Subject: [PATCH 1/2] firmware: Add boot information sysfs
Date: Tue,  1 Feb 2022 15:35:00 +1030	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220201050501.182961-2-joel@jms.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220201050501.182961-1-joel@jms.id.au>

Machines often have firmware that perform some action before Linux is
loaded. It's useful to know how this firmware is configured, so create a
sysfs directory and some example properties that a system can choose to
expose to describe how the system was started.

Currently the intended use describes five files, relating to hardware
root of trust configuration.

+What:		/sys/firmware/bootinfo/*
+Date:		Jan 2022
+Description:
+		A system can expose information about how it was started in
+		this directory.
+
+		This information is agnostic as to the firmware implementation.
+
+		A system may expose a subset of these properties as applicable.
+
+
+What:		/sys/firmware/bootinfo/secure_boot
+Date:		Jan 2022
+Description:
+		Indicates the system was started with secure boot enabled in
+		the firmware.

+
+What:		/sys/firmware/bootinfo/abr_image
+Date:		Jan 2022
+Description:
+		Indicates the system was started from the alternate image
+		loaded from an Alternate Boot Region. Often this is a result of
+		the primary firmware image failing to start the system.
+
+
+What:		/sys/firmware/bootinfo/low_security_key
+Date:		Jan 2022
+Description:
+		Indicates the system's secure boot was verified with a low
+		security or development key.
+
+What:		/sys/firmware/bootinfo/otp_protected
+Date:		Jan 2022
+Description:
+		Indicates the system's boot configuration region is write
+		protected and cannot be modified.

+What:		/sys/firmware/bootinfo/uart_boot
+Date:		Jan 2022
+Description:
+		Indicates the system firmware was loaded from a UART instead of
+		an internal boot device.
