Remove support for the "Crypto usage statistics" feature
(CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS).  This feature does not appear to have ever been
used, and it is harmful because it significantly reduces performance and
is a large maintenance burden.

Covering each of these points in detail:

1. Feature is not being used

Since these generic crypto statistics are only readable using netlink,
it's fairly straightforward to look for programs that use them.  I'm
unable to find any evidence that any such programs exist.  For example,
Debian Code Search returns no hits except the kernel header and kernel
code itself and translations of the kernel header:
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=CRYPTOCFGA_STAT&literal=1&perpkg=1

(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/1537351855-16618-1-git-send-email-clabbe@baylibre.com/)

said "The goal is to have an ifconfig for crypto device."  This doesn't
appear to have happened.

It's not clear that there is real demand for crypto statistics.  Just
because the kernel provides other types of statistics such as I/O and
networking statistics and some people find those useful does not mean
that crypto statistics are useful too.

Further evidence that programs are not using CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is that
it was able to be disabled in RHEL and Fedora as a bug fix
(https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-9/-/merge_requests/2947).

Even further evidence comes from the fact that there are and have been
bugs in how the stats work, but they were never reported.  For example,
before Linux v6.7 hash stats were double-counted in most cases.

There has also never been any documentation for this feature, so it
might be hard to use even if someone wanted to.

2. CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS significantly reduces performance

Enabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS significantly reduces the performance of
the crypto API, even if no program ever retrieves the statistics.  This
primarily affects systems with large number of CPUs.  For example,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2039576

 reported
that Lustre client encryption performance improved from 21.7GB/s to
48.2GB/s by disabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS.

It can be argued that this means that CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS should be
optimized with per-cpu counters similar to many of the networking
counters.  But no one has done this in 5+ years.  This is consistent
with the fact that the feature appears to be unused, so there seems to
be little interest in improving it as opposed to just disabling it.

It can be argued that because CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is off by default,
performance doesn't matter.  But Linux distros tend to error on the side
of enabling options.  The option is enabled in Ubuntu and Arch Linux,
and until recently was enabled in RHEL and Fedora (see above).  So, even
just having the option available is harmful to users.

3. CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is a large maintenance burden

There are over 1000 lines of code associated with CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS,
spread among 32 files.  It significantly complicates much of the
implementation of the crypto API.  After the initial submission, many
fixes and refactorings have consumed effort of multiple people to keep
this feature "working".  We should be spending this effort elsewhere.

Checking the config via ifdef incorrectly compiles out the report
functions when CRYPTO_USER is set to =m. Fix it by using IS_ENABLED()
instead.

The report function is currently conditionalised on CONFIG_NET.
As it's only used by CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER, conditionalising on that
instead of CONFIG_NET makes more sense.

This gets rid of a rarely used code-path.

Move all stat code specific to kpp into the kpp code.

While we're at it, change the stats so that bytes and counts
are always incremented even in case of error.  This allows the
reference counting to be removed as we can now increment the
counters prior to the operation.

After the operation we simply increase the error count if necessary.
This is safe as errors can only occur synchronously (or rather,
the existing code already ignored asynchronous errors which are
only visible to the callback function).

The upcoming support for the RFC 7919 ffdhe group parameters will be

Furthermore, it might be perhaps be desirable to provide KDF templates in
the future, which would similarly wrap an inner kpp_alg and present
themselves to the outside as another kpp_alg, transforming the shared
secret on its way out.

Introduce the bits needed for supporting KPP template instances. Everything
related to inner kpp_alg spawns potentially being held by such template
instances will be deferred to a subsequent patch in order to facilitate
review.

Define struct struct kpp_instance in close analogy to the already existing

Implement the new kpp_register_instance() template instance registration
primitive. Provide some helper functions for

  struct kpp_instance,
- obtaining the instantiating kpp_instance from a crypto_kpp transform and
- for accessing a given kpp_instance's implementation specific context
  data.

Annotate everything with proper kernel-doc comments, even though
include/crypto/internal/kpp.h is not considered for the generated docs.

There have been a pretty ridiculous number of issues with initializing
the report structures that are copied to userspace by NETLINK_CRYPTO.
Commit 4473710d ("crypto: user - Prepare for CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME
expansion") replaced some strncpy()s with strlcpy()s, thereby
introducing information leaks.  Later two other people tried to replace
other strncpy()s with strlcpy() too, which would have introduced even
more information leaks:

    - https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/954991/
    - https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10434351/

Commit cac5818c

 ("crypto: user - Implement a generic crypto
statistics") also uses the buggy strlcpy() approach and therefore leaks
uninitialized memory to userspace.  A fix was proposed, but it was
originally incomplete.

Seeing as how apparently no one can get this right with the current
approach, change all the reporting functions to:

- Start by memsetting the report structure to 0.  This guarantees it's
  always initialized, regardless of what happens later.
- Initialize all strings using strscpy().  This is safe after the
  memset, ensures null termination of long strings, avoids unnecessary
  work, and avoids the -Wstringop-truncation warnings from gcc.
- Use sizeof(var) instead of sizeof(type).  This is more robust against
  copy+paste errors.

For simplicity, also reuse the -EMSGSIZE return value from nla_put().

("kernel: use macros from compiler.h instead of __attribute__((...))")

I submitted 4 total patches. They are part of task I've taken up to
increase compiler portability in the kernel. I've cleaned up the
subsystems under /kernel /mm /block and /security, this patch targets
/crypto.

There is <linux/compiler.h> which provides macros for various gcc specific
constructs. Eg: __weak for __attribute__((weak)). I've cleaned all
instances of gcc specific attributes with the right macros for the crypto
subsystem.

I had to make one additional change into compiler-gcc.h for the case when
one wants to use this: __attribute__((aligned) and not specify an alignment
factor. From the gcc docs, this will result in the largest alignment for
that data type on the target machine so I've named the macro
__aligned_largest. Please advise if another name is more appropriate.

Add key-agreement protocol primitives (kpp) API which allows to
implement primitives required by protocols such as DH and ECDH.
The API is composed mainly by the following functions
 * set_secret() - It allows the user to set his secret, also
   referred to as his private key, along with the parameters
   known to both parties involved in the key-agreement session.
 * generate_public_key() - It generates the public key to be sent to
   the other counterpart involved in the key-agreement session. The
   function has to be called after set_params() and set_secret()
 * generate_secret() - It generates the shared secret for the session

Other functions such as init() and exit() are provided for allowing
cryptographic hardware to be inizialized properly before use
