Bug#868291: linux: Activate CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER & CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_RNG

[Mathieu Malaterre <malat@debian.org>]

Source: linux
Severity: normal

When using libkcapi default programs, one get (with default Debian kernel), the following message:

$ wget http://www.chronox.de/libkcapi/libkcapi-0.13.0.tar.xz
$ tar xf libkcapi-0.13.0.tar.xz
$ cd libkcapi-0.13.0
$ cd lib
$ make
$ cd ../test
$ make
$ ./kcapi -x 3  -c sha1  -p 8c899bba
libkcapi - Error: Netlink error: cannot open netlink socket
libkcapi - Error: Netlink error: cannot open netlink socket
libkcapi - Error: NETLINK_CRYPTO: cannot obtain cipher information for sha1 (is required crypto_user.c patch missing? see documentation)
Allocation of hash sha1 failed
Failed to invoke testing

It would be nice to activate the following kernel options:

CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_AEAD
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_RNG
(CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_AKCIPHER) not required

Only CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER & CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_RNG are missing on my amd64 config.

Thanks
