[RFC PATCH 05/10] fs-verity: add SHA-512 support

From: Eric Biggers
Date: Fri Aug 24 2018 - 12:23:37 EST


From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add SHA-512 support to fs-verity. This is primarily a demonstration of
the (small) changes needed to support a new hash algorithm; it's
anticipated that most users will still prefer SHA-256 due to the smaller
space required to store the hashes, though some may prefer SHA-512.
