      KEYS: Add KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE command · ddbb4114
      Mat Martineau 提交于
      This adds userspace access to Diffie-Hellman computations through a
      new keyctl() syscall command to calculate shared secrets or public
      keys using input parameters stored in the keyring.
      
      Input key ids are provided in a struct due to the current 5-arg limit
      for the keyctl syscall. Only user keys are supported in order to avoid
      exposing the content of logon or encrypted keys.
      
      The output is written to the provided buffer, based on the assumption
      that the values are only needed in userspace.
      
      Future support for other types of key derivation would involve a new
      command, like KEYCTL_ECDH_COMPUTE.
      
      Once Diffie-Hellman support is included in the crypto API, this code
      can be converted to use the crypto API to take advantage of possible
      hardware acceleration and reduce redundant code.
