Add binary read-only sysfs attributes for the pkey module that can be used to read random ccadata secure keys from. Keys are read from these attributes using a cat-like interface. A typical use case for those keys is to encrypt a swap device using the paes cipher. During processing of /etc/crypttab, the random random ccadata secure key to encrypt the swap device is read from one of the attributes. The following attributes are added: ccadata/aes_128 ccadata/aes_192 ccadata/aes_256 ccadata/aes_128_xts ccadata/aes_256_xts Each attribute emits a secure key blob for the corresponding key size and cipher mode.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
