This patch replaces the custom xor in CBC with the generic crypto_xor.
It changes the operations for in-place encryption slightly to avoid
calling crypto_xor with tmpbuf since it is not necessarily aligned.

All common block ciphers have a block size that's a power of 2. In fact,
all of our block ciphers obey this rule.
If we require this then CBC can be optimised to avoid an expensive divide
on in-place decryption.
I've also changed the saving of the first IV in the in-place decryption
case to the last IV because that lets us use walk->iv (which is already
aligned) for the xor operation where alignment is required.

With the addition of more stream ciphers we need to curb the proliferation
of ad-hoc xor functions. This patch creates a generic pair of functions,
crypto_inc and crypto_xor which does big-endian increment and exclusive or,
respectively.
For optimum performance, they both use u32 operations so alignment must be
as that of u32 even though the arguments are of type u8 *.

The current PLL initalization has a number of deficiencies:
- uses fixed multiplier of 8, which overclocks the chip when using a
reference clock that operates at frequencies above 33MHz. According
to a comment in the BSD source, this is true for the external clock
on almost all every board.
- writes to a reserved bit
- doesn't follow the initialization procedure specified in chapter
6.11.1 of the HIFN hardware users guide
- doesn't allow to use the PCI clock
This patch adds a module parameter to specify the reference clock
(pci or external) and its frequency and uses that to calculate the
optimum multiplier to reach the maximal speed. By default it uses
the external clock and assumes a speed of 66MHz, which effectively
halfs the frequency currently used.

Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as
type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set. This is suboptimal because
ablkcipher refers to two things. On the one hand it refers to the
top-level ablkcipher interface with requests. On the other hand it
refers to and algorithm type underneath.
As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm
with the ablkcipher interface on top. This is a problem because
we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level
interface.
This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as
we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST. The type it associated
with the algorithm implementation only.
Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is
then determined by the mask that's used. If it's a specific mask
then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the
new ablkcipher interface.

This patch adds countersize to CTR mode.
The template is now ctr(algo,noncesize,ivsize,countersize).
For example, ctr(aes,4,8,4) indicates the counterblock
will be composed of a salt/nonce that is 4 bytes, an iv
that is 8 bytes and the counter is 4 bytes.
When noncesize + ivsize < blocksize, CTR initializes the
last block - ivsize - noncesize portion of the block to
zero. Otherwise the counter block is composed of the IV
(and nonce if necessary).
If noncesize + ivsize == blocksize, then this indicates that
user is passing in entire counterblock. Thus countersize
indicates the amount of bytes in counterblock to use as
the counter for incrementing. CTR will increment counter
portion by 1, and begin encryption with that value.
Note that CTR assumes the counter portion of the block that
will be incremented is stored in big endian.

This patch implements CTR mode for IPsec.
It is based off of RFC 3686.
Please note:
1. CTR turns a block cipher into a stream cipher.
Encryption is done in blocks, however the last block
may be a partial block.
A "counter block" is encrypted, creating a keystream
that is xor'ed with the plaintext. The counter portion
of the counter block is incremented after each block
of plaintext is encrypted.
Decryption is performed in same manner.
2. The CTR counterblock is composed of,
nonce + IV + counter
The size of the counterblock is equivalent to the
blocksize of the cipher.
sizeof(nonce) + sizeof(IV) + sizeof(counter) = blocksize
The CTR template requires the name of the cipher
algorithm, the sizeof the nonce, and the sizeof the iv.
ctr(cipher,sizeof_nonce,sizeof_iv)
So for example,
ctr(aes,4,8)
specifies the counterblock will be composed of 4 bytes
from a nonce, 8 bytes from the iv, and 4 bytes for counter
since aes has a blocksize of 16 bytes.
3. The counter portion of the counter block is stored
in big endian for conformance to rfc 3686.

./. | 32bit | 64bit
ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit
The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
precedence over the configuration.
So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will
be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
other way around.
This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
suprises here.
make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit

Attempt to fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8378
Hiroto Shibuya wrote to tell me that he has a VIA EPIA-EK10000 which
suffers from the reboot problem when no keyboard is attached. My first
patch works for him:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538

We found that it was necessary to also set the "disable keyboard" flag in
the command byte, as the first patch was doing. The second patch tries to
minimally modify the command byte, but it is not enough.
Please consider this simple one-line patch to help people with low end VIA
motherboards reboot when no keyboard is attached. Hiroto Shibuya has
verified that this works for him (as I no longer have an afflicted
machine).
Additional discussion:
Note that original patch from Truxton DOES
disable keyboard and this has been in main tree since 2.6.14, thus it must have
quite a bit of air time already.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.14.y.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538
Note that he only mention "System flag" in the description and comment, but
in the code, "disable keyboard" flag is set.
outb(0x14, 0x60); /* set "System flag" */
In 2.6.23, he made a change to read the current byte and then mask the flags,
but along this change, he only set the "System flag" and dropped the setting
of "disable keyboard" flag.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.23.y.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51
outb(cmd | 0x04, 0x60); /* set "System flag" */
So my request is to restore the setting of disable keyboard flag which has been
there since 2.6.14 but disappeared in 2.6.23.

Some BIOSes advertise HPET at 0x0. We really do no want to
allocate a resource there. Check for it and leave early.
Other BIOSes tell us the HPET is at 0xfed0000000000000
instead of 0xfed00000. Add a check and fix it up with a warning
on user request.

Correct potentially unstable PC RTC time register reading in time_64.c
Stop the use of an incorrect technique for reading the standard PC RTC
timer, which is documented to "disconnect" time registers from the bus
while updates are in progress. The use of UIP flag while interrupts
are disabled to protect a 244 microsecond window is one of the
Motorola spec sheet's documented ways to read the RTC time registers
reliably.
tglx: removed locking changes from original patch, as they gain nothing
(read_persistent_clock is only called during boot, suspend, resume - so
no hot path affected) and conflict with the paravirt locking scheme
(see 32bit code), which we do not want to complicate for no benefit.

Fix hard freeze on x86_64 when the ntpd service calls
update_persistent_clock()
A repeatable but randomly timed freeze has been happening in Fedora 6
and 7 for the last year, whenever I run the ntpd service on my AMD64x2
HP Pavilion dv9000z laptop. This freeze is due to the use of
spin_lock(&rtc_lock) under the assumption (per a bad comment) that
set_rtc_mmss is called only with interrupts disabled. The call from
ntp.c to update_persistent_clock is made with interrupts enabled.

Fix a typo in ntp.c that has caused updating of the persistent (RTC)
clock when synced to NTP to behave erratically.
When debugging a freeze that arises on my AMD64 machines when I
run the ntpd service, I added a number of printk's to monitor the
sync_cmos_clock procedure. I discovered that it was not syncing to
cmos RTC every 11 minutes as documented, but instead would keep trying
every second for hours at a time. The reason turned out to be a typo
in sync_cmos_clock, where it attempts to ensure that
update_persistent_clock is called very close to 500 msec. after a 1
second boundary (required by the PC RTC's spec). That typo referred to
"xtime" in one spot, rather than "now", which is derived from "xtime"
but not equal to it. This makes the test erratic, creating a
"coin-flip" that decides when update_persistent_clock is called - when
it is called, which is rarely, it may be at any time during the one
second period, rather than close to 500 msec, so the value written is
needlessly incorrect, too.
