<title>crypto: sun8i-ce - Fix use after free in unprepare</title>

sun8i_ce_cipher_unprepare should be called before
crypto_finalize_skcipher_request, because client callbacks may
immediately free memory, that isn't needed anymore. But it will be
used by unprepare after free. Before removing prepare/unprepare
callbacks it was handled by crypto engine in crypto_finalize_request.

Usually that results in a pointer dereference problem during a in
crypto selftest.

<title>crypto: sun8i-ce - Use kcalloc() instead of kzalloc()</title>

As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes,
and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead
to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the
caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear
overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.

So, use the purpose specific kcalloc() function instead of the argument
size * count in the kzalloc() function.

<title>crypto: sun8i-ss - remove unnecessary alignmask for ahashes</title>

<id>028a14470e0f937f037d2193d836148af8dc2d5c</id>
<content type='text'>
The crypto API's support for alignmasks for ahash algorithms is nearly
useless, as its only effect is to cause the API to align the key and
result buffers.  The drivers that happen to be specifying an alignmask
for ahash rarely actually need it.  When they do, it's easily fixable,
especially considering that these buffers cannot be used for DMA.

In preparation for removing alignmask support from ahash, this patch
makes the sun8i-ss driver no longer use it.  This driver didn't actually
rely on it; it only writes to the result buffer in sun8i_ss_hash_run(),
simply using memcpy().  And sun8i_ss_hmac_setkey() does not assume any
alignment for the key buffer.

The crypto API's support for alignmasks for ahash algorithms is nearly
useless, as its only effect is to cause the API to align the key and
result buffers.  The drivers that happen to be specifying an alignmask
for ahash rarely actually need it.  When they do, it's easily fixable,
especially considering that these buffers cannot be used for DMA.

In preparation for removing alignmask support from ahash, this patch
makes the sun8i-ce driver no longer use it.  This driver didn't actually
rely on it; it only writes to the result buffer in sun8i_ce_hash_run(),
simply using memcpy().  And this driver only supports unkeyed hash
algorithms, so the key buffer need not be considered.

using the unaligned access helpers.  And this driver only supports
unkeyed hash algorithms, so the key buffer need not be considered.

<title>crypto: sun8i-ss - Convert to platform remove callback returning void</title>

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.

To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.
