eCryptfs uses MD5 for a couple unusual purposes: to "mix" the key into
the IVs for file contents encryption (similar to ESSIV), and to prepend
some key-dependent bytes to the plaintext when encrypting filenames
(which is useless since eCryptfs encrypts the filenames with ECB).
Currently, eCryptfs computes these MD5 hashes using the crypto_shash
API. Update it to instead use the MD5 library API. This is simpler and
faster: the library doesn't require memory allocations, can't fail, and
provides direct access to MD5 without overhead such as indirect calls.
To preserve the existing behavior of eCryptfs support being disabled
when the kernel is booted with "fips=1", make ecryptfs_get_tree() check
fips_enabled itself. Previously it relied on crypto_alloc_shash("md5")
failing. I don't know for sure that this is actually needed; e.g., it
could be argued that eCryptfs's use of MD5 isn't for a security purpose
as far as FIPS is concerned. But this preserves the existing behavior.
Tested by verifying that an existing eCryptfs can still be mounted with
a kernel that has this commit, with all the files matching. Also tested
creating a filesystem with this commit and mounting+reading it without.

Pull ecryptfs fixes from Tyler Hicks:
"Minor code cleanups and new Kconfig option to disable /dev/ecryptfs
The code cleanups fix up W=1 compiler warnings and some unnecessary
checks. The new Kconfig option, defaulting to N, allows the rarely
used eCryptfs kernel to userspace communication channel to be compiled
out. This may be the first step in it being eventually removed."
Hmm. I'm not sure whether these should be called "fixes", and it
probably should have gone in the merge window. But I'll let it slide.

eCryptfs: allow userspace messaging to be disabled
eCryptfs: Fix redundant error check on ecryptfs_find_daemon_by_euid()
ecryptfs: ecryptfs_msg_ctx_alloc_to_free(): remove kfree() redundant null check
eCryptfs: decrypt_pki_encrypted_session_key(): remove kfree() redundant null check
eCryptfs: remove unneeded checks in virt_to_scatterlist()
eCryptfs: Fix -Wmissing-prototypes warnings
eCryptfs: Fix -Wunused-but-set-variable warnings
eCryptfs: initialize payload_len in keystore.c
When the userspace messaging (for the less common case of userspace key
wrap/unwrap via ecryptfsd) is not needed, allow eCryptfs to build with
it removed. This saves on kernel code size and reduces potential attack
surface by removing the /dev/ecryptfs node.

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

This patch fixes the compile error reported at the address:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40292
The problem arises when compiling eCryptfs as built-in and the 'encrypted'
key type as a module. The patch prevents this combination from being set in
the kernel configuration, by fixing the eCryptfs dependencies.

eCryptfs no longer uses a netlink interface to communicate with
ecryptfsd, so NET is not a valid dependency anymore.
MD5 is required and must be built for eCryptfs to be of any use.

So, I compiled a 2.6.31-rc5 kernel with ecryptfs and loaded its module.
When it came time to mount my filesystem, I got this in dmesg, and it
refused to mount:
[93577.776637] Unable to allocate crypto cipher with name [aes]; rc = [-2]
[93577.783280] Error attempting to initialize key TFM cipher with name = [aes]; rc = [-2]
[93577.791183] Error attempting to initialize cipher with name = [aes] and key size = [32]; rc = [-2]
[93577.800113] Error parsing options; rc = [-22]
I figured from the error message that I'd either forgotten to load "aes"
or that my key size was bogus. Neither one of those was the case. In
fact, I was missing the CRYPTO_ECB config option and the 'ecb' module.
Unfortunately, there's no trace of 'ecb' in that error message.
I've done two things to fix this. First, I've modified ecryptfs's
Kconfig entry to select CRYPTO_ECB and CRYPTO_CBC. I also took CRYPTO
out of the dependencies since the 'select' will take care of it for us.
I've also modified the error messages to print a string that should
contain both 'ecb' and 'aes' in my error case. That will give any
future users a chance of finding the right modules and Kconfig options.
I also wonder if we should:
select CRYPTO_AES if !EMBEDDED
since I think most ecryptfs users are using AES like me.
