The x86_64 implementation of Poly1305 produces the wrong result on some inputs because poly1305_4block_avx2() incorrectly assumes that when partially reducing the accumulator, the bits carried from limb 'd4' to limb 'h0' fit in a 32-bit integer. This is true for poly1305-generic which processes only one block at a time. However, it's not true for the AVX2 implementation, which processes 4 blocks at a time and therefore can produce intermediate limbs about 4x larger. Fix it by making the relevant calculations use 64-bit arithmetic rather than 32-bit. Note that most of the carries already used 64-bit arithmetic, but the d4 -> h0 carry was different for some reason. To be safe I also made the same change to the corresponding SSE2 code, though that only operates on 1 or 2 blocks at a time. I don't think it's really needed for poly1305_block_sse2(), but it doesn't hurt because it's already x86_64 code. It *might* be needed for poly1305_2block_sse2(), but overflows aren't easy to reproduce there. This bug was originally detected by my patches that improve testmgr to fuzz algorithms against their generic implementation. But also add a test vector which reproduces it directly (in the AVX2 case). Fixes: |

README
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.
