<id>urn:sha1:7185ad2672a7d50bc384de0e38d90b75d99f3d82</id>
<content type='text'>
Recently, in commit 13aa93c70e71 ("random: add and use memzero_explicit()
for clearing data"), we have found that GCC may optimize some memset()
cases away when it detects a stack variable is not being used anymore
and going out of scope. This can happen, for example, in cases when we
are clearing out sensitive information such as keying material or any
e.g. intermediate results from crypto computations, etc.

With the help of Coccinelle, we can figure out and fix such occurences
in the crypto subsytem as well. Julia Lawall provided the following
Coccinelle program:

  @@
  type T;
  identifier x;
  @@

  T x;
  ... when exists
      when any
  -memset
  +memzero_explicit
     (&amp;x,
  -0,
     ...)
  ... when != x
      when strict

  @@
  type T;
  identifier x;
  @@

  T x[...];
  ... when exists
      when any
  -memset
  +memzero_explicit
     (x,
  -0,
     ...)
  ... when != x
      when strict

Therefore, make use of the drop-in replacement memzero_explicit() for
exactly such cases instead of using memset().

Replaced the use of a Variable Length Array In Struct (VLAIS) with a C99
compliant equivalent. This patch allocates the appropriate amount of memory
using a char array using the SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK macro.

The new code can be compiled with both gcc and clang.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
 "Included in these updates are:
   - Performance optimisation to avoid writing the control register at
     every exception.
   - Use static inline instead of extern inline in ftrace code.
   - Crypto ARM assembly updates for big endian
   - Alignment of initrd/.init memory to page sizes when freeing to
     ensure that we fully free the regions
   - Add gcov support
   - A couple of preparatory patches for VDSO support: use
     _install_special_mapping, and randomize the sigpage placement above
     stack.
   - Add L2 ePAPR DT cache properties so that DT can specify the cache
     geometry.
   - Preparatory patch for FIQ (NMI) kernel C code for things like
     spinlock lockup debug.  Following on from this are a couple of my
     patches cleaning up show_regs() and removing an unused (probably
     since 1.x days) do_unexp_fiq() function.
   - Use pr_warn() rather than pr_warning().
   - A number of cleanups (smp, footbridge, return_address)"

Pull dmaengine updates from Dan Williams:
 "Even though this has fixes marked for -stable, given the size and the
  needed conflict resolutions this is 3.18-rc1/merge-window material.

  These patches have been languishing in my tree for a long while.  The
  fact that I do not have the time to do proper/prompt maintenance of
  this tree is a primary factor in the decision to step down as
  dmaengine maintainer.  That and the fact that the bulk of drivers/dma/
  activity is going through Vinod these days.

  The net_dma removal has not been in -next.  It has developed simple
  conflicts against mainline and net-next (for-3.18).

  Continuing thanks to Vinod for staying on top of drivers/dma/.

  Summary:

   1/ Step down as dmaengine maintainer see commit 08223d80df38
      "dmaengine maintainer update"

   2/ Removal of net_dma, as it has been marked 'broken' since 3.13
      (commit 77873803363c "net_dma: mark broken"), without reports of
      performance regression.

   3/ Miscellaneous fixes"

* tag 'dmaengine-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/dmaengine:
  net: make tcp_cleanup_rbuf private
  net_dma: revert 'copied_early'

  dma: mv_xor: Rename __mv_xor_slot_cleanup() to mv_xor_slot_cleanup()
  dma: mv_xor: Remove all callers of mv_xor_slot_cleanup()
  dma: mv_xor: Remove unneeded mv_xor_clean_completed_slots() call

Previous version of KEYS used to output last 4 bytes of fingerprint.
Now it outputs 8 last bytes of raw subject, which does not make any
visual meaning at all. This patch restores old behavior.
