Tom Rini 6ea67890d0 Merge patch series "boot: fit: authenticate the dm-verity roothash"
Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org> says:

A signed FIT configuration can delegate the integrity of a (potentially
large) root filesystem image to the kernel's dm-verity instead of having
U-Boot hash the whole payload at boot: the FIT carries a "dm-verity"
subnode with the roothash, salt and block parameters, U-Boot passes the
roothash to Linux through the dm-mod.create bootargs, and dm-verity then
validates the filesystem block by block against it.

For that to be safe the roothash has to be trusted, and in a signed
configuration the only thing that establishes trust is the configuration
signature. The roothash was not covered by it. fit_config_add_hash()
collected the image node, its hash subnodes and its cipher subnode into
the signed region, but not the dm-verity subnode, so the roothash, the
sole integrity anchor for the filesystem, was left unsigned.

The result is a verified-boot bypass for the root filesystem: an
attacker who can rewrite the boot medium can replace the filesystem,
recompute a matching dm-verity tree, write the new roothash into the
unsigned dm-verity subnode, and the configuration signature still
verifies. dm-verity then faithfully validates the malicious filesystem
against the attacker's roothash.

This series closes the gap.

This patch series adds support for ZFS listing and load to u-boot.

To Enable zfs ls and load commands, modify the board specific config file with
#define CONFIG_CMD_ZFS

Steps to test:

1. After applying the patch, zfs specific commands can be seen
   in the boot loader prompt using
	UBOOT #help

	zfsload- load binary file from a ZFS file system
	zfsls  - list files in a directory (default /)

2. To list the files in zfs pool, device or partition, execute
	zfsls <interface> <dev[:part]> [POOL/@/dir/file]
	For example:
	UBOOT #zfsls mmc 0:5 /rpool/@/usr/bin/

3. To read and load a file from an ZFS formatted partition to RAM, execute
	zfsload <interface> <dev[:part]> [addr] [filename] [bytes]
	For example:
	UBOOT #zfsload mmc 2:2 0x30007fc0 /rpool/@/boot/uImage
