Subject: [PATCH] man/systemd-cryptenroll: update list of PCRs, link to uapi
docs
Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem. We had a list of PCRs in the
man page which was already half out-of-date. Instead, link to web page with the
"authoritative" list. Here, drop the descriptions of what shim and grub do. Instead,
just give some short descriptions and mention what systemd components do.
systemd-pcrmachine.service and systemd-pcrfs@.service are now mentioned too.
https://github.com/uapi-group/specifications/commit/d0e590b1e2648e76ece66157ceade3f45b165b14
extended the table in the specs repo.
https://github.com/uapi-group/specifications/pull/59 adds some more text there
too.
Also, rework the recommendation: hint that PCR 11 is useful, and recommend
binding to policy signatures instead of direct PCR values. This new text is
intentionally vague: doing this correctly is hard, but let's at least not imply
that just binding to PCR 7 is useful in any way.
Also, change "string alias" to "name" in discussion of PCR names.
Inspired by https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/future-of-encryption-in-fedora/80397/17
(cherry picked from commit 10fa7251c0d8a465c932f2c4cf4496efb1637458)

+ <para>PCRs allow binding of the encryption of secrets to specific software versions and system state,
+ so that the enrolled key is only accessible (may be "unsealed") if specific trusted software and/or
+ configuration is used. Such bindings may be created with the option <option>--tpm2-pcrs=</option>
+ described below.</para>
+
+ <para>Secrets may also be bound indirectly: a signed policy for a state of some combination of PCR
+ values is provided, and the secret is bound to the public part of the key used to sign this policy.
+ This means that the owner of a key can generate a sequence of signed policies, for specific software
+ versions and system states, and the secret can be decrypted as long as the machine state matches one of
+ those policies. For example, a vendor may provide such a policy for each kernel+initrd update, allowing
+ users to encrypt secrets so that they can be decrypted when running any kernel+initrd signed by the
+ vendor. Such bindings may be created with the options <option>--tpm2-public-key=</option>,
+ <option>--tpm2-public-key-pcrs=</option>, <option>--tpm2-signature=</option> described below.
