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.

The FIPS specification requires that should self test for any supported

Mapping the destination multiple times is a misuse of the dma-api.
Since the destination may be reused as a source, ensure that it is only
mapped once and that it is mapped bidirectionally. This appears to add
ugliness on the unmap side in that it always reads back the destination
address from the descriptor, but gcc can determine that dma_unmap is a
nop and not emit the code that calculates its arguments.

Authenc works in two stages for encryption, it first encrypts and
then computes an ICV. The context memory of the request is used
by both operations. The problem is that when an asynchronous
encryption completes, we will compute the ICV and then reread the
context memory of the encryption to get the original request.
It just happens that we have a buffer of 16 bytes in front of the
request pointer, so ICVs of 16 bytes (such as SHA1) do not trigger
the bug. However, any attempt to uses a larger ICV instantly kills
the machine when the first asynchronous encryption is completed.
This patch fixes this by saving the request pointer before we start
the ICV computation.

When the number of source buffers for an xor operation exceeds the hardware
channel maximum async_xor creates a chain of dependent operations. The result
of one operation is reused as an input to the next to continue the xor
calculation. The destination buffer should remain mapped for the duration of
the entire chain. To provide this guarantee the code must no longer be allowed
to fallback to the synchronous path as this will preclude the buffer from being
unmapped, i.e. the dma-driver will potentially miss the descriptor with
!DMA_COMPL_SKIP_DEST_UNMAP.

The digest size check on hash algorithms is incorrect. It's
perfectly valid for hash algorithms to have a digest length
longer than their block size. For example crc32c has a block
size of 1 and a digest size of 4. Rather than having it lie
about its block size, this patch fixes the checks to do what
they really should which is to bound the digest size so that
code placing the digest on the stack continue to work.

Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h.
This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the
kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this
list.h without creating some circular dependencies.
For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference()
without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of
rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but
aren't probably because of this.
Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to

When HMAC gets a key longer than the block size of the hash, it needs
to feed it as input to the hash to reduce it to a fixed length. As
it is HMAC converts the key to a scatter and gather list. However,
this doesn't work on certain platforms if the key is not allocated
via kmalloc. For example, the keys from tcrypt are stored in the
rodata section and this causes it to fail with HMAC on x86-64.

The third test vector of ECB-XTEA-ENC fails for me all other

are defined. The test vector has not been modified since git
started recording histrory. The implementation is very close
(not to say equal) to what is available as Public Domain (they
recommend 64 rounds and the in kernel uses 32). Therefore I
belive that there is typo somewhere and tcrypt reported always
*fail* instead of *okey*.
This patch replaces input + result of the third test vector with
result + input from the third decryption vector. The key is the

Currently the tcrypt module is about 2 MiB on x86-32. The
main reason for the huge size is the data segment which contains
all the test vectors for each algorithm. The test vectors are
staticly allocated in an array and the size of the array has been
drastically increased by the merge of the Salsa20 test vectors.
With a hint from Benedigt Spranger I found a way how I could
convert those fixed-length arrays to strings which are flexible
in size. VIM and regex were also very helpfull :)
So, I am talking about a shrinking of ~97% on x86-32:

'ack' is currently a simple integer that flags whether or not a client is done
touching fields in the given descriptor. It is effectively just a single bit
of information. Converting this to a flags parameter allows the other bits to
be put to use to control completion actions, like dma-unmap, and capture
results, like xor-zero-sum == 0.
Changes are one of:
1/ convert all open-coded ->ack manipulations to use async_tx_ack
and async_tx_test_ack.
2/ set the ack bit at prep time where possible
3/ make drivers store the flags at prep time

The kernel crashes when ipsec passes a udp packet of about 14XX bytes

check next sg entry to see if we need to go look the page up.
I noticed in hmac.c, we do a scatterwalk_sg_next(), to do this check

The tx_set_src and tx_set_dest methods were originally implemented to allow
an array of addresses to be passed down from async_xor to the dmaengine
driver while minimizing stack overhead. Removing these methods allows
drivers to have all transaction parameters available at 'prep' time, saves
two function pointers in struct dma_async_tx_descriptor, and reduces the
number of indirect branches..
A consequence of moving this data to the 'prep' routine is that
multi-source routines like async_xor need temporary storage to convert an
array of linear addresses into an array of dma addresses. In order to keep
the same stack footprint of the previous implementation the input array is
reused as storage for the dma addresses. This requires that
sizeof(dma_addr_t) be less than or equal to sizeof(void *). As a
consequence CONFIG_DMADEVICES now depends on !CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G. It also
requires that drivers be able to make descriptor resources available when
the 'prep' routine is polled.

This generator generates an IV based on a sequence number by xoring it
with a salt and then encrypting it with the same key as used to encrypt
the plain text. This algorithm requires that the block size be equal
to the IV size. It is mainly useful for CBC.
It has one noteworthy property that for IPsec the IV happens to lie
just before the plain text so the IV generation simply increases the
number of encrypted blocks by one. Therefore the cost of this generator
is entirely dependent on the speed of the underlying cipher.

The chain IV generator is the one we've been using in the IPsec stack.
It simply starts out with a random IV, then uses the last block of each
encrypted packet's cipher text as the IV for the next packet.
It can only be used by synchronous ciphers since we have to make sure
that we don't start the encryption of the next packet until the last
one has completed.
It does have the advantage of using very little CPU time since it doesn't
have to generate anything at all.

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.
