<title>Description</title>
<para>Note: this command is experimental for now. While it is likely to become a regular component of
systemd, it might still change in behaviour and interface.</para>
<para><command>systemd-pcrlock</command> is a tool that may be used to analyze and predict TPM2 PCR
measurements, and generate TPM2 access policies from the prediction which it stores in a TPM2 NV index
(i.e. in the TPM2 non-volatile memory). This may then be used to restrict access to TPM2 objects (such as
disk encryption keys) to system boot-ups in which only specific, trusted components are used.</para>
<para><command>systemd-pcrlock</command> uses as input for its analysis and prediction:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>The UEFI firmware TPM2 event log
(i.e. <filename>/sys/kernel/security/tpm0/binary_bios_measurements</filename>) of the current
boot.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The userspace TPM2 event log
(i.e. <filename>/run/log/systemd/tpm2-measure.log</filename>) of the current
boot.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The current PCR state of the TPM2 chip.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Boot component definition files (<filename>*.pcrlock</filename> and
<filename>*.pcrlock.d/*.pcrlock</filename>, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.pcrlock</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
that each define expected measurements for one component of the boot process, permitting alternative
variants for each. (Variants may be used used to bless multiple kernel versions or boot loader versions
at the same time.)</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>It uses these inputs to generate a combined event log, validating it against the PCR states. It
then attempts to recognize event log records and matches them against the defined components. For each PCR
where this can be done comprehensively (i.e. where all listed records and all defined components have
been matched) this may then be used to predict future PCR measurements, taking the alternative variants
defined for each component into account. This prediction may then be converted into a TPM2 access policy
(consisting of TPM2 <function>PolicyPCR</function> and <function>PolicyOR</function> items), which is
then stored in an NV index in the TPM2. This may be used to then lock secrets (such as disk encryption
keys) to these policies (via a TPM2 <function>PolicyAuthorizeNV</function> policy).</para>
<para>Use tools such as
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptenroll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
or <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-repart</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> to
bind disk encryption to such a <command>systemd-pcrlock</command> TPM2 policy. Specifically, see the
<option>--tpm2-pcrlock=</option> switches of these tools.</para>
<para>The access policy logic requires a TPM2 device that implements the
<literal>PolicyAuthorizeNV</literal> command, i.e. implements TPM 2.0 version 1.38 or newer.</para>

<title>Commands</title>
<para>The following commands are understood:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><command>log</command></term>
<listitem><para>This reads the combined TPM2 event log, validates it, matches it against the current
PCR values, and outputs both in tabular form. Combine with <option>--json=</option> to generate
output in JSON format.</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v255"/></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><command>cel</command></term>
<listitem><para>This reads the combined TPM2 event log and writes it to STDOUT in <ulink

<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v255"/></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><command>list-components</command></term>
<listitem><para>Shows a list of component definitions and their variants, i.e. the
<filename>*.pcrlock</filename> files discovered in <filename>/var/lib/pcrlock.d/</filename>,
<filename>/usr/lib/pcrlock.d/</filename>, and the other supported directories. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.pcrlock</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details on these files and the full list of directories searched.</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v255"/></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><command>predict</command></term>
<listitem><para>Predicts the PCR state on future boots. This will analyze the TPM2 event log as
described above, recognize components, and then generate all possible resulting PCR values for all
combinations of component variants. Note that no prediction is made for PCRs whose value does not
match the event log records, for which unrecognized measurements are discovered or for which
components are defined that cannot be found in the event log. This is a safety measure to ensure that
any generated access policy can be fulfilled correctly on current and future boots.</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v255"/>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><command>make-policy</command></term>
<listitem><para>This predicts the PCR state for future boots, much like the
<command>predict</command> command above. It then uses this data to generate a TPM2 access policy
which it stores in a TPM2 NV index. The prediction and information about the used TPM2 and its NV
index are written to <filename>/var/lib/systemd/pcrlock.json</filename>.</para>
<para>The NV index is allocated on first invocation, and updated on subsequent invocations.</para>
<para>The NV index contents may be changed (and thus the policy stored in it updated) by providing an
access PIN. This PIN is normally generated automatically and stored in encrypted form (with an access
policy binding it to the NV index itself) in the aforementioned JSON policy file. This PIN may be
chosen by the user, via the <option>--recovery-pin=</option> switch. If specified it may be used as
alternative path of access to update the policy.</para>
<para>If the new prediction matches the old this command terminates quickly and executes no further
operation. (Unless <option>--force</option> is specified, see below.)</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v255"/>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><command>remove-policy</command></term>
<listitem><para>Removes a previously generated policy. Deletes the
<filename>/var/lib/systemd/pcrlock.json</filename> file, and deallocates the NV index.</para>

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><command>lock-firmware-code</command></term>
<term><command>unlock-firmware-code</command></term>
<listitem><para>Generates/removes <filename>.pcrlock</filename> files based on the TPM2 event log of
the current boot covering all records for PCRs 0 ("platform-code") and 2 ("external-code").</para>
<para>This operation allows locking the boot process to the current version of the firmware of the
system and its extension cards. This operation should only be used if the system vendor does not
provide suitable pcrlock data ahead of time.</para>
<para>Note that this data only matches the current version of the firmware. If a firmware update is
applied this data will be out-of-date and any access policy generated from it will no longer pass. It
is thus recommended to invoke <command>unlock-firmware-code</command> before doing a firmware update,
followed by <command>make-policy</command> to refresh the policy.</para>
<para><command>systemd-pcrlock lock-firmware-code</command> is invoked automatically at boot via the
<filename>systemd-pcrlock-firmware-code.service</filename> unit, if enabled. This ensures that an
access policy managed by <command>systemd-pcrlock</command> is automatically locked to the new
firmware version whenever the policy has been relaxed temporarily, in order to cover for firmware
updates, as described above.</para>
<para>The files are only generated from the event log if the event log matches the current TPM2 PCR
state.</para>
<para>This writes/removes the files
<filename>/var/lib/pcrlock.d/250-firmware-code-early.pcrlock.d/generated.pcrlock</filename> and

<term><command>lock-firmware-config</command></term>
<term><command>unlock-firmware-config</command></term>
<listitem><para>This is similar to
<command>lock-firmware-code</command>/<command>unlock-firmware-code</command> but locks down the
firmware configuration, i.e. PCRs 1 ("platform-config") and 3 ("external-config").</para>
<para>This functionality should be used with care as in most scenarios a minor firmware configuration
change should not invalidate access policies to TPM2 objects. Also note that some systems measure
unstable and unpredictable information (e.g. current CPU voltages, temperatures, as part of SMBIOS
data) to these PCRs, which means this form of lockdown cannot be used reliably on such systems. Use
this functionality only if the system and hardware is well known and does not suffer by these
limitations, for example in virtualized environments.</para>
<para>Use <command>unlock-firmware-config</command> before making firmware configuration changes. If
the <filename>systemd-pcrlock-firmware-config.service</filename> unit is enabled it will
automatically generate a pcrlock file from the new measurements.</para>
<para>This writes/removes the files
<filename>/var/lib/pcrlock.d/250-firmware-config-early.pcrlock.d/generated.pcrlock</filename> and

which PCRs to include in the prediction and policy. If unspecified this defaults to PCRs 0-5, 7,
11-15. Note that these commands will not include any PCRs in the prediction/policy (even if specified
explicitly) if there are measurements in the event log that do not match the current PCR value, or
there are unrecognized measurements in the event log, or components define measurements not seen in
the event log.</para>

<term><option>--location=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Takes either a string or a colon-separated pair of strings. Configures up to which
point in the sorted list of defined components to analyze/predict PCRs to. Typically, the
<command>systemd-pcrlock</command> tool is invoked from a fully booted system after boot-up and
before shutdown. This means various components that are defined for shutdown have not been measured
yet, and should not be searched for. This option allows one to restrict which components are
considered for analysis (taking only components before some point into account, ignoring components
after them). The expected string is ordered against the filenames of the components defined. Any
components with a lexicographically later name are ignored. This logic applies to the
<command>log</command>, <command>predict</command>, and <command>make-policy</command> verbs. If a
colon-separated pair of strings are specified then they select which phases of the boot to include
in the prediction/policy. The first string defines where the first prediction shall be made, and the
second string defines where the last prediction shall be made. All such predictions are then combined
into one set.</para>
<para>If used with <command>list-components</command> the selected location range will be highlighted
in the component list.</para>
<para>Defaults to <literal>760-:940-</literal>, which means the policies generated by default will
basically cover the whole runtime of the OS userspace, from the initrd (as <literal>760-</literal>
closely follows <filename>750-enter-initrd.pcrlock</filename>) until (and including) the main runtime
of the system (as <literal>940-</literal> is closely followed by
<filename>950-shutdown.pcrlock</filename>). See

<listitem><para>Takes a boolean. Defaults to false. Honoured by <command>make-policy</command>. If
true, will query the user for a PIN to unlock the TPM2 NV index with. If no policy was created before
this PIN is used to protect the newly allocated NV index. If a policy has been created before the PIN
is used to unlock write access to the NV index. If this option is not used a PIN is automatically
generated. Regardless if user supplied or automatically generated, it is stored in encrypted form in
the policy metadata file. The recovery PIN may be used to regain write access to an NV index in case
the access policy became out of date.</para>
