Subject: [PATCH v12 25/35] s390x: Guest support for Secure-IPL Code Loading Attributes Facility (SCLAF)
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 16:49:11 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701204922.1320349-26-zycai@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701204922.1320349-1-zycai@linux.ibm.com>
The secure-IPL-code-loading-attributes facility (SCLAF)
provides additional security during secure IPL.
Availability of SCLAF is determined by byte 136 bit 3 of the
SCLP Read Info block.
This feature is available starting with the gen16 CPU model.

+Secure Code Loading Attributes Facility
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The Secure Code Loading Attributes Facility (SCLAF) enhances system security
+during the IPL by enforcing additional verification rules.
+
+When SCLAF is available, its behavior depends on the IPL mode. It introduces
+verification of both signed and unsigned components to help ensure that only
+authorized code is loaded during the IPL process. Any errors detected by SCLAF
+are reported in the IIRB.
+
+Unsigned components are restricted to load addresses at or above absolute
+storage address ``0x2000``.
+
+Signed components must include a Secure Code Loading Attribute Block (SCLAB),
+which is appended at the very end of the component. The SCLAB defines security
+attributes for handling the signed code.
