  • Provide a function to read raw data of a predetermined size into an MPI rather
    than expecting the size to be encoded within the data. The data is assumed to
    represent an unsigned integer, and the resulting MPI will be positive.

    The function looks like this:

    MPI mpi_read_raw_data(const void *, size_t);

    This is useful for reading ASN.1 integer primitives where the length is encoded
    in the ASN.1 metadata.

  • Adds the multi-precision-integer maths library which was originally taken
    from GnuPG and ported to the kernel by (among others) David Howells.
    This version is taken from Fedora kernel 2.6.32-71.14.1.el6.
    The difference is that checkpatch reported errors and warnings have been fixed.

    This library is used to implemenet RSA digital signature verification
    used in IMA/EVM integrity protection subsystem.

    Due to patch size limitation, the patch is divided into 4 parts.
