You should also cc keyrings and possibly l-s-m.

How about the attached patch?

KEYS: Make the blacklisting check all possible types of hash

The blacklisting facility is not limited to hashes of a specific type, so
certificate and message blocks that need to be checked may have to be
checked against hashes of more than one hash type.

Make the blacklisting facility check all the types of hash it has blacklist
entries for.

To this end:

 (1) Blacklist type key names now can take an optional type name at the
     end:

        "<type>:<hash-as-hex>[:<algo>]"

     If the algorithm is omitted, it's assumed to refer to a shaNNN
     algorithm, where NNN is defined by the number of bits in the hex hash.

 (2) mark_hash_blacklisted() maintains a list of types we've marked.  Only
     this function can modify the blacklist keyring, so this is an good
     place to do it.

     Adding to the list in the blacklist key type ops would allow userspace
     to add an unlimited number of type names to the list.

 (3) is_hash_blacklisted() is given an extra parameter for the hash
     algorithm name.  It will now check for a matching description with the
     algorithm name attached and then, if the algorithm name begins "sha",
     it will chop off the algorithm name and try that too.

 (4) is_data_blacklisted() is added to iterate through all the known
     blacklist hashes, for which it will hash the data it is given and
     invoke is_hash_blacklisted() on the digest it obtained.

     This can be told to skip a particular algorithm for when the caller
     has one precalculated.  The precalculated hash can be passed to
     is_hash_blacklisted().  This would typically be the case for a signed
     X.509 message.

You iterate over the distinct types, not the hashes themselves, right?
You may want to clarify that here.

This last part seems a premature optimization to me. Is there a
performance concern preventing us from using (4) only?

In any case, the approach and the code look sound to me, although I
think adding a hash of a type that we don't know how to calculate
deserves a warning at least.

Crypto stuff is relatively slow - and in the case of X.509 and PKCS#7 the
caller will already have calculated a hash.  The most likely situation
currently, I think, is that we will only have sha256 hashes in the blacklist,
and whatever we're checking will have a sha256 hash also.

Possibly, I could just pass the precalculated hash into is_data_blacklisted()
and so avoid having to call is_hash_blacklisted() from outside.

There are two issues with that:

 (1) We don't know what hashes are available without checking to see what
     modules are available.  However, to do this would involve loading the
     hash algorithm module - but we might not be in a position to do this yet
     (the blacklist is loaded before we start userspace).

 (2) A module implementing a hash algorithm might be blacklisted by the hash
     that we've been given to add to the blacklist.  I think this is a more
     general problem - and might require us to restrict blacklisting to hash
     algorithms that are built in.

That would be cleaner, yes. As I said, it looks correct to me, but I
would simply prefer to keep the code as simple as possible. If there
is a good reason for the additional fast path, then I have no
objections at all.

Ah ok. That does complicate matters, indeed.

That makes sense, but deserves another big fat warning when it turns
out that the blacklist contains an entry we cannot verify against.
