      crypto: make all generic algorithms set cra_driver_name · d6ebf528
      Eric Biggers authored
      Most generic crypto algorithms declare a driver name ending in
      "-generic".  The rest don't declare a driver name and instead rely on
      the crypto API automagically appending "-generic" upon registration.
      
      Having multiple conventions is unnecessarily confusing and makes it
      harder to grep for all generic algorithms in the kernel source tree.
      But also, allowing NULL driver names is problematic because sometimes
      people fail to set it, e.g. the case fixed by commit 41798036
      
      
      ("crypto: cavium/zip - fix collision with generic cra_driver_name").
      
      Of course, people can also incorrectly name their drivers "-generic".
      But that's much easier to notice / grep for.
      
      Therefore, let's make cra_driver_name mandatory.  In preparation for
      this, this patch makes all generic algorithms set cra_driver_name.

      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.

      Thanks for the suggestion, the init() is replaced with
      
      	<algorithm name>_mod_init ()
      
      and fini () is replaced with <algorithm name>_mod_fini.

      [CRYPTO] api: Get rid of flags argument to setkey · 560c06ae
      Herbert Xu authored
      
      Now that the tfm is passed directly to setkey instead of the ctx, we no
      longer need to pass the &tfm->crt_flags pointer.
      
      This patch also gets rid of a few unnecessary checks on the key length
      for ciphers as the cipher layer guarantees that the key length is within
      the bounds specified by the algorithm.
      
      Rather than testing dia_setkey every time, this patch does it only once
      during crypto_alloc_tfm.  The redundant check from crypto_digest_setkey
      is also removed.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
