[PATCH v2 0/8] cryptodev: add RSA-OAEP and RSA-PSS padding support

The asymmetric crypto capability structure currently reports only a
generic modulus length and primary hash algorithm for RSA, with no
way for a PMD to advertise which padding schemes (NONE, PKCS#1 v1.5,
OAEP, PSS) or MGF1 hash algorithms it supports. Applications have no
standard way to discover this, and the OpenSSL PMD itself only
implements NONE and PKCS#1 v1.5 padding.
This series first extends the capability API with a dedicated
rte_crypto_rsa_capa (modulus length, pad_types, mgf1_hash_algos, and
an explicit-PSS-salt flag), then updates the capability reporting in
the octeontx, cnxk, and openssl PMDs to use it.
On top of that, it adds actual RSA-OAEP and RSA-PSS support to the
OpenSSL PMD:
- RSA-OAEP encrypt/decrypt, with configurable OAEP hash, MGF1 hash,
and an optional label, defaulting MGF1 to the OAEP hash when
unset.
- RSA-PSS sign/verify, with configurable hash, MGF1 hash, and salt
length (rte_crypto_rsa_padding::pss_saltlen), using a dedicated
EVP_PKEY_verify()-based verification path since PSS does not
support verify-recover. The PSS salt itself is always generated
internally by the PMD; an application-supplied salt
(rte_crypto_rsa_op_param::pss_salt, gated by the new
pss_explicit_salt capability bit) is introduced by this series
for future PMD support but is not yet implemented here, so it is
rejected with RTE_CRYPTO_OP_STATUS_INVALID_ARGS.
Test coverage for both OAEP (encrypt/decrypt, default and custom
MGF1, with and without a label) and PSS (digest-length, maximum, and
zero-length salt) is added to the cryptodev asymmetric test suite.
v2:
- Dropped the virtio and qat capability-advertisement patches from
this series; they will be sent separately.
- Documented the new rsa_capa/pss_salt fields in release_26_11.rst
(this series' target release) instead of the already-released
26.07 notes.
