The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove(). Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant.

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. The driver adapted here suffers from this wrong assumption. Returning -EBUSY if there are still users results in resource leaks and probably a crash. Also further down passing the error code of caam_jr_shutdown() to the caller only results in another error message and has no further consequences compared to returning zero. Still convert the driver to return no value in the remove callback. This also allows to drop caam_jr_platform_shutdown() as the only function called by it now has the same prototype.

The health test result in the current code is only given for the currently processed raw time stamp. This implies to react on the health test error, the result must be checked after each raw time stamp being processed. To avoid this constant checking requirement, any health test error is recorded and stored to be analyzed at a later time, if needed. This change ensures that the power-up test catches any health test error. Without that patch, the power-up health test result is not enforced. The introduced changes are already in use with the user space version of the Jitter RNG.

Currently, the shash API checks the alignment of all message, key, and digest buffers against the algorithm's declared alignmask, and for any unaligned buffers it falls back to manually aligned temporary buffers. This is virtually useless, however. In the case of the message buffer, cryptographic hash functions internally operate on fixed-size blocks, so implementations end up needing to deal with byte-aligned data anyway because the length(s) passed to ->update might not be divisible by the block size. Word-alignment of the message can theoretically be helpful for CRCs, like what was being done in crc32c-sparc64. But in practice it's better for the algorithms to use unaligned accesses or align the message themselves. A similar argument applies to the key and digest. In any case, no shash algorithms actually set a nonzero alignmask anymore. Therefore, remove support for it from shash. The benefit is that all the code to handle "misaligned" buffers in the shash API goes away, reducing the overhead of the shash API.

The xcbc template is setting its alignmask to that of its underlying 'cipher'. Yet, it doesn't care itself about how its inputs and outputs are aligned, which is ostensibly the point of the alignmask. Instead, xcbc actually just uses its alignmask itself to runtime-align certain fields in its tfm and desc contexts appropriately for its underlying cipher. That is almost entirely pointless too, though, since xcbc is already using the cipher API functions that handle alignment themselves, and few ciphers set a nonzero alignmask anyway. Also, even without runtime alignment, an alignment of at least 4 bytes can be guaranteed. Thus, at best this code is optimizing for the rare case of ciphers that set an alignmask >= 7, at the cost of hurting the common cases. Therefore, this patch removes the manual alignment code from xcbc and makes it stop setting an alignmask.
