This will utilize 121 Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch 122 of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this 123 will have no effect. 124 125 Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and 126 initial state as well as data reset protection. This is used to 127 create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which 128 helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning 129 correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside 130 of the kernel itself. 131 132 Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having 133 confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that 134 it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for 135 providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it. 136 137 See <https://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information 138 about Intel(R) TXT. 139 See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot. 140 See Documentation/arch/x86/intel_txt.rst for a description of how to enable 141 Intel TXT support in a kernel boot. 142 143 If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N. 144 145 config LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR 146 int "Low address space for LSM to protect from user allocation" 147 depends on SECURITY && SECURITY_SELINUX 148 default 32768 if ARM || (ARM64 && COMPAT) 149 default 65536 150 help 151 This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected 152 from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages 153 can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs. 154 155 For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space 156 a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems. 157 On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768. 158 Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map 159 this low address space will need the permission specific to the 160 systems running LSM. 161 162 config HARDENED_USERCOPY 163 bool "Harden memory copies between kernel and userspace" 164 imply STRICT_DEVMEM 165 help 166 This option checks for obviously wrong memory regions when 167 copying memory to/from the kernel (via copy_to_user() and 168 copy_from_user() functions) by rejecting memory ranges that 169 are larger than the specified heap object, span multiple 170 separately allocated pages, are not on the process stack, 171 or are part of the kernel text.

Some of these binaries are statically defined 189 either in the kernel code itself, or as a kernel configuration 190 option. However, some of these are dynamically created at 191 runtime, or can be modified after the kernel has started up. 192 To provide an additional layer of security, route all of these 193 calls through a single executable that can not have its name 194 changed. 195 196 Note, it is up to this single binary to then call the relevant 197 "real" usermode helper binary, based on the first argument 198 passed to it. If desired, this program can filter and pick 199 and choose what real programs are called. 200 201 If you wish for all usermode helper programs are to be 202 disabled, choose this option and then set 203 STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH to an empty string. 204 205 config STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH 206 string "Path to the static usermode helper binary" 207 depends on STATIC_USERMODEHELPER 208 default "/sbin/usermode-helper" 209 help 210 The binary called by the kernel when any usermode helper 211 program is wish to be run.
