Herbert Xu 3e90950d36 crypto: algif_aead - Temporarily disable all AEAD algorithms
As the AEAD conversion is still ongoing, we do not yet wish to
export legacy AEAD implementations to user-space, as their calling
convention will change.

This patch actually disables all AEAD algorithms because some of
them (e.g., cryptd) will need to be modified to propagate this flag.

Subsequent patches will reenable them on an individual basis.

Herbert Xu edf18b9108 crypto: api - Add CRYPTO_MINALIGN_ATTR to struct crypto_alg
The struct crypto_alg is embedded into various type-specific structs
such as aead_alg.  This is then used as part of instances such as
struct aead_instance.  It is also embedded into the generic struct
crypto_instance.  In order to ensure that struct aead_instance can
be converted to struct crypto_instance when necessary, we need to
ensure that crypto_alg is aligned properly.

This patch adds an alignment attribute to struct crypto_alg to
ensure this.

This patch is the first step in the introduction of a new AEAD

Herbert Xu 5d1d65f8be crypto: aead - Convert top level interface to new style
This patch converts the top-level aead interface to the new style.
All user-level AEAD interface code have been moved into crypto/aead.h.

The allocation/free functions have switched over to the new way of
allocating tfms.

This patch also removes the double indrection on setkey so the
indirection now exists only at the alg level.

Apart from these there are no user-visible changes.

Stephan Mueller 06ca7f68d4 crypto: api - prevent helper ciphers from being used
Several hardware related cipher implementations are implemented as
follows: a "helper" cipher implementation is registered with the
kernel crypto API.

Such helper ciphers are never intended to be called by normal users. In
some cases, calling them via the normal crypto API may even cause
failures including kernel crashes. In a normal case, the "wrapping"
ciphers that use the helpers ensure that these helpers are invoked
such that they cannot cause any calamity.

Considering the AF_ALG user space interface, unprivileged users can
call all ciphers registered with the crypto API, including these
helper ciphers that are not intended to be called directly. That
means, with AF_ALG user space may invoke these helper ciphers
and may cause undefined states or side effects.

To avoid any potential side effects with such helpers, the patch
prevents the helpers to be called directly. A new cipher type
flag is added: CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL. This flag shall be used
to mark helper ciphers. These ciphers can only be used if the
caller invoke the cipher with CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL in the type and
mask field.

Linus Torvalds ed2d265d12 The following text was taken from the original review request:
"[RFC - PATCH 0/7] consolidation of BUG support code."
 		https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/26/525
 --
 
 The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under
 the one <linux/bug.h> file.  Due to historical reasons, we have
 some BUG code in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for
 BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h,
 but old code in kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time.  As
 a band-aid, kernel.h was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them.
 
 This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions.
 Here is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:
 
       CC      lib/string.o
       lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
       lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
       make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
       $
       $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
       #include <linux/bug.h>
       $
 
 We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
 still get a compile fail!  [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.]
 Ugh - very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.
 
 With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:
 
 1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
    implicit presence of BUG code.
 2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and
    hence relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
 3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h>
 4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.
 
 During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2.
 But to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless
 build failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix
 the problem areas in advance.

If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any
other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then
that header really should be including <linux/bug.h> and not just
expecting it to be implicitly present.

We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these
headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have
been causing compile failures/warnings.

Paul Gortmaker 7c926402a7 crypto.h: remove unused crypto_tfm_alg_modname() inline
The <linux/crypto.h> (which is in turn in common headers
like tcp.h) wants to use module_name() in an inline fcn.
But having all of <linux/module.h> along for the ride is
overkill and slows down compiles by a measureable amount,
since it in turn includes lots of headers.

Since the inline is never used anywhere in the kernel[1],
we can just remove it, and then also remove the module.h
include as well.

In all the many crypto modules, there were some relying on
crypto.h including module.h -- for them we now explicitly
call out module.h for inclusion.

[1] git grep shows some staging drivers also define the same
static inline, but they also never ever use it.

As the request may contain sensitive data it needs to be zeroed
before it can be reallocated by others.

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 3f683d6175 crypto: api - Fix crypto_alloc_tfm/create_create_tfm return convention
This is based on a report and patch by Geert Uytterhoeven.

The functions crypto_alloc_tfm and create_create_tfm return a
pointer that needs to be adjusted by the caller when successful
and otherwise an error value.  This means that the caller has
to check for the error and only perform the adjustment if the
pointer returned is valid.

Since all callers want to make the adjustment and we know how
to adjust it ourselves, it's much easier to just return adjusted
pointer directly.

The only caveat is that we have to return a void * instead of
struct crypto_tfm *.  However, this isn't that bad because both
of these functions are for internal use only (by types code like
shash.c, not even algorithms code).

This patch also moves crypto_alloc_tfm into crypto/internal.h
(crypto_create_tfm is already there) to reflect this.

Geert Uytterhoeven pointed out that we're not zeroing all the

Herbert Xu dec8b78606 crypto: hash - Add import/export interface
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.

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 7b0bac64cd crypto: api - Rebirth of crypto_alloc_tfm
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.

Herbert Xu 4a7794860b crypto: api - Move type exit function into crypto_tfm
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.
