Subject: [PATCH] Add suport 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.

You can experiment with this code with a patched version of SLOF

that verifies these signatures. You can find one at:

   https://github.com/daxtens/SLOF

I will be proposing this for inclusion in a future Power Architecture

Platform Reference (PAPR).
