USB smart card readers are most full speed devices, and there is no
"rate-matching hubs" beneath the root hub on older (e.g. GM45) plat-
forms, which has companion OHCI or UHCI controllers and needs cor-
responding drivers to communicate with card readers directly plugged
into the motherboard, otherwise a discrete USB hub should be inserted
between the motherboard and the reader.
This time I make inserting linux modules for OHCI and UHCI controllable
with option CONFIG_LINUX_USB_COMPANION_CONTROLLER.
A linux config for x200 is added as an example.
Tested on my x200s and elitebook revolve 810g1.
if "CONFIG_TPM=y" is not present in the config file, functionalities
needing TPM could be disabled, while leaving other functionalities intact.
This will make Heads a more general-usage bootloader payload atop coreboot.
This development branch builds a NERF firmware for the Dell R630
server. It does not use coreboot; instead it branches directly
from the vendor's PEI core into Linux and the Heads runtime
that is setup to be run as an EFI executable.
Closes issue #226
Also changed to procedure to show LVM volume groups and block
device ids to aid in choosing the right combination during the
TPM LUKS key sealing process.
Changed the checking of required hashes or required rollback state
to be right before boot, allowing the user to sign/set defaults
in interactive mode.
Also cleaned up usages of recovery and fixed iso parameter
regression.
Similar to qubes-update, it will save then verify the hashes of
the kexec files. Once TOTP is verified, a normal boot will verify
that the file hashes and all the kexec params match and if
successful, boot directly to OS.
Also added a config option to require hash verification for
non-recovery boots, failing to recovery not met.
Refactored boot parsing code and applied that in local-init to
scan /boot for grub options and allow the user to unsafely boot
anything. This goes a long way to addressing #196.
Optionally the user can customize those boot parameters or enforce
arbitrary hashes on the boot device by creating and signing config
files in /boot/ or /media/ or /media/kexec_iso/ISO_FILENAME/.
usb-boot automatically uses internal xen binary / command line
when multiboot is detected.
also tweaked to evaluate/remove variable refs in kexec arguments
Supports booting from USB media using either the root device or
a signed ISO as the boot device. Boot options are parsed with
quick/dirty shell scripts to infer kexec params.
Closes#195 and begins to address #196
This adds support for seamless booting of Qubes with a TPM disk key,
as well as signing of qubes files in /boot with a Yubikey.
The signed hashes also includes a TPM counter, which is incremented
when new hashes are signed. This prevents rollback attacks against
the /boot filesystem.
The TPMTOTP value is presented to the user at the time of entering
the disk encryption keys. Hitting enter will generate a new code.
The LUKS headers are included in the TPM sealing of the disk
encryption keys.
