fs-verity: support builtin file signatures

2019-08-13T02:33:50Z

To meet some users' needs, add optional support for having fs-verity handle a portion of the authentication policy in the kernel. An ".fs-verity" keyring is created to which X.509 certificates can be added; then a sysctl 'fs.verity.require_signatures' can be set to cause the kernel to enforce that all fs-verity files contain a signature of their file measurement by a key in this keyring. See the "Built-in signature verification" section of Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst for the full documentation. Reviewed-by: Theodore Ts'o Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers

fs-verity: add data verification hooks for ->readpages()

2019-07-28T23:59:16Z

Add functions that verify data pages that have been read from a fs-verity file, against that file's Merkle tree. These will be called from filesystems' ->readpage() and ->readpages() methods. Since data verification can block, a workqueue is provided for these methods to enqueue verification work from their bio completion callback. See the "Verifying data" section of Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst for more information. Reviewed-by: Theodore Ts'o Reviewed-by: Jaegeuk Kim Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers
