Daniel Borkmann 7185ad2672 crypto: memzero_explicit - make sure to clear out sensitive data
Recently, in commit 13aa93c70e71 ("random: add and use memzero_explicit()
for clearing data"), we have found that GCC may optimize some memset()
cases away when it detects a stack variable is not being used anymore
and going out of scope. This can happen, for example, in cases when we
are clearing out sensitive information such as keying material or any
e.g. intermediate results from crypto computations, etc.

With the help of Coccinelle, we can figure out and fix such occurences
in the crypto subsytem as well. Julia Lawall provided the following
Coccinelle program:

  @@
  type T;
  identifier x;
  @@

  T x;
  ... when exists
      when any
  -memset
  +memzero_explicit
     (&x,
  -0,
     ...)
  ... when != x
      when strict

  @@
  type T;
  identifier x;
  @@

  T x[...];
  ... when exists
      when any
  -memset
  +memzero_explicit
     (x,
  -0,
     ...)
  ... when != x
      when strict

Therefore, make use of the drop-in replacement memzero_explicit() for
exactly such cases instead of using memset().

Jussi Kivilinna f4b0277e7e crypto: whirlpool - use crypto_[un]register_shashes
Combine all shash algs to be registered and use new crypto_[un]register_shashes
functions. This simplifies init/exit code.

Thanks for the suggestion, the init() is replaced with

	<algorithm name>_mod_init ()

and fini () is replaced with <algorithm name>_mod_fini.

Adrian Bunk 87ae9afdca cleanup asm/scatterlist.h includes
Not architecture specific code should not #include <asm/scatterlist.h>.

This patch therefore either replaces them with
#include <linux/scatterlist.h> or simply removes them if they were
unused.

Herbert Xu 6c2bb98bc3 [CRYPTO] all: Pass tfm instead of ctx to algorithms
Up until now algorithms have been happy to get a context pointer since
they know everything that's in the tfm already (e.g., alignment, block
size).

However, once we have parameterised algorithms, such information will
be specific to each tfm.  So the algorithm API needs to be changed to
pass the tfm structure instead of the context pointer.

This patch is basically a text substitution.  The only tricky bit is
the assembly routines that need to get the context pointer offset
through asm-offsets.h.

Herbert Xu 06ace7a9ba [CRYPTO] Use standard byte order macros wherever possible
A lot of crypto code needs to read/write a 32-bit/64-bit words in a
specific gender.  Many of them open code them by reading/writing one
byte at a time.  This patch converts all the applicable usages over
to use the standard byte order macros.

This is based on a previous patch by Denis Vlasenko.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
