In preparation for removal of VLAs due to skcipher requests on the stack via SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK() usage, this introduces the infrastructure for the "sync skcipher" tfm, which is for handling the on-stack cases of skcipher, which are always non-ASYNC and have a known limited request size. The crypto API additions: struct crypto_sync_skcipher (wrapper for struct crypto_skcipher) crypto_alloc_sync_skcipher() crypto_free_sync_skcipher() crypto_sync_skcipher_setkey() crypto_sync_skcipher_get_flags() crypto_sync_skcipher_set_flags() crypto_sync_skcipher_clear_flags() crypto_sync_skcipher_blocksize() crypto_sync_skcipher_ivsize() crypto_sync_skcipher_reqtfm() skcipher_request_set_sync_tfm() SYNC_SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK() (with tfm type check) Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Bug: 150811495 Test: make Change-Id: I5d002a7af64509a293cd4d685b97d2cd2c4d10e1 (cherry picked from commit b350bee5ea0f4db75d4c6191a2e95db16f40c278) Signed-off-by: Hridya Valsaraju <hridya@google.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
