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().

Export the update function as crypto_sha1_update() to not have the need
to reimplement the same algorithm for each SHA-1 implementation. This
way the generic SHA-1 implementation can be used as fallback for other
implementations that fail to run under certain circumstances, like the
need for an FPU context while executing in IRQ context.

This patch adds export/import support to sha1_generic. The exported
type is defined by struct sha1_state, which is basically the entire
descriptor state of sha1_generic.

Thanks for the suggestion, the init() is replaced with
<algorithm name>_mod_init ()
and fini () is replaced with <algorithm name>_mod_fini.

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.

There are currently several SHA implementations that all define their own
initialization vectors and size values. Since this values are idential
move them to a header file under include/crypto.

Loading the crypto algorithm by the alias instead of by module directly
has the advantage that all possible implementations of this algorithm
are loaded automatically and the crypto API can choose the best one
depending on its priority.
Additionally it ensures that the generic implementation as well as the
HW driver (if available) is loaded in case the HW driver needs the
generic version as fallback in corner cases.
Also remove the probe for sha1 in padlock's init code.
Quote from Herbert:
The probe is actually pointless since we can always probe when
the algorithm is actually used which does not lead to dead-locks
like this.
