From: Collin Walling <walling@linux.ibm.com>
DIAG 508 subcode 1 performs signature-verification on signed components.
A signed component may be a Linux kernel image, or any other signed
binary. **Verification of initrd is not supported.**
The instruction call expects two item-pairs: an address of a device
component, an address of the analogous signature file (in PKCS#7 DER format),
and their respective lengths. All of this data should be encapsulated
within a Diag508SignatureVerificationBlock, with the CertificateStoreInfo
fields ignored. The DIAG handler will read from the provided addresses
to retrieve the necessary data, parse the signature file, then
perform the signature-verification. Because there is no way to
correlate a specific certificate to a component, each certificate
in the store is tried until either verification succeeds, or all
certs have been exhausted.
The subcode value is denoted by setting the second-to-left-most bit of
a 2-byte field.
A return code of 1 indicates success, and the index and length of the
corresponding certificate will be set in the CertificateStoreInfo
portion of the SigVerifBlock. The following values indicate failure:
0x0102: certificate not available
0x0202: component data is invalid
0x0302: signature is not in PKCS#7 format
0x0402: signature-verification failed

The comment here seems misleading as we are checking the return code
from qcrypto_x509_verify_sig and not ignoring the error here. Is it
meant for the handle_diag508_sig_verif function where we are looping
through the certs?
Thanks Farhan

Thank you for pointing it out. This comment is meant for when iterating
over the certificates in handle_diag508_sig_verif(). I'll move it in the
next version.

Maybe shorten the above structs to just Diag508CSI and Diag508SVB or
similar?

On another note, I played around with updating the 508 code to make the
structures similar to what we'd see in the PoPs (also made other changes
based on feedback I left to Joy on other patches). I came up with this
design:
struct Diag508SigVerifBlock {
uint32_t length;
uint8_t reserved0[3];
uint8_t version;
uint32_t reserved[2];
uint8_t cert_store_index;
uint8_t reserved1[7];
uint64_t cert_len;
uint64_t comp_len;
uint64_t comp_addr;
uint64_t sig_len;
uint64_t sig_addr;
};
typedef struct Diag508SigVerifBlock Diag508SigVerifBlock;
This condenses the two structures while also making it 64 bytes.
Do you think this is a good idea?
