFI DB, Shim's DB or
Shim's MOK, and will be rejected otherwise. Additionally, if the both the addon and the UKI contain a a
<literal>.uname</literal> section, the addon will be rejected if they do not match exactly. It is
recommended to always add a <literal>.sbat</literal> section to all signed addons, so that they may be
revoked with a SBAT policy update, without requiring blocklisting via DBX/MOKX. The
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>ukify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> tool will add
a SBAT policy by default if none is passed when building addons. For more information on SBAT see
<ulink url="https://github.com/rhboot/shim/blob/main/SBAT.md">Shim documentation</ulink>.</para>
<para>Addon files are sorted, loaded, and measured into TPM PCR 12 (if a TPM is present) and appended
to the kernel command line. UKI command line options are listed first, then options from addons in
<filename>/loader/addons/*.addon.efi</filename>, and finally UKI-specific addons. Device tree blobs are
loaded and measured following the same algorithm. Addons are always loaded in the same order based on
the filename, so that, given the same set of addons, the same set of measurements can be expected in
PCR12. However, note that the filename is not protected by the PE signature, and as such an attacker
with write access to the ESP could potentially rename these files to change the order in which they are
loaded, in a way that could alter the functionality of the kernel, as some options might be
order-dependent. If you sign such addons, you should pay attention to the PCR12 values and make use of
an attestation service so that improper use of your signed addons can be detected and dealt with using
one of the aforementioned revocation mechanisms.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Files <filename>/loader/credentials/*.cred</filename> are packed up in a
<command>cpio</command> archive and placed in the <filename>/.extra/global_credentials/</filename>
directory of the initrd file hierarchy. This is supposed to be used to pass additional credentials to
the initrd, regardless of the kernel being booted. The generated <command>cpio</command> archive is
measured into TPM PCR 12 (if a TPM is present).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Additionally, files <filename>/loader/addons/*.addon.efi</filename> are loaded and
verified as PE binaries, and <literal>.cmdline</literal> and/or <literal>.dtb</literal> sections are
parsed from them. This is supposed to be used to pass additional command line parameters or Devicetree
blobs to the kernel, regardless of the kernel being booted.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>These mechanisms may be used to parameterize and extend trusted (i.e. signed), immutable initrd
images in a reasonably safe way: all data they contain is measured into TPM PCRs. On access they should be
further validated: in case of the credentials case by encrypting/authenticating them via TPM, as exposed
by <command>systemd-creds encrypt -T</command> (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
details); in case of the system extension images by using signed Verity images.</para>

<title>TPM PCR Notes</title>
<para>Note that when a unified kernel using <command>systemd-stub</command> is invoked the firmware will
measure it as a whole to TPM PCR 4, covering all embedded resources, such as the stub code itself, the
core kernel, the embedded initrd and kernel command line (see above for a full list).</para>
<para>Also note that the Linux kernel will measure all initrds it receives into TPM PCR 9. This means
every type of initrd will be measured two or three times: the initrd embedded in the kernel image will be
measured to PCR 4, PCR 9 and PCR 11; the initrd synthesized from credentials will be measured to both PCR
9 and PCR 12; the initrd synthesized from system extensions will be measured to both PCR 4 and PCR
9. Let's summarize the OS resources and the PCRs they are measured to:</para>

<title>initrd Resources</title>
<para>The following resources are passed as initrd cpio archives to the booted kernel, and thus make up
the initial file system hierarchy in the initrd execution environment:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><filename>/</filename></term>
<listitem><para>The main initrd from the <literal>.initrd</literal> PE section of the unified kernel image.</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v252"/></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><filename>/.extra/credentials/*.cred</filename></term>
<listitem><para>Credential files (suffix <literal>.cred</literal>) that are placed next to the
unified kernel image (as described above) are copied into the
<filename>/.extra/credentials/</filename> directory in the initrd execution
environment.</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v252"/></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><filename>/.extra/global_credentials/*.cred</filename></term>
<listitem><para>Similar, credential files in the <filename>/loader/credentials/</filename> directory
in the file system the unified kernel image is placed in are copied into the
<filename>/.extra/global_credentials/</filename> directory in the initrd execution
environment.</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v252"/></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><filename>/.extra/sysext/*.raw</filename></term>
<listitem><para>System extension image files (suffix <literal>.raw</literal>) that are placed next to
the unified kernel image (as described above) are copied into the
<filename>/.extra/sysext/</filename> directory in the initrd execution environment.</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v252"/></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><filename>/.extra/tpm2-pcr-signature.json</filename></term>
<listitem><para>The TPM2 PCR signature JSON object included in the <literal>.pcrsig</literal> PE
section of the unified kernel image is copied into the
<filename>/.extra/tpm2-pcr-signature.json</filename> file in the initrd execution

<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v252"/></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><filename>/.extra/tpm2-pcr-pkey.pem</filename></term>
<listitem><para>The PEM public key included in the <literal>.pcrpkey</literal> PE section of the

</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>Note that all these files are located in the <literal>tmpfs</literal> file system the kernel sets
up for the initrd file hierarchy and are thus lost when the system transitions from the initrd execution
environment into the host file system. If these resources shall be kept around over this transition they
need to be copied to a place that survives the transition first, for example via a suitable
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>tmpfiles.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> line. By
default, this is done for the TPM2 PCR signature and public key files.</para>

<title>SMBIOS Type 11 Strings</title>
<para><command>systemd-stub</command> can be configured using SMBIOS Type 11 strings. Applicable strings
consist of a name, followed by <literal>=</literal>, followed by the value.
<command>systemd-stub</command> will search the table for a string with a specific name, and if found,
use its value. The following strings are read:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>io.systemd.stub.kernel-cmdline-extra</varname></term>
<listitem><para>If set, the value of this string is added to the list of kernel command line
arguments that are measured in PCR12 and passed to the kernel.</para>
