Continuing from this commit: 52f5684c8e1e
("kernel: use macros from compiler.h instead of __attribute__((...))")I submitted 4 total patches. They are part of task I've taken up to
increase compiler portability in the kernel. I've cleaned up the
subsystems under /kernel /mm /block and /security, this patch targets
/crypto.There is which provides macros for various gcc specific
constructs. Eg: __weak for __attribute__((weak)). I've cleaned all
instances of gcc specific attributes with the right macros for the crypto
subsystem.I had to make one additional change into compiler-gcc.h for the case when
one wants to use this: __attribute__((aligned) and not specify an alignment
factor. From the gcc docs, this will result in the largest alignment for
that data type on the target machine so I've named the macro
__aligned_largest. Please advise if another name is more appropriate.Signed-off-by: Gideon Israel Dsouza

Add key-agreement protocol primitives (kpp) API which allows to
implement primitives required by protocols such as DH and ECDH.
The API is composed mainly by the following functions
* set_secret() - It allows the user to set his secret, also
referred to as his private key, along with the parameters
known to both parties involved in the key-agreement session.
* generate_public_key() - It generates the public key to be sent to
the other counterpart involved in the key-agreement session. The
function has to be called after set_params() and set_secret()
* generate_secret() - It generates the shared secret for the sessionOther functions such as init() and exit() are provided for allowing
cryptographic hardware to be inizialized properly before useSigned-off-by: Salvatore Benedetto
