This patch introduced SNAPSHOT_SIG_HASH config for user to select which
hash algorithm will be used during signature generation of snapshot.

v2:
Add define check of oCONFIG_SNAPSHOT_VERIFICATION in snapshot.c before
declare pkey_hash().

Like if 1000 ifdefs you already added to the code are not enough, you
make some new ones?

This SNAPSHOT_SIG_HASH kernel config is to select which SHA algorithms
used for generate digest of snapshot. The configuration will captured by
a const char* in code:

+static const char *snapshot_hash = CONFIG_SNAPSHOT_SIG_HASH;
+
+static int pkey_hash(void)

So, there doesn't have any ifdef block derived from this new config.


Thanks a lot!
