This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must
set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
to return msg_name to the user.
This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the
recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak
uninitialized memory.
Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't
need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the
recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must
cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets
msg_name to NULL.
Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David
Miller.
Changes since RFC:
Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a
non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't
affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the
address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of
verify_iovec.
With this change in place I could remove "
if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0)
msg->msg_name = NULL
".
This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore
msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL.
Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change
comments to netdev style.

The current code does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore
makes net/socket.c leak the local sockaddr_storage variable to userland
-- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory. Fix that.

When the first call to af_alg_make_sg fails, we may return garbage
instead of the real error. This patch fixes it by setting the error
if "copied" is zero.

This patch adds the af_alg plugin for hash, corresponding to
the ahash kernel operation type.
Keys can optionally be set through the setsockopt interface.
Each sendmsg call will finalise the hash unless sent with a MSG_MORE
flag.
Partial hash states can be cloned using accept(2).
The interface is completely synchronous, all operations will
complete prior to the system call returning.
Both sendmsg(2) and splice(2) support reading the user-space
data directly without copying (except that the Crypto API itself
may copy the data if alignment is off).
For now only the splice(2) interface supports performing digest
instead of init/update/final. In future the sendmsg(2) interface
will also be modified to use digest/finup where possible so that
hardware that cannot return a partial hash state can still benefit
from this interface.
Thakns to Miloslav Trmac for reviewing this and contributing
fixes and improvements.
