2017-03-22	s390/pkey: Introduce new API for secure key verification	Harald Freudenberger	1	-0/+21
	User space needs some information about the secure key(s) before actually invoking the pkey and/or paes funcionality. This patch introduces a new ioctl API and in kernel API to verify the the secure key blob and give back some information about the key (type, bitsize, old MKVP). Both APIs are described in detail in the header files arch/s390/include/asm/pkey.h and arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/pkey.h.

2017-02-23	s390/pkey: Introduce pkey kernel module	Harald Freudenberger	1	-0/+90
	This patch introcudes a new kernel module pkey which is providing protected key handling and management functions. The pkey API is available within the kernel for other s390 specific code to create and manage protected keys. Additionally the functions are exported to user space via IOCTL calls. The implementation makes extensive use of functions provided by the zcrypt device driver. For generating protected keys from secure keys there is also a CEX coprocessor card needed.
