7f68c71952 appended signatures: GRUB commands to manage the hashes
Introducing the following GRUB commands to manage certificate/binary
hashes.

  1. append_list_dbx:
      Show the list of distrusted certificates and binary/certificate
      hashes from the dbx list.
  2. append_add_db_hash:
      Add the trusted binary hash to the db list.
  3. append_add_dbx_hash:
      Add the distrusted certificate/binary hash to the dbx list.

Note that if signature verification (check_appended_signatures) is set to yes,
the append_add_db_hash and append_add_dbx_hash commands only accept the file
‘hash_file’ that is signed with an appended signature.

6cb58b1c9e appended signatures: GRUB commands to manage the certificates
Introducing the following GRUB commands to manage the certificates.

 1. append_list_db:
      Show the list of trusted certificates from the db list
 2. append_add_db_cert:
      Add the trusted certificate to the db list
 3. append_add_dbx_cert:
      Add the distrusted certificate to the dbx list
 4. append_verify:
      Verify the signed file using db list

Note that if signature verification (check_appended_signatures) is set to yes,
the append_add_db_cert and append_add_dbx_cert commands only accept the file
‘X509_certificate’ that is signed with an appended signature.

ab7b177178 appended signatures: Using db and dbx lists for signature verification
Signature verification: verify the kernel against lists of hashes that are
either in dbx or db list. If it is not in the dbx list then the trusted keys
from the db list are used to verify the signature.

97f7001e19 appended signatures: Create db and dbx lists
If secure boot is enabled with static key management mode, the trusted
certificates will be extracted from the GRUB ELF Note and added to db list.

If secure boot is enabled with dynamic key management mode, the trusted
certificates and certificate/binary hash will be extracted from the PKS
and added to db list. The distrusted certificates, certificate/binary hash
are read from the PKS and added to dbx list. Both dbx and db lists usage is
added by a subsequent patch.

Note:
- If db does not exist in the PKS storage, then read the static keys as a db
  default keys from the GRUB ELF Note and add them into the db list.
- If the certificate or the certificate hash exists in the dbx list, then do not
  add that certificate/certificate hash to the db list.

b5e872417d appended signatures: Introducing key management environment variable
Introducing the appended signature key management environment variable. It is
automatically set to either "static" or "dynamic" based on the Platform KeyStore.

"static": Enforce static key management signature verification. This is the
          default. When the GRUB is locked down, user cannot change the value
          by setting the appendedsig_key_mgmt variable back to "dynamic".

"dynamic": Enforce dynamic key management signature verification. When the GRUB
           is locked down, user cannot change the value by setting the
           appendedsig_key_mgmt variable back to "static".

069f3614e6 appended signatures: Support verifying appended signatures
Building on the parsers and the ability to embed X.509 certificates, as well
as the existing gcrypt functionality, add a module for verifying appended
signatures.

This includes a signature verifier that requires that the Linux kernel and
GRUB modules have appended signatures for verification.

Signature verification must be enabled by setting check_appended_signatures.
If secure boot is enabled with enforce mode when the appendedsig module is
loaded, signature verification will be enabled, and trusted keys will be
extracted from the GRUB ELF Note and stored in the db and locked automatically.
