<content type='text'>
With the mandatory algorithm testing at registration, we have
now created a deadlock with algorithms requiring fallbacks.
This can happen if the module containing the algorithm requiring
fallback is loaded first, without the fallback module being loaded
first.  The system will then try to test the new algorithm, find
that it needs to load a fallback, and then try to load that.

As both algorithms share the same module alias, it can attempt
to load the original algorithm again and block indefinitely.

As algorithms requiring fallbacks are a special case, we can fix
this by giving them a different module alias than the rest.  Then
it's just a matter of using the right aliases according to what
algorithms we're trying to find.

Geert Uytterhoeven pointed out that we're not zeroing all the
memory when freeing a transform.  This patch fixes it by calling
ksize to ensure that we zero everything in sight.

<title>crypto: api - Rebirth of crypto_alloc_tfm</title>

<id>7b0bac64cd5b74d6f1147524c26216de13a501fd</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch reintroduces a completely revamped crypto_alloc_tfm.
The biggest change is that we now take two crypto_type objects
when allocating a tfm, a frontend and a backend.  In fact this
simply formalises what we've been doing behind the API's back.

For example, as it stands crypto_alloc_ahash may use an
actual ahash algorithm or a crypto_hash algorithm.  Putting
this in the API allows us to do this much more cleanly.

The existing types will be converted across gradually.

<title>crypto: api - Move type exit function into crypto_tfm</title>

<id>4a7794860ba2b56693b1d89fd485fd08cdc763e3</id>

The type exit function needs to undo any allocations done by the type
init function.  However, the type init function may differ depending
on the upper-level type of the transform (e.g., a crypto_blkcipher
instantiated as a crypto_ablkcipher).

So we need to move the exit function out of the lower-level
structure and into crypto_tfm itself.

As it stands this is a no-op since nobody uses exit functions at
all.  However, all cases where a lower-level type is instantiated
as a different upper-level type (such as blkcipher as ablkcipher)
will be converted such that they allocate the underlying transform
and use that instead of casting (e.g., crypto_ablkcipher casted
into crypto_blkcipher).  That will need to use a different exit
function depending on the upper-level type.

This patch also allows the type init/exit functions to call (or not)
cra_init/cra_exit instead of always calling them from the top level.

<title>[CRYPTO] skcipher: Create default givcipher instances</title>

This patch makes crypto_alloc_ablkcipher/crypto_grab_skcipher always
return algorithms that are capable of generating their own IVs through
givencrypt and givdecrypt.  Each algorithm may specify its default IV
generator through the geniv field.

For algorithms that do not set the geniv field, the blkcipher layer will
pick a default.  Currently it's chainiv for synchronous algorithms and
eseqiv for asynchronous algorithms.  Note that if these wrappers do not
work on an algorithm then that algorithm must specify its own geniv or
it can't be used at all.
