[ Upstream commit 270b6f13454cb7f2f7058c50df64df409c5dcf55 ]

Only add ecb to the cipher name if it isn't already ecb.

Also use memcmp instead of strncmp since these strings are all
stored in an array of length CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME.

[ Upstream commit babb80b3ecc6f40c962e13c654ebcd27f25ee327 ]

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().

Direct replacement is safe here since return value of -errno
is used to check for truncation instead of sizeof(dest).

[ Upstream commit 51c082514c2dedf2711c99d93c196cc4eedceb40 ]

As it is xts only handles the special return value of EINPROGRESS,
which means that in all other cases it will free data related to the
request.

However, as the caller of xts may specify MAY_BACKLOG, we also need
to expect EBUSY and treat it in the same way.  Otherwise backlogged
requests will trigger a use-after-free.

The xts module needs ecb to be present as it's meant to work
on top of ecb.  This patch adds a softdep so ecb can be included
automatically into the initramfs.

<title>crypto: remove cipher routines from public crypto API</title>

The cipher routines in the crypto API are mostly intended for templates
implementing skcipher modes generically in software, and shouldn't be
used outside of the crypto subsystem. So move the prototypes and all
related definitions to a new header file under include/crypto/internal.
Also, let's use the new module namespace feature to move the symbol
exports into a new namespace CRYPTO_INTERNAL.

Colin reports that the memcpy() call in xts_cts_final() trigggers a
"Overlapping buffer in memory copy" warning in Coverity, which is a
false postive, given that tail is guaranteed to be smaller than or
equal to the distance between source and destination.

However, given that any additional bytes that we copy will be ignored
anyway, we can simply copy XTS_BLOCK_SIZE unconditionally, which means
we can use struct assignment of the array members instead, which is
likely to be more efficient as well.

Overly-generic names can cause problems like naming collisions,
confusing crash reports, and reduced grep-ability.  E.g. see
commit d099ea6e6fde ("crypto - Avoid free() namespace collision").

Clean this up for the xts template by prefixing the names with "xts_".

(I didn't use "crypto_xts_" instead because that seems overkill.)

Also constify the tfm context in a couple places, and make
xts_free_instance() use the instance context structure so that it
doesn't just assume the crypto_skcipher_spawn is at the beginning.

<title>crypto: algapi - add NEED_FALLBACK to INHERITED_FLAGS</title>

<content type='text'>
CRYPTO_ALG_NEED_FALLBACK is handled inconsistently.  When it's requested
to be clear, some templates propagate that request to child algorithms,
while others don't.

It's apparently desired for NEED_FALLBACK to be propagated, to avoid
deadlocks where a module tries to load itself while it's being
initialized, and to avoid unnecessarily complex fallback chains where we
have e.g. cbc-aes-$driver falling back to cbc(aes-$driver) where
aes-$driver itself falls back to aes-generic, instead of cbc-aes-$driver
simply falling back to cbc(aes-generic).  There have been a number of
fixes to this effect:

commit 89027579bc6c ("crypto: xts - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit")
commit d2c2a85cfe82 ("crypto: ctr - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit")
commit e6c2e65c70a6 ("crypto: cbc - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit")

But it seems that other templates can have the same problems too.

To avoid this whack-a-mole, just add NEED_FALLBACK to INHERITED_FLAGS so
that it's always inherited.

<title>crypto: algapi - use common mechanism for inheriting flags</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7bcb2c99f8ed032cfb3f5596b4dccac6b1f501df</id>
<content type='text'>
The flag CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC is "inherited" in the sense that when a
template is instantiated, the template will have CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC set if
any of the algorithms it uses has CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC set.

We'd like to add a second flag (CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY) that gets
"inherited" in the same way.  This is difficult because the handling of
CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC is hardcoded everywhere.  Address this by:

  - Add CRYPTO_ALG_INHERITED_FLAGS, which contains the set of flags that
    have these inheritance semantics.

  - Add crypto_algt_inherited_mask(), for use by template -&gt;create()
    methods.  It returns any of these flags that the user asked to be
    unset and thus must be passed in the 'mask' to crypto_grab_*().

  - Also modify crypto_check_attr_type() to handle computing the 'mask'
    so that most templates can just use this.

  - Make crypto_grab_*() propagate these flags to the template instance
    being created so that templates don't have to do this themselves.

Make crypto/simd.c propagate these flags too, since it "wraps" another
algorithm, similar to a template.

gcc-10 complains about using the name of a standard library
function in the kernel, as we are not building with -ffreestanding:

crypto/xts.c:325:13: error: conflicting types for built-in function 'free'; expected 'void(void *)' [-Werror=builtin-declaration-mismatch]
  325 | static void free(struct skcipher_instance *inst)
      |             ^~~~
crypto/lrw.c:290:13: error: conflicting types for built-in function 'free'; expected 'void(void *)' [-Werror=builtin-declaration-mismatch]

      |             ^~~~
crypto/lrw.c:27:1: note: 'free' is declared in header '&lt;stdlib.h&gt;'

The xts and lrw cipher implementations run into this because they do
not use the conventional namespaced function names.

It might be better to rename all local functions in those files to
help with things like 'ctags' and 'grep', but just renaming these two
avoids the build issue. I picked the more verbose crypto_xts_free()
and crypto_lrw_free() names for consistency with several other drivers
that do use namespaced function names.
