[PATCHv3 4/6] evm: provide a function to set EVM key from the kernel

From: Dmitry Kasatkin
Date: Thu Oct 22 2015 - 14:49:59 EST


Crypto HW kernel module can possibly initialize EVM key from the
kernel __init code to enable EVM before calling 'init' process.
This patch provide a function evm_set_key() which can be used to
set custom key directly to EVM without using KEY subsystem.

Changes in v3:
* error reporting moved to evm_set_key
* EVM_INIT_HMAC moved to evm_set_key
* added bitop to prevent key setting race

Changes in v2:
* use size_t for key size instead of signed int
* provide EVM_MAX_KEY_SIZE macro in <linux/evm.h>
* provide EVM_MIN_KEY_SIZE macro in <linux/evm.h>
