[PATCH 5.17 50/75] dm crypt: make printing of the key constant-time

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 567dd8f34560fa221a6343729474536aa7ede4fd upstream.

The device mapper dm-crypt target is using scnprintf("%02x", cc->key[i]) to
report the current key to userspace. However, this is not a constant-time
operation and it may leak information about the key via timing, via cache
access patterns or via the branch predictor.

Change dm-crypt's key printing to use "%c" instead of "%02x". Also
introduce hex2asc() that carefully avoids any branching or memory
accesses when converting a number in the range 0 ... 15 to an ascii
character.
