crypto: api - allow algs only in specific constructions in FIPS mode Currently we do not distinguish between algorithms that fail on the self-test vs. those which are disabled in FIPS mode (not allowed). Both are marked as having failed the self-test. Recently the need arose to allow the usage of certain algorithms only as arguments to specific template instantiations in FIPS mode. For example, standalone "dh" must be blocked, but e.g. "ffdhe2048(dh)" is allowed. Other potential use cases include "cbcmac(aes)", which must only be used with ccm(), or "ghash", which must be used only for gcm(). This patch allows this scenario by adding a new flag FIPS_INTERNAL to indicate those algorithms that are not FIPS-allowed. They can then be used as template arguments only, i.e. when looked up via crypto_grab_spawn() to be more specific. The FIPS_INTERNAL bit gets propagated upwards recursively into the surrounding template instances, until the construction eventually matches an explicit testmgr entry with ->fips_allowed being set, if any. The behaviour to skip !->fips_allowed self-test executions in FIPS mode will be retained. Note that this effectively means that FIPS_INTERNAL algorithms are handled very similarly to the INTERNAL ones in this regard. It is expected that the FIPS_INTERNAL algorithms will receive sufficient testing when the larger constructions they're a part of, if any, get exercised by testmgr. Note that as a side-effect of this patch algorithms which are not FIPS-allowed will now return ENOENT instead of ELIBBAD. Hopefully this is not an issue as some people were relying on this already.

mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() As said by Linus: A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use. Otherwise it's actively misleading. In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the caller wants. In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_. The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory objects. Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit. In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure that it won't get optimized away by the compiler. The renaming is done by using the command sequence: git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\ xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/' followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.
