Description
*.pcrlock files define expected TPM2 PCR measurements of components involved
in the boot
process. systemd-pcrlock1
uses such pcrlock files to analyze and predict TPM2 PCR measurements. The pcrlock files are JSON arrays
that follow a subset of the TCG Canonical Event Log Format
(CEL-JSON) specification. Specifically the recnum, content,
and content_type record fields are not used and ignored if present. Each pcrlock file
defines one set of expected, ordered PCR measurements of a specific component of the boot.
*.pcrlock files may be placed in various .d/ drop-in directories (see above
for a full list). All matching files discovered in these directories are sorted alphabetically by their
file name (without taking the actual directory they were found in into account): pcrlock files with
alphabetically earlier names are expected to cover measurements done before those with alphabetically
later names. In order to make positioning pcrlock files in the boot process convenient the files are
expected (by convention, this is not enforced) to be named
NNN-component.pcrlock (where
NNN is a three-digit decimal number), for example
750-enter-initrd.pcrlock.
For various components of the boot process more than one alternative pcrlock file shall be
supported (i.e. "variants"). For example to cover multiple kernels installed in parallel in the access
policy, or multiple versions of the boot loader. This can be done by placing
*.pcrlock.d/*.pcrlock in the drop-in dirs, i.e. a common directory for a specific
component, that contains one or more pcrlock files each covering one variant of the
component. Example: 650-kernel.pcrlock.d/6.5.5-200.fc38.x86_64.pcrlock and
650-kernel.pcrlock.d/6.5.7-100.fc38.x86_64.pcrlock
Use systemd-pcrlock list-components to list all pcrlock files currently
installed.
Use the various lock-* commands of systemd-pcrlock to
automatically generate suitable pcrlock files for various types of resources.
Well-known Components
Components of the boot process may be defined freely by the administrator or OS vendor. The
following components are well-known however, and are defined by systemd. The list below is useful for
ordering local pcrlock files properly against these components of the boot.
240-secureboot-policy.pcrlock
The SecureBoot policy, as recorded to PCR 7. May be generated via
systemd-pcrlock lock-secureboot-policy.
250-firmware-code-early.pcrlock
Firmware code measurements, as recorded to PCR 0 and 2, up to the separator
measurement (see 400-secureboot-separator.pcrlock below). May be generated via
systemd-pcrlock lock-firmware-code.
250-firmware-config-early.pcrlock
Firmware configuration measurements, as recorded to PCR 1 and 3, up to the separator
measurement (see 400-secureboot-separator.pcrlock below). May be generated via
systemd-pcrlock lock-firmware-config.
350-action-efi-application.pcrlock
The EFI "Application" measurement done once by the firmware. Statically defined.
400-secureboot-separator.pcrlock
The EFI "separator" measurement on PCR 7 done once by the firmware to indicate where
firmware control transitions into boot loader/OS control. Statically defined.
500-separator.pcrlock
The EFI "separator" measurements on PCRs 0-6 done once by the firmware to indicate
where firmware control transitions into boot loader/OS control. Statically defined.
550-firmware-code-late.pcrlock
Firmware code measurements, as recorded to PCR 0 and 2, after the separator
measurement (see 400-secureboot-separator.pcrlock above). May be generated via
systemd-pcrlock lock-firmware-code.
550-firmware-config-late.pcrlock
Firmware configuration measurements, as recorded to PCR 1 and 3, after the separator
measurement (see 400-secureboot-separator.pcrlock above). May be generated via
systemd-pcrlock lock-firmware-config.
600-gpt.pcrlock
The GPT partition table of the booted medium, as recorded to PCR 5 by the
firmware. May be generated via systemd-pcrlock lock-gpt.
620-secureboot-authority.pcrlock
The SecureBoot authority, as recorded to PCR 7. May be generated via
systemd-pcrlock lock-secureboot-authority.
700-action-efi-exit-boot-services.pcrlock
The EFI action generated when ExitBootServices() is generated,
i.e. when the UEFI environment is left and the OS takes over. Covers the PCR 5 measurement. Statically
defined.
710-kernel-cmdline.pcrlock
The kernel command line, as measured by the Linux kernel to PCR 9. May be generated
via systemd-pcrlock lock-kernel-cmdline.
720-kernel-initrd.pcrlock
The kernel initrd, as measured by the Linux kernel to PCR 9. May be generated
via systemd-pcrlock lock-kernel-initrd.
750-enter-initrd.pcrlock
The measurement to PCR 11
systemd-pcrphase-initrd.service8
makes when the initrd initializes. Statically defined.
800-leave-initrd.pcrlock
The measurement to PCR 11
systemd-pcrphase-initrd.service8
makes when the initrd finishes. Statically defined.
820-machine-id.pcrlock
The measurement to PCR 15
systemd-pcrmachine.service8
makes at boot, covering /etc/machine-id contents. May be generated via
systemd-pcrlock lock-machine-id.
830-root-file-system.pcrlock
The measurement to PCR 15
systemd-pcrfs-root.service8
makes at boot, covering the root file system identity. May be generated
via systemd-pcrlock lock-file-system.
850-sysinit.pcrlock
The measurement to PCR 11
systemd-pcrphase-sysinit.service8

services. Statically defined.

The measurement to PCR 11
systemd-pcrphase.service8
makes when the system fully booted up. Statically defined.
