Instead of manually allocating a 'struct shash_desc' on the stack and
calling crypto_shash_digest(), switch to using the new helper function
crypto_shash_tfm_digest() which does this for us.

<title>crypto: ccp - Add support for SEV-ES to the PSP driver</title>

To provide support for SEV-ES, the hypervisor must provide an area of
memory to the PSP. Once this Trusted Memory Region (TMR) is provided to
the PSP, the contents of this area of memory are no longer available to
the x86.

Update the PSP driver to allocate a 1MB region for the TMR that is 1MB
aligned and then provide it to the PSP through the SEV INIT command.

<title>crypto: ccp -- don't "select" CONFIG_DMADEVICES</title>

DMADEVICES is the top-level option for the slave DMA
subsystem, and should not be selected by device drivers,
as this can cause circular dependencies such as:

drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/Kconfig:6:error: recursive dependency detected!
drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/Kconfig:6:	symbol NET_VENDOR_FREESCALE depends on PPC_BESTCOMM
drivers/dma/bestcomm/Kconfig:6:	symbol PPC_BESTCOMM depends on DMADEVICES
drivers/dma/Kconfig:6:	symbol DMADEVICES is selected by CRYPTO_DEV_SP_CCP
drivers/crypto/ccp/Kconfig:10:	symbol CRYPTO_DEV_SP_CCP depends on CRYPTO
crypto/Kconfig:16:	symbol CRYPTO is selected by LIBCRC32C
lib/Kconfig:222:	symbol LIBCRC32C is selected by LIQUIDIO
drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/Kconfig:65:	symbol LIQUIDIO depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK
drivers/ptp/Kconfig:8:	symbol PTP_1588_CLOCK is implied by FEC
drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/Kconfig:23:	symbol FEC depends on NET_VENDOR_FREESCALE

The LIQUIDIO driver causing this problem is addressed in a
separate patch, but this change is needed to prevent it from
happening again.

Using "depends on DMADEVICES" is what we do for all other
implementations of slave DMA controllers as well.

<title>crypto: ccp - use file mode for sev ioctl permissions</title>

<id>b61028135843d5418f0469d11e2769ca77159463</id>
<content type='text'>
Instead of using CAP_SYS_ADMIN which is restricted to the root user,
check the file mode for write permissions before executing commands that
can affect the platform. This allows for more fine-grained access
control to the SEV ioctl interface. This would allow a SEV-only user
or group the ability to administer the platform without requiring them
to be root or granting them overly powerful permissions.

For example:

chown root:root /dev/sev
chmod 600 /dev/sev
setfacl -m g:sev:r /dev/sev
setfacl -m g:sev-admin:rw /dev/sev

In this instance, members of the "sev-admin" group have the ability to
perform all ioctl calls (including the ones that modify platform state).
Members of the "sev" group only have access to the ioctls that do not
modify the platform state.

This also makes opening "/dev/sev" more consistent with how file
descriptors are usually handled. By only checking for CAP_SYS_ADMIN,
the file descriptor could be opened read-only but could still execute
ioctls that modify the platform state. This patch enforces that the file
descriptor is opened with write privileges if it is going to be used to
modify the platform state.

This flexibility is completely opt-in, and if it is not desirable by
the administrator then they do not need to give anyone else access to
/dev/sev.

Explicitly free and clear misc_dev in sev_exit(). Since devm_kzalloc()
associates misc_dev with the first device that gets probed, change from
devm_kzalloc() to kzalloc() and explicitly free memory in sev_exit() as
the first device probed is not guaranteed to be the last device released.
To ensure that the variable gets properly set to NULL, remove the local
definition of misc_dev.

The CRYPTO_TFM_RES_BAD_KEY_LEN flag was apparently meant as a way to
make the -&gt;setkey() functions provide more information about errors.

However, no one actually checks for this flag, which makes it pointless.

Also, many algorithms fail to set this flag when given a bad length key.
Reviewing just the generic implementations, this is the case for
aes-fixed-time, cbcmac, echainiv, nhpoly1305, pcrypt, rfc3686, rfc4309,
rfc7539, rfc7539esp, salsa20, seqiv, and xcbc.  But there are probably
many more in arch/*/crypto/ and drivers/crypto/.

Some algorithms can even set this flag when the key is the correct
length.  For example, authenc and authencesn set it when the key payload
is malformed in any way (not just a bad length), the atmel-sha and ccree
drivers can set it if a memory allocation fails, and the chelsio driver
sets it for bad auth tag lengths, not just bad key lengths.

So even if someone actually wanted to start checking this flag (which
seems unlikely, since it's been unused for a long time), there would be
a lot of work needed to get it working correctly.  But it would probably
be much better to go back to the drawing board and just define different
return values, like -EINVAL if the key is invalid for the algorithm vs.
-EKEYREJECTED if the key was rejected by a policy like "no weak keys".
That would be much simpler, less error-prone, and easier to test.

So just remove this flag.
