Severity: wishlist
Hello,
somewhere in .36 upstream changed the logic for the internal selftests
of crypto algorithms from: CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_TESTS=y to:
CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS=y
i.e. crypto algorithms now default to not being tested on initialization
against the patterns they provide.
While this might be okay for self-compiled kernels that run on a well
known hardware, I personally think (re)enabling these tests would be a
way safer default for a distribution kernel which runs on lots of
different hardware setups (mostly unknown to those who build the
kernel).
Thanks for your work & best regards
Mario
