[PATCH 0/4] crypto: add ECDSA signature support to key retention service

Kernel Key Retention Service[1] is a useful building block to build secure
production key management systems. One of its interesting features is
support for asymmetric keys: we can allow a process to use a certain key
(decrypt or sign data) without actually allowing the process to read the
cryptographic key material. By doing so we protect our code from certain
type of attacks, where a process memory memory leak actually leaks a
potentially highly sensitive cryptographic material.

But unfortunately only RSA algorithm was supported until now, because
in-kernel ECDSA implementation supported signature verifications only.

This patchset implements in-kernel ECDSA signature generation and adds
support for ECDSA signing in the key retention service. The key retention
service support was taken out of a previous unmerged patchset from Lei He[2]
