Minimal supplement to upstream Kernel Self Protection Project changes. Features already provided by SELinux + Yama and archs other than multiarch arm64 / x86_64 aren't in scope. Only tags have stable history. Shared IRC channel with KSPP: irc.libera.chat #linux-hardening

Currently, crypto4xx CFB and OFB AES ciphers are
failing testmgr's test vectors.
|cfb-aes-ppc4xx encryption overran dst buffer on test vector 3, cfg="in-place"
|ofb-aes-ppc4xx encryption overran dst buffer on test vector 1, cfg="in-place"
This is because of a very subtile "bug" in the hardware that
gets indirectly mentioned in 18.1.3.5 Encryption/Decryption
of the hardware spec:
the OFB and CFB modes for AES are listed there as operation
modes for >>> "Block ciphers" <<<. Which kind of makes sense,
but we would like them to be considered as stream ciphers just
like the CTR mode.
To workaround this issue and stop the hardware from causing
"overran dst buffer" on crypttexts that are not a multiple
of 16 (AES_BLOCK_SIZE), we force the driver to use the scatter
buffers as the go-between.
As a bonus this patch also kills redundant pd_uinfo->num_gd
and pd_uinfo->num_sd setters since the value has already been
set before.

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.
