Commit 'fa6999e326fe ("s390/pkey: support CCA and EP11 secure ECC
private keys")' introduced a new PKEY_TYPE_EP11_AES securekey type as
a supplement to the existing PKEY_TYPE_EP11 (which won't work in
environments with session-bound keys). The pkey EP11 securekey
attributes use PKEY_TYPE_EP11_AES (instead of PKEY_TYPE_EP11)
keyblobs, to make the generated keyblobs usable also in environments,
where session-bound keys are required.
There should be no negative impacts to userspace because the internal
structure of the keyblobs is opaque. The increased size of the
generated keyblobs is reflected by the changed size of the attributes.

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.
