Ilias Apalodimas 71c7adc9ff efi/libstub: measure EFI LoadOptions
The EFI TCG spec, in §10.2.6 "Measuring UEFI Variables and UEFI GPT
Data", only reasons about the load options passed to a loaded image in
the context of boot options booted directly from the BDS, which are
measured into PCR #5 along with the rest of the Boot#### EFI variable.

However, the UEFI spec mentions the following in the documentation of
the LoadImage() boot service and the EFI_LOADED_IMAGE protocol:

  The caller may fill in the image’s "load options" data, or add
  additional protocol support to the handle before passing control to
  the newly loaded image by calling EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.StartImage().

The typical boot sequence for Linux EFI systems is to load GRUB via a
boot option from the BDS, which [hopefully] calls LoadImage to load the
kernel image, passing the kernel command line via the mechanism
described above. This means that we cannot rely on the firmware
implementing TCG measured boot to ensure that the kernel command line
gets measured before the image is started, so the EFI stub will have to
take care of this itself.

Given that PCR #5 has an official use in the TCG measured boot spec,
let's avoid it in this case. Instead, add a measurement in PCR #9 (which
we already use for our initrd) and extend it with the LoadOptions
measurements

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
