[ Upstream commit b6f756726e4dfe75be1883f6a0202dcecdc801ab ]
We should set the additional space to 0 in mpi_resize().
So use kcalloc() instead of kmalloc_array().
In lib/mpi/ec.c:
/****************
* Resize the array of A to NLIMBS. the additional space is cleared
* (set to 0) [done by m_realloc()]
*/
int mpi_resize(MPI a, unsigned nlimbs)
Like the comment of kernel's mpi_resize() said, the additional space
need to be set to 0, but when a->d is not NULL, it does not set.
The kernel's mpi lib is from libgcrypt, the mpi resize in libgcrypt
is _gcry_mpi_resize() which set the additional space to 0.
This bug may cause mpi api which use mpi_resize() get wrong result
under the condition of using the additional space without initiation.
If this condition is not met, the bug would not be triggered.
Currently in kernel, rsa, sm2 and dh use mpi lib, and they works well,
so the bug is not triggered in these cases.
add_points_edwards() use the additional space directly, so it will
get a wrong result.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
