2009-07-14crypto: cryptd - Switch to template create APIHerbert Xu
This patch changes cryptd to use the template->create function instead of alloc in anticipation for the switch to new style ahash algorithms. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-07-14crypto: hash - Remove legacy hash/digest implementaionHerbert Xu
This patch removes the implementation of hash and digest now that no algorithms use them anymore. The interface though will remain until the users are converted across. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-07-08crypto: api - Add crypto_attr_alg2 helperHerbert Xu
This patch adds the helper crypto_attr_alg2 which is similar to crypto_attr_alg but takes an extra frontend argument. This is intended to be used by new style algorithm types such as shash. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-06-18random: Add optional continuous repetition test to entropy store based rngsNeil Horman
FIPS-140 requires that all random number generators implement continuous self tests in which each extracted block of data is compared against the last block for repetition. The ansi_cprng implements such a test, but it would be nice if the hw rng's did the same thing. Obviously its not something thats always needed, but it seems like it would be a nice feature to have on occasion. I've written the below patch which allows individual entropy stores to be flagged as desiring a continuous test to be run on them as is extracted. By default this option is off, but is enabled in the event that fips mode is selected during bootup.

2009-06-02crypto: testmgr - Dynamically allocate xbuf and axbufHerbert Xu
We currently allocate temporary memory that is used for testing statically. This renders the testing engine non-reentrant. As algorithms may nest, i.e., one may construct another in order to carry out a part of its operation, this is unacceptable. For example, it has been reported that an AEAD implementation allocates a cipher in its setkey function, which causes it to fail during testing as the temporary memory is overwritten. This patch replaces the static memory with dynamically allocated buffers. We need a maximum of 16 pages so this slightly increases the chances of an algorithm failing due to memory shortage. However, as testing usually occurs at registration, this shouldn't be a big problem. Reported-by: Shasi Pulijala <spulijala@amcc.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-02-18crypto: api - Fix crypto_alloc_tfm/create_create_tfm return conventionHerbert Xu
This is based on a report and patch by Geert Uytterhoeven. The functions crypto_alloc_tfm and create_create_tfm return a pointer that needs to be adjusted by the caller when successful and otherwise an error value. This means that the caller has to check for the error and only perform the adjustment if the pointer returned is valid. Since all callers want to make the adjustment and we know how to adjust it ourselves, it's much easier to just return adjusted pointer directly. The only caveat is that we have to return a void * instead of struct crypto_tfm *. However, this isn't that bad because both of these functions are for internal use only (by types code like shash.c, not even algorithms code). This patch also moves crypto_alloc_tfm into crypto/internal.h (crypto_create_tfm is already there) to reflect this. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25crypto: api - Rebirth of crypto_alloc_tfmHerbert Xu
This patch reintroduces a completely revamped crypto_alloc_tfm. The biggest change is that we now take two crypto_type objects when allocating a tfm, a frontend and a backend. In fact this simply formalises what we've been doing behind the API's back. For example, as it stands crypto_alloc_ahash may use an actual ahash algorithm or a crypto_hash algorithm. Putting this in the API allows us to do this much more cleanly. The existing types will be converted across gradually. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-08-29crypto: api - Add fips_enable flagNeil Horman
Add the ability to turn FIPS-compliant mode on or off at boot In order to be FIPS compliant, several check may need to be preformed that may be construed as unusefull in a non-compliant mode. This patch allows us to set a kernel flag incating that we are running in a fips-compliant mode from boot up. It also exports that mode information to user space via a sysctl (/proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled). Tested successfully by me.

2008-08-29crypto: api - Use test infrastructureHerbert Xu
This patch makes use of the new testing infrastructure by requiring algorithms to pass a run-time test before they're made available to users. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-08-29crypto: cryptomgr - Add test infrastructureHerbert Xu
This patch moves the newly created alg_test infrastructure into cryptomgr. This shall allow us to use it for testing at algorithm registrations. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-08-29crypto: api - Export crypto_alg_lookup instead of __crypto_alg_lookupHerbert Xu
Since the only user of __crypto_alg_lookup is doing exactly what crypto_alg_lookup does, we can now the latter in lieu of the former. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-07-10[CRYPTO] hash: Add asynchronous hash supportLoc Ho
This patch adds asynchronous hash and digest support. Signed-off-by: Loc Ho <lho@amcc.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] skcipher: Create default givcipher instancesHerbert Xu
This patch makes crypto_alloc_ablkcipher/crypto_grab_skcipher always return algorithms that are capable of generating their own IVs through givencrypt and givdecrypt. Each algorithm may specify its default IV generator through the geniv field. For algorithms that do not set the geniv field, the blkcipher layer will pick a default. Currently it's chainiv for synchronous algorithms and eseqiv for asynchronous algorithms. Note that if these wrappers do not work on an algorithm then that algorithm must specify its own geniv or it can't be used at all. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] scatterwalk: Move scatterwalk.h to linux/cryptoHerbert Xu
The scatterwalk infrastructure is used by algorithms so it needs to move out of crypto for future users that may live in drivers/crypto or asm/*/crypto. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-10-10[CRYPTO] api: Kill crypto_km_typesHerbert Xu
When scatterwalk is built as a module digest.c was broken because it requires the crypto_km_types structure which is in scatterwalk. This patch removes the crypto_km_types structure by encoding the logic into crypto_kmap_type directly. In fact, this even saves a few bytes of code (not to mention the data structure itself) on i386 which is about the only place where it's needed. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-02-07[CRYPTO] api: Allow multiple frontends per backendHerbert Xu
This patch adds support for multiple frontend types for each backend algorithm by passing the type and mask through to the backend type init function. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-02-07[CRYPTO] api: Remove deprecated interfaceHerbert Xu
This patch removes the old cipher interface and related code. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] digest: Remove old HMAC implementationHerbert Xu
This patch removes the old HMAC implementation now that nobody uses it anymore. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] cipher: Added block ciphers for CBC/ECBHerbert Xu
This patch adds two block cipher algorithms, CBC and ECB. These are implemented as templates on top of existing single-block cipher algorithms. They invoke the single-block cipher through the new encrypt_one/decrypt_one interface. This also optimises the in-place encryption and decryption to remove the cost of an IV copy each round. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Feed flag directly to crypto_yieldHerbert Xu
The sleeping flag used to determine whether crypto_yield can actually yield is really a per-operation flag rather than a per-tfm flag. This patch changes crypto_yield to take a flag directly so that we can start using a per-operation flag instead the tfm flag. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] digest: Store temporary digest in tfmHerbert Xu
When the final result location is unaligned, we store the digest in a temporary buffer before copying it to the final location. Currently that buffer sits on the stack. This patch moves it to an area in the tfm, just like the CBC IV buffer. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Added spawnsHerbert Xu
Spawns lock a specific crypto algorithm in place. They can then be used with crypto_spawn_tfm to allocate a tfm for that algorithm. When the base algorithm of a spawn is deregistered, all its spawns will be automatically removed. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Allow algorithm lookup by typeHerbert Xu
This patch also adds the infrastructure to pick an algorithm based on their type. For example, this allows you to select the encryption algorithm "aes", instead of any algorithm registered under the name "aes". For now this is only accessible internally. Eventually it will be made available through crypto_alloc_tfm. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Added event notificationHerbert Xu
This patch adds a notifier chain for algorithm/template registration events. This will be used to register compound algorithms such as cbc(aes). In future this will also be passed onto user-space through netlink. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Add template registrationHerbert Xu
A crypto_template generates a crypto_alg object when given a set of parameters. this patch adds the basic data structure fo templates and code to handle their registration/deregistration. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Split out low-level APIHerbert Xu
The crypto API is made up of the part facing users such as IPsec and the low-level part which is used by cryptographic entities such as algorithms. This patch splits out the latter so that the two APIs are more clearly delineated. As a bonus the low-level API can now be modularised if all algorithms are built as modules. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-01-09[CRYPTO] Allow multiple implementations of the same algorithmHerbert Xu
This is the first step on the road towards asynchronous support in the Crypto API. It adds support for having multiple crypto_alg objects for the same algorithm registered in the system. For example, each device driver would register a crypto_alg object for each algorithm that it supports. While at the same time the user may load software implementations of those same algorithms. Users of the Crypto API may then select a specific implementation by name, or choose any implementation for a given algorithm with the highest priority. The priority field is a 32-bit signed integer. In future it will be possible to modify it from user-space. This also provides a solution to the problem of selecting amongst various AES implementations, that is, aes vs. aes-i586 vs. aes-padlock.

2005-09-01[CRYPTO]: Added CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP flagHerbert Xu
The crypto layer currently uses in_atomic() to determine whether it is allowed to sleep. This is incorrect since spin locks don't always cause in_atomic() to return true. Instead of that, this patch returns to an earlier idea of a per-tfm flag which determines whether sleeping is allowed. Unlike the earlier version, the default is to not allow sleeping. This ensures that no existing code can break. As usual, this flag may either be set through crypto_alloc_tfm(), or just before a specific crypto operation.

2005-07-06[CRYPTO] Ensure cit_iv is aligned correctlyHerbert Xu
This patch ensures that cit_iv is aligned according to cra_alignmask by allocating it as part of the tfm structure. As a side effect the crypto layer will also guarantee that the tfm ctx area has enough space to be aligned by cra_alignmask. This allows us to remove the extra space reservation from the Padlock driver. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-07-06[CRYPTO] Add support for low-level multi-block operationsHerbert Xu
This patch adds hooks for cipher algorithms to implement multi-block ECB/CBC operations directly. This is expected to provide significant performance boots to the VIA Padlock. It could also be used for improving software implementations such as AES where operating on multiple blocks at a time may enable certain optimisations.

2005-05-23[CRYPTO]: Only reschedule if !in_atomic()Herbert Xu
The netlink gfp_any() problem made me double-check the uses of in_softirq() in crypto/*. It seems to me that we should be checking in_atomic() instead of in_softirq() in crypto_yield. Otherwise people calling the crypto ops with spin locks held or preemption disabled will get burnt, right? Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
