crypto: doc - cipher data structures 

The data structure of struct crypto_alg together with various other
data structures needed by cipher developers is documented wit all
parameters that can be set by a developer of a transformation. All
parameters that are internal to the crypto API are marked as such.

* @setkey: Set key for the transformation. This function is used to either
* program a supplied key into the hardware or store the key in the
* transformation context for programming it later. Note that this
* function does modify the transformation context. This function can
* be called multiple times during the existence of the transformation
* object, so one must make sure the key is properly reprogrammed into
* the hardware. This function is also responsible for checking the key
* length for validity. In case a software fallback was put in place in
* the @cra_init call, this function might need to use the fallback if
* the algorithm doesn't support all of the key sizes.
* @encrypt: Encrypt a scatterlist of blocks. This function is used to encrypt
* the supplied scatterlist containing the blocks of data. The crypto
* API consumer is responsible for aligning the entries of the
* scatterlist properly and making sure the chunks are correctly
* sized. In case a software fallback was put in place in the
* @cra_init call, this function might need to use the fallback if
* the algorithm doesn't support all of the key sizes. In case the
* key was stored in transformation context, the key might need to be
* re-programmed into the hardware in this function. This function
* shall not modify the transformation context, as this function may
* be called in parallel with the same transformation object.
* @decrypt: Decrypt a single block. This is a reverse counterpart to @encrypt
* and the conditions are exactly the same.
* @givencrypt: Update the IV for encryption. With this function, a cipher
* implementation may provide the function on how to update the IV
* for encryption.
* @givdecrypt: Update the IV for decryption. This is the reverse of
* @givencrypt .
* @geniv: The transformation implementation may use an "IV generator" provided
* by the kernel crypto API. Several use cases have a predefined
* approach how IVs are to be updated. For such use cases, the kernel
* crypto API provides ready-to-use implementations that can be
* referenced with this variable.
* @ivsize: IV size applicable for transformation. The consumer must provide an
* IV of exactly that size to perform the encrypt or decrypt operation.
*
* All fields except @givencrypt , @givdecrypt , @geniv and @ivsize are
* mandatory and must be filled.

* In case either of the input or output buffer supplied by user
* of the crypto API is not aligned to @cra_alignmask, the crypto
* API will re-align the buffers. The re-alignment means that a
* new buffer will be allocated, the data will be copied into the
* new buffer, then the processing will happen on the new buffer,
* then the data will be copied back into the original buffer and

* algorithm.
* @cra_blocksize: Minimum block size of this transformation. The size in bytes
* of the smallest possible unit which can be transformed with
* this algorithm. The users must respect this value.
* In case of HASH transformation, it is possible for a smaller
* block than @cra_blocksize to be passed to the crypto API for
* transformation, in case of any other transformation type, an
* error will be returned upon any attempt to transform smaller
* than @cra_blocksize chunks.
* @cra_ctxsize: Size of the operational context of the transformation. This
* value informs the kernel crypto API about the memory size
* needed to be allocated for the transformation context.
* @cra_alignmask: Alignment mask for the input and output data buffer. The data
* buffer containing the input data for the algorithm must be
* aligned to this alignment mask. The data buffer for the
* output data must be aligned to this alignment mask. Note that
* the Crypto API will do the re-alignment in software, but
* only under special conditions and there is a performance hit.
* The re-alignment happens at these occasions for different
* @cra_u types: cipher -- For both input data and output data
* buffer; ahash -- For output hash destination buf; shash --
* For output hash destination buf.
* This is needed on hardware which is flawed by design and
* cannot pick data from arbitrary addresses.
* @cra_priority: Priority of this transformation implementation. In case
* multiple transformations with same @cra_name are available to
* the Crypto API, the kernel will use the one with highest
* @cra_priority.
* @cra_name: Generic name (usable by multiple implementations) of the
* transformation algorithm. This is the name of the transformation
* itself. This field is used by the kernel when looking up the
* providers of particular transformation.
* @cra_driver_name: Unique name of the transformation provider. This is the
* name of the provider of the transformation. This can be any
* arbitrary value, but in the usual case, this contains the
* name of the chip or provider and the name of the
* transformation algorithm.
* @cra_type: Type of the cryptographic transformation. This is a pointer to
* struct crypto_type, which implements callbacks common for all
* trasnformation types. There are multiple options:
* &crypto_blkcipher_type, &crypto_ablkcipher_type,
* &crypto_ahash_type, &crypto_aead_type, &crypto_rng_type.
* This field might be empty. In that case, there are no common
* callbacks. This is the case for: cipher, compress, shash.
* @cra_u: Callbacks implementing the transformation. This is a union of
* multiple structures. Depending on the type of transformation selected
* by @cra_type and @cra_flags above, the associated structure must be
* filled with callbacks. This field might be empty. This is the case
* for ahash, shash.
* @cra_init: Initialize the cryptographic transformation object. This function
* is used to initialize the cryptographic transformation object.
* This function is called only once at the instantiation time, right
* after the transformation context was allocated. In case the
* cryptographic hardware has some special requirements which need to
* be handled by software, this function shall check for the precise
* requirement of the transformation and put any software fallbacks
* in place.
* @cra_exit: Deinitialize the cryptographic transformation object. This is a
* counterpart to @cra_init, used to remove various changes set in
* @cra_init.
* @cra_module: Owner of this transformation implementation. Set to THIS_MODULE
* @cra_list: internally used
* @cra_users: internally used
* @cra_refcnt: internally used
* @cra_destroy: internally used
*
* The struct crypto_alg describes a generic Crypto API algorithm and is common
* for all of the transformations. Any variable not documented here shall not
* be used by a cipher implementation as it is internal to the Crypto API.
