Subject: [GIT PULL] security: keys fixes for v4.14-rc3

Hi Linus,

Please pull these fixes for the keys subsystem.

Notable here is a rewrite of big_key crypto by Jason Donenfeld to address 
some issues in the original code.

>From Jason's commit log:

"This started out as just replacing the use of crypto/rng with 
get_random_bytes_wait, so that we wouldn't use bad randomness at boot 
time. But, upon looking further, it appears that there were even deeper 
underlying cryptographic problems, and that this seems to have been 
committed with very little crypto review. So, I rewrote the whole thing, 
trying to keep to the conventions introduced by the previous author, to 
fix these cryptographic flaws."

There has been positive review of the new code by Eric Biggers and Herbert 
Xu, and it passes basic testing via the keyutils test suite.  Eric also 
manually tested it.

Generally speaking, we likely need to improve the amount of crypto review 
for kernel crypto users including keys (I'll post a note separately to 
ksummit-discuss).
