Some algorithms have a -&gt;setkey() method that is not atomic, in the
sense that setting a key can fail after changes were already made to the
tfm context.  In this case, if a key was already set the tfm can end up
in a state that corresponds to neither the old key nor the new key.

For example, in gcm.c, if the kzalloc() fails due to lack of memory,
then the CTR part of GCM will have the new key but GHASH will not.

It's not feasible to make all -&gt;setkey() methods atomic, especially ones
that have to key multiple sub-tfms.  Therefore, make the crypto API set
CRYPTO_TFM_NEED_KEY if -&gt;setkey() fails, to prevent the tfm from being
used until a new key is set.

[Cc stable mainly because when introducing the NEED_KEY flag I changed
 AF_ALG to rely on it; and unlike in-kernel crypto API users, AF_ALG
 previously didn't have this problem.  So these "incompletely keyed"
 states became theoretically accessible via AF_ALG -- though, the
 opportunities for causing real mischief seem pretty limited.]

<title>crypto: user - clean up report structure copying</title>

<id>37db69e0b4923bff331820ee6969681937d8b065</id>
<content type='text'>
There have been a pretty ridiculous number of issues with initializing
the report structures that are copied to userspace by NETLINK_CRYPTO.
Commit 4473710df1f8 ("crypto: user - Prepare for CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME
expansion") replaced some strncpy()s with strlcpy()s, thereby
introducing information leaks.  Later two other people tried to replace
other strncpy()s with strlcpy() too, which would have introduced even
more information leaks:

    - https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/954991/
    - https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10434351/

Commit cac5818c25d0 ("crypto: user - Implement a generic crypto
statistics") also uses the buggy strlcpy() approach and therefore leaks
uninitialized memory to userspace.  A fix was proposed, but it was
originally incomplete.

Seeing as how apparently no one can get this right with the current
approach, change all the reporting functions to:

- Start by memsetting the report structure to 0.  This guarantees it's
  always initialized, regardless of what happens later.
- Initialize all strings using strscpy().  This is safe after the
  memset, ensures null termination of long strings, avoids unnecessary
  work, and avoids the -Wstringop-truncation warnings from gcc.
- Use sizeof(var) instead of sizeof(type).  This is more robust against
  copy+paste errors.

For simplicity, also reuse the -EMSGSIZE return value from nla_put().

Similar to what was done for the hash API, update the AEAD API to track
whether each transform has been keyed, and reject encryption/decryption
if a key is needed but one hasn't been set.

This isn't quite as important as the equivalent fix for the hash API
because AEADs always require a key, so are unlikely to be used without
one.  Still, tracking the key will prevent accidental unkeyed use.
algif_aead also had to track the key anyway, so the new flag replaces
that and slightly simplifies the algif_aead implementation.

Since commit 499a66e6b689 ("crypto: null - Remove default null
blkcipher"), crypto_get_default_null_skcipher2() and
crypto_put_default_null_skcipher2() are the same as their non-2
equivalents.  So switch callers of the "2" versions over to the original
versions and remove the "2" versions.

<title>crypto: Replaced gcc specific attributes with macros from compiler.h</title>

<content type='text'>
Continuing from this commit: 52f5684c8e1e
("kernel: use macros from compiler.h instead of __attribute__((...))")

I submitted 4 total patches. They are part of task I've taken up to
increase compiler portability in the kernel. I've cleaned up the
subsystems under /kernel /mm /block and /security, this patch targets
/crypto.

There is &lt;linux/compiler.h&gt; which provides macros for various gcc specific
constructs. Eg: __weak for __attribute__((weak)). I've cleaned all
instances of gcc specific attributes with the right macros for the crypto
subsystem.

I had to make one additional change into compiler-gcc.h for the case when
one wants to use this: __attribute__((aligned) and not specify an alignment
factor. From the gcc docs, this will result in the largest alignment for
that data type on the target machine so I've named the macro
__aligned_largest. Please advise if another name is more appropriate.

This patch adds a chunk size parameter to aead algorithms, just
like the chunk size for skcipher algorithms.

However, unlike skcipher we do not currently export this to AEAD
users.  It is only meant to be used by AEAD implementors for now.
