[ Upstream commit cd560235d8f9ddd94aa51e1c4dabdf3212b9b241 ]

The table id (second) argument to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is often
referenced otherwise. This is not the case for CPU features. This
leads to a warning when building the kernel with Clang:
  arch/arm/crypto/crc32-ce-glue.c:239:33: warning: variable
    'crc32_cpu_feature' is not needed and will not be emitted
    [-Wunneeded-internal-declaration]
  static const struct cpu_feature crc32_cpu_feature[] = {
                                  ^

Avoid warnings by using __maybe_unused, similar to commit 1f318a8bafcf
("modules: mark __inittest/__exittest as __maybe_unused").

commit 767f015ea0b7ab9d60432ff6cd06b664fd71f50f upstream.

If the user-provided IV needs to be aligned to the algorithm's
alignmask, then skcipher_walk_virt() copies the IV into a new aligned
buffer walk.iv.  But skcipher_walk_virt() can fail afterwards, and then
if the caller unconditionally accesses walk.iv, it's a use-after-free.

arm32 xts-aes-neonbs doesn't set an alignmask, so currently it isn't
affected by this despite unconditionally accessing walk.iv.  However
this is more subtle than desired, and it was actually broken prior to
the alignmask being removed by commit cc477bf64573 ("crypto: arm/aes -
replace bit-sliced OpenSSL NEON code").  Thus, update xts-aes-neonbs to
start checking the return value of skcipher_walk_virt().

[ Upstream commit c64316502008064c158fa40cc250665e461b0f2a ]

The SHA512 code we adopted from the OpenSSL project uses a rather
peculiar way to take the address of the round constant table: it
takes the address of the sha256_block_data_order() routine, and
substracts a constant known quantity to arrive at the base of the
table, which is emitted by the same assembler code right before
the routine's entry point.

However, recent versions of binutils have helpfully changed the
behavior of references emitted via an ADR instruction when running
in Thumb2 mode: it now takes the Thumb execution mode bit into
account, which is bit 0 af the address. This means the produced
table address also has bit 0 set, and so we end up with an address
value pointing 1 byte past the start of the table, which results
in crashes such as

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bf825000

Given that this affects older kernels as well, in case they are built
with a recent toolchain, apply a minimal backportable fix, which is
to emit another non-code label at the start of the routine, and
reference that instead. (This is similar to the current upstream state
of this file in OpenSSL)

commit 62fecf295e3c48be1b5f17c440b93875b9adb4d6 upstream.

The SIMD routine ported from x86 used to have a special code path
for inputs &lt; 16 bytes, which got lost somewhere along the way.
Instead, the current glue code aligns the input pointer to permit
the NEON routine to use special versions of the vld1 instructions
that assume 16 byte alignment, but this could result in inputs of
less than 16 bytes to be passed in. This not only fails the new
extended tests that Eric has implemented, it also results in the
code reading past the end of the input, which could potentially
result in crashes when dealing with less than 16 bytes of input
at the end of a page which is followed by an unmapped page.

So update the glue code to only invoke the NEON routine if the
input is at least 16 bytes.

commit 6aaf49b495b446ff6eec0ac983f781ca0dc56a73 upstream.

The decision to rebuild .S_shipped is made based on the relative
timestamps of .S_shipped and .pl files but git makes this essentially
random. This means that the perl script might run anyway (usually at
most once per checkout), defeating the whole purpose of _shipped.

Fix by skipping the rule unless explicit make variables are provided:
REGENERATE_ARM_CRYPTO or REGENERATE_ARM64_CRYPTO.

This can produce nasty occasional build failures downstream, for example
for toolchains with broken perl. The solution is minimally intrusive to
make it easier to push into stable.

<content type='text'>
commit a208fa8f33031b9e0aba44c7d1b7e68eb0cbd29e upstream.

We need to consistently enforce that keyed hashes cannot be used without
setting the key.  To do this we need a reliable way to determine whether
a given hash algorithm is keyed or not.  AF_ALG currently does this by
checking for the presence of a -&gt;setkey() method.  However, this is
actually slightly broken because the CRC-32 algorithms implement
-&gt;setkey() but can also be used without a key.  (The CRC-32 "key" is not
actually a cryptographic key but rather represents the initial state.
If not overridden, then a default initial state is used.)

Prepare to fix this by introducing a flag CRYPTO_ALG_OPTIONAL_KEY which
indicates that the algorithm has a -&gt;setkey() method, but it is not
required to be called.  Then set it on all the CRC-32 algorithms.

The same also applies to the Adler-32 implementation in Lustre.

Also, the cryptd and mcryptd templates have to pass through the flag
from their underlying algorithm.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

For the final round, avoid the expanded and padded lookup tables
exported by the generic AES driver. Instead, for encryption, we can
perform byte loads from the same table we used for the inner rounds,
which will still be hot in the caches. For decryption, use the inverse
AES Sbox directly, which is 4x smaller than the inverse lookup table
exported by the generic driver.

This should significantly reduce the Dcache footprint of our code,
which makes the code more robust against timing attacks. It does not
introduce any additional module dependencies, given that we already
rely on the core AES module for the shared key expansion routines.

<title>crypto: arm/ghash - add NEON accelerated fallback for vmull.p64</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3759ee057261a45da0505e79084de8b6ac31c4a5</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement a NEON fallback for systems that do support NEON but have
no support for the optional 64x64-&gt;128 polynomial multiplication
instruction that is part of the ARMv8 Crypto Extensions. It is based
on the paper "Fast Software Polynomial Multiplication on ARM Processors
Using the NEON Engine" by Danilo Camara, Conrado Gouvea, Julio Lopez and
Ricardo Dahab (https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01506572)

On a 32-bit guest executing under KVM on a Cortex-A57, the new code is
not only 4x faster than the generic table based GHASH driver, it is also
time invariant. (Note that the existing vmull.p64 code is 16x faster on
this core).
