[PATCH 01/22] KEYS: Provide key type operations for asymmetric key ops

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.

+     ``int (*asym_verify_signature)(struct kernel_pkey_params *params,

+
+     These methods are optional.  If provided the first allows a key to be
+     used to encrypt, decrypt or sign a blob of data, and the second allows a
+     key to verify a signature.
+
+     In all cases, the following information is provided in the params block::
+
+	struct kernel_pkey_params {
+		struct key	*key;
+		const char	*encoding;
+		const char	*hash_algo;
+		char		*info;
+		__u32		in_len;
+		union {
+			__u32	out_len;
+			__u32	in2_len;
+		};
+		enum kernel_pkey_operation op : 8;
+	};
+
+     This includes the key to be used; an optional string indicating the
+     encoding to use (for instance, "pkcs1" may be used with an RSA key to
+     indicate RSASSA-PKCS1-v1.5 or RSAES-PKCS1-v1.5 encoding); the name of the
+     hash algorithm used to generate the data for a signature (if appropriate);
+     the sizes of the input and output (or second input) buffers; and the ID of
+     the operation to be performed.
+
+     For a given operation ID, the input and output buffers are used as
+     follows::
+
+	Operation ID		in,in_len	out,out_len	in2,in2_len
+	=======================	===============	===============	===============
+	kernel_pkey_encrypt	Raw data	Encrypted data	-
+	kernel_pkey_decrypt	Encrypted data	Raw data	-
+	kernel_pkey_sign	Raw data	Signature	-
+	kernel_pkey_verify	Raw data	-		Signature
+
+     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.
+
+
+  *  ``int (*asym_query)(const struct kernel_pkey_params *params,
+			 struct kernel_pkey_query *info);``
+
+     This method is optional.  If provided it allows information about the
+     public or asymmetric key held in the key to be determined.
+
+     The parameter block is as for asym_eds_op() and co. but in_len and out_len
+     are unused.  The encoding and hash_algo fields should be used to reduce
+     the returned buffer/data sizes as appropriate.
+
+     If successful, the following information is filled in::
+
+	struct kernel_pkey_query {
+		__u32		supported_ops;
+		__u32		key_size;
+		__u16		max_data_size;
+		__u16		max_sig_size;
+		__u16		max_enc_size;
+		__u16		max_dec_size;
+	};
+
+     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.
+
+     If successful, 0 will be returned.  If the key doesn't support this,
+     EOPNOTSUPP will be returned.
