[RFC v1 05/12] firmware: add firmware signature checking support

From: Luis R. Rodriguez
Date: Tue May 05 2015 - 20:57:41 EST

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx>

Systems that have module signing currently enabled may
wish to extend vetting of firmware passed to the kernel
as well. We can re-use most of the code for module signing
for firmware signature verification and signing. This will
also later enable re-use of this same code for subsystems
that wish to provide their own cryptographic verification
mechanisms on userspace data needed.

As with module signing, we do a very simple search for a
particular string appended to the firmware. There's both a
config option and a boot parameter which control whether we
accept or fail with unsigned firmware and firmware that are
signed with an unknown key.

If firmware signing is enabled, the kernel will be tainted
if a firmware is loaded that is unsigned or has a signature
for which we don't have the key.
