evm: Allow non-SHA1 digital signatures

SHA1 is reasonable in HMAC constructs, but it's desirable to be able to use stronger hashes in digital signatures. Modify the EVM crypto code so the hash type is imported from the digital signature and passed down to the hash calculation code, and return the digest size to higher layers for validation.

Oh bother - I think I see what's wrong. Does this version work better? I'm afraid I only tested against signatures rather than HMACs, and I was generating a raw SHA1 rather than an HMAC :(

That's a lot better!

FYI, Wang Junwen reported a problem with enabling EVM with just the immutable and portable keys. Without trusted keys enabled, SHA1 isn't being built into the kernel. Loading the SHA1 kernel module fails.
Without knowing apriori which hash algorithms need to be builtin is a
problem.

if we need fix this problem
1. load the hash algorithm at initial time instead of runtime OR
2. avoid the crypto_alloc_shash try to load modules in init_desc

this pretty good, now ima_appraise & evm working well on my machine thank you, Matthew :)

??: [email protected]; Matthew Garrett; Wang,Junwen ??: [PATCH] evm: Don't deadlock if a crypto algorithm is unavailable

Does this help?

Trying to instantiate a non-existent crypto algorithm will cause the kernel to trigger a module load. If EVM appraisal is enabled, this will in turn trigger appraisal of the module, which will fail because the crypto algorithm isn't available. Add a CRYPTO_NOLOAD flag and skip module loading if it's set, and add that flag in the EVM case.

Cool. Mimi, does this satisfy your concerns with the non-SHA1 patch?

This should be posted as a separate patch, with the appropriate "Fixes" commit info. It requires an ack from Herbert Xu.

The non-sha1 patch doesn't seem to be in -next at the moment - should I wait for you to merge that so I can add the fixes tag?

The problem exists prior to the non-sha1 patch, but could have been resolved differently for only sha1 (eg. Kconfig requiring sha1). The non-sha1 patch requires a different solution.

EVM looks like it SELECTs CONFIG_SHA1, so I /think/ it should be ok before that patch?

According to Junwen, with CONFIG_TRUSTED_KEYS enabled the HMAC and SHA1 are allocated at __init. The locking problem occurs when CONFIG_TRUSTED_KEYS is not enabled. His solution would have been to move the crypto_alloc_shash() in EVM to an __init function.

Ok - I think just allowing it to be deferred is preferable, since otherwise we'd have to build in every hash algorithm that could be used for the signatures (which wasn't a problem before the non-sha1 patch). How would you prefer me to send these two? The non-sha1 patch isn't in -next, so I can't add a fixes: for it at this point.
