<title>crypto: hash - Remove VLA usage</title>

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
removes the VLAs in SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK (via crypto_shash_descsize())
by using the maximum allowable size (which is now more clearly captured
in a macro), along with a few other cases. Similar limits are turned into
macros as well.

A review of existing sizes shows that SHA512_DIGEST_SIZE (64) is the
largest digest size and that sizeof(struct sha3_state) (360) is the
largest descriptor size. The corresponding maximums are reduced.

<title>crypto: hash - prevent using keyed hashes without setting key</title>

<id>9fa68f620041be04720d0cbfb1bd3ddfc6310b24</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, almost none of the keyed hash algorithms check whether a key
has been set before proceeding.  Some algorithms are okay with this and
will effectively just use a key of all 0's or some other bogus default.
However, others will severely break, as demonstrated using
"hmac(sha3-512-generic)", the unkeyed use of which causes a kernel crash
via a (potentially exploitable) stack buffer overflow.

A while ago, this problem was solved for AF_ALG by pairing each hash
transform with a 'has_key' bool.  However, there are still other places
in the kernel where userspace can specify an arbitrary hash algorithm by
name, and the kernel uses it as unkeyed hash without checking whether it
is really unkeyed.  Examples of this include:

    - KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE, via the KDF extension
    - dm-verity
    - dm-crypt, via the ESSIV support
    - dm-integrity, via the "internal hash" mode with no key given
    - drbd (Distributed Replicated Block Device)

This bug is especially bad for KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE as that requires no
privileges to call.

Fix the bug for all users by adding a flag CRYPTO_TFM_NEED_KEY to the
-&gt;crt_flags of each hash transform that indicates whether the transform
still needs to be keyed or not.  Then, make the hash init, import, and
digest functions return -ENOKEY if the key is still needed.

The new flag also replaces the 'has_key' bool which algif_hash was
previously using, thereby simplifying the algif_hash implementation.

<title>net: Work around lockdep limitation in sockets that use sockets</title>

<id>cdfbabfb2f0ce983fdaa42f20e5f7842178fc01e</id>
<content type='text'>
Lockdep issues a circular dependency warning when AFS issues an operation
through AF_RXRPC from a context in which the VFS/VM holds the mmap_sem.

The theory lockdep comes up with is as follows:

 (1) If the pagefault handler decides it needs to read pages from AFS, it
     calls AFS with mmap_sem held and AFS begins an AF_RXRPC call, but
     creating a call requires the socket lock:

	mmap_sem must be taken before sk_lock-AF_RXRPC

 (2) afs_open_socket() opens an AF_RXRPC socket and binds it.  rxrpc_bind()
     binds the underlying UDP socket whilst holding its socket lock.
     inet_bind() takes its own socket lock:

	sk_lock-AF_RXRPC must be taken before sk_lock-AF_INET

 (3) Reading from a TCP socket into a userspace buffer might cause a fault
     and thus cause the kernel to take the mmap_sem, but the TCP socket is
     locked whilst doing this:

	sk_lock-AF_INET must be taken before mmap_sem

However, lockdep's theory is wrong in this instance because it deals only
with lock classes and not individual locks.  The AF_INET lock in (2) isn't
really equivalent to the AF_INET lock in (3) as the former deals with a
socket entirely internal to the kernel that never sees userspace.  This is
a limitation in the design of lockdep.

Fix the general case by:

 (1) Double up all the locking keys used in sockets so that one set are
     used if the socket is created by userspace and the other set is used
     if the socket is created by the kernel.

 (2) Store the kern parameter passed to sk_alloc() in a variable in the
     sock struct (sk_kern_sock).  This informs sock_lock_init(),
     sock_init_data() and sk_clone_lock() as to the lock keys to be used.

     Note that the child created by sk_clone_lock() inherits the parent's
     kern setting.

 (3) Add a 'kern' parameter to -&gt;accept() that is analogous to the one
     passed in to -&gt;create() that distinguishes whether kernel_accept() or
     sys_accept4() was the caller and can be passed to sk_alloc().

     Note that a lot of accept functions merely dequeue an already
     allocated socket.  I haven't touched these as the new socket already
     exists before we get the parameter.

     Note also that there are a couple of places where I've made the accepted
     socket unconditionally kernel-based:

	irda_accept()
	rds_rcp_accept_one()
	tcp_accept_from_sock()

     because they follow a sock_create_kern() and accept off of that.

Whilst creating this, I noticed that lustre and ocfs don't create sockets
through sock_create_kern() and thus they aren't marked as for-kernel,
though they appear to be internal.  I wonder if these should do that so
that they use the new set of lock keys.

==== 8&lt; ======== 8&lt; ======== 8&lt; ======== 8&lt; ====

one can immediatelly see an UBSAN warning:

It is a correct warning, as hash state is propagated to accept as zero,
but creating a zero-length variable array is not allowed in C.

Fix this as proposed by Herbert -- do "?: 1" on that site. No sizeof or
similar happens in the code there, so we just allocate one byte even
though we do not use the array.

Recently an init call was added to hash_recvmsg so as to reset
the hash state in case a sendmsg call was never made.

Unfortunately this ended up clobbering the result if the previous
sendmsg was done with a MSG_MORE flag.  This patch fixes it by
excluding that case when we make the init call.

Recently algif_hash has been changed to allow null hashes.  This
triggers a bug when used with an shash algorithm whereby it will
cause a crash during the digest operation.

This patch fixes it by avoiding the digest operation and instead
doing an init followed by a final which avoids the buggy code in
shash.

This patch also ensures that the result buffer is freed after an
error so that it is not returned as a genuine hash result on the
next recv call.

The shash/ahash wrapper code will be fixed later to handle this
case correctly.

Right now attempting to read an empty hash simply returns zeroed
bytes, this patch corrects this by calling the digest function
using an empty input.
