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.

Use the new name for fscrypt constants and structures which have been
given a new name.
Also use the named constant for the DIRECT_KEY fscrypt policy flag.
No change in behavior. This is just preparing for future work.

As new encryption modes are being added to the kernel that use 128 bit
keys (see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9741913), we will need the
encryption modes to be more descriptive.
This change breaks backwards compatibility for the protobuf, but that's
fine because we have not released yet.

This commit adds in IsValid() checks for the metadata structures that
let us enforce stronger invariants than those imposed by the protobuf
package. The main uses of this will be to check that metadata is valid
before writing it to the filesystem, and to check that the filesystem
contains valid metadata before returning it to the user. These functions
also will log the exact reason if the validity checks fail.
To have these checks in the metadata package, all of the various
constants have been moved to a single metadata/constants.go file. The
uses of these constants were changed accordingly.
Finally, this commit standardizes our use of errors so that they always
begin with an appropriate prefix.
