[PATCH bpf-next v4 2/6] crypto: Add BPF signature algorithm type registration module

Daniel Hodges
2026-01-05T17:43:42Z

Add a new bpf_crypto_sig module that registers signature verification
algorithms with the BPF crypto type system. This enables signature
operations (like ECDSA) to use the unified bpf_crypto_ctx structure
instead of requiring separate context types.

The module provides:
- alloc_tfm/free_tfm for crypto_sig transform lifecycle
- has_algo to check algorithm availability
- get_flags for crypto API flags

This allows ECDSA and other signature verification operations to
integrate with the existing BPF crypto infrastructure.
