Add a .kunitconfig file to the lib/crypto/ directory so that the crypto
library tests can be run more easily using kunit.py.  Example with UML:

    tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=lib/crypto

Example with QEMU:

    tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=lib/crypto --arch=arm64 --make_options LLVM=1

<title>lib/crypto: tests: Depend on library options rather than selecting them</title>

<id>4478e8eeb87120c11e90041864c2233238b2155a</id>
<content type='text'>
The convention for KUnit tests is to have the test kconfig options
visible only when the code they depend on is already enabled.  This way
only the tests that are relevant to the particular kernel build can be
enabled, either manually or via KUNIT_ALL_TESTS.

Update lib/crypto/tests/Kconfig to follow that convention, i.e. depend
on the corresponding library options rather than selecting them.  This
fixes an issue where enabling KUNIT_ALL_TESTS enabled non-test code.

This does mean that it becomes a bit more difficult to enable *all* the
crypto library tests (which is what I do as a maintainer of the code),
since doing so will now require enabling other options that select the
libraries.  Regardless, we should follow the standard KUnit convention.
I'll also add a .kunitconfig file that does enable all these options.

Note: currently most of the crypto library options are selected by
visible options in crypto/Kconfig, which can be used to enable them
without too much trouble.  If in the future we end up with more cases
like CRYPTO_LIB_CURVE25519 which is selected only by WIREGUARD (thus
making CRYPTO_LIB_CURVE25519_KUNIT_TEST effectively depend on WIREGUARD
after this commit), we could consider adding a new kconfig option that
enables all the library code specifically for testing.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

I finally got a big endian PPC64 kernel to boot in QEMU.  The PPC64 VSX
optimized AES library code does work in that case, with the exception of
rndkey_from_vsx() which doesn't take into account that the order in
which the VSX code stores the round key words depends on the endianness.
So fix rndkey_from_vsx() to do the right thing on big endian CPUs.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
     make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls
     for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.

     This generates better and faster code with very small or no text
     size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than
     the actual inlined helper.

   - Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
     also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
     basis.

   - Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
     Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
     buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage
     by up to ~30%.

   - Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the
     RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
     user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without
     the HBH hint.

   - Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
     resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,
     aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.

   - Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the
     rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing
     a single global rate on the interface.

   - Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
     netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations
     that are safer in crash scenarios.

   - Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,
     saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.

   - Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most
     protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.

   - Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.

   - Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.

   - Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies
     between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.

   - Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
     across different network namespaces.

   - Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
     optimizations.

   - Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
     to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes
     back online.

  Driver API:

   - Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a
     DPLL device via netlink.

   - Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
     media ports over a single MAC.

   - Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties,
     to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential
     signaling.

   - Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.

  Device drivers:

   - Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.

   - Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet
     controller.

   - Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches

   - Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.

   - Convert existing driver timestamp configuration reporting to
     hwtstamp_get and remove legacy ioctl().

   - Convert existing drivers to .get_rx_ring_count(), simplifing the RX
     ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - Broadcom (bnxt, bng):
         - bnxt: add FW interface update to support FEC stats histogram
           and NVRAM defragmentation
         - bng: add TSO and H/W GRO support
      - nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5):
         - improve latency of channel restart operations, reducing the
           used H/W resources
         - add TSO support for UDP over GRE over VLAN
         - add flow counters support for hardware steering (HWS) rules
         - use a static memory area to store headers for H/W GRO,
           leading to 12% RX tput improvement
      - Intel (100G, ice, idpf):
         - ice: reorganizes layout of Tx and Rx rings for cacheline
           locality and utilizes __cacheline_group* macros on the new
           layouts
         - ice: introduces Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) support
      - Meta (fbnic):
         - adds debugfs for firmware mailbox and tx/rx rings vectors

   - Ethernet virtual:
      - geneve: introduce GRO/GSO support for double UDP encapsulation

   - Ethernet NICs consumer, and embedded:
      - Synopsys (stmmac):
         - some code refactoring and cleanups
      - RealTek (r8169):
         - add support for RTL8127ATF (10G Fiber SFP)
         - add dash and LTR support
      - Airoha:
         - AN8811HB 2.5 Gbps phy support
      - Freescale (fec):

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
     make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls
     for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.

     This generates better and faster code with very small or no text
     size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than
     the actual inlined helper.

   - Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
     also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
     basis.

   - Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
     Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
     buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage
     by up to ~30%.

   - Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the
     RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
     user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without
     the HBH hint.

   - Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
     resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,
     aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.

   - Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the
     rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing
     a single global rate on the interface.

   - Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
     netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations
     that are safer in crash scenarios.

   - Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,
     saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.

   - Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most
     protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.

   - Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.

   - Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.

   - Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies
     between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.

   - Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
     across different network namespaces.

   - Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
     optimizations.

   - Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
     to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes
     back online.

  Driver API:

   - Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a
     DPLL device via netlink.

   - Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
     media ports over a single MAC.

   - Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties,
     to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential
     signaling.

   - Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.

  Device drivers:

   - Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.

   - Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet
     controller.

   - Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches

   - Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.

   - Convert existing driver timestamp configuration reporting to
     hwtstamp_get and remove legacy ioctl().

   - Convert existing drivers to .get_rx_ring_count(), simplifing the RX
     ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - Broadcom (bnxt, bng):
         - bnxt: add FW interface update to support FEC stats histogram
           and NVRAM defragmentation
         - bng: add TSO and H/W GRO support
      - nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5):
         - improve latency of channel restart operations, reducing the
           used H/W resources
         - add TSO support for UDP over GRE over VLAN
         - add flow counters support for hardware steering (HWS) rules
         - use a static memory area to store headers for H/W GRO,
           leading to 12% RX tput improvement
      - Intel (100G, ice, idpf):
         - ice: reorganizes layout of Tx and Rx rings for cacheline
           locality and utilizes __cacheline_group* macros on the new
           layouts
         - ice: introduces Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) support
      - Meta (fbnic):
         - adds debugfs for firmware mailbox and tx/rx rings vectors

Now that there are no users of the low-level SHA-1 interface, remove it.

Specifically:

- Remove SHA1_DIGEST_WORDS (no longer used)
- Remove sha1_init_raw() (no longer used)
- Rename sha1_transform() to sha1_block_generic() and make it static
- Move SHA1_WORKSPACE_WORDS into lib/crypto/sha1.c
