      crypto: remove CRYPTO_TFM_RES_BAD_KEY_LEN · 674f368a
      Eric Biggers authored
      The CRYPTO_TFM_RES_BAD_KEY_LEN flag was apparently meant as a way to
      make the ->setkey() functions provide more information about errors.
      
      However, no one actually checks for this flag, which makes it pointless.
      
      Also, many algorithms fail to set this flag when given a bad length key.
      Reviewing just the generic implementations, this is the case for
      aes-fixed-time, cbcmac, echainiv, nhpoly1305, pcrypt, rfc3686, rfc4309,
      rfc7539, rfc7539esp, salsa20, seqiv, and xcbc.  But there are probably
      many more in arch/*/crypto/ and drivers/crypto/.
      
      Some algorithms can even set this flag when the key is the correct
      length.  For example, authenc and authencesn set it when the key payload
      is malformed in any way (not just a bad length), the atmel-sha and ccree
      drivers can set it if a memory allocation fails, and the chelsio driver
      sets it for bad auth tag lengths, not just bad key lengths.
      
      So even if someone actually wanted to start checking this flag (which
      seems unlikely, si...

      crypto: run initcalls for generic implementations earlier · c4741b23
      Eric Biggers authored
      
      Use subsys_initcall for registration of all templates and generic
      algorithm implementations, rather than module_init.  Then change
      cryptomgr to use arch_initcall, to place it before the subsys_initcalls.
      
      This is needed so that when both a generic and optimized implementation
      of an algorithm are built into the kernel (not loadable modules), the
      generic implementation is registered before the optimized one.
      Otherwise, the self-tests for the optimized implementation are unable to
      allocate the generic implementation for the new comparison fuzz tests.
      
      Note that on arm, a side effect of this change is that self-tests for
      generic implementations may run before the unaligned access handler has
      been installed.  So, unaligned accesses will crash the kernel.  This is
      arguably a good thing as it makes it easier to detect that type of bug.
