A sig_alg backend has just been introduced with the intent of moving all asymmetric sign/verify algorithms to it one by one. Migrate the sign/verify operations from rsa-pkcs1pad.c to a separate rsassa-pkcs1.c which uses the new backend. Consequently there are now two templates which build on the "rsa" akcipher_alg: * The existing "pkcs1pad" template, which is instantiated as an akcipher_instance and retains the encrypt/decrypt operations of RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5 (RFC 8017 sec 7.2). * The new "pkcs1" template, which is instantiated as a sig_instance and contains the sign/verify operations of RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 (RFC 8017 sec 8.2). In a separate step, rsa-pkcs1pad.c could optionally be renamed to rsaes-pkcs1.c for clarity. Additional "oaep" and "pss" templates could be added for RSAES-OAEP and RSASSA-PSS. Note that it's currently allowed to allocate a "pkcs1pad(rsa)" transform without specifying a hash algorithm. That makes sense if the transform is only used for encrypt/decrypt and continues to be supported. But for sign/verify, such transforms previously did not insert the Full Hash Prefix into the padding. The resulting message encoding was incompliant with EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 (RFC 8017 sec 9.2) and therefore nonsensical. From here on in, it is no longer allowed to allocate a transform without specifying a hash algorithm if the transform is used for sign/verify operations. This simplifies the code because the insertion of the Full Hash Prefix is no longer optional, so various "if (digest_info)" clauses can be removed. There has been a previous attempt to forbid transform allocation without specifying a hash algorithm, namely by commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
