mainlining shenanigans
50524d787d
The firmware on Turris MOX secure processor offers signing messages with ECDSA private key stored in protected OTP memory. The optimal solution would be to register an akcipher provider via kernel's crypto API, but crypto API does not yet support accessing akcipher API from userspace (and probably won't for some time, see https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-crypto/msg38388.html). At first I tried to put this via standard sysfs API, but the way I designed it is not compatible with sysfs's standard "one file per attribute". This patch therefore adds support for accessing this signature generation mechanism via debugfs. Since CZ.NIC's Turris MOX is the only user of this module, the potential future change to akcipher API should not cause problems, since we can just change our userspace software then.

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.
