The crypto API requires cryptomgr to be present for probing to work
so we need a softdep to ensure that cryptomgr is added to the
initramfs.
This was usually not a problem because until very recently it was
not practical to build crypto API as module but with the recent
work to eliminate direct AES users this is now possible.

Now that all "blkcipher" algorithms have been converted to "skcipher",
remove the blkcipher algorithm type.
The skcipher (symmetric key cipher) algorithm type was introduced a few
years ago to replace both blkcipher and ablkcipher (synchronous and
asynchronous block cipher). The advantages of skcipher include:
- A much less confusing name, since none of these algorithm types have
ever actually been for raw block ciphers, but rather for all
length-preserving encryption modes including block cipher modes of
operation, stream ciphers, and other length-preserving modes.
- It unified blkcipher and ablkcipher into a single algorithm type
which supports both synchronous and asynchronous implementations.
Note, blkcipher already operated only on scatterlists, so the fact
that skcipher does too isn't a regression in functionality.
- Better type safety by using struct skcipher_alg, struct
crypto_skcipher, etc. instead of crypto_alg, crypto_tfm, etc.
- It sometimes simplifies the implementations of algorithms.
Also, the blkcipher API was no longer being tested.

When EVM attempts to appraise a file signed with a crypto algorithm the
kernel doesn't have support for, it will cause the kernel to trigger a
module load. If the EVM policy includes appraisal of kernel modules this
will in turn call back into EVM - since EVM is holding a lock until the
crypto initialisation is complete, this triggers a deadlock. Add a
CRYPTO_NOLOAD flag and skip module loading if it's set, and add that flag
in the EVM case in order to fail gracefully with an error message
instead of deadlocking.

Commit eb02c38f0197 ("crypto: api - Keep failed instances alive") is
making allocating crypto transforms sometimes fail with ELIBBAD, when
multiple processes try to access encrypted files with fscrypt for the
first time since boot. The problem is that the "request larval" for the
algorithm is being mistaken for an algorithm which failed its tests.
Fix it by only returning ELIBBAD for "non-larval" algorithms. Also
don't leak a reference to the algorithm.

This patch reverts commit 9c521a200bc3 ("crypto: api - remove
instance when test failed") and fixes the underlying problem
in a different way.
To recap, prior to the reverted commit, an instance that fails
a self-test is kept around. However, it would satisfy any new
lookups against its name and therefore the system may accumlulate
an unbounded number of failed instances for the same algorithm
name.
The reverted commit fixed it by unregistering the instance. Hoever,
this still does not prevent the creation of the same failed instance
over and over again each time the name is looked up.
This patch fixes it by keeping the failed instance around, just as
we would if it were a normal algorithm. However, the lookup code
has been udpated so that we do not attempt to create another
instance as long as this failed one is still registered. Of course,
you could still force a new creation by deleting the instance from
user-space.
A new error (ELIBBAD) has been commandeered for this purpose and
will be returned when all registered algorithm of a given name
have failed the self-test.

Currently a number of Crypto API operations may fail when a signal
occurs. This causes nasty problems as the caller of those operations
are often not in a good position to restart the operation.
In fact there is currently no need for those operations to be
interrupted by user signals at all. All we need is for them to
be killable.
This patch replaces the relevant calls of signal_pending with
fatal_signal_pending, and wait_for_completion_interruptible with
wait_for_completion_killable, respectively.

Several hardware related cipher implementations are implemented as
follows: a "helper" cipher implementation is registered with the
kernel crypto API.
Such helper ciphers are never intended to be called by normal users. In
some cases, calling them via the normal crypto API may even cause
failures including kernel crashes. In a normal case, the "wrapping"
ciphers that use the helpers ensure that these helpers are invoked
such that they cannot cause any calamity.
Considering the AF_ALG user space interface, unprivileged users can
call all ciphers registered with the crypto API, including these
helper ciphers that are not intended to be called directly. That
means, with AF_ALG user space may invoke these helper ciphers
and may cause undefined states or side effects.
To avoid any potential side effects with such helpers, the patch
prevents the helpers to be called directly. A new cipher type
flag is added: CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL. This flag shall be used
to mark helper ciphers. These ciphers can only be used if the
caller invoke the cipher with CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL in the type and
mask field.

crypto_larval_lookup should only return a larval if it created one.
Any larval created by another entity must be processed through
crypto_larval_wait before being returned.
Otherwise this will lead to a larval being killed twice, which
will most likely lead to a crash.

The use of wait_for_completion_interruptible is intentional so that
we don't lock up the thread if a bug causes us to never wake up.
This bug is caused by the helper thread using the larval without
holding a reference count on it. If the helper thread completes
after the original thread requesting for help has gone away and
destroyed the larval, then we get the crash above.
So the fix is to hold a reference count on the larval.

With the mandatory algorithm testing at registration, we have
now created a deadlock with algorithms requiring fallbacks.
This can happen if the module containing the algorithm requiring
fallback is loaded first, without the fallback module being loaded
first. The system will then try to test the new algorithm, find
that it needs to load a fallback, and then try to load that.
As both algorithms share the same module alias, it can attempt
to load the original algorithm again and block indefinitely.
As algorithms requiring fallbacks are a special case, we can fix
this by giving them a different module alias than the rest. Then
it's just a matter of using the right aliases according to what
algorithms we're trying to find.

This is based on a report and patch by Geert Uytterhoeven.
The functions crypto_alloc_tfm and create_create_tfm return a
pointer that needs to be adjusted by the caller when successful
and otherwise an error value. This means that the caller has
to check for the error and only perform the adjustment if the
pointer returned is valid.
Since all callers want to make the adjustment and we know how
to adjust it ourselves, it's much easier to just return adjusted
pointer directly.
The only caveat is that we have to return a void * instead of
struct crypto_tfm *. However, this isn't that bad because both
of these functions are for internal use only (by types code like
shash.c, not even algorithms code).
This patch also moves crypto_alloc_tfm into crypto/internal.h
(crypto_create_tfm is already there) to reflect this.

This patch reintroduces a completely revamped crypto_alloc_tfm.
The biggest change is that we now take two crypto_type objects
when allocating a tfm, a frontend and a backend. In fact this
simply formalises what we've been doing behind the API's back.
For example, as it stands crypto_alloc_ahash may use an
actual ahash algorithm or a crypto_hash algorithm. Putting
this in the API allows us to do this much more cleanly.
The existing types will be converted across gradually.

The type exit function needs to undo any allocations done by the type
init function. However, the type init function may differ depending
on the upper-level type of the transform (e.g., a crypto_blkcipher
instantiated as a crypto_ablkcipher).
So we need to move the exit function out of the lower-level
structure and into crypto_tfm itself.
As it stands this is a no-op since nobody uses exit functions at
all. However, all cases where a lower-level type is instantiated
as a different upper-level type (such as blkcipher as ablkcipher)
will be converted such that they allocate the underlying transform
and use that instead of casting (e.g., crypto_ablkcipher casted
into crypto_blkcipher). That will need to use a different exit
function depending on the upper-level type.
This patch also allows the type init/exit functions to call (or not)
cra_init/cra_exit instead of always calling them from the top level.

This patch makes crypto_alloc_ablkcipher/crypto_grab_skcipher always
return algorithms that are capable of generating their own IVs through
givencrypt and givdecrypt. Each algorithm may specify its default IV
generator through the geniv field.
For algorithms that do not set the geniv field, the blkcipher layer will
pick a default. Currently it's chainiv for synchronous algorithms and
eseqiv for asynchronous algorithms. Note that if these wrappers do not
work on an algorithm then that algorithm must specify its own geniv or
it can't be used at all.

is supposed to return error code as pointer. So this patch
makes it return -ENOMEM in that case.
- crypto_alloc_base() is suppose to return -EINTR, if it is
interrupted by signal. But it may not return -EINTR.

This patch adds the crypto_comp type to complete the compile-time checking
conversion. The functions crypto_has_alg and crypto_has_cipher, etc. are
also added to replace crypto_alg_available.

This patch adds the crypto_type structure which will be used for all new
crypto algorithm types, beginning with block ciphers.
The primary purpose of this abstraction is to allow different crypto_type
objects for crypto algorithms of the same type, in particular, there will
be a different crypto_type objects for asynchronous algorithms.

Up until now all crypto transforms have been of the same type, struct
crypto_tfm, regardless of whether they are ciphers, digests, or other
types. As a result of that, we check the types at run-time before
each crypto operation.
This is rather cumbersome. We could instead use different C types for
each crypto type to ensure that the correct types are used at compile
time. That is, we would have crypto_cipher/crypto_digest instead of
just crypto_tfm. The appropriate type would then be required for the
actual operations such as crypto_digest_digest.
Now that we have the type/mask fields when looking up algorithms, it
is easy to request for an algorithm of the precise type that the user
wants. However, crypto_alloc_tfm currently does not expose these new
attributes.
This patch introduces the function crypto_alloc_base which will carry
these new parameters. It will be renamed to crypto_alloc_tfm once
all existing users have been converted.

This patch adds the asynchronous flag and changes all existing users to
only look up algorithms that are synchronous.
