Until this point, the kernel can use hardware-wrapped keys to do encryption if userspace provides one -- specifically a key in ephemerally-wrapped form. However, no generic way has been provided for userspace to get such a key in the first place. Getting such a key is a two-step process. First, the key needs to be imported from a raw key or generated by the hardware, producing a key in long-term wrapped form. This happens once in the whole lifetime of the key. Second, the long-term wrapped key needs to be converted into ephemerally-wrapped form. This happens each time the key is "unlocked". In Android, these operations are supported in a generic way through KeyMint, a userspace abstraction layer. However, that method is Android-specific and can't be used on other Linux systems, may rely on proprietary libraries, and also misleads people into supporting KeyMint features like rollback resistance that make sense for other KeyMint keys but don't make sense for hardware-wrapped inline encryption keys. Therefore, this patch provides a generic kernel interface for these operations by introducing new block device ioctls: - BLKCRYPTOIMPORTKEY: convert a raw key to long-term wrapped form. - BLKCRYPTOGENERATEKEY: have the hardware generate a new key, then return it in long-term wrapped form. - BLKCRYPTOPREPAREKEY: convert a key from long-term wrapped form to ephemerally-wrapped form. These ioctls are implemented using new operations in blk_crypto_ll_ops.

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
