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

<id>c6ce9c5831cae515d375a01b97ae1778689acf19</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>crypto: api - Do not create test larvals if manager is disabled</title>

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.

Given that crypto_alloc_tfm() may return ERR pointers, and to avoid
crashes on obscure error paths where such pointers are presented to
crypto_destroy_tfm() (such as [0]), add an ERR_PTR check there
before dereferencing the second argument as a struct crypto_tfm
pointer.

<title>mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()</title>

As said by Linus:

  A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
  Otherwise it's actively misleading.

  In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
  caller wants.

  In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
  future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
  something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.

The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.

Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.

The renaming is done by using the command sequence:

  git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
  xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'

followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

For a Linux server with NUMA, there are possibly multiple (de)compressors
which are either local or remote to some NUMA node. Some drivers will
automatically use the (de)compressor near the CPU calling acomp_alloc().
However, it is not necessarily correct because users who send acomp_req
could be from different NUMA node with the CPU which allocates acomp.

Just like kernel has kmalloc() and kmalloc_node(), here crypto can have
same support.

There are two problems in crypto_spawn_alg.  First of all it may
return spawn-&gt;alg even if spawn-&gt;dead is set.  This results in a
double-free as detected by syzbot.

Secondly the setting of the DYING flag is racy because we hold
the read-lock instead of the write-lock.  We should instead call
crypto_shoot_alg in a safe manner by gaining a refcount, dropping
the lock, and then releasing the refcount.

This patch fixes both problems.

<title>crypto: api - fix unexpectedly getting generic implementation</title>

<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS=y, the first lookup of an
algorithm that needs to be instantiated using a template will always get
the generic implementation, even when an accelerated one is available.

This happens because the extra self-tests for the accelerated
implementation allocate the generic implementation for comparison
purposes, and then crypto_alg_tested() for the generic implementation
"fulfills" the original request (i.e. sets crypto_larval::adult).

This patch fixes this by only fulfilling the original request if
we are currently the best outstanding larval as judged by the
priority.  If we're not the best then we will ask all waiters on
that larval request to retry the lookup.

Note that this patch introduces a behaviour change when the module
providing the new algorithm is unregistered during the process.
Previously we would have failed with ENOENT, after the patch we
will instead redo the lookup.

This patch fixes it by moving the shooting into the locked section.
