2022-06-25	crypto: chacha20 - Fix chacha20_block() keystream alignment (again)	Eric Biggers	1	-3/+3
	[ Upstream commit a5e9f557098e54af44ade5d501379be18435bfbf ] In commit 9f480faec58c ("crypto: chacha20 - Fix keystream alignment for chacha20_block()"), I had missed that chacha20_block() can be called directly on the buffer passed to get_random_bytes(), which can have any alignment. So, while my commit didn't break anything, it didn't fully solve the alignment problems. Revert my solution and just update chacha20_block() to use put_unaligned_le32(), so the output buffer need not be aligned. This is simpler, and on many CPUs it's the same speed. But, I kept the 'tmp' buffers in extract_crng_user() and _get_random_bytes() 4-byte aligned, since that alignment is actually needed for _crng_backtrack_protect() too.

2022-06-25	crypto: chacha20 - Fix keystream alignment for chacha20_block()	Eric Biggers	1	-1/+1
	commit 9f480faec58cd6197a007ea1dcac6b7c3daf1139 upstream. When chacha20_block() outputs the keystream block, it uses 'u32' stores directly. However, the callers (crypto/chacha20_generic.c and drivers/char/random.c) declare the keystream buffer as a 'u8' array, which is not guaranteed to have the needed alignment. Fix it by having both callers declare the keystream as a 'u32' array. For now this is preferable to switching over to the unaligned access macros because chacha20_block() is only being used in cases where we can easily control the alignment (stack buffers).

	The CRNG is faster, and we don't pretend to track entropy usage in the CRNG any more. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
