Add an interface to read Fibre Channel Endpoint Security information of FCP channels and their connections to FC remote ports. It comes in the form of new sysfs attributes that are attached to the CCW device representing the FCP device and its zfcp port objects. The read-only sysfs attribute "fc_security" of a CCW device representing a FCP device shows the FC Endpoint Security capabilities of the device. Possible values are: "unknown", "unsupported", "none", or a comma- separated list of one or more mnemonics and/or one hexadecimal value representing the supported FC Endpoint Security: Authentication: Authentication supported Encryption : Encryption supported The read-only sysfs attribute "fc_security" of a zfcp port object shows the FC Endpoint Security used on the connection between its parent FCP device and the FC remote port. Possible values are: "unknown", "unsupported", "none", or a mnemonic or hexadecimal value representing the FC Endpoint Security used: Authentication: Connection has been authenticated Encryption : Connection is encrypted Both sysfs attributes may return hexadecimal values instead of mnemonics, if the mnemonic lookup table does not contain an entry for the FC Endpoint Security reported by the FCP device.

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.
