2009-08-31crypto: api - Do not displace newly registered algorithmsHerbert Xu
We have a mechanism where newly registered algorithms of a higher priority can displace existing instances that use a different implementation of the same algorithm with a lower priority. Unfortunately the same mechanism can cause a newly registered algorithm to displace itself if it depends on an existing version of the same algorithm. This patch fixes this by keeping all algorithms that the newly reigstered algorithm depends on, thus protecting them from being removed. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-08-29crypto: skcipher - Fix skcipher_dequeue_givcrypt NULL testHerbert Xu
As struct skcipher_givcrypt_request includes struct crypto_request at a non-zero offset, testing for NULL after converting the pointer returned by crypto_dequeue_request does not work. This can result in IPsec crashes when the queue is depleted. This patch fixes it by doing the pointer conversion only when the return value is non-NULL. In particular, we create a new function __crypto_dequeue_request that does the pointer conversion.

2009-07-09crypto: api - Fix crypto_drop_spawn crash on blank spawnsHerbert Xu
This patch allows crypto_drop_spawn to be called on spawns that have not been initialised or have failed initialisation. This fixes potential crashes during initialisation without adding special case code. 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>
2009-07-08crypto: api - Add new style spawn supportHerbert Xu
This patch modifies the spawn infrastructure to support new style algorithms like shash. In particular, this means storing the frontend type in the spawn and using crypto_create_tfm to allocate the tfm. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-07-07crypto: api - Add crypto_alloc_instance2Herbert Xu
This patch adds a new argument to crypto_alloc_instance which sets aside some space before the instance for use by algorithms such as shash that place type-specific data before crypto_alg. For compatibility the function has been renamed so that existing users aren't affected. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-01-28crypto: api - Fix algorithm test race that broke aead initialisationHerbert Xu
When we complete a test we'll notify everyone waiting on it, drop the mutex, and then remove the test larval (after reacquiring the mutex). If one of the notified parties tries to register another algorithm with the same driver name prior to the removal of the test larval, they will fail with EEXIST as only one algorithm of a given name can be tested at any time. This broke the initialisation of aead and givcipher algorithms as they will register two algorithms with the same driver name, in sequence. This patch fixes the problem by marking the larval as dead before we drop the mutex, and also ignoring all dead or dying algorithms on the registration path.

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: 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>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_attr_alg_nameHerbert Xu
This patch adds a new helper crypto_attr_alg_name which is basically the first half of crypto_attr_alg. That is, it returns an algorithm name parameter as a string without looking it up. The caller can then look it up immediately or defer it until later. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_inc and crypto_xorHerbert Xu
With the addition of more stream ciphers we need to curb the proliferation of ad-hoc xor functions. This patch creates a generic pair of functions, crypto_inc and crypto_xor which does big-endian increment and exclusive or, respectively. For optimum performance, they both use u32 operations so alignment must be as that of u32 even though the arguments are of type u8 *. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-11-23[CRYPTO] api: Fix potential race in crypto_remove_spawnHerbert Xu
As it is crypto_remove_spawn may try to unregister an instance which is yet to be registered. This patch fixes this by checking whether the instance has been registered before attempting to remove it. It also removes a bogus cra_destroy check in crypto_register_instance as 1) it's outside the mutex; 2) we have a check in __crypto_register_alg already. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-10-10[CRYPTO] api: Explain the comparison on larval cra_nameHerbert Xu
This patch adds a comment to explain why we compare the cra_driver_name of the algorithm being registered against the cra_name of a larval as opposed to the cra_driver_name of the larval. In fact larvals have only one name, cra_name which is the name that was requested by the user. The test here is simply trying to find out whether the algorithm being registered can or can not satisfy the larval. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-10-10[CRYPTO] blkcipher: Remove alignment restriction on block sizeHerbert Xu
Previously we assumed for convenience that the block size is a multiple of the algorithm's required alignment. With the pending addition of CTR this will no longer be the case as the block size will be 1 due to it being a stream cipher. However, the alignment requirement will be that of the underlying implementation which will most likely be greater than 1. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-10-10[CRYPTO] aead: Add authencHerbert Xu
This patch adds the authenc algorithm which constructs an AEAD algorithm from an asynchronous block cipher and a hash. The construction is done by concatenating the encrypted result from the cipher with the output from the hash, as is used by the IPsec ESP protocol. The authenc algorithm exists as a template with four parameters: authenc(auth, authsize, enc, enckeylen). The authentication algorithm, the authentication size (i.e., truncating the output of the authentication algorithm), the encryption algorithm, and the encryption key length. Both the size field and the key length field are in bytes. For example, AES-128 with SHA1-HMAC would be represented by authenc(hmac(sha1), 12, cbc(aes), 16) The key for the authenc algorithm is the concatenation of the keys for the authentication algorithm with the encryption algorithm. For the above example, if a key of length 36 bytes is given, then hmac(sha1) would receive the first 20 bytes while the last 16 would be given to cbc(aes).

2007-10-10[CRYPTO] api: Add support for multiple template parametersHerbert Xu
This patch adds support for having multiple parameters to a template, separated by a comma. It also adds support for integer parameters in addition to the current algorithm parameter type. This will be used by the authenc template which will have four parameters: the authentication algorithm, the encryption algorithm, the authentication size and the encryption key length. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-07-11[CRYPTO] api: Wake up all waiters when larval completesHerbert Xu
Right now when a larval matures or when it dies of an error we only wake up one waiter. This would cause other waiters to timeout unnecessarily. This patch changes it to use complete_all to wake up all waiters. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-05-02[CRYPTO] api: Do not remove users unless new algorithm matchesHerbert Xu
As it is whenever a new algorithm with the same name is registered users of the old algorithm will be removed so that they can take advantage of the new algorithm. This presents a problem when the new algorithm is not equivalent to the old algorithm. In particular, the new algorithm might only function on top of the existing one. Hence we should not remove users unless they can make use of the new algorithm. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-05-02[CRYPTO] api: Add async blkcipher typeHerbert Xu
This patch adds the mid-level interface for asynchronous block ciphers. It also includes a generic queueing mechanism that can be used by other asynchronous crypto operations in future. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-05-02[CRYPTO] templates: Pass type/mask when creating instancesHerbert Xu
This patch passes the type/mask along when constructing instances of templates. This is in preparation for templates that may support multiple types of instances depending on what is requested. For example, the planned software async crypto driver will use this construct. For the moment this allows us to check whether the instance constructed is of the correct type and avoid returning success if the type does not match.

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: Add type-safe spawnsHerbert Xu
This patch allows spawns of specific types (e.g., cipher) to be allocated. 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] api: Add common instance initialisation codeHerbert Xu
This patch adds the helpers crypto_get_attr_alg and crypto_alloc_instance which can be used by simple one-argument templates like hmac to process input parameters and allocate instances. 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.
