If configured with "--with-kernel-headers=PATH" try to extract hash
algorithms from "hash_info.h" from the kernel source tree or
kernel-headers package located in the specified path. (Otherwise, it
will be tried to get from the installed kernel.)

This also introduces two algorithm lists, one is built-in and another is
from the kernel source. (They should never contain conflicting algorithm
IDs by their append-only nature.) If the digest is not found in the
built-in list it will be searched in the list from kernel's
"hash_info.h".

This patch will allow evmctl to be just recompiled to work with digest
algorithms introduced in the newer kernels.

Defaulting to the currently running kernel build tree would have been
nice.

Almost perfectly matches crypto/hash_crypto.c!  Waiting to see if/how
the next patch addresses the differences...

Assuming the two lists are in sync, which they should be, "i" could be
set to PKEY_HASH__LAST.

Then you could extract "hash_algo_name[]" from crypto/hash_info.c
directly.

It already does. As description states "(Otherwise, it will be tried to get
from the installed kernel.)" Also:

if "--with-kernel-headers" is not specified it will default to
`/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/source` which points to the kernel-headers or
kernel source tree root.

I could add this, BUT this will mean that developer with kernel tree
(very small amount of users) will have slightly different algos list
than a common person with a kernel-headers package. And I don't know a
single distro which packs full kernel source (with crypto/hash_info.c)
as easy to install package, and which would link appropriately into
/lib/modules/. So this is highly doubtful that user will be inclined to
install kernel source via usually complicated procedure just to compile
evmctl.

I already tried to address this possible difference issue by algocmp()
which would not compare `_` and `-` chars, which is the only difference
from hash_algo_name in the kernel and in ima-evm-utils and OpenSSL. So,
even without this feature (of parsing crypto/hash_info.c) added, user
already can specify any algo from crypto/hash_info.c and it will just
work.

Could you elaborate again on what I should do with this suggestion?
I guessed crypto/hash_crypto.c is crypto/hash_info.c, but what
differences you expecting?

Can not do that, since pkey_hash_algo is currently sparse array and could
skip entries which are present in hash_algo_name.

Note, that since "[PATCH v2 7/7] ima-evm-utils: Try to load digest by
its alias" lists will have different semantics: the pkey_hash_algo list is
compared algo names with strmatch which supports algo aliases, and the
hash_algo_name list is compared using algocmp which does not compare
non-alphanumeric chars such as `_` and `-`, so streebog-512, streebog_512
or just streebog512 all would work (to match algo id).

Concluding, if you would not insist on parsing crypto/hash_info.c, I
don't need fixing anything in this patch.

I missed that.

Agreed, the patch looks fine as is.
