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 reStructuredText 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.

A potential deadlock was reported with the config file at
https://web.archive.org/web/20240522052129/https://0x0.st/XPN_.txt
In this particular configuration, the deadlock doesn't exist because
the warning triggered at a point before modules were even available.
However, the deadlock can be real because any module loaded would
invoke async_synchronize_full.
The issue is spurious for software crypto algorithms which aren't
themselves involved in async probing. However, it would be hard to
avoid for a PCI crypto driver using async probing.
In this particular call trace, the problem is easily avoided because
the only reason the module is being requested during probing is the
add_early_randomness call in the hwrng core. This feature is
vestigial since there is now a kernel thread dedicated to doing
exactly this.
So remove add_early_randomness as it is no longer needed.

Prevent ecc_digits_from_bytes from reading too many bytes from the input
byte array in case an insufficient number of bytes is provided to fill the
output digit array of ndigits. Therefore, initialize the most significant
digits with 0 to avoid trying to read too many bytes later on. Convert the
function into a regular function since it is getting too big for an inline
function.
If too many bytes are provided on the input byte array the extra bytes
are ignored since the input variable 'ndigits' limits the number of digits
that will be filled.

Using completion_done to determine whether the caller has gone
away only works after a complete call. Furthermore it's still
possible that the caller has not yet called wait_for_completion,
resulting in another potential UAF.
Fix this by making the caller use cancel_work_sync and then freeing
the memory safely.

Set up sysfs for the Atmel SHA204a. Provide the content of the otp zone as
an attribute field on the sysfs entry. Thereby make sure that if the chip
is locked, not connected or trouble with the i2c bus, the sysfs device is
not set up. This is mostly already handled in atmel-i2c.

Provide a read function reading the otp zone. The otp zone can be used for
storing serial numbers. The otp zone, as also data zone, are only
accessible if the chip was locked before. Locking the chip is a post
production customization and has to be done manually i.e. not by this
driver. Without this step the chip is pretty much not usable, where
putting or not putting data into the otp zone is optional.

Make the memory read function name more specific to the read memory zone.
The Atmel SHA204 chips provide config, otp and data zone. The implemented
read function in fact only reads some fields in zone config. The function
renaming allows for a uniform naming scheme when reading from other memory
zones.

There is a confusing pattern in the kernel to use a variable named 'timeout' to
store the result of wait_for_completion_timeout() causing patterns like:
timeout = wait_for_completion_timeout(...)
if (!timeout) return -ETIMEDOUT;
with all kinds of permutations. Use 'time_left' as a variable to make the code
self explaining.

iMX8ULP have a secure-enclave hardware IP called EdgeLock Enclave(ELE),
that control access to caam controller's register page, i.e., page0.
At all, if the ELE release access to CAAM controller's register page,
it will release to secure-world only.
Clocks are turned on automatically for iMX8ULP. There exists the caam
clock gating bit, but it is not advised to gate the clock at linux, as
optee-os or any other entity might be using it.
