Subject: [PATCH v6 20/28] s390x: Guest support for Secure-IPL Code Loading Attributes Facility (SCLAF)
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 19:21:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250917232131.495848-21-zycai@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250917232131.495848-1-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. Specifically, it may:
+
+* Provide direction on how to process the rest of the component.
+
+* Provide further validation of information on where to load the signed binary code
+ from the load device.
+
+* Specify where to start the execution of the loaded OS code.
