[v3,00/18] Implement RSASSA-PSS signature verification

Message

Linux currently supports RSA PKCSv1.5 encoding scheme for
signing / verification. This adds support for RSASSA PSS signature
verification as described in RFC8017 [1].

Patch 1 extends the x509 certificate parser to unpack PSS signature
  parameters.
Patches 2-8 pull out the common functions / struct definitions from
  rsa-pkcs1pad.c into rsa-common.c, to be shared across RSA encoding
  scheme implementations.
Patches 9, 10 provide some more plumbing to export the data needed to
  perform PSS operations (salt length, RSA modulus).
Patches 11-16 set up PSS scaffolding and provide the verification
  operation per RFC8017.
Patches 17, 18 turn the final knobs on to allow lowering PSS signatures
  for verification via keyctl.

The patchset is available as a git tree at [2].

Testing:
The implementation was tested by adding reference public keys to the
kernel's keyring via `keyctl padd` and then verifying a known
message digest / signature against this public key via `keyctl pkey_verify`.
The reference vectors were taken from:
- the Wycheproof testsuite [3]
- FIPS 186-2 and 186-4 test vectors [4]

The test harness is available at [5].

Example keyctl usage for PSS verification:
rsa_bits=4096 # 2048/3072/4096
hash_algo=sha256 # sha1/sha224/sha256/sha384/sha512
saltlen=32
# Generate keys, certificate:
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:$rsa_bits -nodes -keyout private.pem -out cert.der \
  -days 100 -outform der -$hash_algo -sigopt rsa_padding_mode:pss \
  -sigopt rsa_pss_saltlen:$saltlen -sigopt rsa_mgf1_md:$hash_algo

# Sign data.txt:
openssl dgst -${hash_algo} -sign private.pem -sigopt rsa_padding_mode:pss \
  -sigopt rsa_pss_saltlen:${saltlen} -out sig.bin data.txt

# Digest data.txt:
openssl dgst -${hash_algo} -binary -out data.${hash_algo}.raw data.txt

# Load pubkey into the kernel's keyring:
kv=$(keyctl padd asymmetric "test-key" @u < cert.der)

# Verify with `enc=pss`:
keyctl pkey_verify $kv "0" data.${hash_algo}.raw \
    sig.bin "enc=pss hash=${hash_algo} saltlen=${saltlen} mgfhash=${hash_algo}"

v3:
- Rename pkey_verify parameter for salt length to "saltlen".
- Update Documentation/security/keys/core.rst.
- Add validation for the hash algorithm passed to psspad_setup_shash.

v2:
- Allow certificates where mgf hash algorithm is different from the digest hash
  algorithm.
- Fix sparse warnings on "X.509: Parse RSASSA-PSS style certificates".
