(Like most of FIPS, the actual value here is as questionable as it is non-negotiable.) Specifically, at startup we need to compute an HMAC-SHA256 of the cryptographic code+data and compare it against a build-time HMAC-SHA256 that has been stored in the binary as well. This obviously guards against accidental corruption only, not attacks. We could compute an HMAC-SHA256 of the entire binary, but that's more startup latency than we'd like. (At 500 MB/s, a large 50MB binary would incur a 100ms hit.) Also, as we'll see, there are some limitations imposed on the code+data being hashed, and it's nice to restrict those to the actual cryptographic packages. # FIPS Symbol Types Since we're not hashing the whole binary, we need to record the parts of the binary that contain FIPS code, specifically the part of the binary corresponding to the crypto/internal/fips140 package subtree. To do that, we create special symbol types STEXTFIPS, SRODATAFIPS, SNOPTRDATAFIPS, and SDATAFIPS, which those packages use instead of STEXT, SRODATA, SNOPTRDATA, and SDATA. The linker groups symbols by their type, so that naturally makes the FIPS parts contiguous within a given type. The linker then writes out in a special symbol the start and end of each of these FIPS-specific sections, alongside the expected HMAC-SHA256 of them. At startup, the crypto/internal/fips140/check package has an init function that recomputes the hash and checks it against the recorded expectation. The first important functionality in this file, then, is converting from the standard symbol types to the FIPS symbol types, in the code that needs them. Every time an LSym.Type is set, code must call [LSym.setFIPSType] to update the Type to a FIPS type if appropriate. # Relocation Restrictions Of course, for the hashes to match, the FIPS code+data written by the linker has to match the FIPS code+data in memory at init time. This means that there cannot be an load-time relocations that modify the FIPS code+data. In a standard -buildmode=exe build, that's vacuously true, since those binaries have no load-time relocations at all. For a -buildmode=pie build, there's more to be done. Specifically, we have to make sure that all the relocations needed are position-independent, so that they can be applied a link time with no load-time component. For the code segment (the STEXTFIPS symbols), that means only using PC-relative relocations. For the data segment, that means basically having no relocations at all. In particular, there cannot be R_ADDR relocations. For example, consider the compilation of code like the global variables: var array = [...]int{10, 20, 30} var slice = array[:] The standard implementation of these globals is to fill out the array values in an SDATA symbol at link time, and then also to fill out the slice header at link time as {nil, 3, 3}, along with a relocation to fill in the first word of the slice header with the pointer &array at load time, once the address of array is known. A similar issue happens with: var slice = []int{10, 20, 30} The compiler invents an anonymous array and then treats the code as in the first example. In both cases, a load-time relocation applied before the crypto/internal/fips140/check init function would invalidate the hash. Instead, we disable the “link time initialization” optimizations in the compiler (package staticinit) for the fips packages. That way, the slice initialization is deferred to its own init function. As long as the package in question imports crypto/internal/fips140/check, the hash check will happen before the package's own init function runs, and so the hash check will see the slice header written by the linker, with a slice base pointer predictably nil instead of the unpredictable &array address. The details of disabling the static initialization appropriately are left to the compiler (see ../../compile/internal/staticinit). This file is only concerned with making sure that no hash-invalidating relocations sneak into the object files. [LSym.checkFIPSReloc] is called for every new relocation in a symbol in a FIPS package (as reported by [Link.IsFIPS]) and rejects invalid relocations. # FIPS and Non-FIPS Symbols The cryptographic code+data must be included in the hash-verified data. In general we accomplish that by putting all symbols from crypto/internal/fips140/... packages into the hash-verified data. But not all. Note that wrapper code that layers a Go API atop the cryptographic core is unverified. For example, crypto/internal/fips140/sha256 is part of the FIPS module and verified but the crypto/sha256 package that wraps it is outside the module and unverified. Also, runtime support like the implementation of malloc and garbage collection is outside the FIPS module. Again, only the core cryptographic code and data is in scope for the verification. By analogy with these cases, we treat function wrappers like foo·f (the function pointer form of func foo) and runtime support data like runtime type descriptors, generic dictionaries, stack maps, and function argument data as being outside the FIPS module. That's important because some of them need to be contiguous with other non-FIPS data, and all of them include data relocations that would be incompatible with the hash verification. # Debugging Bugs in the handling of FIPS symbols can be mysterious. It is very helpful to narrow the bug down to a specific symbol that causes a problem when treated as a FIPS symbol. Rather than work that out manually, if “go test strings” is failing, then you can use go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/bisect@latest bisect -compile=fips go test strings to automatically bisect which symbol triggers the bug. # Link-Time Hashing The link-time hash preparation is out of scope for this file; see ../../link/internal/ld/fips.go for those details. */ package obj import ( "cmd/internal/objabi" "fmt" "internal/bisect" "internal/buildcfg" "log" "os" "strings" ) const enableFIPS = true // IsFIPS reports whether we are compiling one of the crypto/internal/fips140/... packages. func (ctxt *Link) IsFIPS() bool { if strings.HasSuffix(ctxt.Pkgpath, "_test") { // External test packages are outside the FIPS hash scope. // This allows them to use //go:embed, which would otherwise // emit absolute relocations in the global data. return false } return ctxt.Pkgpath == "crypto/internal/fips140" || strings.HasPrefix(ctxt.Pkgpath, "crypto/internal/fips140/") } // bisectFIPS controls bisect-based debugging of FIPS symbol assignment. var bisectFIPS *bisect.Matcher // SetFIPSDebugHash sets the bisect pattern for debugging FIPS changes. // The compiler calls this with the pattern set by -d=fipshash=pattern, // so that if FIPS symbol type conversions are causing problems, // you can use 'bisect -compile fips go test strings' to identify exactly // which symbol is not being handled correctly. func SetFIPSDebugHash(pattern string) { m, err := bisect.New(pattern) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } bisectFIPS = m } // EnableFIPS reports whether FIPS should be enabled at all // on the current buildcfg GOOS and GOARCH. func EnableFIPS() bool { // WASM is out of scope; its binaries are too weird. // I'm not even sure it can read its own code. if buildcfg.GOARCH == "wasm" { return false } // CL 214397 added -buildmode=pie to windows-386 // and made it the default, but the implementation is // not a true position-independent executable. // Instead, it writes tons of relocations into the executable // and leaves the loader to apply them to update the text // segment for the specific address where the code was loaded. // It should instead pass -shared to the compiler to get true // position-independent code, at which point FIPS verification // would work fine.
