[gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH] lib/portage/util: fix bundled whirlpool on empty bytestring input

[Thomas Bracht Laumann Jespersen]

The WhirlpoolAdd function did not consider zero-length input, so calls
to update(b'') would produce out-of-bounds errors. This was not covered
by any tests, because the constructor implicitly skipped the call to
update on zero-length input.

Add check for zero-length input to WhirlpoolAdd, and have the Whirlpool
constructor skip calling update() only if arg is None.
