Linux kernel source tree
The device mapper dm-crypt target is using scnprintf("%02x", cc->key[i]) to
report the current key to userspace. However, this is not a constant-time
operation and it may leak information about the key via timing, via cache
access patterns or via the branch predictor.
Change dm-crypt's key printing to use "%c" instead of "%02x". Also
introduce hex2asc() that carefully avoids any branching or memory
accesses when converting a number in the range 0 ... 15 to an ascii
character.

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.
