mainlining shenanigans
0469dede0e
ecdsa_set_pub_key() makes an u64 pointer at 1 byte offset of the key.
This results in an unaligned u64 pointer. This pointer is passed to
ecc_swap_digits() which assumes natural alignment.
This causes a kernel crash on an armv7 platform:
[ 0.409022] Unhandled fault: alignment exception (0x001) at 0xc2a0a6a9
...
[ 0.416982] PC is at ecdsa_set_pub_key+0xdc/0x120
...
[ 0.491492] Backtrace:
[ 0.492059] [<c07c266c>] (ecdsa_set_pub_key) from [<c07c75d4>] (test_akcipher_one+0xf4/0x6c0)
Handle unaligned input buffer in ecc_swap_digits() by replacing
be64_to_cpu() to get_unaligned_be64(). Change type of in pointer to
void to reflect it doesn’t necessarily need to be aligned.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
