[ NOTE: this patchset is an RFC that isn't ready for merging yet because
  it doesn't yet include the vendor-specific UFS or eMMC driver changes
  needed to actually use the feature.  I.e., this patchset isn't
  sufficient to actually use hardware-wrapped keys with upstream yet.

  For context, hardware-wrapped key support has been out-of-tree in the
  Android kernels since early last year; upstreaming has been blocked on
  hardware availability and support.  However, an SoC that supports this
  feature (SM8350, a.k.a. Qualcomm Snapdragon 888) finally has been
  publicly released and had basic SoC support upstreamed.  Also, some
  other hardware will support the same feature soon.  So, things should
  be progressing soon.  So while the driver changes are gotten into an
  upstream-ready form, I wanted to get things started and give people a
  chance to give early feedback on the plan for how the kernel will
  support this type of hardware.]

This patchset adds framework-level support (i.e., block and fscrypt
support) for hardware-wrapped keys when the inline encryption hardware
supports them.  Hardware-wrapped keys are inline encryption keys that
are wrapped (encrypted) by a key internal to the hardware.  Except at
initial unlocking time, the wrapping key is an ephemeral, per-boot key.
Hardware-wrapped keys can only be unwrapped (decrypted) by the hardware,
e.g. when a key is programmed into a keyslot.  They are never visible to
software in raw form, except optionally during key generation (the
hardware supports importing keys as well as generating keys itself).

This feature protects the encryption keys from read-only compromises of
kernel memory, such as that which can occur during a cold boot attack.
It does this without limiting the number of keys that can be used, as
would be the case with solutions that didn't use key wrapping.

The kernel changes to support this feature basically consist of changes
to blk-crypto to allow a blk_crypto_key to be hardware-wrapped and to
allow storage drivers to support hardware-wrapped keys, new block device
ioctls for creating and preparing hardware-wrapped keys, and changes to
fscrypt to allow the fscrypt master keys to be hardware-wrapped.

For full details, see the individual patches, especially the detailed
documentation they add to Documentation/block/inline-encryption.rst and
Documentation/filesystems/fscrypt.rst.

This patchset is organized as follows:

- Patch 1 adds the block support and documentation, excluding the ioctls
  needed to get a key ready to be used in the first place.

- Patch 2 adds new block device ioctls for creating and preparing
  hardware-wrapped keys.

- Patches 3-4 clean up the fscrypt documentation and key validation
  logic.  These aren't specific to hardware-wrapped keys per se, so
  these don't need to wait for the rest of the patches.

- Patch 5 adds the fscrypt support and documentation.

This patchset applies to v5.15-rc1 plus my other patchset
"[PATCH v2 0/4] blk-crypto cleanups".  It can also be retrieved from tag
"wrapped-keys-v2" of
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/fscrypt.git.

Changed v1 => v2:
    - Added new ioctls for creating and preparing hardware-wrapped keys.
    - Rebased onto my patchset which renames blk_keyslot_manager to
      blk_crypto_profile.

Eric Biggers (5):
  block: add basic hardware-wrapped key support
  block: add ioctls to create and prepare hardware-wrapped keys
  fscrypt: improve documentation for inline encryption
  fscrypt: allow 256-bit master keys with AES-256-XTS
  fscrypt: add support for hardware-wrapped keys
