This new pkey handler module supports the conversion of Ultravisor retrievable secrets to protected keys. The new module pkey-uv.ko is able to retrieve and verify protected keys backed up by the Ultravisor layer which is only available within protected execution environment. The module is only automatically loaded if there is the UV CPU feature flagged as available. Additionally on module init there is a check for protected execution environment and for UV supporting retrievable secrets. Also if the kernel is not running as a protected execution guest, the module unloads itself with errno ENODEV. The pkey UV module currently supports these Ultravisor secrets and is able to retrieve a protected key for these UV secret types: - UV_SECRET_AES_128 - UV_SECRET_AES_192 - UV_SECRET_AES_256 - UV_SECRET_AES_XTS_128 - UV_SECRET_AES_XTS_256 - UV_SECRET_HMAC_SHA_256 - UV_SECRET_HMAC_SHA_512 - UV_SECRET_ECDSA_P256 - UV_SECRET_ECDSA_P384 - UV_SECRET_ECDSA_P521 - UV_SECRET_ECDSA_ED25519 - UV_SECRET_ECDSA_ED448 Signed-off-by: Harald Freudenberger <freude@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Holger Dengler <dengler@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@linux.ibm.com>
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 reStructuredText 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.
