The flag CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC is "inherited" in the sense that when a
template is instantiated, the template will have CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC set if
any of the algorithms it uses has CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC set.

We'd like to add a second flag (CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY) that gets
"inherited" in the same way.  This is difficult because the handling of
CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC is hardcoded everywhere.  Address this by:

  - Add CRYPTO_ALG_INHERITED_FLAGS, which contains the set of flags that
    have these inheritance semantics.

  - Add crypto_algt_inherited_mask(), for use by template -&gt;create()
    methods.  It returns any of these flags that the user asked to be
    unset and thus must be passed in the 'mask' to crypto_grab_*().

  - Also modify crypto_check_attr_type() to handle computing the 'mask'
    so that most templates can just use this.

  - Make crypto_grab_*() propagate these flags to the template instance
    being created so that templates don't have to do this themselves.

Make crypto/simd.c propagate these flags too, since it "wraps" another
algorithm, similar to a template.

Based on a patch by Mikulas Patocka &lt;mpatocka@redhat.com&gt;
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/alpine.LRH.2.02.2006301414580.30526@file01.intranet.prod.int.rdu2.redhat.com).

<title>crypto: shash - convert shash_free_instance() to new style</title>

Convert shash_free_instance() and its users to the new way of freeing
instances, where a -&gt;free() method is installed to the instance struct
itself.  This replaces the weakly-typed method crypto_template::free().

This will allow removing support for the old way of freeing instances.

Also give shash_free_instance() a more descriptive name to reflect that
it's only for instances with a single spawn, not for any instance.

<title>crypto: hmac - use crypto_grab_shash() and simplify error paths</title>

Make the hmac template use the new function crypto_grab_shash() to
initialize its shash spawn.

This is needed to make all spawns be initialized in a consistent way.

This required making hmac_create() allocate the instance directly rather
than use shash_alloc_instance().

Also simplify the error handling by taking advantage of crypto_drop_*()
now accepting (as a no-op) spawns that haven't been initialized yet, and
by taking advantage of crypto_grab_*() now handling ERR_PTR() names.

<content type='text'>
This patch switches hmac over to the new init_tfm/exit_tfm interface
as opposed to cra_init/cra_exit.  This way the shash API can make
sure that descsize does not exceed the maximum.

This patch also adds the API helper shash_alg_instance.

<title>crypto: shash - allow essiv and hmac to use OPTIONAL_KEY algorithms</title>

<id>c28817895464797a8299b24e35ead1085b3e40fb</id>
<content type='text'>
The essiv and hmac templates refuse to use any hash algorithm that has a
-&gt;setkey() function, which includes not just algorithms that always need
a key, but also algorithms that optionally take a key.

Previously the only optionally-keyed hash algorithms in the crypto API
were non-cryptographic algorithms like crc32, so this didn't really
matter.  But that's changed with BLAKE2 support being added.  BLAKE2
should work with essiv and hmac, just like any other cryptographic hash.

Fix this by allowing the use of both algorithms without a -&gt;setkey()
function and algorithms that have the OPTIONAL_KEY flag set.

When I added the sanity check of 'descsize', I missed that the child
hash tfm needs to be freed if the sanity check fails.  Of course this
should never happen, hence the use of WARN_ON(), but it should be fixed.

<content type='text'>
The "hmac(sha3-224-generic)" algorithm has a descsize of 368 bytes,
which is greater than HASH_MAX_DESCSIZE (360) which is only enough for
sha3-224-generic.  The check in shash_prepare_alg() doesn't catch this
because the HMAC template doesn't set descsize on the algorithms, but
rather sets it on each individual HMAC transform.

This causes a stack buffer overflow when SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK() is used
with hmac(sha3-224-generic).

Fix it by increasing HASH_MAX_DESCSIZE to the real maximum.  Also add a
sanity check to hmac_init().

This was detected by the improved crypto self-tests in v5.2, by loading
the tcrypt module with CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS=y enabled.  I
didn't notice this bug when I ran the self-tests by requesting the
algorithms via AF_ALG (i.e., not using tcrypt), probably because the
stack layout differs in the two cases and that made a difference here.

<title>crypto: shash - remove shash_desc::flags</title>

The flags field in 'struct shash_desc' never actually does anything.
The only ostensibly supported flag is CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP.
However, no shash algorithm ever sleeps, making this flag a no-op.

With this being the case, inevitably some users who can't sleep wrongly
pass MAY_SLEEP.  These would all need to be fixed if any shash algorithm
actually started sleeping.  For example, the shash_ahash_*() functions,
which wrap a shash algorithm with the ahash API, pass through MAY_SLEEP
from the ahash API to the shash API.  However, the shash functions are
called under kmap_atomic(), so actually they're assumed to never sleep.

Even if it turns out that some users do need preemption points while
hashing large buffers, we could easily provide a helper function
crypto_shash_update_large() which divides the data into smaller chunks
and calls crypto_shash_update() and cond_resched() for each chunk.  It's
not necessary to have a flag in 'struct shash_desc', nor is it necessary
to make individual shash algorithms aware of this at all.

Therefore, remove shash_desc::flags, and document that the
crypto_shash_*() functions can be called from any context.
