This should be everything needed on libblockdev side, but keeping this as draft until I start working on the blivet part of the support.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added pervasive encryption (PAES) support on s390 systems.
    • Added secure-key generation, listing, removal, and information management.
    • Added cryptsetup operations for setting verification patterns and validating encrypted volumes.
    • Added technology availability checks with clear error reporting.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of secure-key listings containing multiple volumes and APQNs.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the new PAES and secure-key APIs.

Add a new 'paes' technology and 'zkey' runtime dependency to the s390
plugin, along with new functions for managing secure keys:

- bd_s390_zkey_generate() generates a new XTS/LUKS2 secure key in the
  secure key repository
- bd_s390_zkey_list() lists the secure keys in the repository (all keys
  or a single one by name), returning the parsed information in the new
  BDS390ZkeyInfo boxed struct
- bd_s390_zkey_remove() removes a secure key from the repository

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The s390 plugin adds PAES support and zkey APIs for secure-key generation, listing, removal, copying, and cryptsetup operations. It also adds dependency detection, public declarations, documentation entries, test fixtures, and test dependency setup.

Changes

s390 PAES zkey support

Layer / File(s) Summary
PAES and zkey API contracts
src/lib/plugin_apis/s390.api, src/plugins/s390.h
The API adds PAES enums, a zkey error code, BDS390ZkeyInfo, copy/free helpers, and zkey management declarations.
zkey command integration
src/plugins/s390.c
The plugin registers zkey and zkey-cryptsetup, checks PAES availability, executes zkey operations, parses multi-line key listings, and manages BDS390ZkeyInfo values.
Documentation and test coverage
docs/libblockdev-sections.txt, tests/s390_test.py, tests/fake_utils/*, tests/utils.py, tests/Makefile.am, misc/libblockdev-tasks.yml
The gtk-doc symbol list includes the new API. Fake utilities and tests cover multiple keys, APQNs, volumes, and missing utility dependencies. Test setup registers the s390 plugin and installs s390utils on supported systems.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to de8df

This PR adds public APIs that generate, remove, validate, and modify secure-key-backed encrypted volumes. The current contract may direct callers to provide the wrong file type for cryptsetup operations, while argument handling and interrupted mutations leave bounded security and recovery risks; these issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

In `@src/lib/plugin_apis/s390.api`:
- Around line 328-360: Rename the key_file parameter to passphrase_file for
bd_s390_zkey_cryptsetup_setvp and bd_s390_zkey_cryptsetup_validate, and document
that it contains the LUKS passphrase consumed by zkey-cryptsetup --key-file
rather than a secure .skey file. Apply the matching parameter and
validation-error text updates in src/lib/plugin_apis/s390.api (328-360),
src/plugins/s390.h (93-94), and src/plugins/s390.c (1352-1407).

In `@src/plugins/s390.c`:
- Around line 113-115: The BD_S390_TECH_PAES branch must also require
DEPS_ZKEY_CRYPTSETUP_MASK, since bd_s390_zkey_cryptsetup_setvp and
bd_s390_zkey_cryptsetup_validate depend on zkey-cryptsetup. Update the
availability check using the appropriate dependency category or combined mask so
PAES is not reported available when that utility is missing.
- Around line 1253-1258: Update the parsing loop around the colon check and
BDS390ZkeyInfo.apqns handling so indented APQN continuation lines without a
colon are recognized and appended to the current record’s APQNs. Continue
ignoring separators, blank lines, and unrelated continuation lines, while
preserving the existing first-APQN parsing behavior.

Add two new functions wrapping the 'zkey-cryptsetup' utility for working
with the pervasive encryption setup of an existing LUKS2 volume:

- bd_s390_zkey_cryptsetup_setvp() sets the verification pattern of a
  secure key in the LUKS2 metadata of a device
- bd_s390_zkey_cryptsetup_validate() validates that a LUKS2 device is
  correctly set up for pervasive encryption with a given secure key

Both add 'zkey-cryptsetup' as a new runtime dependency of the s390
plugin.

The 'zkey list' output prints multi-value fields (Volumes, APQNs) with the
first item next to the label and any further items on continuation lines
indented to the value column. The parser discarded lines without a colon and
split values on commas, so only the first APQN/volume was ever captured (and
comma splitting never matched the real output at all).

Detect continuation lines by indentation instead of the absence of a colon --
a volume is formatted as "volume:dmname" and thus contains a colon on its
continuation lines -- and accumulate the items into the resulting array.

Add fake_utils-based tests covering multiple keys, multiple APQNs and multiple
volumes.
