mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()

As said by Linus:

A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
Otherwise it's actively misleading.

In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
caller wants.

In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.

The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.

Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.

The renaming is done by using the command sequence:

git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'

followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

crypto: make all generic algorithms set cra_driver_name

Most generic crypto algorithms declare a driver name ending in
"-generic". The rest don't declare a driver name and instead rely on
the crypto API automagically appending "-generic" upon registration.

Having multiple conventions is unnecessarily confusing and makes it
harder to grep for all generic algorithms in the kernel source tree.
But also, allowing NULL driver names is problematic because sometimes
people fail to set it, e.g. the case fixed by commit 417980364300
("crypto: cavium/zip - fix collision with generic cra_driver_name").

Of course, people can also incorrectly name their drivers "-generic".
But that's much easier to notice / grep for.

Therefore, let's make cra_driver_name mandatory. In preparation for
this, this patch makes all generic algorithms set cra_driver_name.

crypto: run initcalls for generic implementations earlier

Use subsys_initcall for registration of all templates and generic
algorithm implementations, rather than module_init. Then change
cryptomgr to use arch_initcall, to place it before the subsys_initcalls.

This is needed so that when both a generic and optimized implementation
of an algorithm are built into the kernel (not loadable modules), the
generic implementation is registered before the optimized one.
Otherwise, the self-tests for the optimized implementation are unable to
allocate the generic implementation for the new comparison fuzz tests.

Note that on arm, a side effect of this change is that self-tests for
generic implementations may run before the unaligned access handler has
been installed. So, unaligned accesses will crash the kernel. This is
arguably a good thing as it makes it easier to detect that type of bug.

crypto: cleanup - remove unneeded crypto_alg.cra_list initializations

Initialization of cra_list is currently mixed, most ciphers initialize this
field and most shashes do not. Initialization however is not needed at all
since cra_list is initialized/overwritten in __crypto_register_alg() with
list_add(). Therefore perform cleanup to remove all unneeded initializations
of this field in 'crypto/'.

zlib: slim down zlib_deflate() workspace when possible

Instead of always creating a huge (268K) deflate_workspace with the
maximum compression parameters (windowBits=15, memLevel=8), allow the
caller to obtain a smaller workspace by specifying smaller parameter
values.

For example, when capturing oops and panic reports to a medium with
limited capacity, such as NVRAM, compression may be the only way to
capture the whole report. In this case, a small workspace (24K works
fine) is a win, whether you allocate the workspace when you need it (i.e.,
during an oops or panic) or at boot time.

I've verified that this patch works with all accepted values of windowBits
(positive and negative), memLevel, and compression level.

Thanks for the suggestion, the init() is replaced with

<algorithm name>_mod_init ()

and fini () is replaced with <algorithm name>_mod_fini.

[CRYPTO] api: Added cra_init/cra_exit

This patch adds the hooks cra_init/cra_exit which are called during a tfm's
construction and destruction respectively. This will be used by the instances
to allocate child tfm's.

For now this lets us get rid of the coa_init/coa_exit functions which are
used for exactly that purpose (unlike the dia_init function which is called
for each transaction).

In fact the coa_exit path is currently buggy as it may get called twice
when an error is encountered during initialisation.

[CRYPTO] all: Pass tfm instead of ctx to algorithms

Up until now algorithms have been happy to get a context pointer since
they know everything that's in the tfm already (e.g., alignment, block
size).

However, once we have parameterised algorithms, such information will
be specific to each tfm. So the algorithm API needs to be changed to
pass the tfm structure instead of the context pointer.

This patch is basically a text substitution. The only tricky bit is
the assembly routines that need to get the context pointer offset
through asm-offsets.h.

[PATCH] crypto: call zlib end functions on deflate exit path

In the deflate_[compress|uncompress|pcompress] functions we call the
zlib_[in|de]flateReset function at the beginning. This is OK. But when we
unload the deflate module we don't call zlib_[in|de]flateEnd to free all
the zlib internal data. It looks like a bug for me. Please, consider the
attached patch.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
