The use of wait_for_completion_interruptible is intentional so that
we don't lock up the thread if a bug causes us to never wake up.
This bug is caused by the helper thread using the larval without
holding a reference count on it. If the helper thread completes
after the original thread requesting for help has gone away and
destroyed the larval, then we get the crash above.
So the fix is to hold a reference count on the larval.

git commit 398710379 (crypto: algapi - Move larval completion
into algboss) replaced accidentally a call to complete_all() by
a call to complete(). This causes a hang on crypto allocation
if we have more than one larval waiter. This pach restores the
call to complete_all().

It has been observed that sometimes the crypto allocation code
will get stuck for 60 seconds or multiples thereof. This is
usually caused by an algorithm failing to pass the self-test.
If an algorithm fails to be constructed, we will immediately notify
all larval waiters. However, if it succeeds in construction, but
then fails the self-test, we won't notify anyone at all.
This patch fixes this by merging the notification in the case
where the algorithm fails to be constructed with that of the
the case where it pases the self-test. This way regardless of
what happens, we'll give the larval waiters an answer.

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.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

This patch introduces the template->create function intended
to replace the existing alloc function. The intention is for
create to handle the registration directly, whereas currently
the caller of alloc has to handle the registration.
This allows type-specific code to be run prior to registration.

We currently allocate temporary memory that is used for testing
statically. This renders the testing engine non-reentrant. As
algorithms may nest, i.e., one may construct another in order to
carry out a part of its operation, this is unacceptable. For
example, it has been reported that an AEAD implementation allocates
a cipher in its setkey function, which causes it to fail during
testing as the temporary memory is overwritten.
This patch replaces the static memory with dynamically allocated
buffers. We need a maximum of 16 pages so this slightly increases
the chances of an algorithm failing due to memory shortage.
However, as testing usually occurs at registration, this shouldn't
be a big problem.

As it is an skcipher with no IV escapes testing altogether because
we only test givcipher objects. This patch fixes the bypass logic
to test these algorithms.
Conversely, we're currently testing nivaead algorithms with IVs,
which would have deadlocked had it not been for the fact that no
nivaead algorithms have any test vectors. This patch also fixes
that case.
Both fixes are ugly as hell, but this ugliness should hopefully
disappear once we move them into the per-type code (i.e., the
AEAD test would live in aead.c and the skcipher stuff in ablkcipher.c).

As it is we only test ciphers when combined with a mode. That means
users that do not invoke a mode of operations may get an untested
cipher.
This patch tests all ciphers using the ECB mode so that simple cipher
users such as ansi-cprng are also protected.
