FIPS 140-3 introduced a requirement for the FIPS module to return information about itself, specifically a name and a version. These values must match the values reported on FIPS certificates. This patch adds two files to read a name and a version from: /proc/sys/crypto/fips_name /proc/sys/crypto/fips_version v2: removed redundant parentheses in config entries. v3: move FIPS_MODULE_* defines to fips.c where they are used. v4: return utsrelease.h inclusion Signed-off-by: Simo Sorce <simo@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Vladis Dronov <vdronov@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
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.
