commit 7e28b0a5c4b7d075b98ce6d8f5290a9d3deb5b92 upstream.

Remove algorithms that are either unsafe or deprecated and have no
in-kernel users that cannot be served by the ARM CE implementations.

AES-ECB reveals plaintext patterns (identical plaintext blocks produce
identical ciphertext blocks) and should not be exposed as a hardware-
accelerated primitive. DES, Triple DES and HMAC-SHA1 have been
deprecated for years.

Remove sha1, ecb(aes), ecb(des), cbc(des), ecb(des3_ede), cbc(des3_ede),
hmac(sha1) and all AEAD variants built on these primitives as well as
authenc(hmac(sha256),cbc(des)). Also clean up the - now dead - code,
flags and constants.

<title>crypto: qce - fix CCM AAD buffer underallocation</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 7f2345f47dd189625f657cd72437179ab4170ee1 upstream.

The AAD buffer allocated in qce_aead_ccm_prepare_buf_assoclen()
can be smaller than the length later programmed into the DMA
scatterlist.

The allocation size is currently calculated as:

  ALIGN(assoclen, 16) + MAX_CCM_ADATA_HEADER_LEN

while the DMA length is set to:

  ALIGN(assoclen + adata_header_len, 16)

Since ALIGN() does not distribute over addition, the allocation
can be smaller than the DMA length. For example, when
assoclen = 32 and adata_header_len = 2:

  allocation = ALIGN(32, 16) + 6 = 38
  DMA length = ALIGN(32 + 2, 16) = 48

As a result, the QCE hardware can read beyond the allocated
buffer while computing the CBC-MAC over the associated data.
The extra bytes are folded into the authentication tag,
resulting in an incorrect tag and causing CCM self-test
failures such as:

  alg: aead: ccm-aes-qce encryption test failed (wrong result)
  on test vector 8

Fix the allocation by adding the maximum possible AAD header
length before alignment:

  ALIGN(assoclen + MAX_CCM_ADATA_HEADER_LEN, 16)

This guarantees that the allocated buffer is large enough
for the fully padded AAD data for all supported header sizes.

commit 9c75402286409f5e1a75e4a445555c84066f89db upstream.

If ops-&gt;register_algs() fails, the error path repeatedly calls the same
ops-&gt;unregister_algs() from the failed registration. Use the loop index
to unregister the previously registered algorithms instead.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".
