Linux Kernel Crypto API User Space Interface Library
libkcapi allows user-space to access the Linux kernel crypto API.
libkcapi uses this Netlink interface and exports easy to use APIs so that a developer does not need to consider the low-level Netlink interface handling.
The library does not implement any cipher algorithms. All consumer requests are sent to the kernel for processing. Results from the kernel crypto API are returned to the consumer via the library API.
The kernel interface and therefore this library can be used by unprivileged processes.
The focus during the development of this library is put on speed. This library does not perform any memcpy for processing the cryptographic data! The library uses scatter / gather lists to eliminate the need for moving data around in memory.

- Update to version 1.3.1
* fix: fix -Wconversion warnings (by Ondrej Mosnacek)
* fix: fix bad data types in _kcapi_common_send_meta (by Ondrej Mosnacek)
* fix: Version symbols to maintain ABI compatibility (by Simo Sorce)
* fix: disable io_getevents on systems that do not support it (by Khem Raj)
* fix: remove prctl PR_SET_DUMPABLE to allow library to be debugged - as the
library does not store any sensitive data in data structures it owns, such
security precautions may not be necessary considering the benefit of
allowing regular debugging
* fix: ensure that sendmsg is always used as fallback when vmsplice cannot be
used
* enhancement: add kcapi_set_maxsplicesize and kcapi_get_maxsplicesize
* enhancement: the variable types are changed from int32_t to ssize_t and
from uint32_t to size_t to match common POSIX and Linux APIs
- Added libkcapi-fix-lto.patch
