This patch swaps the role of libcrc32c and crc32c. Previously
the implementation was in libcrc32c and crc32c was a wrapper.
Now the code is in crc32c and libcrc32c just calls the crypto
layer.
The reason for the change is to tap into the algorithm selection
capability of the crypto API so that optimised implementations
such as the one utilising Intel's CRC32C instruction can be
used where available.

This patch allows shash algorithms to be used through the old hash
interface. This is a transitional measure so we can convert the
underlying algorithms to shash before converting the users across.

This patch makes /proc/crypto call the type-specific show function
if one is present before calling the legacy show functions for
cipher/digest/compress. This allows us to reuse the type values
for those legacy types. In particular, hash and digest will share
one type value while shash is phased in as the default hash type.

It is often useful to save the partial state of a hash function
so that it can be used as a base for two or more computations.
The most prominent example is HMAC where all hashes start from
a base determined by the key. Having an import/export interface
means that we only have to compute that base once rather than
for each message.

The shash interface replaces the current synchronous hash interface.
It improves over hash in two ways. Firstly shash is reentrant,
meaning that the same tfm may be used by two threads simultaneously
as all hashing state is stored in a local descriptor.
The other enhancement is that shash no longer takes scatter list
entries. This is because shash is specifically designed for
synchronous algorithms and as such scatter lists are unnecessary.
All existing hash users will be converted to shash once the
algorithms have been completely converted.
There is also a new finup function that combines update with final.
This will be extended to ahash once the algorithm conversion is
done.
This is also the first time that an algorithm type has their own
registration function. Existing algorithm types will be converted
to this way in due course.

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.

The type exit function needs to undo any allocations done by the type
init function. However, the type init function may differ depending
on the upper-level type of the transform (e.g., a crypto_blkcipher
instantiated as a crypto_ablkcipher).
So we need to move the exit function out of the lower-level
structure and into crypto_tfm itself.
As it stands this is a no-op since nobody uses exit functions at
all. However, all cases where a lower-level type is instantiated
as a different upper-level type (such as blkcipher as ablkcipher)
will be converted such that they allocate the underlying transform
and use that instead of casting (e.g., crypto_ablkcipher casted
into crypto_blkcipher). That will need to use a different exit
function depending on the upper-level type.
This patch also allows the type init/exit functions to call (or not)
cra_init/cra_exit instead of always calling them from the top level.

This is a patch that was sent to me by Jarod Wilson, marking off my
outstanding todo to allow the ansi cprng to set/reset the DT counter value in a
cprng instance. Currently crytpo_rng_reset accepts a seed byte array which is
interpreted by the ansi_cprng as a {V key} tuple. This patch extends that tuple
to now be {V key DT}, with DT an optional value during reset. This patch also
fixes a bug we noticed in which the offset of the key area of the seed is
started at DEFAULT_PRNG_KSZ rather than DEFAULT_BLK_SZ as it should be.

Resetting the control word is quite expensive. Fortunately this
isn't an issue for the common operations such as CBC and ECB as
the whole operation is done through a single call. However, modes
such as LRW and XTS have to call padlock over and over again for
one operation which really hurts if each call resets the control
word.
This patch uses an idea by Sebastian Siewior to store the last
control word used on a CPU and only reset the control word if
that changes.
Note that any task switch automatically resets the control word
so we only need to be accurate with regard to the stored control
word when no task switches occur.

The FIPS specification requires that should self test for any supported
crypto algorithm fail during operation in fips mode, we need to prevent
the use of any crypto functionality until such time as the system can
be re-initialized. Seems like the best way to handle that would be
to panic the system if we were in fips mode and failed a self test.
This patch implements that functionality. I've built and run it
successfully.

SEC version 2.1 and above adds the capability to do the IPSec ICV
memcmp in h/w. Results of the cmp are written back in the descriptor
header, along with the done status. A new callback is added that
checks these ICCR bits instead of performing the memcmp on the core,
and is enabled by h/w capability.
Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@freescale.com>
After testing on different parts, another condition was added
before using h/w auth check because different
SEC revisions require different handling.
The SEC 3.0 allows a more flexible link table where
the auth data can span separate link table entries.
The SEC 2.4/2.1 does not support this case.
So a test was added in the decrypt routine
for a fragmented case; the h/w auth check is disallowed for
revisions not having the extent in the link table;
in this case the hw auth check is done by software.
A portion of a previous change for SEC 3.0 link table handling
was removed since it became dead code with the hw auth check supported.
This seems to be the best compromise for using hw auth check
on supporting SEC revisions; it keeps the link table logic
simpler for the fragmented cases.

Yes, I was wrong with the patch: HIFN does not support 64-bit addresses
afaics.
Attached patch should not allow HIFN to be registered on 64-bit arch, so
crypto layer will fallback to the software algorithms.

there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28:
config X86_PTRACE_BTS
bool "Branch Trace Store"
it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into
a new task without clearing it.
Fixes exist but they came too late:
c5dee61: x86, bts: memory accounting
bf53de9: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling
and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not
tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and
reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS
facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code.

When deleting an edac device, we have to wait for its edac_dev.work to be
completed before deleting the whole edac_dev structure. Since we have no
idea which work in current edac_poller's workqueue is the work we are
conerned about, we wait for all work in the edac_poller's workqueue to be
proceseed. This is done via flush_cpu_workqueue() which inserts a
wq_barrier into the tail of the workqueue and then sleeping on the
completion of this wq_barrier. The edac_poller will wake up sleepers when
it is found.
EDAC core creates only one kernel worker thread, edac_poller, to run the
works of all current edac devices. They share the same callback function
of edac_device_workq_function(), which would grab the mutex of
device_ctls_mutex first before it checks the device. This is exactly
where edac_poller and rmmod would have a great chance to deadlock.
In below call trace of rmmod > ... >
edac_device_del_device >
edac_device_workq_teardown > flush_workqueue > flush_cpu_workqueue,
device_ctls_mutex would have already been grabbed by
edac_device_del_device(). So, on one hand rmmod would sleep on the
completion of a wq_barrier, holding device_ctls_mutex; on the other hand
edac_poller would be blocked on the same mutex when it's running any one
of works of existing edac evices(Note, this edac_dev.work is likely to be
totally irrelevant to the one that is being removed right now)and never
would have a chance to run the work of above wq_barrier to wake rmmod up.
edac_device_workq_teardown() should not be called within the critical
region of device_ctls_mutex. Just like is done in edac_pci_del_device()
and edac_mc_del_mc(), where edac_pci_workq_teardown() and
edac_mc_workq_teardown() are called after related mutex are released.
Moreover, an edac_dev.work should check first if it is being removed. If
this is the case, then it should bail out immediately. Since not all of
existing edac devices are to be removed, this "shutting flag" should be
contained to edac device being removed. The current edac_dev.op_state can
be used to serve this purpose.
The original deadlock problem and the solution have been witnessed and
tested on actual hardware. Without the solution, rmmod an edac driver
would result in below deadlock:
root@localhost:/root> rmmod mv64x60_edac

Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
commit 2d42244ae71d6c7b0884b5664cf2eda30fb2ae68 (clocksource:
introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only
available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time.
The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created
with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes
the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted
either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes.
Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the
posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.

I think I might have a logical explanation why the system:

might hang upon resuming, OTOH it should have likely hanged each and every time.
(1) possible deadlock in microcode_resume_cpu() if either 'if' section is
taken;
(2) now, I don't see it in spec. and can't experimentally verify it (newer
ucodes don't seem to be available for my Core2duo)... but logically-wise, I'd
think that when read upon resuming, the 'microcode revision' (MSR 0x8B) should
be back to its original one (we need to reload ucode anyway so it doesn't seem
logical if a cpu doesn't drop the version)... if so, the comparison with
memcmp() for the full 'struct cpu_signature' is wrong... and that's how one of
the aforementioned 'if' sections might have been triggered - leading to a
deadlock.
Obviously, in my tests I simulated loading/resuming with the ucode of the same
version (just to see that the file is loaded/re-loaded upon resuming) so this
issue has never popped up.
I'd appreciate if someone with an appropriate system might give a try to the
2nd patch (titled "fix a comparison && deadlock...").
In any case, the deadlock situation is a must-have fix.

Since v9ses->uid is unsigned, it would seem better to use simple_strtoul that
simple_strtol.
A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)
// <smpl>
@r2@
long e;
position p;
@@
e = simple_strtol@p(...)
@@
position p != r2.p;
type T;
T e;
@@
e =
- simple_strtol@p
+ simple_strtoul
(...)
// </smpl>

d_iname is rubbish for long file names.
Use d_name.name in printks instead.
