This patch adds support for a new key blob format to the pkey kernel module. The new key blob comprises a clear key value together with key type information. The implementation tries to derive an protected key from the blob with the clear key value inside with 1) the PCKMO instruction. This may fail as the LPAR profile may disable this way. 2) Generate an CCA AES secure data key with exact the clear key value. This requires to have a working crypto card in CCA Coprocessor mode. Then derive an protected key from the CCA AES secure key again with the help of a working crypto card in CCA mode. If both way fail, the transformation of the clear key blob into a protected key will fail. For the PAES cipher this would result in a failure at setkey() invocation. A clear key value exposed in main memory is a security risk. The intention of this new 'clear key blob' support for pkey is to provide self-tests for the PAES cipher key implementation. These known answer tests obviously need to be run with well known key values. So with the clear key blob format there is a way to provide knwon answer tests together with an pkey clear key blob for the in-kernel self tests done at cipher registration.

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.
