Remove support for the "Crypto usage statistics" feature
(CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS). This feature does not appear to have ever been
used, and it is harmful because it significantly reduces performance and
is a large maintenance burden.
Covering each of these points in detail:
1. Feature is not being used
Since these generic crypto statistics are only readable using netlink,
it's fairly straightforward to look for programs that use them. I'm
unable to find any evidence that any such programs exist. For example,
Debian Code Search returns no hits except the kernel header and kernel
code itself and translations of the kernel header:
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=CRYPTOCFGA_STAT&literal=1&perpkg=1
The patch series that added this feature in 2018
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/1537351855-16618-1-git-send-email-clabbe@baylibre.com/)
said "The goal is to have an ifconfig for crypto device." This doesn't
appear to have happened.
It's not clear that there is real demand for crypto statistics. Just
because the kernel provides other types of statistics such as I/O and
networking statistics and some people find those useful does not mean
that crypto statistics are useful too.
Further evidence that programs are not using CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is that
it was able to be disabled in RHEL and Fedora as a bug fix
(https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-9/-/merge_requests/2947).
Even further evidence comes from the fact that there are and have been
bugs in how the stats work, but they were never reported. For example,
before Linux v6.7 hash stats were double-counted in most cases.
There has also never been any documentation for this feature, so it
might be hard to use even if someone wanted to.
2. CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS significantly reduces performance
Enabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS significantly reduces the performance of
the crypto API, even if no program ever retrieves the statistics. This
primarily affects systems with large number of CPUs. For example,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2039576 reported
that Lustre client encryption performance improved from 21.7GB/s to
48.2GB/s by disabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS.
It can be argued that this means that CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS should be
optimized with per-cpu counters similar to many of the networking
counters. But no one has done this in 5+ years. This is consistent
with the fact that the feature appears to be unused, so there seems to
be little interest in improving it as opposed to just disabling it.
It can be argued that because CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is off by default,
performance doesn't matter. But Linux distros tend to error on the side
of enabling options. The option is enabled in Ubuntu and Arch Linux,
and until recently was enabled in RHEL and Fedora (see above). So, even
just having the option available is harmful to users.
3. CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is a large maintenance burden
There are over 1000 lines of code associated with CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS,
spread among 32 files. It significantly complicates much of the
implementation of the crypto API. After the initial submission, many
fixes and refactorings have consumed effort of multiple people to keep
this feature "working". We should be spending this effort elsewhere.

The function dh_is_pubkey_valid was added to for FIPS but it was
only partially conditional to fips_enabled.
In particular, the first test in the function relies on the last
test to work properly, but the last test is only run in FIPS mode.
Fix this inconsistency by making the whole function conditional
on fips_enabled.

SP 800-56Br2, Section 7.1.1 [1] specifies that:
1. If m does not satisfy 1 < m < (n – 1), output an indication that m is
out of range, and exit without further processing.
Similarly, Section 7.1.2 of the same standard specifies that:
1. If the ciphertext c does not satisfy 1 < c < (n – 1), output an
indication that the ciphertext is out of range, and exit without further
processing.
This range is slightly more conservative than RFC3447, as it also
excludes RSA fixed points 0, 1, and n - 1.

This patch registers the deflate-iaa deflate compression algorithm and
hooks it up to the IAA hardware using the 'fixed' compression mode
introduced in the previous patch.
Because the IAA hardware has a 4k history-window limitation, only
buffers <= 4k, or that have been compressed using a <= 4k history
window, are technically compliant with the deflate spec, which allows
for a window of up to 32k. Because of this limitation, the IAA fixed
mode deflate algorithm is given its own algorithm name, 'deflate-iaa'.
With this change, the deflate-iaa crypto algorithm is registered and
operational, and compression and decompression operations are fully
enabled following the successful binding of the first IAA workqueue
to the iaa_crypto sub-driver.
when there are no IAA workqueues bound to the driver, the IAA crypto
algorithm can be unregistered by removing the module.
A new iaa_crypto 'verify_compress' driver attribute is also added,
allowing the user to toggle compression verification. If set, each
compress will be internally decompressed and the contents verified,
returning error codes if unsuccessful. This can be toggled with 0/1:
echo 0 > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/verify_compress
The default setting is '1' - verify all compresses.
The verify_compress value setting at the time the algorithm is
registered is captured in the algorithm's crypto_ctx and used for all
compresses when using the algorithm.

Unlike algif_aead which is always issued in one go (thus limiting
the maximum size of the request), algif_skcipher has always allowed
unlimited input data by cutting them up as necessary and feeding
the fragments to the underlying algorithm one at a time.
However, because of deficiencies in the API, this has been broken
for most stream ciphers such as arc4 or chacha. This is because
they have an internal state in addition to the IV that must be
preserved in order to continue processing.
Fix this by using the new skcipher state API.

The arc4 algorithm has always had internal state. It's been buggy
from day one in that the state has been stored in the shared tfm
object. That means two users sharing the same tfm will end up
affecting each other's output, or worse, they may end up with the
same output.
Fix this by declaring an internal state and storing the state there
instead of within the tfm context.

This patch adds code to the skcipher/lskcipher API to make use
of the internal state if present. In particular, the skcipher
lskcipher wrapper will allocate a buffer for the IV/state and
feed that to the underlying lskcipher algorithm.
Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Unlike chaining modes such as CBC, stream ciphers other than CTR
usually hold an internal state that must be preserved if the
operation is to be done piecemeal. This has not been represented
in the API, resulting in the inability to split up stream cipher
operations.
This patch adds the basic representation of an internal state to
skcipher and lskcipher. In the interest of backwards compatibility,
the default has been set such that existing users are assumed to
be operating in one go as opposed to piecemeal.
With the new API, each lskcipher/skcipher algorithm has a new
attribute called statesize. For skcipher, this is the size of
the buffer that can be exported or imported similar to ahash.
For lskcipher, instead of providing a buffer of ivsize, the user
now has to provide a buffer of ivsize + statesize.
Each skcipher operation is assumed to be final as they are now,
but this may be overridden with a request flag. When the override
occurs, the user may then export the partial state and reimport
it later.
For lskcipher operations this is reversed. All operations are
not final and the state will be exported unless the FINAL bit is
set. However, the CONT bit still has to be set for the state
to be used.

Having multiple in-flight AIO requests results in unpredictable

drbg supports multiple types of drbg, and multiple parameters of

can enable all three types of drbg. And instead of checking the most
preferred algorithm (last one wins), it is currently checking first
one instead.
Update ifdef to ensure that healthcheck prefers HMAC, over HASH, over
CTR, last one wins, like all other code and functions.
