7984ceb134 crypto: af_alg - Support symmetric encryption via keyring keys
We want to leverage keyring to store sensitive keys, and then use those
keys for symmetric encryption via the crypto API. Among the key types we
wish to support are: user, logon, encrypted, and trusted.

User key types are already able to have their data copied to user space,
but logon does not support this. Further, trusted and encrypted keys will
return their encrypted data back to user space on read, which does not
make them ideal for symmetric encryption.

To support symmetric encryption for these key types, add a new
ALG_SET_KEY_BY_KEY_SERIAL setsockopt() option to the crypto API. This
allows users to pass a key_serial_t to the crypto API to perform
symmetric encryption. The behavior is the same as ALG_SET_KEY, but
the crypto key data is copied in kernel space from a keyring key,
which allows for the support of logon, encrypted, and trusted key types.

Keyring keys must have the KEY_(POS|USR|GRP|OTH)_SEARCH permission set
to leverage this feature. This follows the asymmetric_key type where key
lookup calls eventually lead to keyring_search_rcu() without the
KEYRING_SEARCH_NO_CHECK_PERM flag set.

77ebdabe8d crypto: af_alg - add extra parameters for DRBG interface
Extend the user-space RNG interface:
  1. Add entropy input via ALG_SET_DRBG_ENTROPY setsockopt option;
  2. Add additional data input via sendmsg syscall.

This allows DRBG to be tested with test vectors, for example for the
purpose of CAVP testing, which otherwise isn't possible.

To prevent erroneous use of entropy input, it is hidden under
CRYPTO_USER_API_RNG_CAVP config option and requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN to
succeed.

9332a9e739 crypto: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
            If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
            return 200 OK and serve the same content:
              Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

3b72c814a8 crypto: doc - convert crypto API documentation to Sphinx
With the conversion of the kernel crypto API DocBook to Sphinx, the
monolithic document is broken up into individual documents. The
documentation is unchanged with the exception of a slight reordering to
keep the individual document parts self-contained.
