The CTR DRBG requires two SGLs pointing to input/output buffers for the
CTR AES operation. The used SGLs always have only one entry. Thus, the
SGL can be initialized during allocation time, preventing a
re-initialization of the SGLs during each call.
The performance is increased by about 1 to 3 percent depending on the
size of the requested buffer size.

During freeing of the internal buffers used by the DRBG, set the pointer
to NULL. It is possible that the context with the freed buffers is
reused. In case of an error during initialization where the pointers
do not yet point to allocated memory, the NULL value prevents a double
free.

DRBG is starting an async. crypto op and waiting for it complete.
Move it over to generic code doing the same.
The code now also passes CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP flag indicating
crypto request memory allocation may use GFP_KERNEL which should
be perfectly fine as the code is obviously sleeping for the
completion of the request any way.

During the change to use aligned buffers, the deallocation code path was
not updated correctly. The current code tries to free the aligned buffer
pointer and not the original buffer pointer as it is supposed to.
Thus, the code is updated to free the original buffer pointer and set
the aligned buffer pointer that is used throughout the code to NULL.

drbg_kcapi_sym_ctr() was using wait_for_completion_interruptible() to
wait for completion of async crypto op but if a signal occurs it
may return before DMA ops of HW crypto provider finish, thus
corrupting the output buffer.
Resolve this by using wait_for_completion() instead.

When using SGs, only heap memory (memory that is valid as per
virt_addr_valid) is allowed to be referenced. The CTR DRBG used to
reference the caller-provided memory directly in an SG. In case the
caller provided stack memory pointers, the SG mapping is not considered
to be valid. In some cases, this would even cause a paging fault.
The change adds a new scratch buffer that is used unconditionally to
catch the cases where the caller-provided buffer is not suitable for
use in an SG. The crypto operation of the CTR DRBG produces its output
with that scratch buffer and finally copies the content of the
scratch buffer to the caller's buffer.
The scratch buffer is allocated during allocation time of the CTR DRBG
as its access is protected with the DRBG mutex.

The CTR DRBG segments the number of random bytes to be generated into
128 byte blocks. The current code misses the advancement of the output
buffer pointer when the requestor asks for more than 128 bytes of data.
In this case, the next 128 byte block of random numbers is copied to
the beginning of the output buffer again. This implies that only the
first 128 bytes of the output buffer would ever be filled.
The patch adds the advancement of the buffer pointer to fill the entire
buffer.

When calling the DRBG health test in FIPS mode, the Jitter RNG is not
yet present in the kernel crypto API which will cause the instantiation
to fail and thus the health test to fail.
As the health tests cover the enforcement of various thresholds, invoke
the functions that are supposed to enforce the thresholds directly.
This patch also saves precious seed.

The CTR DRBG derives its random data from the CTR that is encrypted with
AES.
This patch now changes the CTR DRBG implementation such that the
CTR AES mode is employed. This allows the use of steamlined CTR AES
implementation such as ctr-aes-aesni.
Unfortunately there are the following subtile changes we need to apply
when using the CTR AES mode:
- the CTR mode increments the counter after the cipher operation, but
the CTR DRBG requires the increment before the cipher op. Hence, the
crypto_inc is applied to the counter (drbg->V) once it is
recalculated.
- the CTR mode wants to encrypt data, but the CTR DRBG is interested in
the encrypted counter only. The full CTR mode is the XOR of the
encrypted counter with the plaintext data. To access the encrypted
counter, the patch uses a NULL data vector as plaintext to be
"encrypted".

As required by SP800-90A, the DRBG implements are reseeding threshold.
This threshold is at 2**48 (64 bit) and 2**32 bit (32 bit) as
implemented in drbg_max_requests.
With the recently introduced changes, the DRBG is now always used as a
stdrng which is initialized very early in the boot cycle. To ensure that
sufficient entropy is present, the Jitter RNG is added to even provide
entropy at early boot time.
However, the 2nd seed source, the nonblocking pool, is usually
degraded at that time. Therefore, the DRBG is seeded with the Jitter RNG
(which I believe contains good entropy, which however is questioned by
others) and is seeded with a degradded nonblocking pool. This seed is
now used for quasi the lifetime of the system (2**48 requests is a lot).
The patch now changes the reseed threshold as follows: up until the time
the DRBG obtains a seed from a fully iniitialized nonblocking pool, the
reseeding threshold is lowered such that the DRBG is forced to reseed
itself resonably often. Once it obtains the seed from a fully
initialized nonblocking pool, the reseed threshold is set to the value
required by SP800-90A.
