Subject: [PATCH v12 15/35] s390x/ipl: Introduce IPL Information Report Block (IIRB)
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 16:49:01 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701204922.1320349-16-zycai@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701204922.1320349-1-zycai@linux.ibm.com>
The IPL information report block (IIRB) contains information used
to locate IPL records and to report the results of signature verification
of one or more secure components of the load device.
IIRB is stored immediately following the IPL Parameter Block. Results on
component verification in any case (failure or success) are stored.
The IIRB data is reserved and protected by the guest kernel during early
boot to prevent it from being overwritten before the certificate data is
permanently saved.

+IPL Information Report Block
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The IPL Parameter Block (IPLPB), utilized for IPL operation, is extended with an
+IPL Information Report Block (IIRB), which contains the results from secure IPL
+operations such as:
+
+* component data
+* verification results
+* certificate data
+
+During early boot, the guest kernel reserves the memory region
+containing the IIRB. This preserves the data while the guest kernel is
+operating and during re-IPL.
+
+The guest kernel uses the contents in the IIRB for:
+
+* Boot logging: reports which components were loaded and verified.
+* kexec operations: builds the next kernel’s IPL report from the existing one.
+* Keying: installs IPL certificates into the platform trusted keyring.
