Thanks for the work on this and I'm excited to try this. I'm currently
playing with this and one thing I've noticed is that an export restricted
CAAM isn't handled properly.
That is, there are CAAM's which aren't fully featured. Normally, the
caam driver will take care of it. For example, see commit f20311cc9c58
("crypto: caam - disable pkc for non-E SoCs"). For the trusted keys case,
it would be nice if the kernel will not even probe (or similar).
Right now, everything seems to work fine, but once I try to add a new key,
I'll get the following errros:
# keyctl add trusted mykey "new 32" @u
add_key: Invalid argument
[ 23.138714] caam_jr 8020000.jr: 20000b0f: CCB: desc idx 11: : Invalid CHA selected.
[ 23.138740] trusted_key: key_seal failed (-22)
Again this is expected, because I run it on a non-E version. IMHO, it
should be that the trusted keys shouldn't be enabled at all. Like it is
for example if an unknown rng is given:
trusted_key: Unsupported RNG. Supported: kernel, default
Thanks,
