TrenchBoot for AMD platform in Linux kernel

Upstream TrenchBoot AMD support to the Linux kernel

TrenchBoot is a framework that allows individuals and projects to build security engines to perform launch integrity actions for their systems. Trenchboot is a unified framework to verify if bugs or vulnerabilities have compromised a system, based on dynamic RTM (DRTM). The framework builds upon Boot Integrity Technologies (BITs) that establish one or more Roots of Trust (RoT) from which a degree of confidence that integrity actions were not subverted is derived.

A previous effort successfully developed support for DRT technologies for AMD platforms in the Linux kernel. This project intends to upstream TrenchBoot support to the mainline Linux kernel and to the widely used GRUB boot manager.
