block: add generic full disk encryption driver
Add a block driver that is capable of supporting any full disk encryption format. This utilizes the previously added block encryption code, and at this time supports the LUKS format. The driver code is capable of supporting any format supported by the QCryptoBlock module, so it registers one block driver for each format. This patch only registers the "luks" driver since the "qcow" driver is there only for back-compatibility with existing qcow built-in encryption. New LUKS compatible volumes can be formatted using qemu-img with defaults for all settings. $ qemu-img create --object secret,data=123456,id=sec0 \ -f luks -o key-secret=sec0 demo.luks 10G Alternatively the cryptographic settings can be explicitly set $ qemu-img create --object secret,data=123456,id=sec0 \ -f luks -o key-secret=sec0,cipher-alg=aes-256,\ cipher-mode=cbc,ivgen-alg=plain64,hash-alg=sha256 \ demo.luks 10G And query its size $ qemu-img info demo.img image: demo.img file format: luks virtual size: 10G (10737418240 bytes) disk size: 132K encrypted: yes Note that it was not necessary to provide the password when querying info for the volume. The password is only required when performing I/O on the volume All volumes created by this new 'luks' driver should be capable of being opened by the kernel dm-crypt driver. The only algorithms listed in the LUKS spec that are not currently supported by this impl are sha512 and ripemd160 hashes and cast6 cipher.
