Metadata support for v2 encryption policies
Linux v5.4 and later supports v2 encryption policies. These have
several advantages over v1 encryption policies:
- Their encryption keys can be added/removed to/from the filesystem by
non-root users, thus gaining the benefits of the filesystem keyring
while also retaining support for non-root use.
- They use a more standard, secure, and flexible key derivation
function. Because of this, some future kernel-level fscrypt features
will be implemented for v2 policies only.
- They prevent a denial-of-service attack where a user could associate
the wrong key with another user's encrypted files.
Prepare the fscrypt tool to support v2 encryption policies by:
- Adding a policy_version field to the EncryptionOptions, i.e. to the
config file and to the policy metadata files.
- Using the kernel-specified algorithm to compute the key descriptor for
v2 policies.
- Handling setting and getting v2 policies.
Actually adding/removing the keys for v2 policies to/from the kernel is
left for the next patch.
