2d93404f35 docs: */index.rst: Add newer documents to their respective index.rst
A number of new docs were added, but they're currently not on
the index.rst from the session they're supposed to be, causing
Sphinx warnings.

Add them.

Add a note that it is perfectly legal to "abandon" a request object:
- call .init() and then (as many times) .update()
- _not_ call any of .final(), .finup() or .export() at any point in
  future

aba973c69e crypto: doc - adapt api sample to use async. op wait
The code sample is waiting for an async. crypto op completion.
Adapt sample to use the new generic infrastructure to do the same.

This also fixes a possible data coruption bug created by the
use of wait_for_completion_interruptible() without dealing
correctly with an interrupt aborting the wait prior to the
async op finishing.

6312811be2 Merge remote-tracking branch 'mauro-exp/docbook3' into death-to-docbook
Mauro says:

This patch series convert the remaining DocBooks to ReST.

The first version was originally
send as 3 patch series:

   [PATCH 00/36] Convert DocBook documents to ReST
   [PATCH 0/5] Convert more books to ReST
   [PATCH 00/13] Get rid of DocBook

The lsm book was added as if it were a text file under
Documentation. The plan is to merge it with another file
under Documentation/security, after both this series and
a security Documentation patch series gets merged.

It also adjusts some Sphinx-pedantic errors/warnings on
some kernel-doc markups.

I also added some patches here to add PDF output for all
existing ReST books.

0a82a6239b async_tx: add support for asynchronous RAID6 recovery operations
async_raid6_2data_recov() recovers two data disk failures

 async_raid6_datap_recov() recovers a data disk and the P disk

These routines are a port of the synchronous versions found in
drivers/md/raid6recov.c.  The primary difference is breaking out the xor
operations into separate calls to async_xor.  Two helper routines are
introduced to perform scalar multiplication where needed.
async_sum_product() multiplies two sources by scalar coefficients and
then sums (xor) the result.  async_mult() simply multiplies a single
source by a scalar.

This implemention also includes, in contrast to the original
synchronous-only code, special case handling for the 4-disk and 5-disk
array cases.  In these situations the default N-disk algorithm will
present 0-source or 1-source operations to dma devices.  To cover for
dma devices where the minimum source count is 2 we implement 4-disk and
5-disk handling in the recovery code.

b2f46fd8ef async_tx: add support for asynchronous GF multiplication
[ Based on an original patch by Yuri Tikhonov ]

This adds support for doing asynchronous GF multiplication by adding
two additional functions to the async_tx API:

 async_gen_syndrome() does simultaneous XOR and Galois field
    multiplication of sources.

 async_syndrome_val() validates the given source buffers against known P
    and Q values.

When a request is made to run async_pq against more than the hardware
maximum number of supported sources we need to reuse the previous
generated P and Q values as sources into the next operation.  Care must
be taken to remove Q from P' and P from Q'.  For example to perform a 5
source pq op with hardware that only supports 4 sources at a time the
following approach is taken:

p, q = PQ(src0, src1, src2, src3, COEF({01}, {02}, {04}, {08}))
p', q' = PQ(p, q, q, src4, COEF({00}, {01}, {00}, {10}))

p' = p + q + q + src4 = p + src4
q' = {00}*p + {01}*q + {00}*q + {10}*src4 = q + {10}*src4

Note: 4 is the minimum acceptable maxpq otherwise we punt to
synchronous-software path.

The DMA_PREP_CONTINUE flag indicates to the driver to reuse p and q as
sources (in the above manner) and fill the remaining slots up to maxpq
with the new sources/coefficients.

Note1: Some devices have native support for P+Q continuation and can skip
this extra work.  Devices with this capability can advertise it with
dma_set_maxpq.  It is up to each driver how to handle the
DMA_PREP_CONTINUE flag.

Note2: The api supports disabling the generation of P when generating Q,
this is ignored by the synchronous path but is implemented by some dma
devices to save unnecessary writes.  In this case the continuation
algorithm is simplified to only reuse Q as a source.

04ce9ab385 async_xor: permit callers to pass in a 'dma/page scribble' region
async_xor() needs space to perform dma and page address conversions.  In
most cases the code can simply reuse the struct page * array because the
size of the native pointer matches the size of a dma/page address.  In
order to support archs where sizeof(dma_addr_t) is larger than
sizeof(struct page *), or to preserve the input parameters, we utilize a
memory region passed in by the caller.

Since the code is now prepared to handle the case where it cannot
perform address conversions on the stack, we no longer need the
!HIGHMEM64G dependency in drivers/dma/Kconfig.

a08abd8ca8 async_tx: structify submission arguments, add scribble
Prepare the api for the arrival of a new parameter, 'scribble'.  This
will allow callers to identify scratchpad memory for dma address or page

opportunity to convert the common submission parameters (flags,

passed by reference.

Also, take this opportunity to fix up the kerneldoc and add notes about
the relevant ASYNC_TX_* flags for each routine.

88ba2aa586 async_tx: kill ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag
In support of inter-channel chaining async_tx utilizes an ack flag to
gate whether a dependent operation can be chained to another.  While the
flag is not set the chain can be considered open for appending.  Setting
the ack flag closes the chain and flags the descriptor for garbage
collection.  The ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag essentially means "close the
chain after adding this dependency".  Since each operation can only have
one child the api now implicitly sets the ack flag at dependency
submission time.  This removes an unnecessary management burden from
clients of the api.

[ Impact: clean up and enforce one dependency per operation ]

099f53cb50 async_tx: rename zero_sum to val
'zero_sum' does not properly describe the operation of generating parity
and checking that it validates against an existing buffer.  Change the
name of the operation to 'val' (for 'validate').  This is in
anticipation of the p+q case where it is a requirement to identify the
target parity buffers separately from the source buffers, because the
target parity buffers will not have corresponding pq coefficients.

28405d8d9c async_tx, dmaengine: document channel allocation and api rework
"Wouldn't it be better if the dmaengine layer made sure it didn't pass
the same channel several times to a client?

I mean, you seem concerned that the memcpy() API should be transparent
and easy to use, but the whole registration interface is just
ridiculously complicated..."
	- Haavard

The dmaengine and async_tx registration/allocation interface is indeed
needlessly complicated.  This redesign has the following goals:

1/ Simplify reference counting: dma channels are not something one would
   expect to be hotplugged, it should be an exceptional event handled by
   drivers not something clients should be mandated to handle in a
   callback.  The common case channel removal event is 'rmmod <dma driver>',
   which for simplicity should be disallowed if the channel is in use.
2/ Add an interface for requesting exclusive access to a channel
   suitable to device-to-memory users.
3/ Convert all memory-to-memory users over to a common allocator, the goal
   here is to not have competing channel allocation schemes.  The only
   competition should be between device-to-memory exclusive allocations and
   the memory-to-memory usage case where channels are shared between
   multiple "clients".

86f578de5b [CRYPTO] doc: Update api-intro.txt
This patch updates the list of transforms we support and clarifies that
the Block Ciphers interface in fact supports all ciphers including stream
ciphers.

It also removes the obsolete Configuration Notes section and adds the
linux-crypto mailing list as the primary bug reporting address.

Finally it documents the fact that setkey should only be called from
user context.

58e40308f3 [CRYPTO] doc: Fix typo in hash example
there is a tiny bug in Documentation/crypto/api-intro.txt.
The file has the following example code:

struct scatterlist sg[2];
[...]
if (crypto_hash_digest(&desc, &sg, 2, result))

which does not match the declaration of crypto_hash_digest() in
include/linux/crypto.h.

(static inline int crypto_hash_digest(struct hash_desc *desc,
	struct scatterlist *sg, unsigned int nbytes, u8 *out)

The code in the example passes the address of a pointer (an array actually) as
the second argument, while the function expects the pointer itself.

I have attached a patch to fix this.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
