* [CRYPTO] tcrypt: Forbid tcrypt from being built-inHerbert Xu2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | It makes no sense to build tcrypt into the kernel. In fact, now that the driver init function's return status is being checked, it is in fact harmful to do so. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [CRYPTO] tcrypt: Speed benchmark support for digest algorithmsMichal Ludvig2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds speed tests (benchmarks) for digest algorithms. Tests are run with different buffer sizes (16 bytes, ... 8 kBytes) and with each buffer multiple tests are run with different update() sizes (e.g. hash 64 bytes buffer in four 16 byte updates). There is no correctness checking of the result and all tests and algorithms use the same input buffer.

* [CRYPTO] tcrypt: Return -EAGAIN from module_init()Michal Ludvig2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | Intentionaly return -EAGAIN from module_init() to ensure it doesn't stay loaded in the kernel. The module does all its work from init() and doesn't offer any runtime functionality => we don't need it in the memory, do we?

* [CRYPTO] api: Allow replacement when registering new algorithmsHerbert Xu2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | We already allow asynchronous removal of existing algorithm modules. By allowing the replacement of existing algorithms, we can replace algorithms without having to wait for for all existing users to complete. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [CRYPTO] api: Removed const from cra_name/cra_driver_nameHerbert Xu2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | We do need to change these names now and even more so in future with instantiated algorithms. So let's stop lying to the compiler and get rid of the const modifiers. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [CRYPTO] api: Added cra_init/cra_exitHerbert Xu2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the hooks cra_init/cra_exit which are called during a tfm's construction and destruction respectively. This will be used by the instances to allocate child tfm's. For now this lets us get rid of the coa_init/coa_exit functions which are used for exactly that purpose (unlike the dia_init function which is called for each transaction). In fact the coa_exit path is currently buggy as it may get called twice when an error is encountered during initialisation. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

* [CRYPTO] all: Pass tfm instead of ctx to algorithmsHerbert Xu2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up until now algorithms have been happy to get a context pointer since they know everything that's in the tfm already (e.g., alignment, block size). However, once we have parameterised algorithms, such information will be specific to each tfm. So the algorithm API needs to be changed to pass the tfm structure instead of the context pointer. This patch is basically a text substitution. The only tricky bit is the assembly routines that need to get the context pointer offset through asm-offsets.h.

* [CRYPTO] digest: Remove unnecessary zeroing during initHerbert Xu2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | Various digest algorithms operate one block at a time and therefore keep a temporary buffer of partial blocks.

* [CRYPTO] aes: Fixed array boundary violationDavid McCullough2006-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The AES setkey routine writes 64 bytes to the E_KEY area even though there are only 60 bytes there. It is in fact safe since E_KEY is immediately follwed by D_KEY which is initialised afterwards. However, doing this may trigger undefined behaviour and makes Coverity unhappy. So by combining E_KEY and D_KEY into one array we sidestep this issue altogether. This problem was reported by Adrian Bunk. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

* [CRYPTO] api: Align tfm context as wide as possibleHerbert Xu2006-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since tfm contexts can contain arbitrary types we should provide at least natural alignment (__attribute__ ((__aligned__))) for them. In particular, this is needed on the Xscale which is a 32-bit architecture with a u64 type that requires 64-bit alignment. This problem was reported by Ronen Shitrit. The crypto_tfm structure's size was 44 bytes on 32-bit architectures and 80 bytes on 64-bit architectures. So adding this requirement only means that we have to add an extra 4 bytes on 32-bit architectures. On i386 the natural alignment is 16 bytes which also benefits the VIA Padlock as it no longer has to manually align its context structure to 128 bits.

* [CRYPTO] sha1: Avoid shifting count left and rightNicolas Pitre2006-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch avoids shifting the count left and right needlessly for each call to sha1_update(). It instead can be done only once at the end in sha1_final(). Keeping the previous test example (sha1_update() successively called with len=64), a 1.3% performance increase can be observed on i386, or 0.2% on ARM. The generated code is also smaller on ARM.

* [CRYPTO] Allow AES C/ASM implementations to coexistHerbert Xu2006-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | As the Crypto API now allows multiple implementations to be registered for the same algorithm, we no longer have to play tricks with Kconfig to select the right AES implementation. This patch sets the driver name and priority for all the AES implementations and removes the Kconfig conditions on the C implementation for AES.

* [CRYPTO] Allow multiple implementations of the same algorithmHerbert Xu2006-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [CRYPTO] Use standard byte order macros wherever possibleHerbert Xu2006-01-09

| | | | | | | | | | | | The boundary check in the standard multi-block cipher processors are broken when nbytes is not a multiple of bsize. In those cases it will always process an extra block.

* [CRYPTO]: Added CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP flagHerbert Xu2005-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [CRYPTO] Add x86_64 asm AESAndreas Steinmetz2005-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implementation: =============== The encrypt/decrypt code is based on an x86 implementation I did a while ago which I never published. This unpublished implementation does include an assembler based key schedule and precomputed tables. For simplicity and best acceptance, however, I took Gladman's in-kernel code for table generation and key schedule for the kernel port of my assembler code and modified this code to produce the key schedule as required by my assembler implementation. File locations and Kconfig are kept similar to the i586 AES assembler implementation. It may seem a little bit strange to use 32 bit I/O and registers in the assembler implementation but this gives the best code size. My implementation takes one instruction more per round compared to Gladman's x86 assembler but it doesn't require any stack for local variables or saved registers and it is less serialized than Gladman's code. Note that all comparisons to Gladman's code were done after my code was implemented. I did only use FIPS PUB 197 for the implementation so my implementation is independent work. If anybody has a better assembler solution for x86_64 I'll be pleased to have my code replaced with the better solution. Testing: ======== The implementation passes the in-kernel crypto testing module and I'm running it without any problems on my laptop where it is mainly used for dm-crypt. Microbenchmark: =============== The microbenchmark was done in userspace with similar compile flags as used during kernel compile. Encrypt/decrypt is about 35% faster than the generic C implementation. As the generic C as well as my assembler implementation are both table I don't really expect that there is much room for further improvements though I'll be glad to be corrected here. The key schedule is about 5% slower than the generic C implementation. This is due to the fact that some more work has to be done in the key schedule routine to fit the schedule to the assembler implementation. Code Size: ========== Encrypt and decrypt are together about 2.1 Kbytes smaller than the generic C implementation which is important with regard to L1 cache usage. The key schedule routine is about 100 bytes larger than the generic C implementation. Data Size: ========== There's no difference in data size requirements between the assembler implementation and the generic C implementation. License: ======== Gladmans's code is dual BSD/GPL whereas my assembler code is GPLv2 only (I'm not going to change the license for my code). So I had to change the module license for the x86_64 aes module from 'Dual BSD/GPL' to 'GPL' to reflect the most restrictive license within the module.

* [CRYPTO] Add null short circuit to crypto_free_tfmJesper Juhl2005-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As far as I'm aware there's a general concensus that functions that are responsible for freeing resources should be able to cope with being passed a NULL pointer. This makes sense as it removes the need for all callers to check for NULL, thus elliminating the bugs that happen when some forget (safer to just check centrally in the freeing function) and it also makes for smaller code all over due to the lack of all those NULL checks. This patch makes it safe to pass the crypto_free_tfm() function a NULL pointer. Once this patch is applied we can start removing the NULL checks from the callers.

* [CRYPTO] Add alignmask for low-level cipher implementationsHerbert Xu2005-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The VIA Padlock device requires the input and output buffers to be aligned on 16-byte boundaries. This patch adds the alignmask attribute for low-level cipher implementations to indicate their alignment requirements. The mid-level crypt() function will copy the input/output buffers if they are not aligned correctly before they are passed to the low-level implementation. Strictly speaking, some of the software implementations require the buffers to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries as they do 32-bit loads. However, it is not clear whether it is better to copy the buffers or pay the penalty for unaligned loads/stores. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
