DESCRIPTION top
**systemd-stub** (stored in per-architecture files linuxx64.efi.stub,
linuxia32.efi.stub, linuxaa64.efi.stub on disk) is a simple UEFI
boot stub. An UEFI boot stub is attached to a Linux kernel binary
image, and is a piece of code that runs in the UEFI firmware
environment before transitioning into the Linux kernel
environment. The UEFI boot stub ensures a Linux kernel is
executable as regular UEFI binary, and is able to do various
preparations before switching the system into the Linux world.
The UEFI boot stub looks for various resources for the kernel
invocation inside the UEFI PE binary itself. This allows combining
various resources inside a single PE binary image (a "Unified
Kernel Image" or "UKI" for short), which may then be signed via
UEFI SecureBoot as a whole, covering all individual resources at
once. Specifically it may include the following PE sections:
• A ".linux" section with the ELF Linux kernel image. This
section is required.
• An optional ".osrel" section with OS release information, i.e.
the contents of the [os-release(5)](../man5/os-release.5.html) file of the OS the kernel
belongs to.
• An optional ".cmdline" section with the kernel command line to
pass to the invoked kernel.
• An optional ".initrd" section with the initrd.
• An optional ".ucode" section with an initrd containing
microcode, to be handed to the kernel before any other initrd.
This initrd must not be compressed.
• An optional ".splash" section with an image (in the Windows
.BMP format) to show on screen before invoking the kernel.
• An optional ".dtb" section with a compiled binary DeviceTree.
• Zero or more ".dtbauto" sections. systemd-stub will always
use the first matching one. The match is performed by taking
the first DeviceTree's _compatible_ string supplied by the
firmware in configuration tables and comparing it with the
first _compatible_ string from each of the ".dtbauto" sections.
If the firmware does not provide a DeviceTree, the match is
done using the _.hwids_ section instead. After selecting a
".hwids" section (see the description below), the _compatible_
string from that section will be used to perform the same
matching procedure. If a match is found, that ".dtbauto"
section will be loaded and will override _.dtb_ if present.
• Zero or more ".efifw" sections for the firmware image. It
works in many ways similar to ".dtbauto" sections.
systemd-stub will always use the first matching one. The match
is performed by first selecting the most appropriate entry in
the _.hwids_ section based on the hardware IDs supplied by
SMBIOS (see below). If a suitable entry is found, the _fwid_
string from that entry will be used to perform the matching
procedure for firmware blobs in _.efifw_ section. The first
matching firmware will be loaded.
• Zero or more ".hwids" sections with hardware IDs of the
machines to match DeviceTrees. systemd-stub will use the
SMBIOS data to calculate hardware IDs of the machine (as per
**specification**[1]), and then it will try to find any of them in
each of the ".hwids" sections. The first matching section will
be used.
• An optional ".uname" section with the kernel version
information, i.e. the output of **uname -r** for the kernel
included in the ".linux" section.
• An optional ".sbat" section with **SBAT**[2] revocation metadata.
• An optional ".pcrsig" section with a set of cryptographic
signatures for the expected TPM2 PCR values after the kernel
has been booted, in JSON format. This is useful for
implementing TPM2 policies that bind disk encryption and
similar to kernels that are signed by a specific key.
• An optional ".pcrpkey" section with a public key in the PEM
format matching the signature data in the ".pcrsig" section.
In a basic UKI, the sections listed above appear at most once,
with the exception of ".dtbauto" and ".hwids" sections. In a
multi-profile UKI, multiple sets of these sections are present in
a single file and form "profiles", one of which can be selected at
boot. For this, the PE section ".profile" is defined to be used as
the separator between sets of sections. The ".profile" section
itself may contain meta-information about the section, and follows
a similar structure as the contents of the ".osrel" section. For
further details about multi-profile UKIs, see below.
If UEFI SecureBoot is enabled and the ".cmdline" section is
present in the executed image, any attempts to override the kernel
command line by passing one as invocation parameters to the EFI
binary are ignored. Thus, in order to allow overriding the kernel
command line, either disable UEFI SecureBoot, or do not include a
kernel command line PE section in the kernel image file. If a
command line is accepted via EFI invocation parameters to the EFI
binary it is measured into TPM PCR 12 (if a TPM is present).
If a DeviceTree is embedded in the ".dtb" section, it replaces an
existing DeviceTree in the corresponding EFI configuration table.
systemd-stub will ask the firmware via the "EFI_DT_FIXUP_PROTOCOL"
for hardware specific fixups to the DeviceTree.
The contents of 11 of these 12 sections are measured into TPM PCR
11. It is otherwise not used and thus the result can be
pre-calculated without too much effort. The ".pcrsig" section is
not included in this PCR measurement, since it is supposed to
contain signatures for the output of the measurement operation,
and thus cannot also be input to it. If an UKI contains multiple
profiles, only the PE sections of the selected profile (and those
of the base profile, except if overridden) are measured.
If non-zero, the selected numeric profile is measured into PCR 12.
When ".pcrsig" and/or ".pcrpkey" sections are present in a unified
kernel image their contents are passed to the booted kernel in an
synthetic initrd cpio archive that places them in the
/.extra/tpm2-pcr-signature.json and
/.extra/tpm2-pcr-public-key.pem files. Typically, a [tmpfiles.d(5)](../man5/tmpfiles.d.5.html)
line then ensures they are copied into
/run/systemd/tpm2-pcr-signature.json and
/run/systemd/tpm2-pcr-public-key.pem where they remain accessible
even after the system transitions out of the initrd environment
into the host file system. Tools such
[systemd-cryptsetup@.service(8)](../man8/systemd-cryptsetup@.service.8.html), [systemd-cryptenroll(1)](../man1/systemd-cryptenroll.1.html) and
[systemd-creds(1)](../man1/systemd-creds.1.html) will automatically use files present under these
paths to unlock protected resources (encrypted storage or
credentials) or bind encryption to booted kernels.
For further details about the UKI concept, see the **UKI**
**specification**[3].
COMPANION FILES top
The **systemd-stub** UEFI boot stub automatically collects three types
of auxiliary companion files optionally placed in drop-in
directories on the same partition as the EFI binary, dynamically
generates **cpio** initrd archives from them, and passes them to the
kernel. Specifically:
• For a kernel binary called _foo_.efi, it will look for files
with the .cred suffix in a directory named _foo_.efi.extra.d/
next to it. If the kernel binary uses a counter for the
purpose of **Automatic Boot Assessment**[4], this counter will be
ignored. For example, _foo_+3-0.efi will look in directory
_foo_.efi.extra.d/. A **cpio** archive is generated from all files
found that way, placing them in the /.extra/credentials/
directory of the initrd file hierarchy. The main initrd may
then access them in this directory. This is supposed to be
used to store auxiliary, encrypted, authenticated credentials
for use with _LoadCredentialEncrypted=_ in the UEFI System
Partition. See [systemd.exec(5)](../man5/systemd.exec.5.html) and [systemd-creds(1)](../man1/systemd-creds.1.html) for
details on encrypted credentials. The generated **cpio** archive
is measured into TPM PCR 12 (if a TPM is present).
• Similarly, files _foo_.efi.extra.d/*.sysext.raw are packed up in
a **cpio** archive and placed in the /.extra/sysext/ directory in
the initrd file hierarchy. This is supposed to be used to pass
additional system extension images to the initrd. See
[systemd-sysext(8)](../man8/systemd-sysext.8.html) for details on system extension images. The
generated **cpio** archive containing these system extension
images is measured into TPM PCR 13 (if a TPM is present).
• Similarly, files _foo_.efi.extra.d/*.confext.raw are packed up
in a **cpio** archive and placed in the /.extra/confext/ directory
in the initrd file hierarchy. This is supposed to be used to
pass additional configuration extension images to the initrd.
See [systemd-confext(8)](../man8/systemd-confext.8.html) for details on configuration extension
images. The generated **cpio** archive containing these
configuration extension images is measured into TPM PCR 12 (if
a TPM is present).
• Similarly, files _foo_.efi.extra.d/*.addon.efi are loaded and
verified as PE binaries and specific sections are loaded from
them. Addons are used to pass additional kernel command line
parameters (".cmdline" section), or DeviceTree blobs (".dtb"
section), additional initrds (".initrd" section), and
microcode updates (".ucode" section). Addons allow those
resources to be passed regardless of the kernel version being
booted, for example allowing platform vendors to ship
platform-specific configuration.
In case Secure Boot is enabled, these files will be validated
using keys in UEFI DB, Shim's DB or Shim's MOK, and only
loaded if the check passes. Additionally, if both the addon
and the UKI contain a ".uname" section, the addon will be
rejected if they do not match exactly. It is recommended to
always add a ".sbat" section to all signed addons, so that
they may be revoked with a SBAT policy update, without
requiring blocklisting via DBX/MOKX. The [ukify(1)](../man1/ukify.1.html) tool will
add a SBAT policy by default if none is passed when building
addons. For more information on SBAT see **Shim**
**documentation**[2].
Addon files are sorted, loaded, and measured into TPM PCR 12
(if a TPM is present) and appended to the kernel command line.
UKI command line options are listed first, then options from
addons in /loader/addons/*.addon.efi, and finally UKI-specific
addons. Device tree blobs are loaded and measured following
the same algorithm. Microcode addons are passed to the kernel
in inverse order (UKI specific addons, global addons, UKI
embedded section). This is because the microcode update driver
stops on the first matching filename. Addons are always loaded
in the same order based on the filename, so that, given the
same set of addons, the same set of measurements can be
expected in PCR12. However, note that the filename is not
protected by the PE signature, and as such an attacker with
write access to the ESP could potentially rename these files
to change the order in which they are loaded, in a way that
could alter the functionality of the kernel, as some options
might be order-dependent. If you sign such addons, you should
pay attention to the PCR12 values and make use of an
attestation service so that improper use of your signed addons
can be detected and dealt with using one of the aforementioned
revocation mechanisms.
• Files /loader/credentials/*.cred are packed up in a **cpio**
archive and placed in the /.extra/global_credentials/
directory of the initrd file hierarchy. This is supposed to be
used to pass additional credentials to the initrd, regardless
of the kernel version being booted. The generated **cpio** archive
is measured into TPM PCR 12 (if a TPM is present).
• Additionally, files /loader/addons/*.addon.efi are loaded and
verified as PE binaries, and ".cmdline", ".dtb", ".initrd",
and ".ucode" sections are parsed from them. This is supposed
to be used to pass additional command line parameters,
DeviceTree blobs, initrds, and microcode updates to the
kernel, regardless of the kernel version being booted.
These mechanisms may be used to parameterize and extend trusted
(i.e. signed), immutable initrd images in a reasonably safe way:
all data they contain is measured into TPM PCRs. On access they
should be further validated: in case of the credentials case by
encrypting/authenticating them via TPM, as exposed by
**systemd-creds encrypt -T** (see [systemd-creds(1)](../man1/systemd-creds.1.html) for details); in
case of the system extension images by using signed Verity images.
MULTI-PROFILE UKIS top
In many contexts it is useful to allow invocation of a single UKI
in multiple different modes (or "profiles") without compromising
the cryptographic integrity, measurements and so on of the boot
process. For example, a single UKI might provide three distinct
profiles: a regular boot one, one that invokes a "factory reset"
operation, and one that boots into a storage target mode (as in
[systemd-storagetm.service(8)](../man8/systemd-storagetm.service.8.html)). Each profile would then use the
same ".linux" and ".initrd" sections, but would have a separate
".cmdline" section. For example the latter two profiles would
extend the regular kernel command line with
"systemd.unit=factory-reset.target" or
"rd.systemd.unit=storagetm.target".
A single UKI may support multiple profiles by means of the special
".profile" PE section. This section acts as separator between the
PE sections of the individual profiles. ".profile" PE sections
hence may appear multiple times in a single UKI, and the other PE
sections listed above may appear multiple times too, if ".profile"
are used, but only once before the first ".profile" section, once
between each subsequent pair, and once after the last appearance
of ".profile". The sections listed before the first ".profile" are
considered the "base" profile of the UKI. Each ".profile" section
then introduces a new profile, which are numbered starting from
zero. The PE sections following each ".profile" are specific to
that profile. When booting into a specific profile the base
section's profiles are used in combination with the specific
profile's sections: if the same section is defined in both, the
per-profile section overrides the base profile's version,
otherwise the per-profile sections is used together with the base
profile sections.
A UKI that contains no ".profile" is consider equivalent to one
that just contains a single ".profile", as having only a single
profile @0.
Here's a simple example for a multi-profile UKI's sections,
inspired by the setup suggested above:
**Table 1. Multi-Profile UKI Example**
┌────────────┬──────────────┐
│ **Section** │ **Profile** │
├────────────┼──────────────┤
│ ".linux" │ │
├────────────┤ │
│ ".osrel" │ │
├────────────┤ Base profile │
│ ".cmdline" │ │
├────────────┤ │
│ ".initrd" │ │
├────────────┼──────────────┤
│ ".profile" │ Profile @0 │
├────────────┼──────────────┤
│ ".profile" │ │
├────────────┤ Profile @1 │
│ ".cmdline" │ │
├────────────┼──────────────┤
│ ".profile" │ │
├────────────┤ Profile @2 │
│ ".cmdline" │ │
└────────────┴──────────────┘
The section list above would define three profiles. The first four
sections make up the base profile. A ".profile" section then
introduces profile @0. It does not override any sections (or add
any) from the base section, hence it is immediately followed by
another ".profile" section that then introduces section @1. This
profile overrides the kernel command line. Finally, the last two
sections define section @2, again overriding the command line.
(Note that in this example the first ".cmdline" could also moved
behind the first ".profile" with equivalent effect. To keep things
nicely extensible, it is probably a good idea to keep the generic
command line in the base section instead of profile 0, in case
later added profiles might want to reuse it.)
The profile to boot may be controlled via the UKI's own command
line: if the first argument starts with "@", followed by a
positive integer number in decimal, it selects the profile to boot
into. If the first argument is not specified like that, the UKI
will automatically boot into profile 0.
A ".profile" section may contain meta-information about the
profile. It follows a similar format as ".osrel" (i.e. an
environment-variable-assignment-block-like list of newline
separated strings). Currently two fields are defined: "ID=" is
supposed to carry a short identifying string that identifies the
profile (e.g. "ID=factory-reset"). "TITLE=" should contain a
human readable string that may appear in the boot menu entry for
this profile (e.g. "TITLE='Factory Reset this Device'").
TPM PCR NOTES top
Note that when a unified kernel using **systemd-stub** is invoked the
firmware will measure it as a whole to TPM PCR 4, covering all
embedded resources, such as the stub code itself, the core kernel,
the embedded initrd and kernel command line (see above for a full
list), including all UKI profiles.
Also note that the Linux kernel will measure all initrds it
receives into TPM PCR 9. This means every type of initrd (of the
selected UKI profile) will possibly be measured two or three
times: the initrds embedded in the kernel image will be measured
to PCR 4, PCR 9 and PCR 11; the initrd synthesized from
credentials (and the one synthesized from configuration
extensions) will be measured to both PCR 9 and PCR 12; the initrd
synthesized from system extensions will be measured to both PCR 4
and PCR 9. Let's summarize the OS resources and the PCRs they are
measured to:

EFI VARIABLES top
The following EFI variables are defined, set and read by
**systemd-stub**, under the vendor UUID
"4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f", for communication between
the boot stub and the OS:
_LoaderDevicePartUUID_
Contains the partition UUID of the partition the boot loader
has been started from on the current boot (usually a EFI
System Partition). If already set by the boot loader, this
will remain untouched by **systemd-stub**. If not set yet, this
will be set to the partition UUID of the partition the unified
kernel is started from, in order to support systems that
directly boot into a unified kernel image, bypassing any boot
loader. [systemd-gpt-auto-generator(8)](../man8/systemd-gpt-auto-generator.8.html) uses this information
to automatically find the disk booted from, in order to
discover various other partitions on the same disk
automatically.
Added in version 224.
_LoaderFirmwareInfo_, _LoaderFirmwareType_
Brief firmware information. Use [bootctl(1)](../man1/bootctl.1.html) to view this data.
Added in version 250.
_LoaderImageIdentifier_
The file system path to the EFI executable of the boot loader
for the current boot, relative to the partition's root
directory (i.e. relative to the partition indicated by
_LoaderDevicePartUUID_, see above). If not set yet, this will be
set to the file system path of the EFI executable of the
booted unified kernel, in order to support systems that
directly boot into a unified kernel image, bypassing any boot
loader. Use [bootctl(1)](../man1/bootctl.1.html) to view this data.
Added in version 237.
_StubDevicePartUUID_, _StubImageIdentifier_
Similar to _LoaderDevicePartUUID_ and _StubImageIdentifier_, but
indicates the location of the unified kernel image EFI binary
rather than the location of the boot loader binary, regardless
of whether booted via a boot loader or not.
Added in version 257.
_StubInfo_
Brief stub information. Use [bootctl(1)](../man1/bootctl.1.html) to view this data.
Added in version 250.
_StubPcrKernelImage_
The PCR register index the kernel image, initrd image, boot
splash, devicetree database, and the embedded command line are
measured into, formatted as decimal ASCII string (e.g. "11").
This variable is set if a measurement was successfully
completed, and remains unset otherwise.
Added in version 252.
_StubPcrKernelParameters_
The PCR register index the kernel command line and credentials
are measured into, formatted as decimal ASCII string (e.g.
"12"). This variable is set if a measurement was successfully
completed, and remains unset otherwise.
Added in version 252.
_StubPcrInitRDSysExts_
The PCR register index the system extensions for the initrd,
which are picked up from the file system the kernel image is
located on. Formatted as decimal ASCII string (e.g. "13").
This variable is set if a measurement was successfully
completed, and remains unset otherwise.
Added in version 252.
_StubPcrInitRDConfExts_
The PCR register index the configuration extensions for the
initrd, which are picked up from the file system the kernel
image is located on. Formatted as decimal ASCII string (e.g.
"12"). This variable is set if a measurement was successfully
completed, and remains unset otherwise.
Added in version 255.
_StubProfile_
The numeric index of the selected profile, without the "@",
formatted as decimal string. Set both on single-profile and
multi-profile UKIs. (In the former case this variable will be
set to "0" unconditionally.)
Added in version 257.
Note that some of the variables above may also be set by the boot
loader. The stub will only set them if they are not set already.
Some of these variables are defined by the **Boot Loader**
**Interface**[5].
INITRD RESOURCES top
The following resources are passed as initrd cpio archives to the
booted kernel, and thus make up the initial file system hierarchy
in the initrd execution environment:
/
The main initrd from the ".initrd" PE section of the unified
kernel image.
Added in version 252.
/.extra/credentials/*.cred
Credential files (suffix ".cred") that are placed next to the
unified kernel image (as described above) are copied into the
/.extra/credentials/ directory in the initrd execution
environment.
Added in version 252.
/.extra/global_credentials/*.cred
Similarly, credential files in the /loader/credentials/
directory in the file system the unified kernel image is
placed in are copied into the /.extra/global_credentials/
directory in the initrd execution environment.
Added in version 252.
/.extra/sysext/*.sysext.raw
System extension image files (suffix ".sysext.raw") that are
placed next to the unified kernel image (as described above)
are copied into the /.extra/sysext/ directory in the initrd
execution environment.
Added in version 252.
/.extra/confext/*.confext.raw
Configuration extension image files (suffix ".confext.raw")
that are placed next to the unified kernel image (as described
above) are copied into the /.extra/confext/ directory in the
initrd execution environment.
Added in version 255.
/.extra/tpm2-pcr-signature.json
The TPM2 PCR signature JSON object included in the ".pcrsig"
PE section of the unified kernel image is copied into the
/.extra/tpm2-pcr-signature.json file in the initrd execution
environment.
Added in version 252.
/.extra/tpm2-pcr-public-key.pem
The PEM public key included in the ".pcrpkey" PE section of
the unified kernel image is copied into the
/.extra/tpm2-pcr-public-key.pem file in the initrd execution
environment.
Added in version 252.
/.extra/profile, /.extra/os-release
The contents of the ".profile" and ".osrel" sections of the
selected profile, if any.
Added in version 257.
Note that all these files are located in the "tmpfs" file system
the kernel sets up for the initrd file hierarchy and are thus lost
when the system transitions from the initrd execution environment
into the host file system. If these resources shall be kept around
over this transition they need to be copied to a place that
survives the transition first, for example via a suitable
[tmpfiles.d(5)](../man5/tmpfiles.d.5.html) line. By default, this is done for the TPM2 PCR
signature and public key files.
SMBIOS TYPE 11 STRINGS top
**systemd-stub** can be configured using SMBIOS Type 11 strings.
Applicable strings consist of a name, followed by "=", followed by
the value. Unless **systemd-stub** detects it is running inside a
confidential computing environment, **systemd-stub** will search the
table for a string with a specific name, and if found, use its
value. The following strings are read:
_io.systemd.stub.kernel-cmdline-extra_
If set, the value of this string is added to the list of
kernel command line arguments that are measured in PCR12 and
passed to the kernel.
Added in version 254.
ASSEMBLING KERNEL IMAGES top
In order to assemble a bootable Unified Kernel Image from various
components as described above, use [ukify(1)](../man1/ukify.1.html).
