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).
