Dereferencing a misaligned pointer is undefined behavior in C, and may
result in codegen on architectures such as ARM that trigger alignments
traps and expensive fixups in software.

Instead, use the get_aligned()/put_aligned() accessors, which are cheap
or even completely free when CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y.

In the converse case, the prior alignment checks ensure that the casts
are safe, and so no unaligned accessors are necessary.

<title>crypto: api - allow algs only in specific constructions in FIPS mode</title>

<id>d6097b8d5d55f26cd2244e7e7f00a5a077772a91</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we do not distinguish between algorithms that fail on
the self-test vs. those which are disabled in FIPS mode (not allowed).
Both are marked as having failed the self-test.

Recently the need arose to allow the usage of certain algorithms only
as arguments to specific template instantiations in FIPS mode. For
example, standalone "dh" must be blocked, but e.g. "ffdhe2048(dh)" is
allowed. Other potential use cases include "cbcmac(aes)", which must
only be used with ccm(), or "ghash", which must be used only for
gcm().

This patch allows this scenario by adding a new flag FIPS_INTERNAL to
indicate those algorithms that are not FIPS-allowed. They can then be
used as template arguments only, i.e. when looked up via
crypto_grab_spawn() to be more specific. The FIPS_INTERNAL bit gets
propagated upwards recursively into the surrounding template
instances, until the construction eventually matches an explicit
testmgr entry with -&gt;fips_allowed being set, if any.

The behaviour to skip !-&gt;fips_allowed self-test executions in FIPS
mode will be retained. Note that this effectively means that
FIPS_INTERNAL algorithms are handled very similarly to the INTERNAL
ones in this regard. It is expected that the FIPS_INTERNAL algorithms
will receive sufficient testing when the larger constructions they're
a part of, if any, get exercised by testmgr.

Note that as a side-effect of this patch algorithms which are not
FIPS-allowed will now return ENOENT instead of ELIBBAD. Hopefully
this is not an issue as some people were relying on this already.

<title>crypto: api - Move cryptomgr soft dependency into algapi</title>

The soft dependency on cryptomgr is only needed in algapi because
if algapi isn't present then no algorithms can be loaded.  This
also fixes the case where api is built-in but algapi is built as
a module as the soft dependency would otherwise get lost.

As testmgr is part of cryptomgr which was designed to be unloadable
as a module, it shouldn't export any symbols for other crypto
modules to use as that would prevent it from being unloaded.  All
its functionality is meant to be accessed through notifiers.

The symbol crypto_simd_disabled_for_test was added to testmgr
which caused it to be pinned as a module if its users were also
loaded.  This patch moves it out of testmgr and into crypto/algapi.c
so cryptomgr can again be unloaded and replaced on demand.

The delayed boot-time testing patch created a dependency loop
between api.c and algapi.c because it added a crypto_alg_tested
call to the former when the crypto manager is disabled.

We could instead avoid creating the test larvals if the crypto
manager is disabled.  This avoids the dependency loop as well
as saving some unnecessary work, albeit in a very unlikely case.

When complex algorithms that depend on other algorithms are built
into the kernel, the order of registration must be done such that
the underlying algorithms are ready before the ones on top are
registered.  As otherwise they would fail during the self-test
which is required during registration.

In the past we have used subsystem initialisation ordering to
guarantee this.  The number of such precedence levels are limited
and they may cause ripple effects in other subsystems.

This patch solves this problem by delaying all self-tests during
boot-up for built-in algorithms.  They will be tested either when
something else in the kernel requests for them, or when we have
finished registering all built-in algorithms, whichever comes
earlier.

After removing CRYPTOA_U32, the type of the variable attrs can be

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;
