Some firmware support secure boot by embedding static keys to verify the
Linux kernel during boot. However, these firmware do not expose an
interface for the kernel to load firmware keys onto the ".platform"
keyring, preventing the kernel from verifying the kexec kernel image
signature.

This patchset exports load_certificate_list() and defines a new function
load_builtin_platform_cert() to load compiled in certificates onto the
".platform" keyring.

Changelog:
v12:
* Replace Patch 3/4 with reverting of the commit as suggested by
Masahiro Yamada.


Tested the following four patches ov v12 with and with out setting CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS

Tested-by: Nageswara R Sastry <rnsastry@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>


1. With CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS set to a key

# grep pem .config
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS="certs/kernel.pem"
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY="certs/signing_key.pem"
CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS="certs/rhel.pem"

# grep "CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS\|INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYRING\|SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST" .config
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYRING=y
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS="certs/kernel.pem"
# CONFIG_SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST is not set

# cat /proc/keys | grep platform

# keyctl show %keyring:.platform

2. With out CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS set, leaving empty

# grep pem .config
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY="certs/signing_key.pem"
CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS="certs/rhel.pem"

# grep "CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS\|INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYRING\|SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST" .config

CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS=""
