  • Commit 5d26a105b5a7 ("crypto: prefix module autoloading with "crypto-"")
    changed the automatic module loading when requesting crypto algorithms
    to prefix all module requests with "crypto-". This requires all crypto
    modules to have a crypto specific module alias even if their file name
    would otherwise match the requested crypto algorithm.

    Even though commit 5d26a105b5a7 added those aliases for a vast amount of
    modules, it was missing a few. Add the required MODULE_ALIAS_CRYPTO
    annotations to those files to make them get loaded automatically, again.
    This fixes, e.g., requesting 'ecb(blowfish-generic)', which used to work
    with kernels v3.18 and below.

    Also change MODULE_ALIAS() lines to MODULE_ALIAS_CRYPTO(). The former
    won't work for crypto modules any more.

  • Initialization of cra_list is currently mixed, most ciphers initialize this
    field and most shashes do not. Initialization however is not needed at all
    since cra_list is initialized/overwritten in __crypto_register_alg() with
    list_add(). Therefore perform cleanup to remove all unneeded initializations
    of this field in 'crypto/'.

  • This fixes the broken autoloading of the corresponding twofish assembler
    ciphers on x86 and x86_64 if they are available. The module name of the
    generic implementation was in conflict with the alias in the assembler
    modules. The generic twofish c implementation is renamed to
    twofish_generic according to the other algorithms with assembler
    implementations and an module alias is added for 'twofish'. You can now
    load 'twofish' giving you the best implementation by priority,
    'twofish-generic' to get the c implementation or 'twofish-asm' to get
    the assembler version of cipher.
