With a blatant copy of some MIPS bits we introduce the crc32 and crc32c
hw accelerated module to LoongArch.

LoongArch has provided these instructions to calculate crc32 and crc32c:
        * crc.w.b.w    crcc.w.b.w
        * crc.w.h.w    crcc.w.h.w
        * crc.w.w.w    crcc.w.w.w
        * crc.w.d.w    crcc.w.d.w

So we can make use of these instructions to improve the performance of
calculation for crc32(c) checksums.

As can be seen from the following test results, crc32(c) instructions
can improve the performance by 58%.

                  Software implemention    Hardware acceleration
  Buffer size     time cost (seconds)      time cost (seconds)    Accel.

<title>crypto: engine - fix crypto_queue backlog handling</title>

CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG tells the crypto driver that it should
internally backlog requests until the crypto hw's queue becomes
full. At that point, crypto_engine backlogs the request and returns
-EBUSY. Calling driver such as dm-crypt then waits until the
complete() function is called with a status of -EINPROGRESS before
sending a new request.

The problem lies in the call to complete() with a value of -EINPROGRESS
that is made when a backlog item is present on the queue. The call is
done before the successful execution of the crypto request. In the case
that do_one_request() returns &lt; 0 and the retry support is available,
the request is put back in the queue. This leads upper drivers to send
a new request even if the queue is still full.

The problem can be reproduced by doing a large dd into a crypto
dm-crypt device. This is pretty easy to see when using
Freescale CAAM crypto driver and SWIOTLB dma. Since the actual amount
of requests that can be hold in the queue is unlimited we get IOs error
and dma allocation.

The fix is to call complete with a value of -EINPROGRESS only if
the request is not enqueued back in crypto_queue. This is done
by calling complete() later in the code. In order to delay the decision,
crypto_queue is modified to correctly set the backlog pointer
when a request is enqueued back.

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:

   - Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement

   - Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules

   - My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
     module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
     proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.

  Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
  the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior
  to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective
  debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the
  functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
  reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
  issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
  kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to
  have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will
  want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.

  Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details:

  The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
  patch from Song Liu which replaces the 'struct module_layout' with a
  new 'struct module_memory'. The old data structure tried to put
  together all types of supported module memory types in one data
  structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a
  module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This
  paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way.
  If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we
  handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been
  in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to
  provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as
  quite a bit of fixes have been found for it.

  Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user
  by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module
  specific dynamic debug information.

  Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
  license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
  so to:

   a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
      deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
      part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
      clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
      Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
      kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&amp;D on this area is
      active with no clear solution in sight.

   b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
      of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags

  In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
  for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
  modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
  8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
  Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf").

  Nick has been working on this *for years* and AFAICT I was the only
  one to suggest two alternatives to this approach for tooling. The
  complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in that we'd need a
  possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check if the object
  being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever lead to it
  being part of a module, and if so define a new define
  -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0].

  A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've suggested would be to
  have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as
  well but that means getting kconfig symbol names mapping to modules
  always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am not aware of
  Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite recently Josh
  Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and BPF would
  benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as well but for
  other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr) patches were
  mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has been dropped
  with no clear solution in sight [1].

  In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could
  never be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
  developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
  when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up, and
  so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull requests for
  this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after rc3. LWN has
  good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and the typical
  cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only concrete blocker
  issue he ran into was that we should not remove the MODULE_LICENSE()
  tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if they can never be
  modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due to having to do
  this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who really did *not
  understand* the core of the issue nor were providing any alternative /
  guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped the patches which
  dropped the module license tags where an SPDX license tag was missing,
  it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see if a pull request deals with a
  file which lacks SPDX tags you can just use:

    ./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
	$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)

  You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above, but
  that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
  license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but it
  demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.

  Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees, and I
  just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out. Those
  changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.

  The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
  were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on a
  systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running out
  of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only consists
  of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is already
  present and ready", proving that this was the best we can do on the
  modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.

  The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been in
  linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final fix
  for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
  week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
  window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported with
  larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking a
  bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
  proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
  of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge
  them, but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
  instead"

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:

   - Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement

   - Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules

   - My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
     module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
     proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.

  Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
  the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior
  to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective
  debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the
  functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
  reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
  issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
  kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to
  have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will
  want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.

  Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details:

  The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
  patch from Song Liu which replaces the 'struct module_layout' with a
  new 'struct module_memory'. The old data structure tried to put
  together all types of supported module memory types in one data
  structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a
  module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This
  paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way.
  If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we
  handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been
  in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to
  provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as
  quite a bit of fixes have been found for it.

  Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user
  by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module
  specific dynamic debug information.

  Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
  license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
  so to:

   a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
      deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
      part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
      clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
      Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
      kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&amp;D on this area is
      active with no clear solution in sight.

   b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
      of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags

  In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
  for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
  modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
  8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
  Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf").

  Nick has been working on this *for years* and AFAICT I was the only
  one to suggest two alternatives to this approach for tooling. The
  complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in that we'd need a
  possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check if the object
  being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever lead to it
  being part of a module, and if so define a new define
  -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0].

  A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've suggested would be to
  have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as
  well but that means getting kconfig symbol names mapping to modules
  always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am not aware of
  Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite recently Josh
  Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and BPF would
  benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as well but for
  other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr) patches were
  mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has been dropped
  with no clear solution in sight [1].

  In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could
  never be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
  developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
  when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up, and
  so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull requests for
  this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after rc3. LWN has
  good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and the typical
  cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only concrete blocker
  issue he ran into was that we should not remove the MODULE_LICENSE()
  tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if they can never be
  modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due to having to do
  this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who really did *not
  understand* the core of the issue nor were providing any alternative /
  guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped the patches which
  dropped the module license tags where an SPDX license tag was missing,
  it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see if a pull request deals with a
  file which lacks SPDX tags you can just use:

    ./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
	$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)

  You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above, but
  that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
  license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but it
  demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.

  Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees, and I
  just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out. Those
  changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.

  The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
  were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on a
  systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running out
  of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only consists
  of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is already
  present and ready", proving that this was the best we can do on the
  modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.

  The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been in
  linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final fix
  for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
  week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
  window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported with
  larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking a
  bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
  proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
  of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge
  them, but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
  instead"

Add machine keyring CA restriction options to control the type of
keys that may be added to it. The motivation is separation of
certificate signing from code signing keys. Subsquent work will
limit certificates being loaded into the IMA keyring to code
signing keys used for signature verification.

When no restrictions are selected, all Machine Owner Keys (MOK) are added
to the machine keyring.  When CONFIG_INTEGRITY_CA_MACHINE_KEYRING is
selected, the CA bit must be true.  Also the key usage must contain
keyCertSign, any other usage field may be set as well.

When CONFIG_INTEGRITY_CA_MACHINE_KEYRING_MAX is selected, the CA bit must
be true. Also the key usage must contain keyCertSign and the
digitialSignature usage may not be set.

Parse the X.509 Key Usage.  The key usage extension defines the purpose of
the key contained in the certificate.

   id-ce-keyUsage OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=  { id-ce 15 }

      KeyUsage ::= BIT STRING {
           digitalSignature        (0),
           contentCommitment       (1),
           keyEncipherment         (2),
           dataEncipherment        (3),
           keyAgreement            (4),
           keyCertSign             (5),
           cRLSign                 (6),
           encipherOnly            (7),
           decipherOnly            (8) }

If the keyCertSign or digitalSignature is set, store it in the
public_key structure. Having the purpose of the key being stored
during parsing, allows enforcement on the usage field in the future.
This will be used in a follow on patch that requires knowing the
certificate key usage type.
