IMA: remove the dependency on CRYPTO_MD5
stable inclusion from stable-5.10.65 commit 34d099a330e78122eb3da35dfd6db860fa8f230f bugzilla: 182361 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4EH3U Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=34d099a330e78122eb3da35dfd6db860fa8f230f -------------------------------- commit 8510505d upstream. MD5 is a weak digest algorithm that shouldn't be used for cryptographic operation. It hinders the efficiency of a patch set that aims to limit the digests allowed for the extended file attribute namely security.ima. MD5 is no longer a requirement for IMA, nor should it be used there. The sole place where we still use the MD5 algorithm inside IMA is setting the ima_hash algorithm to MD5, if the user supplies 'ima_hash=md5' parameter on the command line. With commit ab60368a ("ima: Fallback to the builtin hash algorithm"), setting "ima_hash=md5" fails gracefully when CRYPTO_MD5 is not set: ima: Can not allocate md5 (reason: -2) ima: Allocating md5 failed, going to use default hash algorithm sha256 Remove the CRYPTO_MD5 dependency for IMA.
