Merge branch 'next-keys2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull keys updates from James Morris: "Provide five new operations in the key_type struct that can be used to provide access to asymmetric key operations. These will be implemented for the asymmetric key type in a later patch and may refer to a key retained in RAM by the kernel or a key retained in crypto hardware. int (*asym_query)(const struct kernel_pkey_params *params, struct kernel_pkey_query *info); int (*asym_eds_op)(struct kernel_pkey_params *params, const void *in, void *out); int (*asym_verify_signature)(struct kernel_pkey_params *params, const void *in, const void *in2); Since encrypt, decrypt and sign are identical in their interfaces, they're rolled together in the asym_eds_op() operation and there's an operation ID in the params argument to distinguish them. Verify is different in that we supply the data and the signature instead and get an error value (or 0) as the only result on the expectation that this may well be how a hardware crypto device may work" * 'next-keys2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: (22 commits) KEYS: asym_tpm: Add support for the sign operation [ver #2] KEYS: asym_tpm: Implement tpm_sign [ver #2] KEYS: asym_tpm: Implement signature verification [ver #2] KEYS: asym_tpm: Implement the decrypt operation [ver #2] KEYS: asym_tpm: Implement tpm_unbind [ver #2] KEYS: asym_tpm: Add loadkey2 and flushspecific [ver #2] KEYS: Move trusted.h to include/keys [ver #2] KEYS: trusted: Expose common functionality [ver #2] KEYS: asym_tpm: Implement encryption operation [ver #2] KEYS: asym_tpm: Implement pkey_query [ver #2] KEYS: Add parser for TPM-based keys [ver #2] KEYS: asym_tpm: extract key size & public key [ver #2] KEYS: asym_tpm: add skeleton for asym_tpm [ver #2] crypto: rsa-pkcs1pad: Allow hash to be optional [ver #2] KEYS: Implement PKCS#8 RSA Private Key parser [ver #2] KEYS: Implement encrypt, decrypt and sign for software asymmetric key [ver #2] KEYS: Allow the public_key struct to hold a private key [ver #2] KEYS: Provide software public key query function [ver #2] KEYS: Make the X.509 and PKCS7 parsers supply the sig encoding type [ver #2] KEYS: Provide missing asymmetric key subops for new key type ops [ver #2] ...

+
+ asym_eds_op() deals with encryption, decryption and signature creation as
+ specified by params->op. Note that params->op is also set for
+ asym_verify_signature().
+
+ Encrypting and signature creation both take raw data in the input buffer
+ and return the encrypted result in the output buffer. Padding may have
+ been added if an encoding was set. In the case of signature creation,
+ depending on the encoding, the padding created may need to indicate the
+ digest algorithm - the name of which should be supplied in hash_algo.
+
+ Decryption takes encrypted data in the input buffer and returns the raw
+ data in the output buffer. Padding will get checked and stripped off if
+ an encoding was set.
+
+ Verification takes raw data in the input buffer and the signature in the
+ second input buffer and checks that the one matches the other. Padding
+ will be validated. Depending on the encoding, the digest algorithm used
+ to generate the raw data may need to be indicated in hash_algo.
+
+ If successful, asym_eds_op() should return the number of bytes written
+ into the output buffer. asym_verify_signature() should return 0.
+
+ A variety of errors may be returned, including EOPNOTSUPP if the operation
+ is not supported; EKEYREJECTED if verification fails; ENOPKG if the
+ required crypto isn't available.

+ The parameter block is as for asym_eds_op() and co. but in_len and out_len

+ The supported_ops field will contain a bitmask indicating what operations
+ are supported by the key, including encryption of a blob, decryption of a
+ blob, signing a blob and verifying the signature on a blob. The following
+ constants are defined for this::
+
+ KEYCTL_SUPPORTS_{ENCRYPT,DECRYPT,SIGN,VERIFY}
+
+ The key_size field is the size of the key in bits. max_data_size and
+ max_sig_size are the maximum raw data and signature sizes for creation and
+ verification of a signature; max_enc_size and max_dec_size are the maximum
+ raw data and signature sizes for encryption and decryption. The
+ max_*_size fields are measured in bytes.
