<title>crypto: shash - avoid comparing pointers to exported functions under CFI</title>

crypto_shash_alg_has_setkey() is implemented by testing whether the
.setkey() member of a struct shash_alg points to the default version,
called shash_no_setkey(). As crypto_shash_alg_has_setkey() is a static
inline, this requires shash_no_setkey() to be exported to modules.

Unfortunately, when building with CFI, function pointers are routed
via CFI stubs which are private to each module (or to the kernel proper)
and so this function pointer comparison may fail spuriously.

Let's fix this by turning crypto_shash_alg_has_setkey() into an out of
line function.

<title>mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()</title>

As said by Linus:

  A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
  Otherwise it's actively misleading.

  In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
  caller wants.

  In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
  future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
  something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.

The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.

Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.

The renaming is done by using the command sequence:

  git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
  xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'

followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fs/crypto/inline_crypt.c needs linux/slab.h]
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix fs/crypto/inline_crypt.c some more]

<title>crypto: hash - introduce crypto_shash_tfm_digest()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:822a98b862d5b511826765d64ddf18192fc5b694</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the simplest use of the shash API is to use
crypto_shash_digest() to digest a whole buffer.  However, this still
requires allocating a hash descriptor (struct shash_desc).  Many users
don't really want to preallocate one and instead just use a one-off
descriptor on the stack like the following:

	{
		SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK(desc, tfm);
		int err;

		desc-&gt;tfm = tfm;

		err = crypto_shash_digest(desc, data, len, out);

		shash_desc_zero(desc);
	}

Wrap this in a new helper function crypto_shash_tfm_digest() that can be
used instead of the above.

All instances need to have a -&gt;free() method, but people could forget to
set it and then not notice if the instance is never unregistered.  To
help detect this bug earlier, don't allow an instance without a -&gt;free()
method to be registered, and complain loudly if someone tries to do it.

Now that all templates provide a -&gt;create() method which creates an
instance, installs a strongly-typed -&gt;free() method directly to it, and
registers it, the older -&gt;alloc() and -&gt;free() methods in
'struct crypto_template' are no longer used.  Remove them.

Convert shash_free_instance() and its users to the new way of freeing
instances, where a -&gt;free() method is installed to the instance struct
itself.  This replaces the weakly-typed method crypto_template::free().

This will allow removing support for the old way of freeing instances.

Also give shash_free_instance() a more descriptive name to reflect that
it's only for instances with a single spawn, not for any instance.

Add support to shash and ahash for the new way of freeing instances
(already used for skcipher, aead, and akcipher) where a -&gt;free() method
is installed to the instance struct itself.  These methods are more
strongly-typed than crypto_template::free(), which they replace.

This will allow removing support for the old way of freeing instances.

Remove lots of helper functions that were previously used for
instantiating crypto templates, but are now unused:

- crypto_get_attr_alg() and similar functions looked up an inner
  algorithm directly from a template parameter.  These were replaced
  with getting the algorithm's name, then calling crypto_grab_*().

- crypto_init_spawn2() and similar functions initialized a spawn, given
  an algorithm.  Similarly, these were replaced with crypto_grab_*().

- crypto_alloc_instance() and similar functions allocated an instance
  with a single spawn, given the inner algorithm.  These aren't useful
  anymore since crypto_grab_*() need the instance allocated first.

<title>crypto: shash - introduce crypto_grab_shash()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fdfad1fffc2aa199fb447c152a00a5e383a5b973</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, shash spawns are initialized by using shash_attr_alg() or
crypto_alg_mod_lookup() to look up the shash algorithm, then calling
crypto_init_shash_spawn().

This is different from how skcipher, aead, and akcipher spawns are
initialized (they use crypto_grab_*()), and for no good reason.  This
difference introduces unnecessary complexity.

The crypto_grab_*() functions used to have some problems, like not
holding a reference to the algorithm and requiring the caller to
initialize spawn-&gt;base.inst.  But those problems are fixed now.

So, let's introduce crypto_grab_shash() so that we can convert all
templates to the same way of initializing their spawns.
