<title>fscrypt: add support for IV_INO_LBLK_32 policies</title>

The eMMC inline crypto standard will only specify 32 DUN bits (a.k.a. IV
bits), unlike UFS's 64.  IV_INO_LBLK_64 is therefore not applicable, but
an encryption format which uses one key per policy and permits the
moving of encrypted file contents (as f2fs's garbage collector requires)
is still desirable.

To support such hardware, add a new encryption format IV_INO_LBLK_32
that makes the best use of the 32 bits: the IV is set to
'SipHash-2-4(inode_number) + file_logical_block_number mod 2^32', where
the SipHash key is derived from the fscrypt master key.  We hash only
the inode number and not also the block number, because we need to
maintain contiguity of DUNs to merge bios.

Unlike with IV_INO_LBLK_64, with this format IV reuse is possible; this
is unavoidable given the size of the DUN.  This means this format should
only be used where the requirements of the first paragraph apply.
However, the hash spreads out the IVs in the whole usable range, and the
use of a keyed hash makes it difficult for an attacker to determine
which files use which IVs.

Besides the above differences, this flag works like IV_INO_LBLK_64 in
that on ext4 it is only allowed if the stable_inodes feature has been
enabled to prevent inode numbers and the filesystem UUID from changing.

Since v1 encryption policies are deprecated, make test_dummy_encryption

Note that this causes ext4/023 and ext4/028 to start failing due to

v1 encryption policies are deprecated in favor of v2, and some new
features (e.g. encryption+casefolding) are only being added for v2.

Therefore, the "test_dummy_encryption" mount option (which is used for
encryption I/O testing with xfstests) needs to support v2 policies.

To do this, extend its syntax to be "test_dummy_encryption=v1" or
"test_dummy_encryption=v2".  The existing "test_dummy_encryption" (no
argument) also continues to be accepted, to specify the default setting
-- currently v1, but the next patch changes it to v2.

To cleanly support both v1 and v2 while also making it easy to support
specifying other encryption settings in the future (say, accepting
"$contents_mode:$filenames_mode:v2"), make ext4 and f2fs maintain a
pointer to the dummy fscrypt_context rather than using mount flags.

To avoid concurrency issues, don't allow test_dummy_encryption to be set
or changed during a remount.  (The former restriction is new, but
xfstests doesn't run into it, so no one should notice.)

Tested with 'gce-xfstests -c {ext4,f2fs}/encrypt -g auto'.  On ext4,
there are two regressions, both of which are test bugs: ext4/023 and
ext4/028 fail because they set an xattr and expect it to be stored
inline, but the increase in size of the fscrypt_context from
24 to 40 bytes causes this xattr to be spilled into an external block.

Currently, the test_dummy_encryption mount option (which is used for
encryption I/O testing with xfstests) uses v1 encryption policies, and
it relies on userspace inserting a test key into the session keyring.

We need test_dummy_encryption to support v2 encryption policies too.
Requiring userspace to add the test key doesn't work well with v2
policies, since v2 policies only support the filesystem keyring (not the
session keyring), and keys in the filesystem keyring are lost when the
filesystem is unmounted.  Hooking all test code that unmounts and
re-mounts the filesystem would be difficult.

Instead, let's make the filesystem automatically add the test key to its
keyring when test_dummy_encryption is enabled.

That puts the responsibility for choosing the test key on the kernel.
We could just hard-code a key.  But out of paranoia, let's first try
using a per-boot random key, to prevent this code from being misused.
A per-boot key will work as long as no one expects dummy-encrypted files
to remain accessible after a reboot.  (gce-xfstests doesn't.)

Therefore, this patch adds a function fscrypt_add_test_dummy_key() which
implements the above.  The next patch will use it.

Remove the unnecessary 'extern' keywords from function declarations.
This makes it so that we don't have a mix of both styles, so it won't be
ambiguous what to use in new fscrypt patches.  This also makes the code
shorter and matches the 'checkpatch --strict' expectation.

Most of these were due to missing documentation for function parameters.

Detected with:

This cleanup makes it possible to check new patches for kerneldoc

For consistency, also adjust some function "brief descriptions" to

<content type='text'>
Add an ioctl FS_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_NONCE which retrieves the nonce from
an encrypted file or directory.  The nonce is the 16-byte random value
stored in the inode's encryption xattr.  It is normally used together
with the master key to derive the inode's actual encryption key.

The nonces are needed by automated tests that verify the correctness of
the ciphertext on-disk.  Except for the IV_INO_LBLK_64 case, there's no
way to replicate a file's ciphertext without knowing that file's nonce.

The nonces aren't secret, and the existing ciphertext verification tests
in xfstests retrieve them from disk using debugfs or dump.f2fs.  But in
environments that lack these debugging tools, getting the nonces by
manually parsing the filesystem structure would be very hard.

To make this important type of testing much easier, let's just add an
ioctl that retrieves the nonce.

Add an ioctl FS_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_NONCE which retrieves the nonce from
an encrypted file or directory.  The nonce is the 16-byte random value
stored in the inode's encryption xattr.  It is normally used together
with the master key to derive the inode's actual encryption key.
