Add and use a check-blacklist-hashes.awk script to make sure that the
builtin blacklist hashes will be approved by the run time blacklist
description checks.  This is useful to debug invalid hash formats, and
it make sure that previous hashes which could have been loaded in the
kernel (but ignored) are now noticed and deal with by the user.

I get this with a self-signed cert:

certs/Makefile:18: *** target pattern contains no '%'.  Stop.

CONFIG_SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_HASH_LIST="tbs:8eed1340eef37c1dc84d996406ad05c7dbb3eade19132d688408ca2f63904869"
As said in the Kconfig documentation for
CONFIG_SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_HASH_LIST, you need to provide a file with the
list, not to set the string directly in the configuration variable. This
patch series didn't change this behavior. The same kind of macros are
used for CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY.
OK, the documentation just states that:

"Hashes to be preloaded into the system blacklist keyring"

No mention about a file. I'd add a patch to update this documentation.
I was referring to the full description:

config SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_HASH_LIST
	string "Hashes to be preloaded into the system blacklist keyring"
	depends on SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING
	help
	  If set, this option should be the filename of a list of hashes in the
	  form "<hash>", "<hash>", ... .  This will be included into a C
	  wrapper to incorporate the list into the kernel.  Each <hash> should
	  be a string of hex digits.

…but the short description doesn't mention filename.
Aah.

Anyway, I'll test the next version. Now all should be clear how
to approach that. Thanks.
