[ Upstream commit 647d41d3952d726d4ae49e853a9eff68ebad3b3f ]

vmx-crypto module depends on CRYPTO_AES, CRYPTO_CBC, CRYPTO_CTR or
CRYPTO_XTS, thus add them.

These dependencies are likely to be enabled, but if
CRYPTO_DEV_VMX=y &amp;&amp; !CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS
and either of CRYPTO_AES, CRYPTO_CBC, CRYPTO_CTR or CRYPTO_XTS is built
as module or disabled, alg_test() from crypto/testmgr.c complains during
boot about failing to allocate the generic fallback implementations
(2 == ENOENT):

[    0.540953] Failed to allocate xts(aes) fallback: -2
[    0.541014] alg: skcipher: failed to allocate transform for p8_aes_xts: -2

<title>crypto: vmx - fix incorrect kernel-doc comment syntax in files</title>

<content type='text'>
The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of
kernel-doc comments.
There are certain files in drivers/crypto/vmx, which follow this syntax,
but the content inside does not comply with kernel-doc.
Such lines were probably not meant for kernel-doc parsing, but are parsed
due to the presence of kernel-doc like comment syntax(i.e, '/**'), which
causes unexpected warnings from kernel-doc.

E.g., presence of kernel-doc like comment in the header line for
drivers/crypto/vmx/vmx.c causes this warning by kernel-doc:

"warning: expecting prototype for Routines supporting VMX instructions on the Power 8(). Prototype was for p8_init() instead"

Similarly for other files too.

Provide a simple fix by replacing such occurrences with general comment
format, i.e. '/*', to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it.

The cipher routines in the crypto API are mostly intended for templates
implementing skcipher modes generically in software, and shouldn't be
used outside of the crypto subsystem. So move the prototypes and all
related definitions to a new header file under include/crypto/internal.
Also, let's use the new module namespace feature to move the symbol
exports into a new namespace CRYPTO_INTERNAL.

<title>powerpc: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones</title>

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
            If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
            return 200 OK and serve the same content:
              Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

<id>1372a51b88fa0d5a8ed2803e4975c98da3f08463</id>
<content type='text'>
When the kernel XTS implementation was extended to deal with ciphertext
stealing in commit 8083b1bf8163 ("crypto: xts - add support for ciphertext
stealing"), a check was added to reject inputs that were too short.

However, in the vmx enablement - commit 239668419349 ("crypto: vmx/xts -
use fallback for ciphertext stealing"), that check wasn't added to the
vmx implementation. This disparity leads to errors like the following:

alg: skcipher: p8_aes_xts encryption unexpectedly succeeded on test vector "random: len=0 klen=64"; expected_error=-22, cfg="random: inplace may_sleep use_finup src_divs=[&lt;flush&gt;66.99%@+10, 33.1%@alignmask+1155]"

Return -EINVAL if asked to operate with a cryptlen smaller than the AES
block size. This brings vmx in line with the generic implementation.

<title>crypto: vmx - Avoid weird build failures</title>

<id>4ee812f6143d78d8ba1399671d78c8d78bf2817c</id>
<content type='text'>
In the vmx crypto Makefile we assign to a variable called TARGET and
pass that to the aesp8-ppc.pl and ghashp8-ppc.pl scripts.

The variable is meant to describe what flavour of powerpc we're
building for, eg. either 32 or 64-bit, and big or little endian.

Unfortunately TARGET is a fairly common name for a make variable, and
if it happens that TARGET is specified as a command line parameter to
make, the value specified on the command line will override our value.

In particular this can happen if the kernel Makefile is driven by an
external Makefile that uses TARGET for something.

This leads to weird build failures, eg:
  nonsense  at /build/linux/drivers/crypto/vmx/ghashp8-ppc.pl line 45.
  /linux/drivers/crypto/vmx/Makefile:20: recipe for target 'drivers/crypto/vmx/ghashp8-ppc.S' failed

Which shows that we passed an empty value for $(TARGET) to the perl
script, confirmed with make V=1:

  perl /linux/drivers/crypto/vmx/ghashp8-ppc.pl  &gt; drivers/crypto/vmx/ghashp8-ppc.S

We can avoid this confusion by using override, to tell make that we
don't want anything to override our variable, even a value specified
on the command line. We can also use a less common name, given the
script calls it "flavour", let's use that.

pass that to the aesp8-ppc.pl and ghashp8-ppc.pl scripts.

The variable is meant to describe what flavour of powerpc we're
building for, eg. either 32 or 64-bit, and big or little endian.

Unfortunately TARGET is a fairly common name for a make variable, and
if it happens that TARGET is specified as a command line parameter to
make, the value specified on the command line will override our value.

In particular this can happen if the kernel Makefile is driven by an
external Makefile that uses TARGET for something.

This leads to weird build failures, eg:
  nonsense  at /build/linux/drivers/crypto/vmx/ghashp8-ppc.pl line 45.
  /linux/drivers/crypto/vmx/Makefile:20: recipe for target 'drivers/crypto/vmx/ghashp8-ppc.S' failed

Which shows that we passed an empty value for $(TARGET) to the perl
script, confirmed with make V=1:

  perl /linux/drivers/crypto/vmx/ghashp8-ppc.pl  &gt; drivers/crypto/vmx/ghashp8-ppc.S

We can avoid this confusion by using override, to tell make that we
don't want anything to override our variable, even a value specified
on the command line. We can also use a less common name, given the
script calls it "flavour", let's use that.

For correctness and compliance with the XTS-AES specification, we are
adding support for ciphertext stealing to XTS implementations, even
though no use cases are known that will be enabled by this.

Since the Power8 implementation already has a fallback skcipher standby
for other purposes, let's use it for this purpose as well. If ciphertext
stealing use cases ever become a bottleneck, we can always revisit this.
