    dm verity: add support for signature verification with platform keyring · 6fce1f40
    Luca Boccassi authored
    Add a new configuration CONFIG_DM_VERITY_VERIFY_ROOTHASH_SIG_PLATFORM_KEYRING
    that enables verifying dm-verity signatures using the platform keyring,
    which is populated using the UEFI DB certificates. This is useful for
    self-enrolled systems that do not use MOK, as the secondary keyring which
    is already used for verification, if the relevant kconfig is enabled, is
    linked to the machine keyring, which gets its certificates loaded from MOK.
    On datacenter/virtual/cloud deployments it is more common to deploy one's
    own certificate chain directly in DB on first boot in unattended mode,
    rather than relying on MOK, as the latter typically requires interactive
    authentication to enroll, and is more suited for personal machines.
    
    Default to the same value as DM_VERITY_VERIFY_ROOTHASH_SIG_SECONDARY_KEYRING
    if not otherwise specified, as it is likely that if one wants to use
    MOK certificates to verify dm-verity volumes, DB certificates are
    going to be used too. Keys in DB are allowed to load a full kernel
    already anyway, so they are already highly privileged.
