commit 578bdaabd015b9b164842c3e8ace9802f38e7ecc upstream.

These are unused, undesired, and have never actually been used by
anybody. The original authors of this code have changed their mind about
its inclusion. While originally proposed for disk encryption on low-end
devices, the idea was discarded [1] in favor of something else before
that could really get going. Therefore, this patch removes Speck.

<title>kbuild: mark $(targets) as .SECONDARY and remove .PRECIOUS markers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:54a702f70589926acf687f0cd5df24d07230c80e</id>
<content type='text'>
GNU Make automatically deletes intermediate files that are updated
in a chain of pattern rules.

Example 1) %.dtb.o &lt;- %.dtb.S &lt;- %.dtb &lt;- %.dts
Example 2) %.o &lt;- %.c &lt;- %.c_shipped

A couple of makefiles mark such targets as .PRECIOUS to prevent Make
from deleting them, but the correct way is to use .SECONDARY.

  .SECONDARY
    Prerequisites of this special target are treated as intermediate
    files but are never automatically deleted.

  .PRECIOUS
    When make is interrupted during execution, it may delete the target
    file it is updating if the file was modified since make started.
    If you mark the file as precious, make will never delete the file
    if interrupted.

Both can avoid deletion of intermediate files, but the difference is
the behavior when Make is interrupted; .SECONDARY deletes the target,
but .PRECIOUS does not.

The use of .PRECIOUS is relatively rare since we do not want to keep
partially constructed (possibly corrupted) targets.

Another difference is that .PRECIOUS works with pattern rules whereas
.SECONDARY does not.

  .PRECIOUS: $(obj)/%.lex.c

works, but

  .SECONDARY: $(obj)/%.lex.c

has no effect.  However, for the reason above, I do not want to use
.PRECIOUS which could cause obscure build breakage.

The targets specified as .SECONDARY must be explicit.  $(targets)
contains all targets that need to include .*.cmd files.  So, the
intermediates you want to keep are mostly in there.  Therefore, mark
$(targets) as .SECONDARY.  It means primary targets are also marked
as .SECONDARY, but I do not see any drawback for this.

I replaced some .SECONDARY / .PRECIOUS markers with 'targets'.  This
will make Kbuild search for non-existing .*.cmd files, but this is
not a noticeable performance issue.

<title>crypto: arm,arm64 - Fix random regeneration of S_shipped</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=6aaf49b495b446ff6eec0ac983f781ca0dc56a73'/>
<id>urn:sha1:6aaf49b495b446ff6eec0ac983f781ca0dc56a73</id>
<content type='text'>
The decision to rebuild .S_shipped is made based on the relative
timestamps of .S_shipped and .pl files but git makes this essentially
random. This means that the perl script might run anyway (usually at
most once per checkout), defeating the whole purpose of _shipped.

Fix by skipping the rule unless explicit make variables are provided:
REGENERATE_ARM_CRYPTO or REGENERATE_ARM64_CRYPTO.

This can produce nasty occasional build failures downstream, for example
for toolchains with broken perl. The solution is minimally intrusive to
make it easier to push into stable.

<title>crypto: arm/speck - add NEON-accelerated implementation of Speck-XTS</title>
<updated>2018-02-22T14:16:55Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Eric Biggers</name>
</author>
<published>2018-02-14T18:42:21Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=ede9622162fac42eacde231d64e94c926f4be45d'/>
<id>urn:sha1:ede9622162fac42eacde231d64e94c926f4be45d</id>
<content type='text'>
Add an ARM NEON-accelerated implementation of Speck-XTS.  It operates on
128-byte chunks at a time, i.e. 8 blocks for Speck128 or 16 blocks for
Speck64.  Each 128-byte chunk goes through XTS preprocessing, then is
encrypted/decrypted (doing one cipher round for all the blocks, then the
next round, etc.), then goes through XTS postprocessing.

The performance depends on the processor but can be about 3 times faster
than the generic code.  For example, on an ARMv7 processor we observe
the following performance with Speck128/256-XTS:

    xts-speck128-neon:     Encryption 107.9 MB/s, Decryption 108.1 MB/s
    xts(speck128-generic): Encryption  32.1 MB/s, Decryption  36.6 MB/s

In comparison to AES-256-XTS without the Cryptography Extensions:

    xts-aes-neonbs:        Encryption  41.2 MB/s, Decryption  36.7 MB/s
    xts(aes-asm):          Encryption  31.7 MB/s, Decryption  30.8 MB/s
    xts(aes-generic):      Encryption  21.2 MB/s, Decryption  20.9 MB/s

Speck64/128-XTS is even faster:

    xts-speck64-neon:      Encryption 138.6 MB/s, Decryption 139.1 MB/s

Note that as with the generic code, only the Speck128 and Speck64
variants are supported.  Also, for now only the XTS mode of operation is
supported, to target the disk and file encryption use cases.  The NEON
code also only handles the portion of the data that is evenly divisible
into 128-byte chunks, with any remainder handled by a C fallback.  Of
course, other modes of operation could be added later if needed, and/or
the NEON code could be updated to handle other buffer sizes.

The XTS specification is only defined for AES which has a 128-bit block
size, so for the GF(2^64) math needed for Speck64-XTS we use the
reducing polynomial 'x^64 + x^4 + x^3 + x + 1' given by the original XEX
paper.  Of course, when possible users should use Speck128-XTS, but even
that may be too slow on some processors; Speck64-XTS can be faster.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>
<updated>2017-11-02T10:10:55Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Greg Kroah-Hartman</name>
</author>
<published>2017-11-01T14:07:57Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<title>crypto: arm/crc32 - add build time test for CRC instruction support</title>

<content type='text'>
The accelerated CRC32 module for ARM may use either the scalar CRC32
instructions, the NEON 64x64 to 128 bit polynomial multiplication
(vmull.p64) instruction, or both, depending on what the current CPU
supports.

However, this also requires support in binutils, and as it turns out,
versions of binutils exist that support the vmull.p64 instruction but
not the crc32 instructions.

So refactor the Makefile logic so that this module only gets built if
binutils has support for both.

<content type='text'>
This replaces the unwieldy generated implementation of bit-sliced AES
in CBC/CTR/XTS modes that originated in the OpenSSL project with a
new version that is heavily based on the OpenSSL implementation, but
has a number of advantages over the old version:
- it does not rely on the scalar AES cipher that also originated in the
  OpenSSL project and contains redundant lookup tables and key schedule
  generation routines (which we already have in crypto/aes_generic.)
- it uses the same expanded key schedule for encryption and decryption,
  reducing the size of the per-key data structure by 1696 bytes
- it adds an implementation of AES in ECB mode, which can be wrapped by
  other generic chaining mode implementations
- it moves the handling of corner cases that are non critical to performance
  to the glue layer written in C
- it was written directly in assembler rather than generated from a Perl
  script

<content type='text'>
This replaces the scalar AES cipher that originates in the OpenSSL project
with a new implementation that is ~15% (*) faster (on modern cores), and
reuses the lookup tables and the key schedule generation routines from the
generic C implementation (which is usually compiled in anyway due to
networking and other subsystems depending on it).

Note that the bit sliced NEON code for AES still depends on the scalar cipher
that this patch replaces, so it is not removed entirely yet.

* On Cortex-A57, the performance increases from 17.0 to 14.9 cycles per byte
  for 128-bit keys.
