As said by Linus:
A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
Otherwise it's actively misleading.
In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
caller wants.
In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.
The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.
Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.
The renaming is done by using the command sequence:
git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'
followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

All crypto_stats functions use the struct xxx_request for feeding stats,
but in some case this structure could already be freed.
For fixing this, the needed parameters (len and alg) will be stored
before the request being executed.

As of now, crypto_kpp_maxsize() can not be reached without successfully
setting the key for the transformation. kpp algorithm implementations
check if the key was set and then return the output buffer size
required for the given key.
Change the return type to unsigned int and always assume that this
function is called after a successful setkey of the transformation.
kpp algorithm implementations will remove the check if key is not NULL
and directly return the max size.

Add key-agreement protocol primitives (kpp) API which allows to
implement primitives required by protocols such as DH and ECDH.
The API is composed mainly by the following functions
* set_secret() - It allows the user to set his secret, also
referred to as his private key, along with the parameters
known to both parties involved in the key-agreement session.
* generate_public_key() - It generates the public key to be sent to
the other counterpart involved in the key-agreement session. The
function has to be called after set_params() and set_secret()
* generate_secret() - It generates the shared secret for the session
Other functions such as init() and exit() are provided for allowing
cryptographic hardware to be inizialized properly before use
