fscrypt doesn't use the CTR mode of operation for anything, so there's
no need to select CRYPTO_CTR. It was added by commit 71dea01ea2
("ext4 crypto: require CONFIG_CRYPTO_CTR if ext4 encryption is
enabled"). But, I've been unable to identify the arm64 crypto bug it
was supposedly working around.
I suspect the issue was seen only on some old Android device kernel
(circa 3.10?). So if the fix wasn't mistaken, the real bug is probably
already fixed. Or maybe it was actually a bug in a non-upstream crypto
driver.
So, remove the dependency. If it turns out there's actually still a
bug, we'll fix it properly.

fscrypt provides facilities to use different encryption algorithms which
are selectable by userspace when setting the encryption policy. Currently,
only AES-256-XTS for file contents and AES-256-CBC-CTS for file names are
implemented. This is a clear case of kernel offers the mechanism and
userspace selects a policy. Similar to what dm-crypt and ecryptfs have.
This patch adds support for using AES-128-CBC for file contents and
AES-128-CBC-CTS for file name encryption. To mitigate watermarking
attacks, IVs are generated using the ESSIV algorithm. While AES-CBC is
actually slightly less secure than AES-XTS from a security point of view,
there is more widespread hardware support. Using AES-CBC gives us the
acceptable performance while still providing a moderate level of security
for persistent storage.
Especially low-powered embedded devices with crypto accelerators such as
CAAM or CESA often only support AES-CBC. Since using AES-CBC over AES-XTS
is basically thought of a last resort, we use AES-128-CBC over AES-256-CBC
since it has less encryption rounds and yields noticeable better
performance starting from a file size of just a few kB.

That way we can get rid of the direct dependency on CONFIG_BLOCK.

SHA256 and ENCRYPTED_KEYS are not needed. CTR shouldn't be needed
either, but I left it for now because it was intentionally added by
commit 71dea01ea2 ("ext4 crypto: require CONFIG_CRYPTO_CTR if ext4
encryption is enabled"). So it sounds like there may be a dependency
problem elsewhere, which I have not been able to identify specifically,
that must be solved before CTR can be removed.

This patch adds the renamed functions moved from the f2fs crypto files.
1. definitions for per-file encryption used by ext4 and f2fs.
2. crypto.c for encrypt/decrypt functions
a. IO preparation:
- fscrypt_get_ctx / fscrypt_release_ctx
b. before IOs:
- fscrypt_encrypt_page
- fscrypt_decrypt_page
- fscrypt_zeroout_range
c. after IOs:
- fscrypt_decrypt_bio_pages
- fscrypt_pullback_bio_page
- fscrypt_restore_control_page
3. policy.c supporting context management.
a. For ioctls:
- fscrypt_process_policy
- fscrypt_get_policy
b. For context permission
- fscrypt_has_permitted_context
- fscrypt_inherit_context
4. keyinfo.c to handle permissions
- fscrypt_get_encryption_info

5. fname.c to support filename encryption
a. general wrapper functions
- fscrypt_fname_disk_to_usr
- fscrypt_fname_usr_to_disk
- fscrypt_setup_filename
- fscrypt_free_filename
b. specific filename handling functions
