feat: implement RFC 3553 to add SBOM support #13709

justahero · 2024-04-05T11:23:51Z

What does this PR try to resolve?

This PR is an implementation of RFC 3553 to add support to generate pre-cursor SBOM files for compiled artifacts in Cargo.

How should we test and review this PR?

The RFC 3553 adds a new option to Cargo to emit SBOM pre-cursor files. A project can be configured either by the new Cargo config field sbom.

# .cargo/config.toml
[build]
sbom = true

or using the environment variable CARGO_BUILD_SBOM=true. The sbom option is an unstable feature and requires the -Zsbom flag to enable it.

Check out this branch & compile Cargo. Pick a Cargo project to test it on, then run:

CARGO_BUILD_SBOM=true <path/to/compiled/cargo>/target/debug/cargo build -Zsbom

All generated *.cargo-sbom.json files are located in the target folder alongside their artifacts. To list all generated files use:

find ./target -name "*.cargo-sbom.json"

then check their content. To see the current output format, see these examples.

What does the PR not solve?

The PR leaves a task(s) open that are either out of scope or should be done in a follow-up PRs.

does not address Duplicate artifact tracking issue. #6313 (see comment)

Additional information

There are a few things that I would like to get feedback on, in particular the generated JSON format is not final. Currently it holds the information listed in the RFC 3553, but it could be further enriched with information only available during builds.

During the implementation a number of questions arose.

Is using the UnitGraph the right structure to determine all dependencies?
Is the location in the compile method to generate the SBOM files appropriate?
Is there important information missing from the generated output, some fields that should be omitted?
How best to check JSON output in the related tests in testsuite, are useful tests missing?
Are custom build script dependencies correctly resolved?

Thanks @arlosi, @RobJellinghaus and @lfrancke for initial guidance & feedback.

Much respect for your contribution.

From my kind reminders, it seems appropriate to modify the documentation of the corresponding sections, e.g. Configuration, Environment Variables.

weihanglo · 2024-04-07T14:35:13Z

Thanks for the reminder, @heisen-li. Would love to see a doc update, though we should probably focus on the design discussion first, as the location of the configuration is not yet decided. (See rust-lang/rfcs#3553 (comment)).

epage · 2024-04-09T16:02:21Z

One approach for the docs (if this is looking to be merged) is to put the env and config documentation fragments in the Unstable docs.

+    assert_eq!(
+        1,
+        p.glob(p.target_debug_dir().join("libfoo.cargo-sbom.json"))


I guess we might need to deal with different naming convention on different platform. (Windows specifically?)

Maybe the glob call can be simplified in a way that it works for all platforms.

Just note that I reviewed this as-is, didn't really think too much for the design itself. Thank you for working on this!

Now I like the idea of having this PR to explore SBOM format. I'll post back issues we've found so far to the RFC. Thank you :)

Do we need a dependencies field for this top-level Sbom?

(Just a question. I don't really know if other SBOM formats need it to recover the dependency graph)

Ideally, yes. Copying my comment from the RFC:

Note that there are two ways of looking at dependencies: what each package needs, and the final resolved graph.

For example, if one package depends on rand with features = ["std", "getrandom"], and another with features = ["std", "simd_support"], the final resolved features will be ["std", "getrandom", "simd_support"]. Depending on the use case you may need either or both representations (direct package dependencies and the resolved graph).

cargo metadata exposes both (under "packages" and "resolve" fields), but inaccurately:

cargo-metadata always resolves features at the workspace level #7754

Under resolver v2, it conflates the normal and build-dependency trees

I think it would be best for the SBOM to also expose both, accurately this time.

So what I would like to see is two resolved dependency trees: one for normal dependencies and one for build dependencies, matching the way feature resolver v2 works.

I'm concerned with what happens when a crate is compiled two different ways under resolver v2. For example, once as a build dependency and once as a normal dependency. In this list of dependencies how would we tell the two entries apart?

Would it be better for the dependencies to be a sequence of indicies into the packages list?

I'd also really like to see a test of this case.

Hello @arlosi ,

I refactored the code that collects all packages & their dependencies. First all packages are collected, then for each package the indices of its dependencies are determined. It simplifies the serialization code slightly. Would like to get your feedback, if this is what you had in mind.

Similar to the generation of `depinfo` files, a function is called to generated SBOM precursor file named `output_sbom`. It takes the `BuildRunner` & the current `Unit`. The `sbom` flag can be specified as a cargo build option, but it's currently not configured fully. To test the generation the flag is set to `true`. * use SBOM types to serialize data Output source, profile & dependencies Trying to fetch all dependencies This ignores dependencies for custom build scripts. The output should be similar to what `cargo tree` reports. Output package dependencies This is similar to what the `cargo metadata` command outputs. Extract logic to fetch sbom output files This extracts the logic to get the list of SBOM output file paths into its own function in `BuildRunner` for a given Unit. Add test file to check sbom output * add test to check project with bin & lib * extract sbom config into helper function Add build type to dependency Add test to read JSON Still needs to check output. Guard sbom logic behind unstable feature Add test with custom build script Integrate review feedback * disable `sbom` config when `-Zsbom` is not passed as unstable option * refactor tests * add test Expand end-to-end tests This expands the tests to reflect end-to-end tests by comparing the generated JSON output files with expected strings. * add test helper to compare actual & expected JSON content * refactor setup of packages in test Add 'sbom' section to unstable features doc Append SBOM file suffix instead of replacing Instead of replacing the file extension, the `.cargo-sbom.json` suffix is appended to the output file. This is to keep existing file extensions in place. * refactor logic to set `sbom` property from build config * expand build script related test to check JSON output Integrate review feedback * use `PackageIdSpec` instead of only `PackageId` in SBOM output * change `version` of a dependency to `Option<Version>` * output `Vec<CrateType>` instead of only the first found crate type * output rustc workspace wrapper * update 'warning' string in test using `[WARNING]` * use `serde_json::to_writer` to serialize SBOM * set sbom suffix in tests explicitely, instead of using `with_extension` Output additional fields to JSON In case a unit's profile differs from the profile information on root level, it's added to the package information to the JSON output. The verbose output for `rustc -vV` is also written to the `rustc` field in the SBOM. * rename `fetch_packages` to `collect_packages` * update JSON in tests to include profile information Add test to check multiple crate types Add test to check artifact name conflict Use SbomProfile to wrap Profile type This adds the `SbomProfile` to convert the existing `Profile` into, to expose relevant fields. For now it removes the `strip` field, while serializing all other fields. It should keep the output consistent, even when fields in the `Profile` change, e.g. new field added. Document package profile * only export `profile` field in case it differs from root profile Add test to check different features The added test uses a crate with multiple features. The main crate uses the dependency in the normal build & the custom build script with different features. Refactor storing of package dependencies All dependencies for a package are indices into the `packages` list now. This sets the correct association between a dependency & its associated package. * remove `SbomDependency` struct Refactor tests to use snapbox
