c4ca2b0b25 crypto: engine - Handle the kthread worker using the new API
Use the new API to create and destroy the crypto engine kthread
worker. The API hides some implementation details.

In particular, kthread_create_worker() allocates and initializes
struct kthread_worker. It runs the kthread the right way
and stores task_struct into the worker structure.

kthread_destroy_worker() flushes all pending works, stops
the kthread and frees the structure.

This patch does not change the existing behavior except for
dynamically allocating struct kthread_worker and storing
only the pointer of this structure.

It is compile tested only because I did not find an easy
way how to run the code. Well, it should be pretty safe
given the nature of the change.

3989144f86 kthread: kthread worker API cleanup
A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.

The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues.  Each
worker has a dedicated kthread.  It runs a generic function that process
queued works.  It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.

This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:

__init_kthread_worker()		-> __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker()		-> kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work()		-> kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work()		-> kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work()		-> kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work()		-> kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker()		-> kthread_flush_worker()

Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.

Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:

  + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
    aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
    stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".

  + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros

  + init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
    functions. It looks much better if all the functions
    use the same scheme.

  + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
    be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
    to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
    functions use the same naming scheme.

  + there are several precedents for such init() function
    names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
    jump_label_init_type(),  regmap_init_mmio_clk(),

  + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

4cba7cf025 crypto: engine - permit to enqueue ashash_request
The current crypto engine allow only ablkcipher_request to be enqueued.
Thus denying any use of it for hardware that also handle hash algo.

This patch modify the API for allowing to enqueue ciphers and hash.

Since omap-aes/omap-des are the only users, this patch also convert them
to the new cryptoengine API.

735d37b542 crypto: engine - Introduce the block request crypto engine framework
Now block cipher engines need to implement and maintain their own queue/thread
for processing requests, moreover currently helpers provided for only the queue
itself (in crypto_enqueue_request() and crypto_dequeue_request()) but they
don't help with the mechanics of driving the hardware (things like running the
request immediately, DMA map it or providing a thread to process the queue in)
even though a lot of that code really shouldn't vary that much from device to
device.

Thus this patch provides a mechanism for pushing requests to the hardware
as it becomes free that drivers could use. And this framework is patterned
on the SPI code and has worked out well there.
