The code cleanups fix up W=1 compiler warnings and some unnecessary checks. The
new Kconfig option, defaulting to N, allows the rarely used eCryptfs kernel to
userspace communication channel to be compiled out. This may be the first step
in it being eventually removed.

Pull ecryptfs fixes from Tyler Hicks:
"Minor code cleanups and new Kconfig option to disable /dev/ecryptfs
The code cleanups fix up W=1 compiler warnings and some unnecessary
checks. The new Kconfig option, defaulting to N, allows the rarely
used eCryptfs kernel to userspace communication channel to be compiled
out. This may be the first step in it being eventually removed."
Hmm. I'm not sure whether these should be called "fixes", and it
probably should have gone in the merge window. But I'll let it slide.
* tag 'ecryptfs-3.9-rc2-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tyhicks/ecryptfs:
eCryptfs: allow userspace messaging to be disabled
eCryptfs: Fix redundant error check on ecryptfs_find_daemon_by_euid()
ecryptfs: ecryptfs_msg_ctx_alloc_to_free(): remove kfree() redundant null check
eCryptfs: decrypt_pki_encrypted_session_key(): remove kfree() redundant null check
eCryptfs: remove unneeded checks in virt_to_scatterlist()
eCryptfs: Fix -Wmissing-prototypes warnings
eCryptfs: Fix -Wunused-but-set-variable warnings
eCryptfs: initialize payload_len in keystore.c
When the userspace messaging (for the less common case of userspace key
wrap/unwrap via ecryptfsd) is not needed, allow eCryptfs to build with
it removed. This saves on kernel code size and reduces potential attack
surface by removing the /dev/ecryptfs node.

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

This patch fixes the compile error reported at the address:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40292
The problem arises when compiling eCryptfs as built-in and the 'encrypted'
key type as a module. The patch prevents this combination from being set in
the kernel configuration, by fixing the eCryptfs dependencies.

eCryptfs no longer uses a netlink interface to communicate with
ecryptfsd, so NET is not a valid dependency anymore.
MD5 is required and must be built for eCryptfs to be of any use.

ecryptfs uses crypto APIs so it should depend on CRYPTO.
Otherwise many build errors occur. [63 lines not pasted]

So, I compiled a 2.6.31-rc5 kernel with ecryptfs and loaded its module.
When it came time to mount my filesystem, I got this in dmesg, and it
refused to mount:
[93577.776637] Unable to allocate crypto cipher with name [aes]; rc = [-2]
[93577.783280] Error attempting to initialize key TFM cipher with name = [aes]; rc = [-2]
[93577.791183] Error attempting to initialize cipher with name = [aes] and key size = [32]; rc = [-2]
[93577.800113] Error parsing options; rc = [-22]
I figured from the error message that I'd either forgotten to load "aes"
or that my key size was bogus. Neither one of those was the case. In
fact, I was missing the CRYPTO_ECB config option and the 'ecb' module.
Unfortunately, there's no trace of 'ecb' in that error message.
I've done two things to fix this. First, I've modified ecryptfs's
Kconfig entry to select CRYPTO_ECB and CRYPTO_CBC. I also took CRYPTO
out of the dependencies since the 'select' will take care of it for us.
I've also modified the error messages to print a string that should
contain both 'ecb' and 'aes' in my error case. That will give any
future users a chance of finding the right modules and Kconfig options.
I also wonder if we should:
select CRYPTO_AES if !EMBEDDED
since I think most ecryptfs users are using AES like me.
