[ Upstream commit dcc47a028c24e793ce6d6efebfef1a1e92f80297 ]

As the null algorithm may be freed in softirq context through
af_alg, use spin locks instead of mutexes to protect the default
null algorithm.

<title>crypto: make all generic algorithms set cra_driver_name</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d6ebf5286f8f94a254a8c90d4b9f2a8b076a8634</id>
<content type='text'>
Most generic crypto algorithms declare a driver name ending in
"-generic".  The rest don't declare a driver name and instead rely on
the crypto API automagically appending "-generic" upon registration.

Having multiple conventions is unnecessarily confusing and makes it
harder to grep for all generic algorithms in the kernel source tree.
But also, allowing NULL driver names is problematic because sometimes
people fail to set it, e.g. the case fixed by commit 417980364300
("crypto: cavium/zip - fix collision with generic cra_driver_name").

Of course, people can also incorrectly name their drivers "-generic".
But that's much easier to notice / grep for.

Therefore, let's make cra_driver_name mandatory.  In preparation for
this, this patch makes all generic algorithms set cra_driver_name.

<title>crypto: run initcalls for generic implementations earlier</title>

<content type='text'>
Use subsys_initcall for registration of all templates and generic
algorithm implementations, rather than module_init.  Then change
cryptomgr to use arch_initcall, to place it before the subsys_initcalls.

This is needed so that when both a generic and optimized implementation
of an algorithm are built into the kernel (not loadable modules), the
generic implementation is registered before the optimized one.
Otherwise, the self-tests for the optimized implementation are unable to
allocate the generic implementation for the new comparison fuzz tests.

Note that on arm, a side effect of this change is that self-tests for
generic implementations may run before the unaligned access handler has
been installed.  So, unaligned accesses will crash the kernel.  This is
arguably a good thing as it makes it easier to detect that type of bug.

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
replaces struct crypto_skcipher and SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK() usage
with struct crypto_sync_skcipher and SYNC_SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK(),
which uses a fixed stack size.

<title>crypto: shash - remove useless setting of type flags</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e50944e219f908968a6e01fbd0e8811a33bd5f04</id>
<content type='text'>
Many shash algorithms set .cra_flags = CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_SHASH.  But this
is redundant with the C structure type ('struct shash_alg'), and
crypto_register_shash() already sets the type flag automatically,
clearing any type flag that was already there.  Apparently the useless
assignment has just been copy+pasted around.

So, remove the useless assignment from all the shash algorithms.

This patch shouldn't change any actual behavior.

Current the default null skcipher is actually a crypto_blkcipher.
This patch creates a synchronous crypto_skcipher version of the
null cipher which unfortunately has to settle for the name skcipher2.
