Hendrik Brueckner 62226983da KEYS: correct alignment of system_certificate_list content in assembly file
Apart from data-type specific alignment constraints, there are also
architecture-specific alignment requirements.
For example, on s390 symbols must be on even addresses implying a 2-byte
alignment.  If the system_certificate_list_end symbol is on an odd address
and if this address is loaded, the least-significant bit is ignored.  As a
result, the load_system_certificate_list() fails to load the certificates
because of a wrong certificate length calculation.

To be safe, align system_certificate_list on an 8-byte boundary.  Also improve
the length calculation of the system_certificate_list content.  Introduce a
system_certificate_list_size (8-byte aligned because of unsigned long) variable
that stores the length.  Let the linker calculate this size by introducing
a start and end label for the certificate content.

Mimi Zohar af34cb0c3d KEYS: Make the system 'trusted' keyring viewable by userspace
Give the root user the ability to read the system keyring and put read
permission on the trusted keys added during boot.  The latter is actually more
theoretical than real for the moment as asymmetric keys do not currently
provide a read operation.

David Howells 008643b86c KEYS: Add a 'trusted' flag and a 'trusted only' flag
Add KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED to indicate that a key either comes from a trusted source
or had a cryptographic signature chain that led back to a trusted key the
kernel already possessed.

Add KEY_FLAGS_TRUSTED_ONLY to indicate that a keyring will only accept links to
keys marked with KEY_FLAGS_TRUSTED.

David Howells b56e5a17b6 KEYS: Separate the kernel signature checking keyring from module signing
Separate the kernel signature checking keyring from module signing so that it
can be used by code other than the module-signing code.
