[PATCH v2 1/3] crypto: Introduce notifier for new crypto algorithms

From: Martin K. Petersen
Date: Thu Aug 30 2018 - 11:00:46 EST


Introduce a facility that can be used to receive a notification
callback when a new algorithm becomes available. This can be used by
existing crypto registrations to trigger a switch from a software-only
algorithm to a hardware-accelerated version.

A new CRYPTO_MSG_ALG_LOADED state is introduced to the existing crypto
notification chain, and the register/unregister functions are exported
so they can be called by subsystems outside of crypto.
