[PATCH 19/25] MODSIGN: Sign modules during the build process

From: David Howells
Date: Wed Aug 15 2012 - 21:37:53 EST


If CONFIG_MODULE_SIG is set, then this patch will cause the module to get a
signature installed. The following steps will occur:

(1) The module will be linked to foo.ko.unsigned instead of foo.ko

(2) The module will be stripped using both "strip -x -g" and "eu-strip" to
ensure minimal size for inclusion in an initramfs.

(3) The signature will be generated on the stripped module.

(4) The signature will be appended to the module, along with the payload
size, the signature size and a magic string.

Step (3) requires private and public keys to be available. By default these
are expected to be found in PGP keyring files called modsign.sec (the secret
key) and modsign.pub (the public key) in the build root.

If the secret key is not found then signing will be skipped and the unsigned
module from (1) will just be copied to foo.ko.

If signing occurs, lines like the following will be seen:

LD [M] fs/foo/foo.ko.unsigned
STRIP [M] fs/foo/foo.ko.stripped
SIGN [M] fs/foo/foo.ko

will appear in the build log. If the signature step will be skipped and the
following will be seen:

LD [M] fs/foo/foo.ko.unsigned
STRIP [M] fs/foo/foo.ko.stripped
NO SIGN [M] fs/foo/foo.ko

NOTE! After the signature step, the signed module must not be passed through
strip. The unstripped, unsigned module is still available at the name on the
LD [M] line. This restriction may affect packaging tools (such as rpmbuild)
and initramfs composition tools.

Note that I do not agree with this method of attaching signatures to modules.
