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.

The gf128mul_x_ble function is currently defined in gf128mul.c, because
it depends on the gf128mul_table_be multiplication table.
However, since the function is very small and only uses two values from
the table, it is better for it to be defined as inline function in
gf128mul.h. That way, the function can be inlined by the compiler for
better performance.
For consistency, the other gf128mul_x_* functions are also moved to the
header file. In addition, the code is rewritten to be constant-time.
After this change, the speed of the generic 'xts(aes)' implementation
increased from ~225 MiB/s to ~235 MiB/s (measured using 'cryptsetup
benchmark -c aes-xts-plain64' on an Intel system with CRYPTO_AES_X86_64
and CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL disabled).

Though the GF(2^128) byte overflow tables were named the "lle" and "bbe"
tables, they are not actually tied to these element formats
specifically, but rather to particular a "bit endianness". For example,
the bbe table is actually used for both bbe and ble multiplication.
Therefore, rename the tables to "le" and "be" and update the comment to
explain this.

GF(2^128) multiplication tables are typically used for secret

This code is unlikely to be useful in the future because transforms
don't know how often keys will be changed, new algorithms are unlikely
to use lle representation, and tables should be replaced with
carryless multiplication instructions when available.

In gf128mul_lle() and gf128mul_bbe() r isn't completely initialized with
zero because the size argument passed to memset() is the size of the
pointer, not the structure it points to.
Luckily there are no in-kernel users of those functions so the ABI
change implied by this fix should break no existing code.

XTS currently considered to be the successor of the LRW mode by the IEEE1619
workgroup. LRW was discarded, because it was not secure if the encyption key
itself is encrypted with LRW.
XTS does not have this problem. The implementation is pretty straightforward,
a new function was added to gf128mul to handle GF(128) elements in ble format.
Four testvectors from the specification
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1619/email/pdf00086.pdf
were added, and they verify on my system.

A lot of cypher modes need multiplications in GF(2^128). LRW, ABL, GCM...
I use functions from this library in my LRW implementation and I will
also use them in my ABL (Arbitrary Block Length, an unencumbered (correct
me if I am wrong, wide block cipher mode).
Elements of GF(2^128) must be presented as u128 *, it encourages automatic
and proper alignment.
The library contains support for two different representations of GF(2^128),
see the comment in gf128mul.h. There different levels of optimization
(memory/speed tradeoff).
The code is based on work by Dr Brian Gladman. Notable changes:
- deletion of two optimization modes
- change from u32 to u64 for faster handling on 64bit machines
- support for 'bbe' representation in addition to the, already implemented,
'lle' representation.
- move 'inline void' functions from header to 'static void' in the
source file
- update to use the linux coding style conventions
