64baf3cfea [CRYPTO]: Added CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP flag
The crypto layer currently uses in_atomic() to determine whether it is
allowed to sleep.  This is incorrect since spin locks don't always cause
in_atomic() to return true.

Instead of that, this patch returns to an earlier idea of a per-tfm flag
which determines whether sleeping is allowed.  Unlike the earlier version,
the default is to not allow sleeping.  This ensures that no existing code
can break.

As usual, this flag may either be set through crypto_alloc_tfm(), or
just before a specific crypto operation.

a61cc44812 [CRYPTO] Add null short circuit to crypto_free_tfm
As far as I'm aware there's a general concensus that functions that are
responsible for freeing resources should be able to cope with being passed
a NULL pointer. This makes sense as it removes the need for all callers to
check for NULL, thus elliminating the bugs that happen when some forget
(safer to just check centrally in the freeing function) and it also makes
for smaller code all over due to the lack of all those NULL checks.
This patch makes it safe to pass the crypto_free_tfm() function a NULL
pointer. Once this patch is applied we can start removing the NULL checks
from the callers.

fbdae9f3e7 [CRYPTO] Ensure cit_iv is aligned correctly
This patch ensures that cit_iv is aligned according to cra_alignmask
by allocating it as part of the tfm structure.  As a side effect the
crypto layer will also guarantee that the tfm ctx area has enough space
to be aligned by cra_alignmask.  This allows us to remove the extra
space reservation from the Padlock driver.

9547737799 [CRYPTO] Add alignmask for low-level cipher implementations
The VIA Padlock device requires the input and output buffers to
be aligned on 16-byte boundaries.  This patch adds the alignmask
attribute for low-level cipher implementations to indicate their
alignment requirements.

The mid-level crypt() function will copy the input/output buffers
if they are not aligned correctly before they are passed to the
low-level implementation.

Strictly speaking, some of the software implementations require
the buffers to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries as they do 32-bit
loads.  However, it is not clear whether it is better to copy
the buffers or pay the penalty for unaligned loads/stores.

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!
