SP800-108 defines three KDFs - this patch provides the counter KDF implementation. The KDF is implemented as a service function where the caller has to maintain the hash / HMAC state. Apart from this hash/HMAC state, no additional state is required to be maintained by either the caller or the KDF implementation. The key for the KDF is set with the crypto_kdf108_setkey function which is intended to be invoked before the caller requests a key derivation operation via crypto_kdf108_ctr_generate. SP800-108 allows the use of either a HMAC or a hash as crypto primitive for the KDF. When a HMAC primtive is intended to be used, crypto_kdf108_setkey must be used to set the HMAC key. Otherwise, for a hash crypto primitve crypto_kdf108_ctr_generate can be used immediately after allocating the hash handle.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
