[PATCH v3 18/18] keyctl_pkey: Add pkey parameters saltlen and mgfhash for PSS

Tue Apr 20 11:41:23 UTC 2021


keyctl pkey_* operations accept enc and hash parameters at present.
RSASSA-PSS signatures also require passing in the signature salt
length and the mgf hash function.

Add parameters:
- 'saltlen' to feed in salt length of a PSS signature.
- 'mgfhash' to feed in the hash function used for MGF.
