This change allows specifying additional avb keys to verify a fstab
entry. It can be used together with the original 'avb' flag. When both
'avb' and 'avb_keys' are present, it will try to use avb_keys to verify
this partition and extract the AVB descriptor from the end of it first.
When avb_key fails, it falls back to searching the AVB descriptor in the
built-in /vbmeta (and its chained partitions) with the matched partition
name.
An example of a fstab file:
system /system ext4 ro,barrier=1 wait,slotselect,avb=vbmeta,logical,first_stage_mount,avb_keys=/avb/gsi.avbpubkey
vendor /vendor ext4 ro,barrier=1 wait,slotselect,avb,logical,first_stage_mount
The overhead of adding an additional 'avb_keys' should not be significant,
as the typical size of a AVB Hashtree descriptor for /system is usually
less than 1000 bytes. e.g., on crosshatch, it's about 600 bytes, which
takes less than 1 millisecond for the following call to return failure.
auto avb_standalone_handle = AvbHandle::LoadAndVerifyVbmeta(*fstab_entry);
We also checked the time spent on init's first stage on crosshatch, with the
following CL to set ro.boottime.init.first_stage. The testing result
shows no significant difference between them as well.
