Merge Linus master into drm-next
The merge is clean, but the arm build fails afterwards, due to API changes in the regulator tree. I've included the patch into the merge to fix the build. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>

+
+ <para>
+ The kernel crypto API has an internal structure where a cipher
+ implementation may use many layers and indirections. This section
+ shall help to clarify how the kernel crypto API uses
+ various components to implement the complete cipher.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The following subsections explain the internal structure based
+ on existing cipher implementations. The first section addresses
+ the most complex scenario where all other scenarios form a logical
+ subset.
+ </para>
+
+ <sect2><title>Generic AEAD Cipher Structure</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The following ASCII art decomposes the kernel crypto API layers
+ when using the AEAD cipher with the automated IV generation. The
+ shown example is used by the IPSEC layer.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For other use cases of AEAD ciphers, the ASCII art applies as
+ well, but the caller may not use the GIVCIPHER interface. In
+ this case, the caller must generate the IV.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The depicted example decomposes the AEAD cipher of GCM(AES) based
+ on the generic C implementations (gcm.c, aes-generic.c, ctr.c,
+ ghash-generic.c, seqiv.c). The generic implementation serves as an
+ example showing the complete logic of the kernel crypto API.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It is possible that some streamlined cipher implementations (like
+ AES-NI) provide implementations merging aspects which in the view
+ of the kernel crypto API cannot be decomposed into layers any more.
+ In case of the AES-NI implementation, the CTR mode, the GHASH
+ implementation and the AES cipher are all merged into one cipher
+ implementation registered with the kernel crypto API. In this case,
+ the concept described by the following ASCII art applies too. However,
+ the decomposition of GCM into the individual sub-components
+ by the kernel crypto API is not done any more.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Each block in the following ASCII art is an independent cipher
+ instance obtained from the kernel crypto API. Each block
+ is accessed by the caller or by other blocks using the API functions
+ defined by the kernel crypto API for the cipher implementation type.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The blocks below indicate the cipher type as well as the specific
+ logic implemented in the cipher.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The ASCII art picture also indicates the call structure, i.e. who
+ calls which component. The arrows point to the invoked block
+ where the caller uses the API applicable to the cipher type
+ specified for the block.

+ To interact with the kernel crypto API, a socket must be

+ <para>
+ Just like the in-kernel operation of the kernel crypto API, the user
+ space interface allows the cipher operation in-place. That means that
+ the input buffer used for the send/write system call and the output
+ buffer used by the read/recv system call may be one and the same.
+ This is of particular interest for symmetric cipher operations where a

+
+ <sect1><title>Message Digest API</title>
+ <para>
+ The message digest type to be used for the cipher operation is

+ interface that explains how the key can be set for a keyed message
+ digest.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>

+ should be processed with the message digest. The send system call
+ allows the following flags to be specified:
+ </para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ MSG_MORE: If this flag is set, the send system call acts like a

+ digest from the kernel crypto API. If the buffer is too small for the
+ message digest, the flag MSG_TRUNC is set by the kernel.

+ In addition to the read/recv and send/write system call handling
+ to send and retrieve data subject to the cipher operation, a consumer
+ also needs to set the additional information for the cipher operation.
+ This additional information is set using the setsockopt system call
+ that must be invoked with the file descriptor of the open cipher
+ (i.e. the file descriptor returned by the accept system call).
