Our convention is to distinguish file types by suffixes with a period
as a separator.

*-asn1.[ch] is a different pattern from other generated sources such
as *.lex.c, *.tab.[ch], *.dtb.S, etc.  More confusing, files with
'-asn1.[ch]' are generated files, but '_asn1.[ch]' are checked-in
files:
  net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_h323_asn1.c
  include/linux/netfilter/nf_conntrack_h323_asn1.h
  include/linux/sunrpc/gss_asn1.h

Rename generated files to *.asn1.[ch] for consistency.

TPM security routines require encryption and decryption with AES in
CFB mode, so add it to the Linux Crypto schemes.  CFB is basically a
one time pad where the pad is generated initially from the encrypted
IV and then subsequently from the encrypted previous block of
ciphertext.  The pad is XOR'd into the plain text to get the final
ciphertext.

<title>crypto: speck - add support for the Speck block cipher</title>

<content type='text'>
Add a generic implementation of Speck, including the Speck128 and
Speck64 variants.  Speck is a lightweight block cipher that can be much
faster than AES on processors that don't have AES instructions.

We are planning to offer Speck-XTS (probably Speck128/256-XTS) as an
option for dm-crypt and fscrypt on Android, for low-end mobile devices
with older CPUs such as ARMv7 which don't have the Cryptography
Extensions.  Currently, such devices are unencrypted because AES is not
fast enough, even when the NEON bit-sliced implementation of AES is
used.  Other AES alternatives such as Twofish, Threefish, Camellia,
CAST6, and Serpent aren't fast enough either; it seems that only a
modern ARX cipher can provide sufficient performance on these devices.

This is a replacement for our original proposal
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10101451/) which was to offer
ChaCha20 for these devices.  However, the use of a stream cipher for
disk/file encryption with no space to store nonces would have been much
more insecure than we thought initially, given that it would be used on
top of flash storage as well as potentially on top of F2FS, neither of
which is guaranteed to overwrite data in-place.

Speck has been somewhat controversial due to its origin.  Nevertheless,
it has a straightforward design (it's an ARX cipher), and it appears to
be the leading software-optimized lightweight block cipher currently,
with the most cryptanalysis.  It's also easy to implement without side
channels, unlike AES.  Moreover, we only intend Speck to be used when
the status quo is no encryption, due to AES not being fast enough.

We've also considered a novel length-preserving encryption mode based on
ChaCha20 and Poly1305.  While theoretically attractive, such a mode
would be a brand new crypto construction and would be more complicated
and difficult to implement efficiently in comparison to Speck-XTS.

There is confusion about the byte and word orders of Speck, since the
original paper doesn't specify them.  But we have implemented it using
the orders the authors recommended in a correspondence with them.  The
test vectors are taken from the original paper but were mapped to byte
arrays using the recommended byte and word orders.

<title>crypto: aes-generic - fix aes-generic regression on powerpc</title>

<id>6e36719fbe90213fbba9f50093fa2d4d69b0e93c</id>
<content type='text'>
My last bugfix added -Os on the command line, which unfortunately caused
a build regression on powerpc in some configurations.

I've done some more analysis of the original problem and found slightly
different workaround that avoids this regression and also results in
better performance on gcc-7.0: -fcode-hoisting is an optimization step
that got added in gcc-7 and that for all gcc-7 versions causes worse
performance.

This disables -fcode-hoisting on all compilers that understand the option.
For gcc-7.1 and 7.2 I found the same performance as my previous patch
(using -Os), in gcc-7.0 it was even better. On gcc-8 I could see no
change in performance from this patch. In theory, code hoisting should
not be able make things better for the AES cipher, so leaving it
disabled for gcc-8 only serves to simplify the Makefile change.

<id>148b974deea927f5dbb6c468af2707b488bfa2de</id>
<content type='text'>
While testing other changes, I discovered that gcc-7.2.1 produces badly
optimized code for aes_encrypt/aes_decrypt. This is especially true when
CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL is enabled, where it leads to extremely
large stack usage that in turn might cause kernel stack overflows:

crypto/aes_generic.c: In function 'aes_encrypt':
crypto/aes_generic.c:1371:1: warning: the frame size of 4880 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
crypto/aes_generic.c: In function 'aes_decrypt':
crypto/aes_generic.c:1441:1: warning: the frame size of 4864 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

I verified that this problem exists on all architectures that are
supported by gcc-7.2, though arm64 in particular is less affected than
the others. I also found that gcc-7.1 and gcc-8 do not show the extreme
stack usage but still produce worse code than earlier versions for this
file, apparently because of optimization passes that generally provide
a substantial improvement in object code quality but understandably fail
to find any shortcuts in the AES algorithm.

Possible workarounds include

a) disabling -ftree-pre and -ftree-sra optimizations, this was an earlier
   patch I tried, which reliably fixed the stack usage, but caused a
   serious performance regression in some versions, as later testing
   found.

b) disabling UBSAN on this file or all ciphers, as suggested by Ard
   Biesheuvel. This would lead to massively better crypto performance in
   UBSAN-enabled kernels and avoid the stack usage, but there is a concern
   over whether we should exclude arbitrary files from UBSAN at all.

c) Forcing the optimization level in a different way. Similar to a),
   but rather than deselecting specific optimization stages,
   this now uses "gcc -Os" for this file, regardless of the
   CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE/SIZE option. This is a reliable
   workaround for the stack consumption on all architecture, and I've
   retested the performance results now on x86, cycles/byte (lower is
   better) for cbc(aes-generic) with 256 bit keys:

			-O2     -Os
	gcc-6.3.1	14.9	15.1
	gcc-7.0.1	14.7	15.3
	gcc-7.1.1	15.3	14.7
	gcc-7.2.1	16.8	15.9
	gcc-8.0.0	15.5	15.6

This implements the option c) by enabling forcing -Os on all compiler
versions starting with gcc-7.1. As a workaround for PR83356, it would
only be needed for gcc-7.2+ with UBSAN enabled, but since it also shows
better performance on gcc-7.1 without UBSAN, it seems appropriate to
use the faster version here as well.

Side note: during testing, I also played with the AES code in libressl,
which had a similar performance regression from gcc-6 to gcc-7.2,
but was three times slower overall. It might be interesting to
investigate that further and possibly port the Linux implementation
into that.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
