Curve25519 has both a library API and a crypto_kpp API.  However, the
crypto_kpp API for Curve25519 had no users outside crypto/testmgr.c.
I.e., no non-test code ever passed "curve25519" to crypto_alloc_kpp().

Remove this unused code.  We'll instead focus on the Curve25519 library
API (&lt;crypto/curve25519.h&gt;), which is a simpler and easier-to-use API
and is the API that is actually being used.

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
 "This is the main crypto library pull request for 6.17. The main focus
  this cycle is on reorganizing the SHA-1 and SHA-2 code, providing
  high-quality library APIs for SHA-1 and SHA-2 including HMAC support,
  and establishing conventions for lib/crypto/ going forward:

   - Migrate the SHA-1 and SHA-512 code (and also SHA-384 which shares
     most of the SHA-512 code) into lib/crypto/. This includes both the
     generic and architecture-optimized code. Greatly simplify how the
     architecture-optimized code is integrated. Add an easy-to-use
     library API for each SHA variant, including HMAC support. Finally,
     reimplement the crypto_shash support on top of the library API.

   - Apply the same reorganization to the SHA-256 code (and also SHA-224
     which shares most of the SHA-256 code). This is a somewhat smaller
     change, due to my earlier work on SHA-256. But this brings in all
     the same additional improvements that I made for SHA-1 and SHA-512.

  There are also some smaller changes:

   - Move the architecture-optimized ChaCha, Poly1305, and BLAKE2s code
     from arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/crypto/ to lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/. For
     these algorithms it's just a move, not a full reorganization yet.

   - Fix the MIPS chacha-core.S to build with the clang assembler.

   - Fix the Poly1305 functions to work in all contexts.

   - Fix a performance regression in the x86_64 Poly1305 code.

   - Clean up the x86_64 SHA-NI optimized SHA-1 assembly code.

  Note that since the new organization of the SHA code is much simpler,
  the diffstat of this pull request is negative, despite the addition of
  new fully-documented library APIs for multiple SHA and HMAC-SHA
  variants.

  These APIs will allow further simplifications across the kernel as
  users start using them instead of the old-school crypto API. (I've
  already written a lot of such conversion patches, removing over 1000
  more lines of code. But most of those will target 6.18 or later)"

Like I did for crypto/sha512.c, rework crypto/sha1_generic.c (renamed to
crypto/sha1.c) to simply wrap the normal library functions instead of
accessing the low-level block function directly.  Also add support for
HMAC-SHA1, again just wrapping the library functions.

Since the replacement crypto_shash algorithms are implemented using the
(potentially arch-optimized) library functions, give them driver names
ending with "-lib" rather than "-generic".  Update crypto/testmgr.c and
an odd driver to take this change in driver name into account.

Note: to see the diff from crypto/sha1_generic.c to crypto/sha1.c, view
this commit with 'git show -M10'.

crypto/hash_info.c just contains a couple of arrays that map HASH_ALGO_*
algorithm IDs to properties of those algorithms.  It is compiled only
when CRYPTO_HASH_INFO=y, but currently CRYPTO_HASH_INFO depends on
CRYPTO.  Since this can be useful without the old-school crypto API,
move it into lib/crypto/ so that it no longer depends on CRYPTO.

This eliminates the need for FS_VERITY to select CRYPTO after it's been
converted to use lib/crypto/.

Like I did for crypto/sha512.c, rework crypto/sha256.c to simply wrap
the normal library functions instead of accessing the low-level arch-
optimized and generic block functions directly.  Also add support for
HMAC-SHA224 and HMAC-SHA256, again just wrapping the library functions.

Since the replacement crypto_shash algorithms are implemented using the
(potentially arch-optimized) library functions, give them driver names
ending with "-lib" rather than "-generic".  Update crypto/testmgr.c and
a couple odd drivers to take this change in driver name into account.

Besides the above cases which are accounted for, there are no known
cases where the driver names were being depended on.  There is
potential for confusion for people manually checking /proc/crypto (e.g.
https://lore.kernel.org/r/9e33c893-2466-4d4e-afb1-966334e451a2@linux.ibm.com/),
but really people just need to get used to the driver name not being
meaningful for the software algorithms.  Historically, the optimized
code was disabled by default, so there was some purpose to checking
whether it was enabled or not.  However, this is now fixed for all SHA-2
algorithms, and the library code just always does the right thing.  E.g.
if the CPU supports SHA-256 instructions, they are used.

This change does also mean that the generic partial block handling code
in crypto/shash.c, which got added in 6.16, no longer gets used.  But
that's fine; the library has to implement the partial block handling
anyway, and it's better to do it in the library since the block size and
other properties of the algorithm are all fixed at compile time there,
resulting in more streamlined code.

<title>crypto/crc32[c]: register only "-lib" drivers</title>

<id>b0e04dde8e78fd0f08210c594ab29cbbcd841b73</id>
<content type='text'>
For the "crc32" and "crc32c" shash algorithms, instead of registering
"*-generic" drivers as well as conditionally registering "*-$(ARCH)"
drivers, instead just register "*-lib" drivers.  These just use the
regular library functions crc32_le() and crc32c(), so they just do the
right thing and are fully accelerated when supported by the CPU.

This eliminates the need for the CRC library to export crc32_le_base()
and crc32c_base().  Separate commits make those static functions.

Since this commit removes the "crc32-generic" and "crc32c-generic"
driver names which crypto/testmgr.c expects to exist, update testmgr.c
accordingly.  This does mean that testmgr.c will no longer fuzz-test the
"generic" implementation against the "arch" implementation for crc32 and
crc32c, but this was redundant with crc_kunit anyway.

Besides the above, and btrfs_init_csum_hash() which the previous commit
fixed, no code appears to have been relying on the "crc32-generic" or
"crc32c-generic" driver names specifically.

btrfs does export the checksum name and checksum driver name in
/sys/fs/btrfs/$uuid/checksum.  This commit makes the driver name portion
of that file contain "crc32c-lib" instead of "crc32c-generic" or
"crc32c-$(ARCH)".  This should be fine, since in practice the purpose of
the driver name portion of this file seems to have been just to allow
users to manually check whether they needed to enable the optimized
CRC32C code.  This was needed only because of the bug in old kernels
where the optimized CRC32C code defaulted to off and even needed to be
explicitly added to the ramdisk to be used.  Now that it just works in
Linux 6.14 and later, there's no need for users to take any action and
the driver name portion of this is basically obsolete.  (Also, note that
the crc32c driver name already changed in 6.14.)

Delete crypto/sha512_generic.c, which provided "generic" SHA-384 and
SHA-512 crypto_shash algorithms.  Replace it with crypto/sha512.c which
provides SHA-384, SHA-512, HMAC-SHA384, and HMAC-SHA512 crypto_shash
algorithms using the corresponding library functions.

This is a prerequisite for migrating all the arch-optimized SHA-512 code
(which is almost 3000 lines) to lib/crypto/ rather than duplicating it.

Since the replacement crypto_shash algorithms are implemented using the
(potentially arch-optimized) library functions, give them
cra_driver_names ending with "-lib" rather than "-generic".  Update
crypto/testmgr.c and one odd driver to take this change in driver name
into account.  Besides these cases which are accounted for, there are no
known cases where the cra_driver_name was being depended on.

This change does mean that the abstract partial block handling code in
crypto/shash.c, which got added in 6.16, no longer gets used.  But
that's fine; the library has to implement the partial block handling
anyway, and it's better to do it in the library since the block size and
other properties of the algorithm are all fixed at compile time there,
resulting in more streamlined code.

tcrypt is actually a benchmarking module and not the actual tests.  This
regularly causes confusion.  Update the kconfig option name and help
text accordingly.

There is no reason to have separate CRYPTO_NULL2 and CRYPTO_NULL
options.  Just merge them into CRYPTO_NULL.
