commit 45cb6653b0c355fc1445a8069ba78a4ce8720511 upstream.

Return -EINVAL for authenc(hmac(sha1),cbc(aes)),
authenc(hmac(sha256),cbc(aes)) and authenc(hmac(sha512),cbc(aes))
if the cipher length is not multiple of the AES block.
This is to prevent an undefined device behaviour.

<title>crypto: bcm - Verify GCM/CCM key length in setkey</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 10a2f0b311094ffd45463a529a410a51ca025f27 upstream.

The setkey function for GCM/CCM algorithms didn't verify the key
length before copying the key and subtracting the salt length.

This patch delays the copying of the key til after the verification
has been done.  It also adds checks on the key length to ensure
that it's at least as long as the salt.

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

The mailbox CSR register has a write latency and requires a delay before
being read. This patch replaces readl_poll_timeout with read_poll_timeout
that allows to sleep before read.
The initial sleep was removed when the mailbox poll loop was replaced with
readl_poll_timeout.

<title>mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()</title>

<id>453431a54934d917153c65211b2dabf45562ca88</id>

As said by Linus:

  A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
  Otherwise it's actively misleading.

  In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
  caller wants.

  In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
  future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
  something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.

The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.

Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.

The renaming is done by using the command sequence:

  git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
  xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'

followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fs/crypto/inline_crypt.c needs linux/slab.h]
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix fs/crypto/inline_crypt.c some more]

As said by Linus:

  A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
  Otherwise it's actively misleading.

  In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
  caller wants.

  In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
  future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
  something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.

The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.

Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.

The renaming is done by using the command sequence:

  git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
  xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'

followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fs/crypto/inline_crypt.c needs linux/slab.h]
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix fs/crypto/inline_crypt.c some more]

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks &amp; rwlocks.

 - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
   Power9 or later.

 - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
   unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
   to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
   userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.

 - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
   checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
   architectures.

 - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
   code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
   systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.

 - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.

 - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
   stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.

 - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
   usual.
