Now that fsverity_get_descriptor() validates the sig_size field,
fsverity_verify_signature() doesn't need to do it.
Just change the prototype of fsverity_verify_signature() to take the
signature directly rather than take a fsverity_descriptor.

The FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA ioctl will need to return the fs-verity
descriptor (and signature) to userspace.
There are a few ways we could implement this:
- Save a copy of the descriptor (and signature) in the fsverity_info
struct that hangs off of the in-memory inode. However, this would
waste memory since most of the time it wouldn't be needed.
- Regenerate the descriptor from the merkle_tree_params in the
fsverity_info. However, this wouldn't work for the signature, nor for
the salt which the merkle_tree_params only contains indirectly as part
of the 'hashstate'. It would also be error-prone.
- Just get them from the filesystem again. The disadvantage is that in
general we can't trust that they haven't been maliciously changed
since the file has opened. However, the use cases for
FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA don't require that it verifies the chain
of trust. So this is okay as long as we do some basic validation.
In preparation for implementing the third option, factor out a helper
function fsverity_get_descriptor() which gets the descriptor (and
appended signature) from the filesystem and does some basic validation.
As part of this, start checking the sig_size field for overflow.
Currently fsverity_verify_signature() does this. But the new ioctl will
need this too, so do it earlier.

I originally chose the name "file measurement" to refer to the fs-verity
file digest to avoid confusion with traditional full-file digests or
with the bare root hash of the Merkle tree.
But the name "file measurement" hasn't caught on, and usually people are
calling it something else, usually the "file digest". E.g. see
"struct fsverity_digest" and "struct fsverity_formatted_digest", the
libfsverity_compute_digest() and libfsverity_sign_digest() functions in
libfsverity, and the "fsverity digest" command.
Having multiple names for the same thing is always confusing.
So to hopefully avoid confusion in the future, rename
"fs-verity file measurement" to "fs-verity file digest".
This leaves FS_IOC_MEASURE_VERITY as the only reference to "measure" in
the kernel, which makes some amount of sense since the ioctl is actively
"measuring" the file.
I'll be renaming this in fsverity-utils too (though similarly the
'fsverity measure' command, which is a wrapper for
FS_IOC_MEASURE_VERITY, will stay).

Normally smp_store_release() or cmpxchg_release() is paired with
smp_load_acquire(). Sometimes smp_load_acquire() can be replaced with
the more lightweight READ_ONCE(). However, for this to be safe, all the
published memory must only be accessed in a way that involves the
pointer itself. This may not be the case if allocating the object also
involves initializing a static or global variable, for example.
fsverity_info::tree_params.hash_alg->tfm is a crypto_ahash object that's
internal to and is allocated by the crypto subsystem. So by using
READ_ONCE() for ->i_verity_info, we're relying on internal
implementation details of the crypto subsystem.
Remove this fragile assumption by using smp_load_acquire() instead.
Also fix the cmpxchg logic to correctly execute an ACQUIRE barrier when
losing the cmpxchg race, since cmpxchg doesn't guarantee a memory
barrier on failure.
(Note: I haven't seen any real-world problems here. This change is just
fixing the code to be guaranteed correct and less fragile.)

When initializing an fs-verity hash algorithm, also initialize a mempool
that contains a single preallocated hash request object. Then replace
the direct calls to ahash_request_alloc() and ahash_request_free() with
allocating and freeing from this mempool.
This eliminates the possibility of the allocation failing, which is
desirable for the I/O path.
This doesn't cause deadlocks because there's no case where multiple hash
requests are needed at a time to make forward progress.

When fs-verity verifies data pages, currently it reads each Merkle tree
page synchronously using read_mapping_page().
Therefore, when the Merkle tree pages aren't already cached, fs-verity
causes an extra 4 KiB I/O request for every 512 KiB of data (assuming
that the Merkle tree uses SHA-256 and 4 KiB blocks). This results in
more I/O requests and performance loss than is strictly necessary.
Therefore, implement readahead of the Merkle tree pages.
For simplicity, we take advantage of the fact that the kernel already
does readahead of the file's *data*, just like it does for any other
file. Due to this, we don't really need a separate readahead state
(struct file_ra_state) just for the Merkle tree, but rather we just need
to piggy-back on the existing data readahead requests.
We also only really need to bother with the first level of the Merkle
tree, since the usual fan-out factor is 128, so normally over 99% of
Merkle tree I/O requests are for the first level.
Therefore, make fsverity_verify_bio() enable readahead of the first
Merkle tree level, for up to 1/4 the number of pages in the bio, when it
sees that the REQ_RAHEAD flag is set on the bio. The readahead size is
then passed down to ->read_merkle_tree_page() for the filesystem to
(optionally) implement if it sees that the requested page is uncached.
While we're at it, also make build_merkle_tree_level() set the Merkle
tree readahead size, since it's easy to do there.
However, for now don't set the readahead size in fsverity_verify_page(),
since currently it's only used to verify holes on ext4 and f2fs, and it
would need parameters added to know how much to read ahead.
This patch significantly improves fs-verity sequential read performance.

In an x86_64 VM (using sha256-avx2):

To meet some users' needs, add optional support for having fs-verity
handle a portion of the authentication policy in the kernel. An
".fs-verity" keyring is created to which X.509 certificates can be
added; then a sysctl 'fs.verity.require_signatures' can be set to cause
the kernel to enforce that all fs-verity files contain a signature of
their file measurement by a key in this keyring.
See the "Built-in signature verification" section of
Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst for the full documentation.

Add functions that verify data pages that have been read from a
fs-verity file, against that file's Merkle tree. These will be called
from filesystems' ->readpage() and ->readpages() methods.
Since data verification can block, a workqueue is provided for these
methods to enqueue verification work from their bio completion callback.

also denies all attempts to open verity files for writing.
