>From 2/2:
"""
There are quite a number of occurrences in the kernel of the pattern
if (dst != src)
memcpy(dst, src, walk.total % AES_BLOCK_SIZE);
crypto_xor(dst, final, walk.total % AES_BLOCK_SIZE);
or
crypto_xor(keystream, src, nbytes);
memcpy(dst, keystream, nbytes);
where crypto_xor() is preceded or followed by a memcpy() invocation
that is only there because crypto_xor() uses its output parameter as
one of the inputs.
"""
Patch #1 is a preparatory patch, which is split off for ease of review.
Patch #2 updates all occurrences of crypto_xor() involving a memcpy() to
use a new API function crypto_xor_cpy() which combines the two operations.
v2: - keep existing crypto_xor() as-is, and add crypto_xor_cpy() for the
cases where a redundant memcpy() can be eliminated.
Ard Biesheuvel (2):
crypto/algapi - use separate dst and src operands for __crypto_xor()
crypto/algapi - make crypto_xor() take separate dst and src arguments
