Extend LoadPin to allow loading of kernel files from trusted dm-verity [1]
devices.
This change adds the concept of trusted verity devices to LoadPin. LoadPin
maintains a list of root digests of verity devices it considers trusted.
Userspace can populate this list through an ioctl on the new LoadPin
securityfs entry 'dm-verity'. The ioctl receives a file descriptor of
a file with verity digests as parameter. Verity reads the digests from
this file after confirming that the file is located on the pinned root.
The digest file must contain one digest per line. The list of trusted
digests can only be set up once, which is typically done at boot time.
When a kernel file is read LoadPin first checks (as usual) whether the file
is located on the pinned root, if so the file can be loaded. Otherwise, if
the verity extension is enabled, LoadPin determines whether the file is
located on a verity backed device and whether the root digest of that
device is in the list of trusted digests. The file can be loaded if the
verity device has a trusted root digest.
Background:
As of now LoadPin restricts loading of kernel files to a single pinned
filesystem, typically the rootfs. This works for many systems, however it
can result in a bloated rootfs (and OTA updates) on platforms where
multiple boards with different hardware configurations use the same rootfs
image. Especially when 'optional' files are large it may be preferable to
download/install them only when they are actually needed by a given board.
Chrome OS uses Downloadable Content (DLC) [2] to deploy certain 'packages'
at runtime. As an example a DLC package could contain firmware for a
peripheral that is not present on all boards. DLCs use dm-verity to verify
the integrity of the DLC content.

Changes in v5:
- call dm_verity_loadpin_is_sb_trusted() instead of
dm_verity_loadpin_is_bdev_trusted()
- added 'Acked-by' tag from Kees
Changes in v4:
- use newline as separator in digest file instead of comma
- after reading an invalid/corrupt digest file deny further attempts
of setting up the list of digests
- added comment to read_trusted_verity_root_digests() explaining that
an invalid digests entry invalidates the entire list of digests
- refactored read_trusted_verity_root_digests() to avoid cast of 'data' at
assignment
- add the format of the digest file and the path of the securityfs
attribute to the ioctl comment.
- adapted to struct trusted_root_digest with unsized array 'data'
- call dm_verity_loadpin_is_sb_trusted() instead of
loadpin_is_fs_trusted()
- deleted loadpin_is_fs_trusted()
- use '%ld' in format string for PTR_ERR()
- added note about digest file format to the commit message
Changes in v3:
- added securityfs for LoadPin (currently only populated when
CONFIG_SECURITY_LOADPIN_VERITY=y)
- added uapi include for LoadPin
- changed the interface for setting up the list of trusted
digests from sysctl to ioctl on securityfs entry
- added stub for loadpin_is_fs_trusted() to be used
CONFIG_SECURITY_LOADPIN_VERITY is not select
- depend on CONFIG_SECURITYFS instead of CONFIG_SYSTCL
- updated Kconfig help
- minor changes in read_trusted_verity_root_digests()
- updated commit message
Changes in v2:
- userspace now passes the path of the file with the verity digests
via systcl, instead of the digests themselves
- renamed sysctl file to 'trusted_verity_root_digests_path'
- have CONFIG_SECURITY_LOADPIN_VERITY depend on CONFIG_SYSCTL
- updated Kconfig doc
- updated commit message
