Pull keys update from David Howells:
"This adds support for ML-DSA signatures in X.509 certificates and
PKCS#7/CMS messages, thereby allowing this algorithm to be used for
signing modules, kexec'able binaries, wifi regulatory data, etc..

This requires OpenSSL-3.5 at a minimum and preferably OpenSSL-4 (so
that it can avoid the use of CMS signedAttrs - but that version is not
cut yet). certs/Kconfig does a check to hide the signing options if
OpenSSL does not list the algorithm as being available"

crypto: aes - Remove aes-fixed-time / CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_TI

Remove aes-fixed-time, i.e. CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_TI. This was a wrapper
around the 256-byte-table-based AES implementation in lib/crypto/aes.

crypto: aes - Remove aes-fixed-time / CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_TI

Remove aes-fixed-time, i.e. CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_TI. This was a wrapper
around the 256-byte-table-based AES implementation in lib/crypto/aes.c,
with extra code to enable and disable IRQs for constant-time hardening.

While nice in theory, in practice this had the following issues:

- For bulk en/decryption it was 2-4 times slower than aes-generic. This
resulted in aes-generic still being needed, creating fragmentation.

- Having both aes-generic and aes-fixed-time punted an AES
implementation decision to distros and users who are generally
unprepared to handle it. In practice, whether aes-fixed-time gets
used tends to be incidental and not match an explicit distro or user
intent. (While aes-fixed-time has a higher priority than aes-generic,
whether it actually gets enabled, loaded, and used depends on the
kconfig and whether a modprobe of "aes" happens to be done. It also
has a lower priority than aes-arm and aes-arm64.)

- My changes to the generic AES code (in other commits) significantly
close the gap with aes-fixed-time anyway. The table size is reduced
from 8192 bytes to 1024 bytes, and prefetching is added.

- While AES code *should* be constant-time, the real solutions for that
are AES instructions (which most CPUs have now) or bit-slicing. arm
and arm64 already have bit-sliced AES code for many modes; generic
bit-sliced code could be written but would be very slow for single
blocks. Overall, I suggest that trying to write constant-time
table-based AES code is a bit futile anyway, and in the rare cases
where a proper AES implementation is still unavailable it's reasonable
to compromise with an implementation that simply prefetches the table.

Thus, this commit removes aes-fixed-time and CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_TI. The
replacement is just the existing CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES, which for now maps
to the existing aes-generic code, but I'll soon be changing to use the
improved AES library code instead.

crypto: adiantum - Convert to use NH library

Reimplement the Adiantum message hashing using the nh() library
function, combined with some code which directly handles the Poly1305
stage. The latter code is derived from crypto/nhpoly1305.c.

This eliminates the dependency on the "nhpoly1305" crypto_shash
algorithm, which existed only to fit Adiantum message hashing into the
traditional Linux crypto API paradigm. Now that simple,
architecture-optimized library functions are a well-established option
too, we can switch to this simpler implementation.

Note: I've dropped the support for the optional third parameter of the
adiantum template, which specified the nhpoly1305 implementation. We
could keep accepting some strings in this parameter for backwards
compatibility, but I don't think it's being used. I believe only
"adiantum(xchacha12,aes)" and "adiantum(xchacha20,aes)" are used.

Remove ansi_cprng, since it's obsolete and unused, as confirmed at
https://lore.kernel.org/r/aQxpnckYMgAAOLpZ@gondor.apana.org.au/

This was originally added in 2008, apparently as a FIPS approved random
number generator. Whether this has ever belonged upstream is
questionable. Either way, ansi_cprng is no longer usable for this
purpose, since it's been superseded by the more modern algorithms in
crypto/drbg.c, and FIPS itself no longer allows it. (NIST SP 800-131A
Rev 1 (2015) says that RNGs based on ANSI X9.31 will be disallowed after
2015. NIST SP 800-131A Rev 2 (2019) confirms they are now disallowed.)

Therefore, there is no reason to keep it around.

The "hash function" in hctr2 is fixed at POLYVAL; it can never vary.
Just use the POLYVAL library, which is much easier to use than the
crypto_shash API. It's faster, uses fixed-size structs, and never fails

Note that this eliminates the only known user of the polyval support in

lib/crypto: poly1305: Consolidate into single module

Consolidate the Poly1305 code into a single module, similar to various
other algorithms (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, etc.):

- Each arch now provides a header file lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/poly1305.h,
replacing lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/poly1305*.c. The header defines
poly1305_block_init(), poly1305_blocks(), poly1305_emit(), and
optionally poly1305_mod_init_arch(). It is included by
lib/crypto/poly1305.c, and thus the code gets built into the single
libpoly1305 module, with improved inlining in some cases.

- Whether arch-optimized Poly1305 is buildable is now controlled
centrally by lib/crypto/Kconfig instead of by
lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/Kconfig. The conditions for enabling it remain
the same as before, and it remains enabled by default. (The PPC64 one
remains unconditionally disabled due to 'depends on BROKEN'.)

- Any additional arch-specific translation units for the optimized
Poly1305 code, such as assembly files, are now compiled by
lib/crypto/Makefile instead of lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile.

A special consideration is needed because the Adiantum code uses the
poly1305_core_*() functions directly. For now, just carry forward that
approach. This means retaining the CRYPTO_LIB_POLY1305_GENERIC kconfig
symbol, and keeping the poly1305_core_*() functions in separate
translation units. So it's not quite as streamlined I've done with the
other hash functions, but we still get a single libpoly1305 module.

crypto: sha256 - Wrap library and add HMAC support

Like I did for crypto/sha512.c, rework crypto/sha256.c to simply wrap

optimized and generic block functions directly. Also add support for
HMAC-SHA224 and HMAC-SHA256, again just wrapping the library functions.

Since the replacement crypto_shash algorithms are implemented using the
(potentially arch-optimized) library functions, give them driver names
ending with "-lib" rather than "-generic". Update crypto/testmgr.c and
a couple odd drivers to take this change in driver name into account.

Besides the above cases which are accounted for, there are no known
cases where the driver names were being depended on. There is
potential for confusion for people manually checking /proc/crypto (e.g.
https://lore.kernel.org/r/9e33c893-2466-4d4e-afb1-966334e451a2@linux.ibm.com/),
but really people just need to get used to the driver name not being
meaningful for the software algorithms. Historically, the optimized
code was disabled by default, so there was some purpose to checking
whether it was enabled or not. However, this is now fixed for all SHA-2
algorithms, and the library code just always does the right thing. E.g.
if the CPU supports SHA-256 instructions, they are used.

This change does also mean that the generic partial block handling code
in crypto/shash.c, which got added in 6.16, no longer gets used. But
that's fine; the library has to implement the partial block handling
anyway, and it's better to do it in the library since the block size and
other properties of the algorithm are all fixed at compile time there,
resulting in more streamlined code.

crypto: sha512 - Replace sha512_generic with wrapper around SHA-512 library

Delete crypto/sha512_generic.c, which provided "generic" SHA-384 and
SHA-512 crypto_shash algorithms. Replace it with crypto/sha512.c which
provides SHA-384, SHA-512, HMAC-SHA384, and HMAC-SHA512 crypto_shash
algorithms using the corresponding library functions.

This is a prerequisite for migrating all the arch-optimized SHA-512 code
(which is almost 3000 lines) to lib/crypto/ rather than duplicating it.

Since the replacement crypto_shash algorithms are implemented using the
(potentially arch-optimized) library functions, give them
cra_driver_names ending with "-lib" rather than "-generic". Update
crypto/testmgr.c and one odd driver to take this change in driver name
into account. Besides these cases which are accounted for, there are no
known cases where the cra_driver_name was being depended on.

This change does mean that the abstract partial block handling code in
crypto/shash.c, which got added in 6.16, no longer gets used. But
that's fine; the library has to implement the partial block handling
anyway, and it's better to do it in the library since the block size and
other properties of the algorithm are all fixed at compile time there,
resulting in more streamlined code.

crypto: testmgr - reinstate kconfig control over full self-tests

Commit 698de822780f ("crypto: testmgr - make it easier to enable the
full set of tests") removed support for building kernels that run only
the "fast" set of crypto self-tests by default. This assumed that
nearly everyone actually wanted the full set of tests, *if* they had
already chosen to enable the tests at all.

Unfortunately, it turns out that both Debian and Fedora intentionally
have the crypto self-tests enabled in their production kernels. And for
production kernels we do need to keep the testing time down, which
implies just running the "fast" tests, not the full set of tests.

For Fedora, a reason for enabling the tests in production is that they
are being (mis)used to meet the FIPS 140-3 pre-operational testing
requirement.

However, the other reason for enabling the tests in production, which
applies to both distros, is that they provide some value in protecting
users from buggy drivers. Unfortunately, the crypto/ subsystem has many
buggy and untested drivers for off-CPU hardware accelerators on rare
platforms. These broken drivers get shipped to users, and there have
been multiple examples of the tests preventing these buggy drivers from
being used. So effectively, the tests are being relied on in production
kernels. I think this is kind of crazy (untested drivers should just
not be enabled at all), but that seems to be how things work currently.

Thus, reintroduce a kconfig option that controls the level of testing.
Call it CRYPTO_SELFTESTS_FULL instead of the original name
CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS, which was slightly misleading.

Moreover, given the "production kernel" use case, make CRYPTO_SELFTESTS
depend on EXPERT instead of DEBUG_KERNEL.

I also haven't reinstated all the #ifdefs in crypto/testmgr.c. Instead,
just rely on the compiler to optimize out unused code.

crypto: testmgr - make it easier to enable the full set of tests

Currently the full set of crypto self-tests requires
CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS=y. This is problematic in two ways.
First, developers regularly overlook this option. Second, the
description of the tests as "extra" sometimes gives the impression that
it is not required that all algorithms pass these tests.

Given that the main use case for the crypto self-tests is for
developers, make enabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_SELFTESTS=y just enable the full
set of crypto self-tests by default.

The slow tests can still be disabled by adding the command-line
parameter cryptomgr.noextratests=1, soon to be renamed to
cryptomgr.noslowtests=1. The only known use case for doing this is for
people trying to use the crypto self-tests to satisfy the FIPS 140-3
pre-operational self-testing requirements when the kernel is being
validated as a FIPS 140-3 cryptographic module.
