The PKWM trusted source currently uses a single default wrapping key per
LPAR. This key is created during trusted source initialization, and all
trusted keys backed by PKWM are sealed and unsealed using it.

Recent versions of PKWM allow users to create and manage their own wrapping
keys through a set of lifecycle operations. This patch series brings these
PKWM capabilities into the kernel, allowing users to create, manage, and
select wrapping keys for sealing and unsealing their trusted keys, rather
than requiring all trusted keys to use the default wrapping key.

This series extends PKWM to support user-created wrapping keys. It adds
the required hcalls, allows users to select a wrapping key by label when
creating PKWM-backed trusted keys, and introduces a sysfs interface for
managing wrapping keys from userspace.

This patchset also includes three fixes: one aligning the PLPKS wrapping
length types with the underlying hcall interfaces, another preserving the
original error returned when default wrapping key generation fails, and a
third clearing sensitive PKWM seal and unseal buffers before freeing them.

This series depends on the following PLPKS refactoring and hardening series
and must be applied on top of it:

Changelog:

v2 -> v3:
- Moved most of the refactoring and hardening patches into a separate
  series:
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260923182816.151451-1-ssrish@linux.ibm.com/
- Added a fix to clear sensitive PKWM seal and unseal buffers before
  freeing them
- Retained Nageswara's Tested-by tag
- Refined error handling and documented default wrapping key restrictions

v1 -> v2:
- Addressed parameter validation issues reported by Nageswara
- Tweaked PLPKS_WRAPKEY_SYSFS Kconfig help text
- Added two preparatory bug-fix patches
- Cc'd stable@vger.kernel.org where applicable

Srish Srinivasan (6):
