<title>lib/crypto: mldsa: Explicitly check that 'alg' is a valid value</title>

<id>efb621a57d7e4ce28e12082ba5692231858c4a3a</id>
<content type='text'>
C doesn't guarantee at the language level that an enum actually has one
of the declared values.

For robustness, make mldsa_verify() handle invalid values of 'alg'.

No effect on current callers, who always pass a valid value for 'alg'.
(Except for the KUnit test case that this commit adds.)

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:

 - Migrate the x86 and riscv optimized implementations of various AES
   modes (ECB, CBC, CBC-CTS, CTR, XCTR, XTS) into lib/crypto/.

   This makes the library APIs be properly accelerated on these
   architectures, while still accelerating crypto_skcipher as well.

   It removes a lot of redundant glue code, since the crypto API
   boilerplate no longer needs to be duplicated for these architectures.

   It also fixes the longstanding issue where optimizations for these
   AES modes were disabled by default on these architectures.

 - Optimize AES-XTS on SPARC64 using the SPARC crypto opcodes

 - Move the SipHash code into lib/crypto/

 - Update the ChaCha and Poly1305 functions to take size_t lengths,
   resolving issues where lengths over INT_MAX were mishandled

 - Make frame pointer unwinding work properly in some of the x86
   assembly functions, by following the standard %rbp convention

 - Add helper functions for zeroizing structs

 - Make a few documentation improvements

<id>7b817748bf083ad715a8d70de63f2184178cc372</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a test case which reproduces the bug fixed by commit 24f07e8c07a0
("lib/crypto: arm64: Fix lost Poly1305 carry when resuming NEON state").
It is written in a fairly general way, such that it should also be able
to reproduce similar bugs in other implementations.

Update the comment on test_poly1305_allones_keys_and_message() to more
accurately describe what it does and differentiate it from the new test.

<title>lib: Move SipHash into lib/crypto/</title>

<id>b73abee375f1c3e3d4e5ea9c0cf99a918d8fc9ef</id>
<content type='text'>
The addition of SipHash to lib/ predated the existence of the
lib/crypto/ directory.  Since SipHash is a cryptographic algorithm, move
it from the top-level lib/ directory to lib/crypto/.

(This does mean HalfSipHash comes with it too, as it's in the same
files.  But lib/crypto/ still seems like the proper place for both.)

Specifically:

- Move both siphash.c and siphash_kunit.c.  Keep the header
  &lt;linux/siphash.h&gt; as-is for now.

- Drop the dedicated MAINTAINERS entry for SipHash, as per the
  suggestion from Jason
  (https://lore.kernel.org/r/asB7QVFMlgKgbje2@zx2c4.com/).  The C files
  now just fold up to the "CRYPTO LIBRARY" entry.  Add the header
  explicitly, as it otherwise would be left unmaintained.

- Move the kconfig option that controls the KUnit test.  Put
  "CRYPTO_LIB" in its name and update the prompt and help text to make
  it consistent with the other crypto library test options.

- Enable the KUnit test in lib/crypto/.kunitconfig.

- Link to siphash.rst from the appropriate place in libcrypto-hash.rst.

- Use obj-y instead of lib-y, for consistency with the fact that
  currently lib/crypto/ doesn't use kbuild's support for library file
  goals.  We could keep it as lib-y, but virtually every kernel needs
  SipHash support anyway (with vsprintf, printk, IPv4, IPv6, etc.
  depending on it) so there is no practical difference in this case.

<content type='text'>
Add aead-test-template.h which contains shared test logic for AEAD
algorithms.  It's similar to the existing hash-test-template.h, which
contains shared test logic for hash algorithms.

The initial use cases for this will be AES-CCM and AES-GCM.

It may be used by the existing ChaCha20Poly1305 test suite in the future
as well, though the ChaCha20Poly1305 API currently lacks some of the
functionality that the "template" expects to be present.

Add support for AES-CCM to the crypto library.

This will be used to provide a streamlined implementation of the
"ccm(aes)" crypto_aead algorithm.  Most users of "ccm(aes)" will also be
able to switch to the library, which as usual will be faster and
simpler, e.g.:

   - fs/smb/client/
   - fs/smb/server/
   - net/mac80211/
   - net/mac802154/

(I've already written proof-of-concept patches for all the above, and
they helped inform the API design.)

As in the AES-GCM API, incremental operation is supported.  It has to be
used carefully, especially when decrypting, but it makes the API general
enough to work well for all users.

The AES-CCM library code calls aes_cbcmac_blocks() directly, bypassing
the higher-level aes_cbcmac_init(), aes_cbcmac_update(), and
aes_cbcmac_final().  The latter set of functions is useful only for
AES-CCM, so they don't make sense to keep around and will be removed
once the "ccm(aes)" crypto_aead starts using the AES-CCM library.

Initial test coverage is provided by the crypto_aead support added in a
later commit.  I'm planning a KUnit test suite as well.
