Linus Torvalds baa888d25e Merge branch 'next-keys2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull keys updates from James Morris:
 "Provide five new operations in the key_type struct that can be used to
  provide access to asymmetric key operations. These will be implemented
  for the asymmetric key type in a later patch and may refer to a key
  retained in RAM by the kernel or a key retained in crypto hardware.

     int (*asym_query)(const struct kernel_pkey_params *params,
                       struct kernel_pkey_query *info);
     int (*asym_eds_op)(struct kernel_pkey_params *params,
                        const void *in, void *out);
     int (*asym_verify_signature)(struct kernel_pkey_params *params,
                                  const void *in, const void *in2);

  Since encrypt, decrypt and sign are identical in their interfaces,
  they're rolled together in the asym_eds_op() operation and there's an
  operation ID in the params argument to distinguish them.

  Verify is different in that we supply the data and the signature
  instead and get an error value (or 0) as the only result on the
  expectation that this may well be how a hardware crypto device may
  work"

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.
