Pull Kerberos crypto library from David Howells:
crypto: Add Kerberos crypto lib
It does a couple of things:
(1) Provide an AEAD crypto driver, krb5enc, that mirrors the authenc
driver, but that hashes the plaintext, not the ciphertext. This was
made a separate module rather than just being a part of the authenc
driver because it has to do all of the constituent operations in the
opposite order - which impacts the async op handling.
Testmgr data is provided for AES+SHA2 and Camellia combinations of
authenc and krb5enc used by the krb5 library. AES+SHA1 is not
provided as the RFCs don't contain usable test vectors.
(2) Provide a Kerberos 5 crypto library. This is an extract from the
sunrpc driver as that code can be shared between sunrpc/nfs and
rxrpc/afs. This provides encryption, decryption, get MIC and verify
MIC routines that use and wrap the crypto functions, along with some
functions to provide layout management.
This supports AES+SHA1, AES+SHA2 and Camellia encryption types.
Self-testing is provided that goes further than is possible with
testmgr, doing subkey derivation as well.
The patches were previously posted here:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250203142343.248839-1-dhowells@redhat.com/
as part of a larger series, but the networking guys would prefer these to
go through the crypto tree. If you want them reposting independently, I
can do that.
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.
