Merge tag 'keys-pkcs7-20140708' into keys-next

Here's a set of changes that implement a PKCS#7 message parser in the kernel.

The PKCS#7 message parsing will then be used to limit kexec to authenticated
kernels only if so configured.

The changes provide the following facilities:

 (1) Parse an ASN.1 PKCS#7 message and pick out useful bits such as the data
     content and the X.509 certificates used to sign it and all the data
     signatures.

 (2) Verify all the data signatures against the set of X.509 certificates
     available in the message.

 (3) Follow the certificate chains and verify that:

     (a) for every self-signed X.509 certificate, check that it validly signed
     	 itself, and:

     (b) for every non-self-signed certificate, if we have a 'parent'
     	 certificate, the former is validly signed by the latter.

 (4) Look for intersections between the certificate chains and the trusted
     keyring, if any intersections are found, verify that the trusted
     certificates signed the intersection point in the chain.

 (5) For testing purposes, a key type can be made available that will take a
     PKCS#7 message, check that the message is trustworthy, and if so, add its
     data content into the key.

Note that (5) has to be altered to take account of the preparsing patches
already committed to this branch.
