[PATCH 00/17] KEYS: PKCS#7 and PE file signature checking for kexec

Here's a set of patches that implements signature checking on PKCS#7 message
and PE files in the kernel.

The intention is to use the PE file signature checker to validate binaries
passed to kexec().  This signature in a PE file involves a PKCS#7 message.  The
code attempts to follow the certificate chain back to a ring of public keys
in the kernel.

The PKCS#7 patches provide the following facility:

 (1) Parse an ASN.1 PKCS#7 message and pick out useful bits such as the data
     content and the X.509 certificates used to sign it and all the data
     signatures.

 (2) Verify all the data signatures against the set of X.509 certificates
     available in the message.

 (3) Follow the certificate chains and verify that:

     (a) for every self-signed X.509 certificate, check that it validly signed
     	 itself, and:

     (b) for every non-self-signed certificate, if we have a 'parent'
     	 certificate, the former is validly signed by the latter.

 (4) Look for intersections between the certificate chains and the trusted
     keyring, if any intersections are found, verify that the trusted
     certificates signed the intersection point in the chain.

 (5) For testing purposes, a key type can be made available that will take a
     PKCS#7 message, check that the message is trustworthy, and if so, add its
     data content into the key.

The commits can be found on this branch also:

	http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-modsign.git/log/?h=pkcs7

and are tagged with:

	keys-pkcs7-20140708

The PE file patches provide the following facility:

 (1) Extract the signature from the PE file.  This is a PKCS#7 message
     containing, as its data, a hash of the signed parts of the file.

 (2) Digest the signed parts of the file.

 (3) Compare the digest with the one from the PKCS#7 message.

 (4) Verify that the PKCS#7 message intersects with the keys in the keyring.
