Harald Freudenberger says: =================== This patches do some cleanup and reorg of the pkey module code and extend the existing ioctl with supporting derivation of protected key material from clear key material for some ECC curves with the help of the PCKMO instruction. Please note that 'protected key' is a special type of key only available on s390. It is similar to an secure key which is encrypted by a master key sitting inside an HSM. In contrast to secure keys a protected key is encrypted by a random key located in a hidden firmware memory accessible by the CPU and thus much faster but less secure. =================== The merged updates are: - Fix the style of protected key API driver source: use x-mas tree for all local variable declarations. - Rework protected key API driver to not use the struct pkey_protkey and pkey_clrkey anymore. Both structures have a fixed size buffer, but with the support of ECC protected key these buffers are not big enough. Use dynamic buffers internally and transparently for userspace. - Add support for a new 'non CCA clear key token' with ECC clear keys supported: ECC P256, ECC P384, ECC P521, ECC ED25519 and ECC ED448. This makes it possible to derive a protected key from the ECC clear key input via PKEY_KBLOB2PROTK3 ioctl, while currently the only way to derive is via PCKMO instruction.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
