2013-12-10KEYS: correct alignment of system_certificate_list content in assembly fileHendrik Brueckner
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.

2013-10-30kernel/system_certificate.S: use real contents instead of macro GLOBAL()Chen Gang
If a macro is only used within 2 times, and also its contents are within 2 lines, recommend to expand it to shrink code line. For our case, the macro is not portable either: some architectures' assembler may use another character to mark newline in a macro (e.g. '`' for arc), which will cause issue. If still want to use macro and let it portable enough, it will also need include additional header file (e.g "#include <linux/linkage.h>", although it also need be fixed).

2013-09-25KEYS: Separate the kernel signature checking keyring from module signingDavid Howells
Separate the kernel signature checking keyring from module signing so that it can be used by code other than the module-signing code. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
