Merge tag 'vfs-7.4-rc1.keyring' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs keyring updates from Christian Brauner: "The kernel has two keyrings that userspace fills with X.509 certificates at boot: .fs-verity for fs-verity built-in signatures and .dm-verity for dm-verity root hash signatures. Neither is linked into any process keyring. Hence, request_key() and KEYCTL_SEARCH can't find them. The only way for userspace to identify them is to read their serial number out of /proc/keys. That is not just a large file often the names can also be reused and appear multiple times which allows forging these keyrings. This adds two fixed special key ids, KEY_SPEC_DM_VERITY_KEYRING and KEY_SPEC_FS_VERITY_KEYRING next to KEY_SPEC_BPF_KEYRING. The latter went in through bpf-next this merge window. lookup_user_key() resolves the fixed key ids to the two keyrings. So userspace can add a dm-verity (fixed keyring id: -10) certificate with keyctl padd asymmetric "" -10 < cert.der and seal the keyring with keyctl restrict_keyring -10 without looking anything up first" * tag 'vfs-7.4-rc1.keyring' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: Documentation: keys: document IDs added since KEY_SPEC_REQKEY_AUTH_KEY keys: add KEY_SPEC_FS_VERITY_KEYRING keys: add KEY_SPEC_DM_VERITY_KEYRING
