Pull keys fixes from James Morris:
"Notable here is a rewrite of big_key crypto by Jason Donenfeld to
address some issues in the original code.
From Jason's commit log:
"This started out as just replacing the use of crypto/rng with
get_random_bytes_wait, so that we wouldn't use bad randomness at
boot time. But, upon looking further, it appears that there were
even deeper underlying cryptographic problems, and that this seems
to have been committed with very little crypto review. So, I rewrote
the whole thing, trying to keep to the conventions introduced by the
previous author, to fix these cryptographic flaws."
There has been positive review of the new code by Eric Biggers and
Herbert Xu, and it passes basic testing via the keyutils test suite.
Eric also manually tested it.
Generally speaking, we likely need to improve the amount of crypto
review for kernel crypto users including keys (I'll post a note
separately to ksummit-discuss)"

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
