Without support for zero-copy or off-CPU offloads, AF_ALG is always
slower than software cryptography. Its only advantage is that it might
save code size. However, this is largely mitigated by lightweight
userspace cryptographic libraries.

AF_ALG is deprecated and exposed to unprivileged userspace. Only
use the least buggy algorithm implementations: the pure software ones.
This removes one of the main advantages of AF_ALG, which is the
ability to use it with off-CPU accelerators. However, using off-CPU
accelerators has huge overheads, both in performance and attack surface.
I have yet to see real-world, performance-critical workloads where using
an accelerator via AF_ALG is actually a win over doing cryptography in
userspace.
If using an off-CPU accelerator really does turn out to be a win, a new
API should be developed that is actually a good fit for it.

The zero-copy support is one of the riskiest aspects of AF_ALG. It
allows userspace to request cryptographic operations directly on
pagecache pages of files like the 'su' binary. It also allows userspace
to concurrently modify the memory which is being operated on, a recipe
for TOCTOU vulnerabilities.
While zero-copy support is more valuable in other areas of the kernel
like the frequently used networking and file I/O code, it has far less
value in AF_ALG, which is a niche UAPI. AF_ALG primarily just exists
for backwards compatibility with a small set of userspace programs such
as 'iwd' that haven't yet been fixed to use userspace crypto code.
Originally AF_ALG was intended to be used to access hardware crypto
accelerators. However, it isn't an efficient interface for that anyway,
and it turned out to be rarely used in this way in practice.
Thus, the risks of the zero-copy support in AF_ALG vastly outweigh its
benefits. Let's just remove it.
This commit removes it from the "skcipher" and "aead" algorithm types.
"hash" will be handled separately.
This is a soft break, not a hard break. Even after this commit, it
still works to use splice() or sendfile() to transfer data to an AF_ALG
request socket from a pipe or any file, respectively. What changes is
just that the kernel now makes an internal, stable copy of the data
before doing the crypto operation. So performance is slightly reduced,
but the UAPI isn't broken. And, very importantly, it's much safer.
Tested with libkcapi/test.sh. All its test cases still pass. I also
verified that this would have prevented the copy.fail exploit as well.
I also used a custom test program to verify that sendfile() still works.

AF_ALG is almost completely unnecessary, and it exposes a massive attack
surface that hasn't been standing up to modern vulnerability discovery
tools. The latest one even has its own website, providing a small
Python script that reliably roots most Linux distros: https://copy.fail/
This isn't sustainable, especially as LLMs have accelerated the rate the
vulnerabilities are coming in. The effort that is being put into this
thing is vastly disproportional to the few programs that actually use
it, and those programs would be better served by userspace code anyway.
These issues have been noted in many mailing list discussions already.
But until now they haven't been reflected in the documentation or
kconfig menu itself, and the vulnerabilities are still coming in.
Let's go ahead and document the deprecation.
This isn't intended to change anything overnight. After all, most Linux
distros won't be able to disable the kconfig options quite yet, mainly
because of iwd. But this should create a bit more impetus for these
userspace programs to be fixed, and the documentation update should also
help prevent more users from appearing.

Remove the support for HASH_DRBG. It's likely unused code, seeing as
HMAC_DRBG is always enabled and prioritized over it unless
NETLINK_CRYPTO is used to change the algorithm priorities.
There's also no compelling reason to support more than one of
[HMAC_DRBG, HASH_DRBG, CTR_DRBG]. By definition, callers cannot tell
any difference in their outputs. And all are FIPS-certifiable, which is
the only point of the kernel's NIST DRBGs anyway.
Switching to HASH_DRBG doesn't seem all that compelling, either. For
one, it's more complex than HMAC_DRBG.
Thus, let's just drop HASH_DRBG support and focus on HMAC_DRBG.

Note that the intent is very much *not* that everyone has to read these
Documentation/ files. The library is intended to be straightforward and
use familiar conventions; generally it should be possible to dive right
into the kernel-doc. You shouldn't need to read a lot of documentation
to just call `sha256()`, for example, or to run the unit tests if you're
already familiar with KUnit. (This differs from the traditional crypto
API which has a larger barrier to entry.)
Nevertheless, this seems worth adding. Hopefully it is useful and makes
LWN no longer consider the library to be "meticulously undocumented".

Remove ansi_cprng, since it's obsolete and unused, as confirmed at
https://lore.kernel.org/r/aQxpnckYMgAAOLpZ@gondor.apana.org.au/
This was originally added in 2008, apparently as a FIPS approved random
number generator. Whether this has ever belonged upstream is
questionable. Either way, ansi_cprng is no longer usable for this
purpose, since it's been superseded by the more modern algorithms in
crypto/drbg.c, and FIPS itself no longer allows it. (NIST SP 800-131A
Rev 1 (2015) says that RNGs based on ANSI X9.31 will be disallowed after
2015. NIST SP 800-131A Rev 2 (2019) confirms they are now disallowed.)
Therefore, there is no reason to keep it around.

software_key_query() returns the maximum signature and digest size for a
given key to user space. When it only supported RSA keys, calculating
those sizes was trivial as they were always equivalent to the key size.
However when ECDSA was added, the function grew somewhat complicated
calculations which take the ASN.1 encoding and curve into account.
This doesn't scale well and adjusting the calculations is easily
forgotten when adding support for new encodings or curves. In fact,
when NIST P521 support was recently added, the function was initially
not amended:

Introduce a ->max_size() callback to struct sig_alg and take advantage
of it to move the signature size calculations to ecdsa-x962.c.
Introduce a ->digest_size() callback to struct sig_alg and move the
maximum ECDSA digest size to ecdsa.c. It is common across ecdsa-x962.c
and the upcoming ecdsa-p1363.c and thus inherited by both of them.
For all other algorithms, continue using the key size as maximum
signature and digest size.

crypto_sig_maxsize() is a bit of a misnomer as it doesn't return the
maximum signature size, but rather the key size.
Rename it as well as all implementations of the ->max_size callback.
A subsequent commit introduces a crypto_sig_maxsize() function which
returns the actual maximum signature size.
While at it, change the return type of crypto_sig_keysize() from int to
unsigned int for consistency with crypto_akcipher_maxsize(). None of
the callers checks for a negative return value and an error condition
can always be indicated by returning zero.
