[05/12] crypto: akcipher - Support more than one signature encoding

Commit Message

Lukas Wunner Sept. 28, 2023, 5:32 p.m. UTC
Currently only a single default signature encoding is supported per
akcipher.

A subsequent commit will allow a second encoding for ecdsa, namely P1363
alternatively to X9.62.

To accommodate for that, amend struct akcipher_request and struct
crypto_akcipher_sync_data to store the desired signature encoding for
verify and sign ops.

Amend akcipher_request_set_crypt(), crypto_sig_verify() and
crypto_sig_sign() with an additional parameter which specifies the
desired signature encoding.  Adjust all callers.

I can only review this in generic terms, I just wonder why this decided to
pass a string rather than an enum?

The keyctl user space interface passes strings and crypto/algapi.c
likewise uses strings to identify algorithms.  It appears to be the
commonly used style in the crypto and keys subsystems.  In particular,
security/keys/keyctl_pkey.c already uses strings for the signature
encoding.

I just tried to blend in with the existing code.
Happy to make adjustments if Herbert or David say so.

Thanks,

Lukas
