 * sufficient here.  A 512-bit security strength is "nice to have", though.
 * Also, on 64-bit CPUs, SHA-512 is usually just as fast as SHA-256.  In the
 * common case of deriving an AES-256-XTS key (512 bits), that can result in
 * HKDF-SHA512 being much faster than HKDF-SHA256, as the longer digest size of
 * SHA-512 causes HKDF-Expand to only need to do one iteration rather than two.

 * HKDF consists of two steps:
 *
 * 1. HKDF-Extract: extract a pseudorandom key of length HKDF_HASHLEN bytes from
 *    the input keying material and optional salt.
 * 2. HKDF-Expand: expand the pseudorandom key into output keying material of
 *    any length, parameterized by an application-specific info string.
 *
 * HKDF-Extract can be skipped if the input is already a pseudorandom key of
 * length HKDF_HASHLEN bytes.  However, cipher modes other than AES-256-XTS take
 * shorter keys, and we don't want to force users of those modes to provide
 * unnecessarily long master keys.  Thus fscrypt still does HKDF-Extract.  No
 * salt is used, since fscrypt master keys should already be pseudorandom and
 * there's no way to persist a random salt per master key from kernel mode.
 */

/*
 * Compute HKDF-Extract using the given master key as the input keying material,
 * and prepare an HMAC transform object keyed by the resulting pseudorandom key.
 *
 * Afterwards, the keyed HMAC transform object can be used for HKDF-Expand many
 * times without having to recompute HKDF-Extract each time.
