What is a "512bits AES key"? Do you mean AES-256-XTS (which takes a 512-bit
key, which the XTS mode internally splits into two keys)? Do you allow for
other algorithms, or is it hardcoded to AES-256-XTS? What if someone wants to
use a different algorithm?
BTW, it's difficult to review this with only patch 3/3 Cc'ed to me, as there is
no context about the problem you are trying to solve and what your actual
proposed kernel changes are. I suggest Cc'ing linux-crypto on all 3 patches.
A few more comments below, from a very brief reading of the code:

Why are the ioctl numbers defined based on the size of 'struct
hibernation_crypto_keys'? It's not a UAPI structure, right?

No error checking on the ioctl?
Also, how is the kernel supposed to know how long the key is, and which
algorithm it's supposed to be used for? I assume it's hardcoded to AES-256-XTS?
What if someone wants to use a different algorithm?

I haven't read this super closely, but this really looks like an off-by-one
error. It seems you intended MAX_PASSPHRASE_SIZE to include a null terminator,
so the correct check would be 'strlen(p) >= MAX_PASSPHRASE_SIZE'.

Salts don't need to be human-readable. How about making the salt binary? So, a
salt specified on the command-line would be hex.
