Michal Sekletar 70f5f48eb8 cryptsetup-generator: introduce basic keydev support
Dracut has a support for unlocking encrypted drives with keyfile stored
on the external drive. This support is included in the generated initrd
only if systemd module is not included.

When systemd is used in initrd then attachment of encrypted drives is
handled by systemd-cryptsetup tools. Our generator has support for
keyfile, however, it didn't support keyfile on the external block
device (keydev).

This commit introduces basic keydev support. Keydev can be specified per
luks.uuid on the kernel command line. Keydev is automatically mounted
during boot and we look for keyfile in the keydev
mountpoint (i.e. keyfile path is prefixed with the keydev mount point
path). After crypt device is attached we automatically unmount
where keyfile resides.

Example:
        rd.luks.key=70bc876b-f627-4038-9049-3080d79d2165=/key:LABEL=KEYDEV

<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup-generator</filename> is a
generator that translates <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> into
native systemd units early at boot and when configuration of the
system manager is reloaded. This will create
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
units as necessary.</para>

<listitem><para>Takes a password file name as argument or a

password file name.</para>
<para>For those entries specified with
<varname>rd.luks.uuid=</varname> or
<varname>luks.uuid=</varname>, the password file will be set
to the one specified by <varname>rd.luks.key=</varname> or
<varname>luks.key=</varname> of the corresponding UUID, or the
password file that was specified without a UUID.</para>
<para>It is also possible to specify an external device which
should be mounted before we attempt to unlock the LUKS device.
systemd-cryptsetup will use password file stored on that
device. Device containing password file is specified by
appending colon and a device identifier to the password file
path. For example,
<varname>rd.luks.uuid=</varname>b40f1abf-2a53-400a-889a-2eccc27eaa40
<varname>rd.luks.key=</varname>b40f1abf-2a53-400a-889a-2eccc27eaa40=/keyfile:LABEL=keydev.
Hence, in this case, we will attempt to mount file system
residing on the block device with label <literal>keydev</literal>.
This syntax is for now only supported on a per-device basis,
i.e. you have to specify LUKS device UUID.</para>
<para><varname>rd.luks.key=</varname>
is honored only by initial RAM disk
(initrd) while
<varname>luks.key=</varname> is
honored by both the main system and
the initrd.</para>
