A subsequent commit will introduce "dh" wrapping templates of the form
"ffdhe2048(dh)", "ffdhe3072(dh)" and so on in order to provide built-in
support for the well-known safe-prime ffdhe group parameters specified in
RFC 7919.
Those templates' ->set_secret() will wrap the inner "dh" implementation's
->set_secret() and set the ->p and ->g group parameters as appropriate on
the way inwards. More specifically,
- A ffdheXYZ(dh) user would call crypto_dh_encode() on a struct dh instance
having ->p == ->g == NULL as well as ->p_size == ->g_size == 0 and pass
the resulting buffer to the outer ->set_secret().
- This outer ->set_secret() would then decode the struct dh via
crypto_dh_decode_key(), set ->p, ->g, ->p_size as well as ->g_size as
appropriate for the group in question and encode the struct dh again
before passing it further down to the inner "dh"'s ->set_secret().
The problem is that crypto_dh_decode_key() implements some basic checks
which would reject parameter sets with ->p_size == 0 and thus, the ffdheXYZ
templates' ->set_secret() cannot use it as-is for decoding the passed
buffer. As the inner "dh"'s ->set_secret() will eventually conduct said
checks on the final parameter set anyway, the outer ->set_secret() really
only needs the decoding functionality.
Split out the pure struct dh decoding part from crypto_dh_decode_key() into
the new __crypto_dh_decode_key().
__crypto_dh_decode_key() gets defined in crypto/dh_helper.c, but will have
to get called from crypto/dh.c and thus, its declaration must be somehow
made available to the latter. Strictly speaking, __crypto_dh_decode_key()
is internal to the dh_generic module, yet it would be a bit over the top
to introduce a new header like e.g. include/crypto/internal/dh.h
containing just a single prototype. Add the __crypto_dh_decode_key()
declaration to include/crypto/dh.h instead.
Provide a proper kernel-doc annotation, even though
__crypto_dh_decode_key() is purposedly not on the function list specified
in Documentation/crypto/api-kpp.rst.
