Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25c ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.

Pull CRC updates from Eric Biggers:
- Reorganize the architecture-optimized CRC32 and CRC-T10DIF code to be
directly accessible via the library API, instead of requiring the
crypto API. This is much simpler and more efficient.
- Convert some users such as ext4 to use the CRC32 library API instead
of the crypto API. More conversions like this will come later.
- Add a KUnit test that tests and benchmarks multiple CRC variants.
Remove older, less-comprehensive tests that are made redundant by
this.
- Add an entry to MAINTAINERS for the kernel's CRC library code. I'm
volunteering to maintain it. I have additional cleanups and
optimizations planned for future cycles.

Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
"Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns:
1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never
execute relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled
by smpboot code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations.
Affinity here is a correctness constraint.
2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and
can't run anywhere else. The affinity is set through
kthread_bind_mask() and the subsystem takes care by itself to
handle CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a
correctness constraint.
3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node.
This is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in
terms of memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this
category. The affinity is set manually like for any other task and
CPU-hotplug is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so
that the task is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the
node comes up. Also care should be taken so that the node affinity
doesn't cross isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.
4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
from a distinctly distributed tree.
Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its
own ad-hoc way.
This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following
API changes:
- kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread
to its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.
- kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called
right after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred
affinity different than the specified node.
When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine to
the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the time
or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).
kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
converted, along with a few old drivers.
Summary of the changes:
- Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of
kthread_run_on_cpu()
- Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware
- Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always
called before the first kthread wake up.
- Default affine kthread to its preferred node.
- Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
affinity implementation
- Implement kthreads preferred affinity
- Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style
- Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
implementation"

The helper functions like crypto_skcipher_blocksize() take in a pointer
to a tfm object, but they actually return properties of the algorithm.
As the Linux kernel is compiled with -fno-strict-aliasing, the compiler
has to assume that the writes to struct skcipher_walk could clobber the
tfm's pointer to its algorithm. Thus it gets repeatedly reloaded in the
generated code. Therefore, replace the use of these helper functions
with staightforward accesses to the struct fields.
Note that while *users* of the skcipher and aead APIs are supposed to
use the helper functions, this particular code is part of the API
*implementation* in crypto/skcipher.c, which already accesses the
algorithm struct directly in many cases. So there is no reason to
prefer the helper functions here.

- Initialize SKCIPHER_WALK_SLEEP in a consistent way, and check for
atomic=true at the same time as CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP. Technically
atomic=true only needs to apply after the first step, but it is very
rarely used. We should optimize for the common case. So, check
'atomic' alongside CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP. This is more efficient.
- Initialize flags other than SKCIPHER_WALK_SLEEP to 0 rather than
preserving them. No caller actually initializes the flags, which
makes it impossible to use their original values for anything.
Indeed, that does not happen and all meaningful flags get overridden
anyway. It may have been thought that just clearing one flag would be
faster than clearing all flags, but that's not the case as the former
is a read-write operation whereas the latter is just a write.
- Move the explicit clearing of SKCIPHER_WALK_SLOW, SKCIPHER_WALK_COPY,
and SKCIPHER_WALK_DIFF into skcipher_walk_done(), since it is now
only needed on non-first steps.

In the case where skcipher_walk_next() allocates a bounce page, that
page by definition has size PAGE_SIZE. The number of bytes to copy 'n'
is guaranteed to fit in it, since earlier in the function it was clamped
to be at most a page. Therefore remove the unnecessary logic that tried
to clamp 'n' again to fit in the bounce page.

In the slow path of skcipher_walk where it uses a slab bounce buffer for
the data and/or IV, do not bother to avoid crossing a page boundary in
the part(s) of this buffer that are used, and do not bother to allocate
extra space in the buffer for that purpose. The buffer is accessed only
by virtual address, so pages are irrelevant for it.
This logic may have been present due to the physical address support in
skcipher_walk, but that has now been removed. Or it may have been
present to be consistent with the fast path that currently does not hand
back addresses that span pages, but that behavior is a side effect of
the pages being "mapped" one by one and is not actually a requirement.

kthread_create() creates a kthread without running it yet. kthread_run()
creates a kthread and runs it.
On the other hand, kthread_create_worker() creates a kthread worker and
runs it.
This difference in behaviours is confusing. Also there is no way to
create a kthread worker and affine it using kthread_bind_mask() or
kthread_affine_preferred() before starting it.
Consolidate the behaviours and introduce kthread_run_worker[_on_cpu]()
that behaves just like kthread_run(). kthread_create_worker[_on_cpu]()
will now only create a kthread worker without starting it.

The keywrap (kw) algorithm has no in-tree user. It has never had an
in-tree user, and the patch that added it provided no justification for
its inclusion. Even use of it via AF_ALG is impossible, as it uses a
weird calling convention where part of the ciphertext is returned via
the IV buffer, which is not returned to userspace in AF_ALG.
It's also unclear whether any new code in the kernel that does key
wrapping would actually use this algorithm. It is controversial in the
cryptographic community due to having no clearly stated security goal,
no security proof, poor performance, and only a 64-bit auth tag. Later
work (https://eprint.iacr.org/2006/221) suggested that the goal is
deterministic authenticated encryption. But there are now more modern
algorithms for this, and this is not the same as key wrapping, for which
a regular AEAD such as AES-GCM usually can be (and is) used instead.
Therefore, remove this unused code.
There were several special cases for this algorithm in the self-tests,
due to its weird calling convention. Remove those too.

Remove the vmac64 template, as it has no known users. It also continues
to have longstanding bugs such as alignment violations (see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241226134847.6690-1-evepolonium@gmail.com/).
This code was added in 2009 by commit f1939f7c56 ("crypto: vmac - New
hash algorithm for intel_txt support"). Based on the mention of
intel_txt support in the commit title, it seems it was added as a
prerequisite for the contemporaneous patch
"intel_txt: add s3 userspace memory integrity verification"
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/4ABF2B50.6070106@intel.com/). In the design
proposed by that patch, when an Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT)
enabled system resumed from suspend, the "tboot" trusted executable
launched the Linux kernel without verifying userspace memory, and then
the Linux kernel used VMAC to verify userspace memory.
However, that patch was never merged, as reviewers had objected to the
design. It was later reworked into commit 4bd96a7a81 ("x86, tboot:
Add support for S3 memory integrity protection") which made tboot verify
the memory instead. Thus the VMAC support in Linux was never used.
No in-tree user has appeared since then, other than potentially the
usual components that allow specifying arbitrary hash algorithms by
name, namely AF_ALG and dm-integrity. However there are no indications
that VMAC is being used with these components. Debian Code Search and
web searches for "vmac64" (the actual algorithm name) do not return any
results other than the kernel itself, suggesting that it does not appear
in any other code or documentation. Explicitly grepping the source code
of the usual suspects (libell, iwd, cryptsetup) finds no matches either.
Before 2018, the vmac code was also completely broken due to using a
hardcoded nonce and the wrong endianness for the MAC. It was then fixed
by commit ed331adab3 ("crypto: vmac - add nonced version with big
endian digest") and commit 0917b87312 ("crypto: vmac - remove insecure
version with hardcoded nonce"). These were intentionally breaking
changes that changed all the computed MAC values as well as the
algorithm name ("vmac" to "vmac64"). No complaints were ever received
about these breaking changes, strongly suggesting the absence of users.
The reason I had put some effort into fixing this code in 2018 is
because it was used by an out-of-tree driver. But if it is still needed
in that particular out-of-tree driver, the code can be carried in that
driver instead. There is no need to carry it upstream.
