In preparation of adding new ECDSA self-tests, the existing data for the RSA self-tests is moved to a separate file. This file is only compiled if the new CONFIG_FIPS_SIGNATURE_SELFTEST_RSA configuration option is set, which ensures that the required dependencies (RSA, SHA-256) are present. Otherwise, the kernel would panic when trying to execute the self-test. The introduction of this new option, rather than adding the dependencies to the existing CONFIG_FIPS_SIGNATURE_SELFTEST option, allows for additional self-tests to be added for different algorithms. The kernel can then be configured to only execute the self-tests for those algorithms that are included.

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.
