Description

so, i did decide to test out sha512 implementation and got "checksum verification failed" error after having enabled sha512 on pool root dataset. while investigating, I did decide to test the sha512 implementation in grub against test in usr/src/test/zfs-tests/tests/functional/checksum/sha2 and sha512_256.

here is printout of digests, first line for generated, second for baseline; first test for msg0, second for msg2:

The current SHA512 implementation in grub has 2 major issues - missing type casts of uint8_t data are causing data loss from left shift operation and resulting checksum has wrong byte order. Those two issues are causing immediate failure from reading zfs.
