xxhash is currently implemented as a self-contained module in /lib.
This patch enables that module to be used as part of the generic kernel
crypto framework. It adds a simple wrapper to the 64bit version.

I've also added test vectors (with help from Nick Terrell). The upstream
xxhash code is tested by running hashing operation on random 222 byte
data with seed values of 0 and a prime number. The upstream test
suite can be found at https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash/blob/cf46e0c/xxhsum.c#L664

Essentially hashing is run on data of length 0,1,14,222 with the
aforementioned seed values 0 and prime 2654435761. The particular random
222 byte string was provided to me by Nick Terrell by reading
/dev/random and the checksums were calculated by the upstream xxsum
utility with the following bash script:

dd if=/dev/random of=TEST_VECTOR bs=1 count=222

for a in 0 1; do
	for l in 0 1 14 222; do
		for s in 0 2654435761; do
			echo algo $a length $l seed $s;
			head -c $l TEST_VECTOR | ~/projects/kernel/xxHash/xxhsum -H$a -s$s
		done
	done
done

This produces output as follows:

algo 0 length 0 seed 0
02cc5d05  stdin
algo 0 length 0 seed 2654435761
02cc5d05  stdin
algo 0 length 1 seed 0

algo 1 length 1 seed 0
27c3f04c2881203a  stdin
algo 1 length 1 seed 2654435761
4a15ed26415dfe4d  stdin
algo 1 length 14 seed 0

algo 1 length 14 seed 2654435761
ea5f7ddef9a64f80  stdin
algo 1 length 222 seed 0
5f3d3c08ec2bef34  stdin
algo 1 length 222 seed 2654435761
6a9df59664c7ed62  stdin

algo 1 is xx64 variant, algo 0 is the 32 bit variant which is currently
not hooked up.

Changes since v1: 
 * Added SPDX license (Stephan Mueller)
 * Fixed module alias defines (Eric Biggers)
 * Moved the definition of xxhash_generic object to be after LZ4HC (Stephan Mueller)
 * Explained how the test vectors were derived in the commit message (Stephan Mueller)
 * Changed XXHASH64_BLOCK_SIZE to 32 (Eric Biggers)
 * Renamed xxhash64_crypto_ctx to xxhash64_tfm_ctx, also renamed variables of
 this type to have a 't' prefix (Eric Biggers)
 * Removed redundant storage of 'seed' in xxhash64_desc_ctx 
 * Switched to using get/put unaligned when reading the seed value from user
 and when returning a digest. (Eric Biggers)
 * Fixed forgotten initialization step in xxhash64_digest (Eric Biggers)
 * Misc indentation fixes (Eric Biggers)
 * Changed test vectors based on feedback from Nick Terrell

Can you please move xxhash64_setkey() to before xxhash64_init() to match the
order in which the functions get called?

Sometimes people get confused and think that crypto_shash_init() comes before
crypto_shash_setkey(), so it's helpful to keep definitions in order.

> +module_init(xxhash_mod_init);

Can you change this to subsys_initcall?  We're using subsys_initcall for the
generic implementations of crypto algorithms now, so that when other
implementations (e.g. assembly language implementations) are added, the crypto
self-tests can compare them to the generic implementations.

Thanks,

- Eric

Will fix those but wanted to ask you whether it's really necessary to
use get_unaligned in setkey given generic code guarantees the buffer is
going to be aligned. E.g. wouldn't cpu_to_le64(*(u64 *)key)) be
"cheaper"? In any case this is a minor point but just want to be sure I
have correctly understood the generic code?

The generic code only aligns the buffer to the .cra_alignmask set in the
shash_alg, which in this case is 0, so the buffer is not aligned.

I don't recommend setting an alignmask, since it's more efficient to use the
unaligned access helpers.  The code in lib/xxhash.c already uses them.
