[ Upstream commit b81e286ba154a4e0f01a94d99179a97f4ba3e396 ]

As algorithm testing is carried out without holding the main crypto
lock, it is always possible for the algorithm to go away during the
test.

So before crypto_alg_tested updates the status of the tested alg,
it checks whether it's still on the list of all algorithms.  This
is inaccurate because it may be off the main list but still on the
list of algorithms to be removed.

Updating the algorithm status is safe per se as the larval still
holds a reference to it.  However, killing spawns of other algorithms
that are of lower priority is clearly a deficiency as it adds
unnecessary churn.

Fix the test by checking whether the algorithm is dead.

This reverts commit 680eb0a99336f7b21ff149bc57579d059421c5de which is
commit 27016f75f5ed47e2d8e0ca75a8ff1f40bc1a5e27 upstream.

It is reported to cause problems in older kernels due to some crypto
drivers having the same name, so revert it here to fix the problems.

[ Upstream commit 9ae4577bc077a7e32c3c7d442c95bc76865c0f17 ]

The function crypto_drop_spawn expects to be called in process
context.  However, when an instance is unregistered while it still
has active users, the last user may cause the instance to be freed
in atomic context.

Fix this by delaying the freeing to a work queue.

[ Upstream commit 4140aafcff167b5b9e8dae6a1709a6de7cac6f74 ]

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.

<title>crypto: api - Demote BUG_ON() in crypto_unregister_alg() to a WARN_ON()</title>

commit a543ada7db729514ddd3ba4efa45f4c7b802ad85 upstream.

The crypto_unregister_alg() function expects callers to ensure that any
algorithm that is unregistered has a refcnt of exactly 1, and issues a
BUG_ON() if this is not the case. However, there are in fact drivers that
will call crypto_unregister_alg() without ensuring that the refcnt has been
lowered first, most notably on system shutdown. This causes the BUG_ON() to
trigger, which prevents a clean shutdown and hangs the system.

To avoid such hangs on shutdown, demote the BUG_ON() in
crypto_unregister_alg() to a WARN_ON() with early return. Cc stable because
this problem was observed on a 6.2 kernel, cf the link below.

CRYPTO_LIB_CHACHA depends on CRYPTO for __crypto_xor, defined in
crypto/algapi.c.  This is a layering violation because the dependencies
should only go in the other direction (crypto/ =&gt; lib/crypto/).  Also
the correct dependency would be CRYPTO_ALGAPI, not CRYPTO.  Fix this by
moving __crypto_xor into the utils module in lib/crypto/.

Note that CRYPTO_LIB_CHACHA_GENERIC selected XOR_BLOCKS, which is
unrelated and unnecessary.  It was perhaps thought that XOR_BLOCKS was
needed for __crypto_xor, but that's not the case.

Dereferencing a misaligned pointer is undefined behavior in C, and may
result in codegen on architectures such as ARM that trigger alignments
traps and expensive fixups in software.

Instead, use the get_aligned()/put_aligned() accessors, which are cheap
or even completely free when CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y.

In the converse case, the prior alignment checks ensure that the casts
are safe, and so no unaligned accessors are necessary.

Currently we do not distinguish between algorithms that fail on
the self-test vs. those which are disabled in FIPS mode (not allowed).
Both are marked as having failed the self-test.

Recently the need arose to allow the usage of certain algorithms only
as arguments to specific template instantiations in FIPS mode. For
example, standalone "dh" must be blocked, but e.g. "ffdhe2048(dh)" is
allowed. Other potential use cases include "cbcmac(aes)", which must
only be used with ccm(), or "ghash", which must be used only for
gcm().

This patch allows this scenario by adding a new flag FIPS_INTERNAL to
indicate those algorithms that are not FIPS-allowed. They can then be
used as template arguments only, i.e. when looked up via
crypto_grab_spawn() to be more specific. The FIPS_INTERNAL bit gets
propagated upwards recursively into the surrounding template
instances, until the construction eventually matches an explicit
testmgr entry with -&gt;fips_allowed being set, if any.

The behaviour to skip !-&gt;fips_allowed self-test executions in FIPS
mode will be retained. Note that this effectively means that
FIPS_INTERNAL algorithms are handled very similarly to the INTERNAL
ones in this regard. It is expected that the FIPS_INTERNAL algorithms
will receive sufficient testing when the larger constructions they're
a part of, if any, get exercised by testmgr.

Note that as a side-effect of this patch algorithms which are not
FIPS-allowed will now return ENOENT instead of ELIBBAD. Hopefully
this is not an issue as some people were relying on this already.
