Herbert Xu ba75e15fa0 crypto: aead - Add type-safe function for freeing instances
This patch adds a type-safe function for freeing AEAD instances
to struct aead_instance.  This replaces the existing free function
in struct crypto_template which does not know the type of the
instance that it's freeing.

Herbert Xu 7cecadb7cc crypto: rng - Do not free default RNG when it becomes unused
Currently we free the default RNG when its use count hits zero.
This was OK when the IV generators would latch onto the RNG at
instance creation time and keep it until the instance is torn
down.

Now that IV generators only keep the RNG reference during init
time this scheme causes the default RNG to come and go at a high
frequencey.  This is highly undesirable as we want to keep a single
RNG in use unless the admin wants it to be removed.

This patch changes the scheme so that the system RNG once allocated
is never removed unless a specifically requested.

Herbert Xu f5d8660acb crypto: aead - Fix aead_instance struct size
The struct aead_instance is meant to extend struct crypto_instance
by incorporating the extra members of struct aead_alg.  However,
the current layout which is copied from shash/ahash does not specify
the struct fully.  In particular only aead_alg is present.

For shash/ahash this works because users there add extra headroom
to sizeof(struct crypto_instance) when allocating the instance.
Unfortunately for aead, this bit was lost when the new aead_instance
was added.

Rather than fixing it like shash/ahash, this patch simply expands
struct aead_instance to contain what is supposed to be there, i.e.,
adding struct crypto_instance.

In order to not break existing AEAD users, this is done through an
anonymous union.

Herbert Xu 856e3f4092 crypto: seqiv - Add support for new AEAD interface
This patch converts the seqiv IV generator to work with the new
AEAD interface where IV generators are just normal AEAD algorithms.

Full backwards compatibility is paramount at this point since
no users have yet switched over to the new interface.  Nor can
they switch to the new interface until IV generation is fully
supported by it.

So this means we are adding two versions of seqiv alongside the
existing one.  The first one is the one that will be used when
the underlying AEAD algorithm has switched over to the new AEAD
interface.  The second one handles the current case where the
underlying AEAD algorithm still uses the old interface.

Both versions export themselves through the new AEAD interface.

Herbert Xu 75ecb231ff crypto: hash - Add real ahash walk interface
Although the existing hash walk interface has already been used
by a number of ahash crypto drivers, it turns out that none of
them were really asynchronous.  They were all essentially polling
for completion.

That's why nobody has noticed until now that the walk interface
couldn't work with a real asynchronous driver since the memory
is mapped using kmap_atomic.

As we now have a use-case for a real ahash implementation on x86,
this patch creates a minimal ahash walk interface.  Basically it
just calls kmap instead of kmap_atomic and does away with the
crypto_yield call.  Real ahash crypto drivers don't need to yield
since by definition they won't be hogging the CPU.

Geert Uytterhoeven a1d2f09544 crypto: compress - Add pcomp interface
The current "comp" crypto interface supports one-shot (de)compression only,
i.e. the whole data buffer to be (de)compressed must be passed at once, and
the whole (de)compressed data buffer will be received at once.
In several use-cases (e.g. compressed file systems that store files in big
compressed blocks), this workflow is not suitable.
Furthermore, the "comp" type doesn't provide for the configuration of
(de)compression parameters, and always allocates workspace memory for both
compression and decompression, which may waste memory.

To solve this, add a "pcomp" partial (de)compression interface that provides
the following operations:
  - crypto_compress_{init,update,final}() for compression,
  - crypto_decompress_{init,update,final}() for decompression,
  - crypto_{,de}compress_setup(), to configure (de)compression parameters
    (incl. allocating workspace memory).

The (de)compression methods take a struct comp_request, which was mimicked
after the z_stream object in zlib, and contains buffer pointer and length
pairs for input and output.

The setup methods take an opaque parameter pointer and length pair. Parameters
are supposed to be encoded using netlink attributes, whose meanings depend on
the actual (name of the) (de)compression algorithm.

Herbert Xu 7b5a080b3c crypto: hash - Add shash interface
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.

Herbert Xu 76fc60a2e3 [CRYPTO] skcipher: Move chainiv/seqiv into crypto_blkcipher module
For compatibility with dm-crypt initramfs setups it is useful to merge
chainiv/seqiv into the crypto_blkcipher module.  Since they're required
by most algorithms anyway this is an acceptable trade-off.

Herbert Xu e7cd2514ea [CRYPTO] chainiv: Avoid lock spinning where possible
This patch makes chainiv avoid spinning by postponing requests on lock
contention if the user allows the use of asynchronous algorithms.  If
a synchronous algorithm is requested then we behave as before.

This should improve IPsec performance on SMP when two CPUs attempt to
transmit over the same SA.  Currently one of them will spin doing nothing
waiting for the other CPU to finish its encryption.  This patch makes it
postpone the request and get on with other work.

If only one CPU is transmitting for a given SA, then we will process
the request synchronously as before.

Herbert Xu 3631c650c4 [CRYPTO] null: Add null blkcipher algorithm
This patch adds a null blkcipher algorithm called ecb(cipher_null) for
backwards compatibility.  Previously the null algorithm when used by
IPsec copied the data byte by byte.  This new algorithm optimises that
to a straight memcpy which lets us better measure inherent overheads in
our IPsec code.

Herbert Xu d29ce988ae [CRYPTO] aead: Create default givcipher instances
This patch makes crypto_alloc_aead always return algorithms that is
capable of generating their own IVs through givencrypt and givdecrypt.
All existing AEAD algorithms already do.  New ones must either supply
their own or specify a generic IV generator with the geniv field.

Herbert Xu 5b6d2d7fdf [CRYPTO] aead: Add aead_geniv_alloc/aead_geniv_free
This patch creates the infrastructure to help the construction of IV
generator templates that wrap around AEAD algorithms by adding an IV
generator to them.  This is useful for AEAD algorithms with no built-in
IV generator or to replace their built-in generator.

Herbert Xu b9c55aa475 [CRYPTO] skcipher: Create default givcipher instances
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.

Herbert Xu 61da88e2b8 [CRYPTO] skcipher: Add givcrypt operations and givcipher type
Different block cipher modes have different requirements for intialisation
vectors.  For example, CBC can use a simple randomly generated IV while
modes such as CTR must use an IV generation mechanisms that give a stronger
guarantee on the lack of collisions.  Furthermore, disk encryption modes
have their own IV generation algorithms.

Up until now IV generation has been left to the users of the symmetric
key cipher API.  This is inconvenient as the number of block cipher modes
increase because the user needs to be aware of which mode is supposed to
be paired with which IV generation algorithm.

Therefore it makes sense to integrate the IV generation into the crypto
API.  This patch takes the first step in that direction by creating two
new ablkcipher operations, givencrypt and givdecrypt that generates an
IV before performing the actual encryption or decryption.

The operations are currently not exposed to the user.  That will be done
once the underlying functionality has actually been implemented.

It also creates the underlying givcipher type.  Algorithms that directly
generate IVs would use it instead of ablkcipher.  All other algorithms
(including all existing ones) would generate a givcipher algorithm upon
registration.  This givcipher algorithm will be constructed from the geniv
string that's stored in every algorithm.  That string will locate a template
which is instantiated by the blkcipher/ablkcipher algorithm in question to
give a givcipher algorithm.

Herbert Xu 378f4f51f9 [CRYPTO] skcipher: Add crypto_grab_skcipher interface
Note: From now on the collective of ablkcipher/blkcipher/givcipher will
be known as skcipher, i.e., symmetric key cipher.  The name blkcipher has
always been much of a misnomer since it supports stream ciphers too.

This patch adds the function crypto_grab_skcipher as a new way of getting
an ablkcipher spawn.  The problem is that previously we did this in two
steps, first getting the algorithm and then calling crypto_init_spawn.

This meant that each spawn user had to be aware of what type and mask to
use for these two steps.  This is difficult and also presents a problem
when the type/mask changes as they're about to be for IV generators.

The new interface does both steps together just like crypto_alloc_ablkcipher.

As a side-effect this also allows us to be stronger on type enforcement
for spawns.  For now this is only done for ablkcipher but it's trivial
to extend for other types.

This patch also moves the type/mask logic for skcipher into the helpers
crypto_skcipher_type and crypto_skcipher_mask.

Finally this patch introduces the function crypto_require_sync to determine
whether the user is specifically requesting a sync algorithm.
