Cryptographic algorithms may have a lifespan that is significantly
shorter than Linux's, and so we need to start phasing out algorithms
that are known to be broken, and are no longer fit for general use.
RC4 (or arc4) is a good example here: there are a few areas where its
use is still somewhat acceptable, e.g., for interoperability with legacy
wifi hardware that can only use WEP or TKIP data encryption, but that
should not imply that, for instance, use of RC4 based EAP-TLS by the WPA
supplicant for negotiating TKIP keys is equally acceptable, or that RC4
should remain available as a general purpose cryptographic transform for
all in-kernel and user space clients.
Now that all in-kernel users that need to retain support have moved to
the arc4 library interface, and the known users of ecb(arc4) via the
socket API (iwd [0] and libell [1][2]) have been updated to switch to a
local implementation, we can take the next step, and mark the ecb(arc4)
skcipher as obsolete, and only provide it if the socket API is enabled in
the first place, as well as provide the option to disable all algorithms
that have been marked as obsolete.

There are no remaining users of the cipher implementation, and there
are no meaningful ways in which the arc4 cipher can be combined with
templates other than ECB (and the way we do provide that combination
is highly dubious to begin with).
So let's drop the arc4 cipher altogether, and only keep the ecb(arc4)
skcipher, which is used in various places in the kernel.

Refactor the core rc4 handling so we can move most users to a library
interface, permitting us to drop the cipher interface entirely in a
future patch. This is part of an effort to simplify the crypto API
and improve its robustness against incorrect use.

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 4179803643
("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.

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.

Convert the "ecb(arc4)" algorithm from the deprecated "blkcipher" API to
the "skcipher" API.
(Note that this is really a stream cipher and not a block cipher in ECB
mode as the name implies, but that's a problem for another day...)

This prefixes all crypto module loading with "crypto-" so we never run

Currently arc4.c provides simple one-byte blocksize cipher which is wrapped
by ecb() module, giving function call overhead on every encrypted byte. This
patch adds ecb(arc4) directly into arc4.c for higher performance.

Now that the tfm is passed directly to setkey instead of the ctx, we no
longer need to pass the &tfm->crt_flags pointer.
This patch also gets rid of a few unnecessary checks on the key length
for ciphers as the cipher layer guarantees that the key length is within
the bounds specified by the algorithm.
Rather than testing dia_setkey every time, this patch does it only once
during crypto_alloc_tfm. The redundant check from crypto_digest_setkey
is also removed.

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.

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!
