The definitions for crypto_attr-related types and enums are not
needed by most Crypto API users.  This patch moves them out of
crypto.h and into algapi.h/internal.h depending on the extent of
their use.

According to the advice of Eric and Herbert, type CRYPTOA_U32
has been unused for over a decade, so remove the code related to
CRYPTOA_U32.

After removing CRYPTOA_U32, the type of the variable attrs can be
changed from union to struct.

The cipher routines in the crypto API are mostly intended for templates
implementing skcipher modes generically in software, and shouldn't be
used outside of the crypto subsystem. So move the prototypes and all
related definitions to a new header file under include/crypto/internal.
Also, let's use the new module namespace feature to move the symbol
exports into a new namespace CRYPTO_INTERNAL.

<title>crypto: algapi - Remove skbuff.h inclusion</title>

<content type='text'>
The header file algapi.h includes skbuff.h unnecessarily since
all we need is a forward declaration for struct sk_buff.  This
patch removes that inclusion.

Unfortunately skbuff.h pulls in a lot of things and drivers over
the years have come to rely on it so this patch adds a lot of
missing inclusions that result from this.

This patch moves crypto_yield into internal.h as it's only used
by internal code such as skcipher.  It also adds a missing inclusion
of sched.h which is required for cond_resched.

The header files in internal.h have been cleaned up to remove some
ancient junk and add some more specific inclusions.

<title>crypto: algapi - introduce the flag CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY</title>

<id>fbb6cda44190d72aa5199d728797aabc6d2ed816</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce a new algorithm flag CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY.  If this
flag is set, then the driver allocates memory in its request routine.
Such drivers are not suitable for disk encryption because GFP_ATOMIC
allocation can fail anytime (causing random I/O errors) and GFP_KERNEL
allocation can recurse into the block layer, causing a deadlock.

For now, this flag is only implemented for some algorithm types.  We
also assume some usage constraints for it to be meaningful, since there
are lots of edge cases the crypto API allows (e.g., misaligned or
fragmented scatterlists) that mean that nearly any crypto algorithm can
allocate memory in some case.  See the comment for details.

Also add this flag to CRYPTO_ALG_INHERITED_FLAGS so that when a template
is instantiated, this flag is set on the template instance if it is set
on any algorithm the instance uses.

Based on a patch by Mikulas Patocka &lt;mpatocka@redhat.com&gt;
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/alpine.LRH.2.02.2006301414580.30526@file01.intranet.prod.int.rdu2.redhat.com).

<title>crypto: algapi - add NEED_FALLBACK to INHERITED_FLAGS</title>

CRYPTO_ALG_NEED_FALLBACK is handled inconsistently.  When it's requested
to be clear, some templates propagate that request to child algorithms,
while others don't.

It's apparently desired for NEED_FALLBACK to be propagated, to avoid
deadlocks where a module tries to load itself while it's being
initialized, and to avoid unnecessarily complex fallback chains where we
have e.g. cbc-aes-$driver falling back to cbc(aes-$driver) where
aes-$driver itself falls back to aes-generic, instead of cbc-aes-$driver
simply falling back to cbc(aes-generic).  There have been a number of
fixes to this effect:

commit 89027579bc6c ("crypto: xts - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit")
commit d2c2a85cfe82 ("crypto: ctr - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit")
commit e6c2e65c70a6 ("crypto: cbc - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit")

But it seems that other templates can have the same problems too.

To avoid this whack-a-mole, just add NEED_FALLBACK to INHERITED_FLAGS so
that it's always inherited.

<title>crypto: algapi - use common mechanism for inheriting flags</title>

<id>7bcb2c99f8ed032cfb3f5596b4dccac6b1f501df</id>

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.
