[PATCH 0/2] powerpc/pseries: restrict error injection and DT changes when locked down

From: Nathan Lynch
Date: Thu Sep 22 2022 - 15:38:45 EST


Add two new lockdown reasons for use in powerpc's pseries platform
code.

The pseries platform allows hardware-level error injection via certain
calls to the RTAS (Run Time Abstraction Services) firmware. ACPI-based
error injection is already restricted in lockdown; this facility
should be restricted for the same reasons.

pseries also allows nearly arbitrary device tree changes via
/proc/powerpc/ofdt. Just as overriding ACPI tables is not allowed
while locked down, so should this facility be restricted.

powerpc/pseries: block untrusted device tree changes when locked down
powerpc/rtas: block error injection when locked down
