If an fsverity builtin signature is given for a file but the
".fs-verity" keyring is empty, there's no real reason to run the PKCS#7
parser. Skip this to avoid the PKCS#7 attack surface when builtin
signature support is configured into the kernel but is not being used.
This is a hardening improvement, not a fix per se, but I've added
Fixes and Cc stable to get it out to more users.

Currently the registration of the fsverity sysctls happens in
signature.c, which couples it to CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES.
This makes it hard to add new sysctls unrelated to builtin signatures.
Also, some users have started checking whether the directory
/proc/sys/fs/verity exists as a way to tell whether fsverity is
supported. This isn't the intended method; instead, the existence of
/sys/fs/$fstype/features/verity should be checked, or users should just
try to use the fsverity ioctls. Regardless, it should be made to work
as expected without a dependency on CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES.
Therefore, move the sysctl registration into init.c. With
CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES, nothing changes. Without it, but
with CONFIG_FS_VERITY, an empty list of sysctls is now registered.

Since CONFIG_FS_VERITY is a bool, not a tristate, fs/verity/ can only be
builtin or absent entirely; it can't be a loadable module. Therefore,
the error code that gets returned from the fsverity_init() initcall is
never used. If any part of the initcall does fail, which should never
happen, the kernel will be left in a bad state.
Following the usual convention for builtin code, just panic the kernel
if any of part of the initcall fails.

fsverity builtin signatures (CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES) aren't
the only way to do signatures with fsverity, and they have some major
limitations. Yet, more users have tried to use them, e.g. recently by
https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/2640. In most cases this seems
to be because users aren't sufficiently familiar with the limitations of
this feature and what the alternatives are.
Therefore, make some updates to the documentation to try to clarify the
properties of this feature and nudge users in the right direction.
Note that the Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE) LSM, which is not yet
upstream, is planned to use the builtin signatures. (This differs from
IMA, which uses its own signature mechanism.) For that reason, my
earlier patch "fsverity: mark builtin signatures as deprecated"
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221208033548.122704-1-ebiggers@kernel.org),
which marked builtin signatures as "deprecated", was controversial.
This patch therefore stops short of marking the feature as deprecated.
I've also revised the language to focus on better explaining the feature
and what its alternatives are.

Address several issues with the calling convention and documentation of
fsverity_get_digest():
- Make it provide the hash algorithm as either a FS_VERITY_HASH_ALG_*
value or HASH_ALGO_* value, at the caller's choice, rather than only a
HASH_ALGO_* value as it did before. This allows callers to work with
the fsverity native algorithm numbers if they want to. HASH_ALGO_* is
what IMA uses, but other users (e.g. overlayfs) should use
FS_VERITY_HASH_ALG_* to match fsverity-utils and the fsverity UAPI.
- Make it return the digest size so that it doesn't need to be looked up
separately. Use the return value for this, since 0 works nicely for
the "file doesn't have fsverity enabled" case. This also makes it
clear that no other errors are possible.
- Rename the 'digest' parameter to 'raw_digest' and clearly document
that it is only useful in combination with the algorithm ID. This
hopefully clears up a point of confusion.
- Export it to modules, since overlayfs will need it for checking the
fsverity digests of lowerdata files

actually returns a bool, (b) reduce the compiled code size slightly, and

bio_first_page_all(bio)->mapping->host is not compatible with large
folios, since the first page of the bio is not necessarily the head page
of the folio, and therefore it might not have the mapping pointer set.
Therefore, move the dereference of ->mapping->host into
verify_data_blocks(), which works with a folio.
(Like the commit that this Fixes, this hasn't actually been tested with
large folios yet, since the filesystems that use fs/verity/ don't
support that yet. But based on code review, I think this is needed.)

The "ahash" API, like the other scatterlist-based crypto APIs such as
"skcipher", comes with some well-known limitations. First, it can't
easily be used with vmalloc addresses. Second, the request struct can't
be allocated on the stack. This adds complexity and a possible failure
point that needs to be worked around, e.g. using a mempool.
The only benefit of ahash over "shash" is that ahash is needed to access
traditional memory-to-memory crypto accelerators, i.e. drivers/crypto/.
However, this style of crypto acceleration has largely fallen out of
favor and been superseded by CPU-based acceleration or inline crypto
engines. Also, ahash needs to be used asynchronously to take full
advantage of such hardware, but fs/verity/ has never done this.
On all systems that aren't actually using one of these ahash-only crypto
accelerators, ahash just adds unnecessary overhead as it sits between
the user and the underlying shash algorithms.
Also, XFS is planned to cache fsverity Merkle tree blocks in the
existing XFS buffer cache. As a result, it will be possible for a
single Merkle tree block to be split across discontiguous pages
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230405233753.GU3223426@dread.disaster.area).
This data will need to be hashed. It is easiest to work with a vmapped
address in this case. However, ahash is incompatible with this.
Therefore, let's convert fs/verity/ from ahash to shash. This
simplifies the code, and it should also slightly improve performance for
everyone who wasn't actually using one of these ahash-only crypto
accelerators, i.e. almost everyone (or maybe even everyone)!

Commit 56124d6c87fd ("fsverity: support enabling with tree block size <
PAGE_SIZE") changed FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY to use __kernel_read() to read
the file's data, instead of direct pagecache accesses.
An unintended consequence of this is that the
'WARN_ON_ONCE(!(file->f_mode & FMODE_READ))' in __kernel_read() became
reachable by fuzz tests. This happens if FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY is called
on a fd opened with access mode 3, which means "ioctl access only".
Arguably, FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY should work on ioctl-only fds. But
ioctl-only fds are a weird Linux extension that is rarely used and that
few people even know about. (The documentation for FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY
even specifically says it requires O_RDONLY.) It's probably not
worthwhile to make the ioctl internally open a new fd just to handle
this case. Thus, just reject the ioctl on such fds for now.

The new Merkle tree construction algorithm is a bit fragile in that it
may overflow the 'root_hash' array if the tree actually generated does
not match the calculated tree parameters.
This should never happen unless there is a filesystem bug that allows
the file size to change despite deny_write_access(), or a bug in the
Merkle tree logic itself. Regardless, it's fairly easy to check for
buffer overflow here, so let's do so.
This is a robustness improvement only; this case is not currently known
to be reachable. I've added a Fixes tag anyway, since I recommend that
this be included in kernels that have the mentioned commit.

The full pagecache drop at the end of FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY is causing
performance problems and is hindering adoption of fsverity. It was
intended to solve a race condition where unverified pages might be left
in the pagecache. But actually it doesn't solve it fully.
Since the incomplete solution for this race condition has too much
performance impact for it to be worth it, let's remove it for now.

WQ_UNBOUND causes significant scheduler latency on ARM64/Android. This
is problematic for latency sensitive workloads, like I/O
post-processing.
Removing WQ_UNBOUND gives a 96% reduction in fsverity workqueue related
scheduler latency and improves app cold startup times by ~30ms.
WQ_UNBOUND was also removed from the dm-verity workqueue for the same
reason [1].
This code was tested by running Android app startup benchmarks and
measuring how long the fsverity workqueue spent in the runnable state.
Before
Total workqueue scheduler latency: 553800us
After
Total workqueue scheduler latency: 18962us

Make FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY support values of
fsverity_enable_arg::block_size other than PAGE_SIZE.
To make this possible, rework build_merkle_tree(), which was reading
data and hash pages from the file and assuming that they were the same
thing as "blocks".
For reading the data blocks, just replace the direct pagecache access
with __kernel_read(), to naturally read one block at a time.
(A disadvantage of the above is that we lose the two optimizations of
hashing the pagecache pages in-place and forcing the maximum readahead.
That shouldn't be very important, though.)
The hash block reads are a bit more difficult to handle, as the only way
to do them is through fsverity_operations::read_merkle_tree_page().
Instead, let's switch to the single-pass tree construction algorithm
that fsverity-utils uses. This eliminates the need to read back any
hash blocks while the tree is being built, at the small cost of an extra
block-sized memory buffer per Merkle tree level. This is probably what
I should have done originally.
Taken together, the above two changes result in page-size independent
code that is also a bit simpler than what we had before.

Add support for verifying data from verity files whose Merkle tree block
size is less than the page size. The main use case for this is to allow
a single Merkle tree block size to be used across all systems, so that
only one set of fsverity file digests and signatures is needed.
To do this, eliminate various assumptions that the Merkle tree block
size and the page size are the same:
- Make fsverity_verify_page() a wrapper around a new function
fsverity_verify_blocks() which verifies one or more blocks in a page.
- When a Merkle tree block is needed, get the corresponding page and
only verify and use the needed portion. (The Merkle tree continues to
be read and cached in page-sized chunks; that doesn't need to change.)
- When the Merkle tree block size and page size differ, use a bitmap
fsverity_info::hash_block_verified to keep track of which Merkle tree
blocks have been verified, as PageChecked cannot be used directly.

Currently, there is an implementation limit where files can't have more
than 8 Merkle tree levels. With SHA-256 and 4K blocks, this limit is
never reached, since a file would need to be larger than 2**64 bytes to
need 9 levels. However, with SHA-512, 9 levels are needed for files
larger than about 1.15 EB, which is possible on btrfs. Therefore, this
limit technically became reachable when btrfs added fsverity support.
Meanwhile, support for merkle_tree_block_size < PAGE_SIZE will introduce
another implementation limit on file size, resulting from the use of an
in-memory bitmap to track which Merkle tree blocks have been verified.
In any case, currently FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY fails with EINVAL when the
file is too large. This is undocumented, and also ambiguous since
EINVAL can mean other things too. Let's change the error code to EFBIG,
which is much clearer, and document it.

fs/verity/ isn't consistent with whether Merkle tree block indices are
'unsigned long' or 'u64'. There's no real point to using u64 for them,
though, since (a) a Merkle tree with over ULONG_MAX blocks would only be
needed for a file larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE, and (b) for reads, the
status of all Merkle tree blocks has to be tracked in memory.
Therefore, let's make things a bit more efficient on 32-bit systems by
using 'unsigned long[]' for merkle_tree_params::level_start, instead of
'u64[]'. Also, to be extra safe, explicitly check that there aren't
more than ULONG_MAX Merkle tree blocks.

As a step towards freeing the PG_error flag for other uses, change ext4
and f2fs to stop using PG_error to track verity errors. Instead, if a
verity error occurs, just mark the whole bio as failed. The coarser
granularity isn't really a problem since it isn't any worse than what
the block layer provides, and errors from a multi-page readahead aren't
reported to applications unless a single-page read fails too.
f2fs supports compression, which makes the f2fs changes a bit more
complicated than desired, but the basic premise still works.
Note: there are still a few uses of PageError in f2fs, but they are on
the write path, so they are unrelated and this patch doesn't touch them.

256M, 32K extents: 4s -> 29ms (~150x)
512M, 64K extents: 30s -> 59ms (~550x)
1G, 128K extents: 225s -> 120ms (~1800x)
- improved inode logging, especially for directories (on dbench
workload throughput +25%, max latency -21%)
- improved buffered IO, remove redundant extent state tracking,
lowering memory consumption and avoiding rb tree traversal
- add sysfs tunable to let qgroup temporarily skip exact accounting
when deleting snapshot, leading to a speedup but requiring a rescan
after that, will be used by snapper
- support io_uring and buffered writes, until now it was just for
direct IO, with the no-wait semantics implemented in the buffered
write path it now works and leads to speed improvement in IOPS
(2x), throughput (2.2x), latency (depends, 2x to 150x)
- small performance improvements when dropping and searching for
extent maps as well as when flushing delalloc in COW mode
(throughput +5MB/s)
User visible changes:
- new incompatible feature block-group-tree adding a dedicated tree
for tracking block groups, this allows a much faster load during
mount and avoids seeking unlike when it's scattered in the extent
tree items
- this reduces mount time for many-terabyte sized filesystems
- conversion tool will be provided so existing filesystem can also
be updated in place
- to reduce test matrix and feature combinations requires no-holes
and free-space-tree (mkfs defaults since 5.15)
- improved reporting of super block corruption detected by scrub
- scrub also tries to repair super block and does not wait until next
commit
- discard stats and tunables are exported in sysfs
(/sys/fs/btrfs/FSID/discard)
- qgroup status is exported in sysfs
(/sys/sys/fs/btrfs/FSID/qgroups/)
- verify that super block was not modified when thawing filesystem
Fixes:
- FIEMAP fixes
- fix extent sharing status, does not depend on the cached status
where merged
- flush delalloc so compressed extents are reported correctly
- fix alignment of VMA for memory mapped files on THP
- send: fix failures when processing inodes with no links (orphan
files and directories)
- fix race between quota enable and quota rescan ioctl
- handle more corner cases for read-only compat feature verification
- fix missed extent on fsync after dropping extent maps
Core:
- lockdep annotations to validate various transactions states and
state transitions
- preliminary support for fs-verity in send
- more effective memory use in scrub for subpage where sector is
smaller than page
- block group caching progress logic has been removed, load is now
synchronous
- simplify end IO callbacks and bio handling, use chained bios
instead of own tracking

Preserve the fs-verity status of a btrfs file across send/recv.
There is no facility for installing the Merkle tree contents directly on
the receiving filesystem, so we package up the parameters used to enable
verity found in the verity descriptor. This gives the receive side
enough information to properly enable verity again. Note that this means
that receive will have to re-compute the whole Merkle tree, similar to
how compression worked before encoded_write.
Since the file becomes read-only after verity is enabled, it is
important that verity is added to the send stream after any file writes.
Therefore, when we process a verity item, merely note that it happened,
then actually create the command in the send stream during
'finish_inode_if_needed'.
This also creates V3 of the send stream format, without any format
changes besides adding the new commands and attributes.

The parameter desc_size in fsverity_create_info() is useless and it is
not referenced anywhere. The greatest meaning of desc_size here is to
indecate the size of struct fsverity_descriptor and futher calculate the
size of signature. However, the desc->sig_size can do it also and it is
indeed, so remove it.
Therefore, it is no need to acquire desc_size by fsverity_get_descriptor()
in ensure_verity_info(), so remove the parameter desc_ret in

If the file size is almost S64_MAX, the calculated number of Merkle tree
levels exceeds FS_VERITY_MAX_LEVELS, causing FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY to
fail. This is unintentional, since as the comment above the definition
of FS_VERITY_MAX_LEVELS states, it is enough for over U64_MAX bytes of
data using SHA-256 and 4K blocks. (Specifically, 4096*128**8 >= 2**64.)
The bug is actually that when the number of blocks in the first level is
calculated from i_size, there is a signed integer overflow due to i_size
being signed. Fix this by treating i_size as unsigned.
This was found by the new test "generic: test fs-verity EFBIG scenarios"
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/b1d116cd4d0ea74b9cd86f349c672021e005a75c.1631558495.git.boris@bur.io).

CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256 denotes the generic C implementation of the SHA-256
shash algorithm, which is selected as the default crypto shash provider
for fsverity. However, fsverity has no strict link time dependency, and
the same shash could be exposed by an optimized implementation, and arm64
has a number of those (scalar, NEON-based and one based on special crypto
instructions). In such cases, it makes little sense to require that the
generic C implementation is incorporated as well, given that it will never
be called.
To address this, relax the 'select' clause to 'imply' so that the generic
driver can be omitted from the build if desired.

Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some
time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or
directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes
with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more
filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and
maintainers.
Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here
are just a few:
- Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between
multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex
scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the
implementation of portable home directories in
systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home
directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple
computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This
effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at
login time.
- It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged
containers without having to change ownership permanently through
chown(2).
- It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to
mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the
user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their
Linux subsystem.
- It is possible to share files between containers with
non-overlapping idmappings.
- Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can
use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC)
permission checking.
- They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount
basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In
contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is
instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when
ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or
container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall
mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of
all files.
- Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as
idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped
to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself
take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It
simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is
especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of
files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home
directory and container and vm scenario.
- Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it
to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only
apply as long as the mount exists.
Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and
pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull
this:
- systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away
in their implementation of portable home directories.
https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/
- container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between
host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged
containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in
containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite
a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734
- The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest
in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is
ported.
- ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers.
I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed
here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the
mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of
talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones:
https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdf
https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/
This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and
xfs:
https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts
It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid
execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and
non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs
setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will
be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to
merge this.
In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with
user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to
map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount.
By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace.
The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not
idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the
testsuite.
Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace
and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all
the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of
introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in
the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users
to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account
whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is
currently marked with.
The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by
passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an
argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new
MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern
of extensibility.
The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped
mount:
- The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the
user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in.
- The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts.
- The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the
idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped.
- The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have
been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag
and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem.
The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the
kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler.
By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no
behavioral or performance changes are observed.
The manpage with a detailed description can be found here:
https://git.kernel.org/brauner/man-pages/c/1d7b902e2875a1ff342e036a9f866a995640aea8
In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed
and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The
patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or
complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and
xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and
will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify
that port has been done correctly.
The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped
mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most
valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform
mounts based on file descriptors only.
Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2()
RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time
we are close to hardened and race-free (e.g. symlinks) mounting and
path resolution.
While userspace has started porting to the new mount api to mount
proper filesystems and create new bind-mounts it is currently not
possible to change mount options of an already existing bind mount in
the new mount api since the mount_setattr() syscall is missing.
With the addition of the mount_setattr() syscall we remove this last
restriction and userspace can now fully port to the new mount api,
covering every use-case the old mount api could. We also add the
crucial ability to recursively change mount options for a whole mount
tree, both removing and adding mount options at the same time. This
syscall has been requested multiple times by various people and
projects.
There is a simple tool available at
https://github.com/brauner/mount-idmapped
that allows to create idmapped mounts so people can play with this
patch series. I'll add support for the regular mount binary should you
decide to pull this in the following weeks:

Add support for FS_VERITY_METADATA_TYPE_SIGNATURE to
FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA. This allows a userspace server program to
retrieve the built-in signature (if present) of a verity file for
serving to a client which implements fs-verity compatible verification.
See the patch which introduced FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA for more
details.
The ability for userspace to read the built-in signatures is also useful
because it allows a system that is using the in-kernel signature
verification to migrate to userspace signature verification.
This has been tested using a new xfstest which calls this ioctl via a
new subcommand for the 'fsverity' program from fsverity-utils.

include the signature which ext4 and f2fs append to the

storing the signature is an implementation detail. The next patch adds

Add support for FS_VERITY_METADATA_TYPE_MERKLE_TREE to
FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA. This allows a userspace server program to
retrieve the Merkle tree of a verity file for serving to a client which
implements fs-verity compatible verification. See the patch which
introduced FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA for more details.
This has been tested using a new xfstest which calls this ioctl via a
new subcommand for the 'fsverity' program from fsverity-utils.

Add an ioctl FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA which will allow reading verity
metadata from a file that has fs-verity enabled, including:
- The Merkle tree
- The fsverity_descriptor (not including the signature if present)
- The built-in signature, if present
This ioctl has similar semantics to pread(). It is passed the type of
metadata to read (one of the above three), and a buffer, offset, and
size. It returns the number of bytes read or an error.
Separate patches will add support for each of the above metadata types.
This patch just adds the ioctl itself.
This ioctl doesn't make any assumption about where the metadata is
stored on-disk. It does assume the metadata is in a stable format, but
that's basically already the case:
- The Merkle tree and fsverity_descriptor are defined by how fs-verity
file digests are computed; see the "File digest computation" section
of Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst. Technically, the way in
which the levels of the tree are ordered relative to each other wasn't
previously specified, but it's logical to put the root level first.
- The built-in signature is the value passed to FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY.
This ioctl is useful because it allows writing a server program that
takes a verity file and serves it to a client program, such that the
client can do its own fs-verity compatible verification of the file.
This only makes sense if the client doesn't trust the server and if the
server needs to provide the storage for the client.
More concretely, there is interest in using this ability in Android to
export APK files (which are protected by fs-verity) to "protected VMs".
This would use Protected KVM (https://lwn.net/Articles/836693), which
provides an isolated execution environment without having to trust the
traditional "host". A "guest" VM can boot from a signed image and
perform specific tasks in a minimum trusted environment using files that
have fs-verity enabled on the host, without trusting the host or
requiring that the guest has its own trusted storage.
Technically, it would be possible to duplicate the metadata and store it
in separate files for serving. However, that would be less efficient
and would require extra care in userspace to maintain file consistency.
In addition to the above, the ability to read the built-in signatures is
useful because it allows a system that is using the in-kernel signature
verification to migrate to userspace signature verification.
