[PATCH] certs: Restrict blacklist updates to the secondary trusted keyring

[Eric Snowberg <eric.snowberg@oracle.com>]

Currently root can dynamically update the blacklist keyring if the hash
being added is signed and vouched for by the builtin trusted keyring.
Currently keys in the secondary trusted keyring can not be used.

Keys within the secondary trusted keyring carry the same capabilities as
the builtin trusted keyring.  Relax the current restriction for updating
the .blacklist keyring and allow the secondary to also be referenced as
a trust source.  Since the machine keyring is linked to the secondary
trusted keyring, any key within it may also be used.

An example use case for this is IMA appraisal.  Now that IMA both
references the blacklist keyring and allows the machine owner to add
custom IMA CA certs via the machine keyring, this adds the additional
capability for the machine owner to also do revocations on a running
system.

IMA appraisal usage example to add a revocation for /usr/foo:

sha256sum /bin/foo | awk '{printf "bin:" $1}' > hash.txt

openssl smime -sign -in hash.txt -inkey machine-private-key.pem \
       -signer machine-certificate.pem -noattr -binary -outform DER \
       -out hash.p7s

keyctl padd blacklist "$(< hash.txt)" %:.blacklist < hash.p7s
