gcc warns that the length for the extra unaligned data in the hash function may be used unaligned. In theory this could happen if we pass a zero-length sg_list, or if sg_is_last() was never true: In file included from drivers/crypto/stm32/stm32-hash.c:23: drivers/crypto/stm32/stm32-hash.c: In function 'stm32_hash_one_request': include/uapi/linux/kernel.h:12:49: error: 'ncp' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] #define __KERNEL_DIV_ROUND_UP(n, d) (((n) + (d) - 1) / (d)) Neither of these can happen in practice, so the warning is harmless. However while trying to suppress the warning, I noticed multiple problems with that code: - On big-endian kernels, we byte-swap the data like we do for register accesses, however this is a data stream and almost certainly needs to use a single writesl() instead of series of writel() to give the correct hash. - If the length is not a multiple of four bytes, we skip the last word entirely, since we write the truncated length using stm32_hash_set_nblw(). - If we change the code to round the length up rather than down, the last bytes contain stale data, so it needs some form of padding. This tries to address all four problems, by correctly initializing the length to zero, using endian-safe copy functions, adding zero-padding and passing the padded length. I have done no testing on this patch, so please review carefully and if possible test with an unaligned length and big-endian kernel builds.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
