Fork of reMarkable kernel https://github.com/reMarkable/linux

gcc warns that the length for the extra unaligned data in the hash
function may be used unaligned. In theory this could happen if
we pass a zero-length sg_list, or if sg_is_last() was never true:
In file included from drivers/crypto/stm32/stm32-hash.c:23:
drivers/crypto/stm32/stm32-hash.c: In function 'stm32_hash_one_request':
include/uapi/linux/kernel.h:12:49: error: 'ncp' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
#define __KERNEL_DIV_ROUND_UP(n, d) (((n) + (d) - 1) / (d))
Neither of these can happen in practice, so the warning is harmless.
However while trying to suppress the warning, I noticed multiple
problems with that code:
- On big-endian kernels, we byte-swap the data like we do for
register accesses, however this is a data stream and almost
certainly needs to use a single writesl() instead of series
of writel() to give the correct hash.
- If the length is not a multiple of four bytes, we skip the
last word entirely, since we write the truncated length
using stm32_hash_set_nblw().
- If we change the code to round the length up rather than
down, the last bytes contain stale data, so it needs some
form of padding.
This tries to address all four problems, by correctly
initializing the length to zero, using endian-safe copy
functions, adding zero-padding and passing the padded length.
I have done no testing on this patch, so please review
carefully and if possible test with an unaligned length
and big-endian kernel builds.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
