ccb778e184 crypto: api - Add fips_enable flag
Add the ability to turn FIPS-compliant mode on or off at boot

In order to be FIPS compliant, several check may need to be preformed that may
be construed as unusefull in a non-compliant mode.  This patch allows us to set
a kernel flag incating that we are running in a fips-compliant mode from boot
up.  It also exports that mode information to user space via a sysctl
(/proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled).

Tested successfully by me.

73d3864a48 crypto: api - Use test infrastructure
This patch makes use of the new testing infrastructure by requiring
algorithms to pass a run-time test before they're made available to
users.

a7581a01fb crypto: api - Display larval objects properly
Rather than displaying larval objects as real objects, this patch
makes them show up under /proc/crypto as of type larval.

Simple and stupid - just use the same code from another place in the kernel.

2b8693c061 [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 3
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

e853c3cfa8 [CRYPTO] api: Added crypto_type support
This patch adds the crypto_type structure which will be used for all new
crypto algorithm types, beginning with block ciphers.

The primary purpose of this abstraction is to allow different crypto_type
objects for crypto algorithms of the same type, in particular, there will
be a different crypto_type objects for asynchronous algorithms.

cce9e06d10 [CRYPTO] api: Split out low-level API
The crypto API is made up of the part facing users such as IPsec and the
low-level part which is used by cryptographic entities such as algorithms.
This patch splits out the latter so that the two APIs are more clearly
delineated.  As a bonus the low-level API can now be modularised if all
algorithms are built as modules.

6521f30273 [CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_alg reference counting
Up until now we've relied on module reference counting to ensure that the
crypto_alg structures don't disappear from under us.  This was good enough
as long as each crypto_alg came from exactly one module.

However, with parameterised crypto algorithms a crypto_alg object may need
two or more modules to operate.  This means that we need to count the
references to the crypto_alg object directly.

5cb1454b86 [CRYPTO] Allow multiple implementations of the same algorithm
This is the first step on the road towards asynchronous support in
the Crypto API.  It adds support for having multiple crypto_alg objects
for the same algorithm registered in the system.

For example, each device driver would register a crypto_alg object
for each algorithm that it supports.  While at the same time the
user may load software implementations of those same algorithms.

Users of the Crypto API may then select a specific implementation
by name, or choose any implementation for a given algorithm with
the highest priority.

The priority field is a 32-bit signed integer.  In future it will be
possible to modify it from user-space.

This also provides a solution to the problem of selecting amongst
various AES implementations, that is, aes vs. aes-i586 vs. aes-padlock.

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!
