* fs-verity: rename "file measurement" to "file digest"Eric Biggers2020-11-161-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* fs-verity: remove filenames from file commentsEric Biggers2020-11-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Embedding the file path inside kernel source code files isn't particularly useful as often files are moved around and the paths become incorrect. checkpatch.pl warns about this since v5.10-rc1.

* fs-verity: fix all kerneldoc warningsEric Biggers2020-05-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix all kerneldoc warnings in fs/verity/ and include/linux/fsverity.h. Most of these were due to missing documentation for function parameters. Detected with: scripts/kernel-doc -v -none fs/verity/*.{c,h} include/linux/fsverity.h This cleanup makes it possible to check new patches for kerneldoc warnings without having to filter out all the existing ones.

* fs-verity: implement FS_IOC_MEASURE_VERITY ioctlEric Biggers2019-08-121-0/+57
Add a function for filesystems to call to implement the FS_IOC_MEASURE_VERITY ioctl. This ioctl retrieves the file measurement that fs-verity calculated for the given file and is enforcing for reads; i.e., reads that don't match this hash will fail. This ioctl can be used for authentication or logging of file measurements in userspace. See the "FS_IOC_MEASURE_VERITY" section of Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst for the documentation.
