Sudhakar Kuppusamy 069f3614e6 appended signatures: Support verifying appended signatures
Building on the parsers and the ability to embed X.509 certificates, as well
as the existing gcrypt functionality, add a module for verifying appended
signatures.

This includes a signature verifier that requires that the Linux kernel and
GRUB modules have appended signatures for verification.

Signature verification must be enabled by setting check_appended_signatures.
If secure boot is enabled with enforce mode when the appendedsig module is
loaded, signature verification will be enabled, and trusted keys will be
extracted from the GRUB ELF Note and stored in the db and locked automatically.

Sudhakar Kuppusamy f8e8779d8e powerpc/ieee1275: Enter lockdown based on /ibm, secure-boot
Read secure boot mode from 'ibm,secure-boot' property and if the secure boot
mode is set to 2 (enforce), enter lockdown. Else it is considered as disabled.
There are three secure boot modes. They are

0 - disabled
     No signature verification is performed. This is the default.
1 - audit
     Signature verification is performed and if signature verification fails,
     display the errors and allow the boot to continue.
2 - enforce
     Lockdown the GRUB. Signature verification is performed and if signature
     verification fails, display the errors and stop the boot.

Now, only support disabled and enforce.

Sudhakar Kuppusamy e95c52f1f4 appended signatures: Parse X.509 certificates
This code allows us to parse:

 - X.509 certificates: at least enough to verify the signatures on the PKCS#7
   messages. We expect that the certificates embedded in GRUB will be leaf
   certificates, not CA certificates. The parser enforces this.

 - X.509 certificates support the Extended Key Usage extension and handle it by
   verifying that the certificate has a Code Signing usage.

Sudhakar Kuppusamy a337549797 appended signatures: Parse PKCS#7 signed data
This code allows us to parse:

 - PKCS#7 signed data messages. Only a single signer info is supported, which
   is all that the Linux sign-file utility supports creating out-of-the-box.
   Only RSA, SHA-256 and SHA-512 are supported. Any certificate embedded in
   the PKCS#7 message will be ignored.

Sudhakar Kuppusamy 3e4ff6ffb3 appended signatures: Parse ASN1 node
This code allows us to parse ASN1 node and allocating memory to store it.
It will work for anything where the size libtasn1 returns is right:
 - Integers
 - Octet strings
 - DER encoding of other structures

It will _not_ work for things where libtasn1 size requires adjustment:
 - Strings that require an extra NULL byte at the end
 - Bit strings because libtasn1 returns the length in bits, not bytes.

If the function returns a non-NULL value, the caller must free it.

Sudhakar Kuppusamy 7d28bdb0b2 appended signatures: Import GNUTLS's ASN.1 description files
In order to parse PKCS#7 messages and X.509 certificates with libtasn1, we need
some information about how they are encoded. We get these from GNUTLS, which has
the benefit that they support the features we need and are well tested.

The GNUTLS files are from:

- https://github.com/gnutls/gnutls/blob/master/lib/gnutls.asn
- https://github.com/gnutls/gnutls/blob/master/lib/pkix.asn

The GNUTLS license is LGPLv2.1+, which is GPLv3 compatible, allowing us to import
it without issue.

Sudhakar Kuppusamy 1fca5f397a grub-install: Support embedding x509 certificates
To support verification of appended signatures, we need a way to embed the
necessary public keys. Existing appended signature schemes in the Linux kernel
use X.509 certificates, so allow certificates to be embedded in the GRUB core
image in the same way as PGP keys.

Sudhakar Kuppusamy 31cc7dfe50 powerpc/ieee1275: Add support for signing GRUB with an appended signature
Add infrastructure to allow firmware to verify the integrity of GRUB
by use of a Linux-kernel-module-style appended signature. We initially
target powerpc-ieee1275, but the code should be extensible to other
platforms.

Usually these signatures are appended to a file without modifying the
ELF file itself. (This is what the 'sign-file' tool does, for example.)
The verifier loads the signed file from the file system and looks at the
end of the file for the appended signature. However, on powerpc-ieee1275
platforms, the bootloader is often stored directly in the PReP partition
as raw bytes without a file-system. This makes determining the location
of an appended signature more difficult.

To address this, we add a new ELF Note.

The name field of shall be the string "Appended-Signature", zero-padded
to 4 byte alignment. The type field shall be 0x41536967 (the ASCII values
for the string "ASig"). It must be the final section in the ELF binary.

The description shall contain the appended signature structure as defined
by the Linux kernel. The description will also be padded to be a multiple
of 4 bytes. The padding shall be added before the appended signature
structure (not at the end) so that the final bytes of a signed ELF file
are the appended signature magic.

A subsequent patch documents how to create a GRUB core.img validly signed
under this scheme.

Sudhakar Kuppusamy e40b83335b fs/f2fs: Do not copy file names that are too long
A corrupt f2fs file system might specify a name length which is greater
than the maximum name length supported by the GRUB f2fs driver.

We will allocate enough memory to store the overly long name, but there
are only F2FS_NAME_LEN bytes in the source, so we would read past the end
of the source.

While checking directory entries, do not copy a file name with an invalid
length.

Sudhakar Kuppusamy deae293f39 fs/f2fs: Do not read past the end of nat bitmap
A corrupt f2fs filesystem could have a block offset or a bitmap
offset that would cause us to read beyond the bounds of the nat
bitmap.

Introduce the nat_bitmap_size member in grub_f2fs_data which holds
the size of nat bitmap.

Set the size when loading the nat bitmap in nat_bitmap_ptr(), and
catch when an invalid offset would create a pointer past the end of
the allocated space.

Check against the bitmap size in grub_f2fs_test_bit() test bit to avoid
reading past the end of the nat bitmap.
