Horia Geantă c19650d6ea crypto: caam - fix DMA mapping of stack memory
Roland reports the following issue and provides a root cause analysis:

"On a v4.19 i.MX6 system with IMA and CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG enabled, a
warning is generated when accessing files on a filesystem for which IMA
measurement is enabled:

    ------------[ cut here ]------------

    ---[ end trace 3455789a10e3aefd ]---

The cause is that the struct ahash_request *req is created as a
stack-local variable up in the stack (presumably somewhere in the IMA
implementation), then passed down into the CAAM driver, which tries to
dma_single_map the req->result (indirectly via map_seq_out_ptr_result)
in order to make that buffer available for the CAAM to store the result
of the following hash operation.

The calling code doesn't know how req will be used by the CAAM driver,
and there could be other such occurrences where stack memory is passed
down to the CAAM driver. Therefore we should rather fix this issue in
the CAAM driver where the requirements are known."

Fix this problem by:
-instructing the crypto engine to write the final hash in state->caam_ctx
-subsequently memcpy-ing the final hash into req->result

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
