This patch fixes a serious bug in the test disabling patch where
it can cause an spurious load of the cryptomgr module even when
it's compiled in.
It also negates the test disabling option so that its absence
causes tests to be enabled.
The Kconfig option is also now behind EMBEDDED.

By default, CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_TESTS will be enabled and thus
self-tests will still run, but it is now possible to disable them
to gain some time during bootup.

The PCOMP Kconfig entry current allows the following combination
which is illegal:
ZLIB=y
PCOMP=y
ALGAPI=m
ALGAPI2=y
MANAGER=m
MANAGER2=m
This patch fixes this by adding PCOMP2 so that PCOMP can select
ALGAPI to propagate the setting to MANAGER2.

PCLMULQDQ is used to accelerate the most time-consuming part of GHASH,
carry-less multiplication. More information about PCLMULQDQ can be
found at:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/carry-less-multiplication-and-its-usage-for-computing-the-gcm-mode/
Because PCLMULQDQ changes XMM state, its usage must be enclosed with
kernel_fpu_begin/end, which can be used only in process context, the
acceleration is implemented as crypto_ahash. That is, request in soft
IRQ context will be defered to the cryptd kernel thread.

What about something like this? It defaults the CPRNG to m and makes FIPS
dependent on the CPRNG. That way you get a module build by default, but you can
change it to y manually during config and still satisfy the dependency, and if
you select N it disables FIPS as well. I rather like that better than making
FIPS a tristate. I just tested it out here and it seems to work well. Let me
know what you think

This reverts commit 215ccd6f55.
It causes CPRNG and everything selected by it to be built-in
whenever FIPS is enabled. The problem is that it is selecting
a tristate from a bool, which is usually not what is intended.

Because kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() operations are too
slow, the performance gain of general mode implementation + aes-aesni
is almost all compensated.
The AES-NI support for more modes are implemented as follow:
- Add a new AES algorithm implementation named __aes-aesni without
kernel_fpu_begin/end()
- Use fpu(<mode>(AES)) to provide kenrel_fpu_begin/end() invoking
- Add <mode>(AES) ablkcipher, which uses cryptd(fpu(<mode>(AES))) to
defer cryption to cryptd context in soft_irq context.
Now the ctr, lrw, pcbc and xts support are added.
Performance testing based on dm-crypt shows that cryption time can be
reduced to 50% of general mode implementation + aes-aesni implementation.

Blkcipher touching FPU need to be enclosed by kernel_fpu_begin() and
kernel_fpu_end(). If they are invoked in cipher algorithm
implementation, they will be invoked for each block, so that
performance will be hurt, because they are "slow" operations. This
patch implements "fpu" template, which makes these operations to be
invoked for each request.

The current "comp" crypto interface supports one-shot (de)compression only,
i.e. the whole data buffer to be (de)compressed must be passed at once, and
the whole (de)compressed data buffer will be received at once.
In several use-cases (e.g. compressed file systems that store files in big
compressed blocks), this workflow is not suitable.
Furthermore, the "comp" type doesn't provide for the configuration of
(de)compression parameters, and always allocates workspace memory for both
compression and decompression, which may waste memory.
To solve this, add a "pcomp" partial (de)compression interface that provides
the following operations:
- crypto_compress_{init,update,final}() for compression,
- crypto_decompress_{init,update,final}() for decompression,
- crypto_{,de}compress_setup(), to configure (de)compression parameters
(incl. allocating workspace memory).
The (de)compression methods take a struct comp_request, which was mimicked
after the z_stream object in zlib, and contains buffer pointer and length
pairs for input and output.
The setup methods take an opaque parameter pointer and length pair. Parameters
are supposed to be encoded using netlink attributes, whose meanings depend on
the actual (name of the) (de)compression algorithm.

Intel AES-NI is a new set of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD)
instructions that are going to be introduced in the next generation of
Intel processor, as of 2009. These instructions enable fast and secure
data encryption and decryption, using the Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES), defined by FIPS Publication number 197. The architecture
introduces six instructions that offer full hardware support for
AES. Four of them support high performance data encryption and
decryption, and the other two instructions support the AES key
expansion procedure.
The white paper can be downloaded from:
http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/isn/downloads/intelavx/AES-Instructions-Set_WP.pdf
AES may be used in soft_irq context, but MMX/SSE context can not be
touched safely in soft_irq context. So in_interrupt() is checked, if
in IRQ or soft_irq context, the general x86_64 implementation are used
instead.

This patch swaps the role of libcrc32c and crc32c. Previously
the implementation was in libcrc32c and crc32c was a wrapper.
Now the code is in crc32c and libcrc32c just calls the crypto
layer.
The reason for the change is to tap into the algorithm selection
capability of the crypto API so that optimised implementations
such as the one utilising Intel's CRC32C instruction can be
used where available.

If we have at least one algorithm built-in then it no longer makes
sense to have the testing framework, and hence cryptomgr to be a
module. It should be either on or off, i.e., built-in or disabled.
This just happens to stop a potential runaway modprobe loop that
seems to trigger on at least one distro.
