Linus Torvalds 370c388319 Merge tag 'libcrypto-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux
Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:

 - Migrate more hash algorithms from the traditional crypto subsystem to
   lib/crypto/

   Like the algorithms migrated earlier (e.g. SHA-*), this simplifies
   the implementations, improves performance, enables further
   simplifications in calling code, and solves various other issues:

     - AES CBC-based MACs (AES-CMAC, AES-XCBC-MAC, and AES-CBC-MAC)

         - Support these algorithms in lib/crypto/ using the AES library
           and the existing arm64 assembly code

         - Reimplement the traditional crypto API's "cmac(aes)",
           "xcbc(aes)", and "cbcmac(aes)" on top of the library

         - Convert mac80211 to use the AES-CMAC library. Note: several
           other subsystems can use it too and will be converted later

         - Drop the broken, nonstandard, and likely unused support for
           "xcbc(aes)" with key lengths other than 128 bits

         - Enable optimizations by default

     - GHASH

         - Migrate the standalone GHASH code into lib/crypto/

         - Integrate the GHASH code more closely with the very similar
           POLYVAL code, and improve the generic GHASH implementation to
           resist cache-timing attacks and use much less memory

         - Reimplement the AES-GCM library and the "gcm" crypto_aead
           template on top of the GHASH library. Remove "ghash" from the
           crypto_shash API, as it's no longer needed

         - Enable optimizations by default

     - SM3

         - Migrate the kernel's existing SM3 code into lib/crypto/, and
           reimplement the traditional crypto API's "sm3" on top of it

         - I don't recommend using SM3, but this cleanup is worthwhile
           to organize the code the same way as other algorithms

 - Testing improvements:

     - Add a KUnit test suite for each of the new library APIs

     - Migrate the existing ChaCha20Poly1305 test to KUnit

     - Make the KUnit all_tests.config enable all crypto library tests

     - Move the test kconfig options to the Runtime Testing menu

 - Other updates to arch-optimized crypto code:

     - Optimize SHA-256 for Zhaoxin CPUs using the Padlock Hash Engine

     - Remove some MD5 implementations that are no longer worth keeping

     - Drop big endian and voluntary preemption support from the arm64
       code, as those configurations are no longer supported on arm64

 - Make jitterentropy and samples/tsm-mr use the crypto library APIs
