commit 44e8241c51f762aafa50ed116da68fd6ecdcc954 upstream.

On big endian arm kernels, the arm optimized Curve25519 code produces
incorrect outputs and fails the Curve25519 test.  This has been true
ever since this code was added.

It seems that hardly anyone (or even no one?) actually uses big endian
arm kernels.  But as long as they're ostensibly supported, we should
disable this code on them so that it's not accidentally used.

Note: for future-proofing, use !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN instead of
CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN.  Both of these are arch-specific options that could
get removed in the future if big endian support gets dropped.

[ Upstream commit 53cc9baeb9bc2a187eb9c9790d30995148852b12 ]

clang-16 warns about casting between incompatible function types:

      |                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fix the prototypes for the assembler functions to match the typedef.
The code already relies on the digest being the first part of the
state structure, so there is no change in behavior.

[ Upstream commit 2d16803c562ecc644803d42ba98a8e0aef9c014e ]

BLAKE2s has no currently known use as an shash. Just remove all of this
unnecessary plumbing. Removing this shash was something we talked about
back when we were making BLAKE2s a built-in, but I simply never got
around to doing it. So this completes that project.

Importantly, this fixs a bug in which the lib code depends on
crypto_simd_disabled_for_test, causing linker errors.

Also add more alignment tests to the selftests and compare SIMD and
non-SIMD compression functions, to make up for what we lose from
testmgr.c.

commit d2a02e3c8bb6b347818518edff5a4b40ff52d6d8 upstream.

blake2s_compress_generic is weakly aliased by blake2s_compress. The
current harness for function selection uses a function pointer, which is
ordinarily inlined and resolved at compile time. But when Clang's CFI is
enabled, CFI still triggers when making an indirect call via a weak
symbol. This seems like a bug in Clang's CFI, as though it's bucketing
weak symbols and strong symbols differently. It also only seems to
trigger when "full LTO" mode is used, rather than "thin LTO".

Nonetheless, the function pointer method isn't so terrific anyway, so
this patch replaces it with a simple boolean, which also gets inlined
away. This successfully works around the Clang bug.

In general, I'm not too keen on all of the indirection involved here; it
clearly does more harm than good. Hopefully the whole thing can get
cleaned up down the road when lib/crypto is overhauled more
comprehensively. But for now, we go with a simple bandaid.

commit 6048fdcc5f269c7f31d774c295ce59081b36e6f9 upstream.

In preparation for using blake2s in the RNG, we change the way that it
is wired-in to the build system. Instead of using ifdefs to select the
right symbol, we use weak symbols. And because ARM doesn't need the
generic implementation, we make the generic one default only if an arch
library doesn't need it already, and then have arch libraries that do
need it opt-in. So that the arch libraries can remain tristate rather
than bool, we then split the shash part from the glue code.

Rename module_init &amp; module_exit functions that are named
"mod_init" and "mod_exit" so that they are unique in both the
System.map file and in initcall_debug output instead of showing
up as almost anonymous "mod_init".

This is helpful for debugging and in determining how long certain
module_init calls take to execute.

<id>urn:sha1:44200f2d9b8b52389c70e6c7bbe51e0dc6eaf938</id>
<content type='text'>
Debian's clang carries a patch that makes the default FPU mode
'vfp3-d16' instead of 'neon' for 'armv7-a' to avoid generating NEON
instructions on hardware that does not support them:

https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-llvm-team/llvm-toolchain/-/raw/5a61ca6f21b4ad8c6ac4970e5ea5a7b5b4486d22/debian/patches/clang-arm-default-vfp3-on-armv7a.patch
https://bugs.debian.org/841474
https://bugs.debian.org/842142
https://bugs.debian.org/914268

This results in the following build error when clang's integrated
assembler is used because the '.arch' directive overrides the '.fpu'
directive:

arch/arm/crypto/curve25519-core.S:25:2: error: instruction requires: NEON
 vmov.i32 q0, #1
 ^
arch/arm/crypto/curve25519-core.S:26:2: error: instruction requires: NEON
 vshr.u64 q1, q0, #7
 ^
arch/arm/crypto/curve25519-core.S:27:2: error: instruction requires: NEON
 vshr.u64 q0, q0, #8
 ^
arch/arm/crypto/curve25519-core.S:28:2: error: instruction requires: NEON
 vmov.i32 d4, #19
 ^

Shuffle the order of the '.arch' and '.fpu' directives so that the code
builds regardless of the default FPU mode. This has been tested against
both clang with and without Debian's patch and GCC.
