  • This patch fixes a serious bug in the test disabling patch where
    it can cause an spurious load of the cryptomgr module even when
    it's compiled in.

    It also negates the test disabling option so that its absence
    causes tests to be enabled.

    The Kconfig option is also now behind EMBEDDED.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • This patch introduces the template->create function intended
    to replace the existing alloc function. The intention is for
    create to handle the registration directly, whereas currently
    the caller of alloc has to handle the registration.

    This allows type-specific code to be run prior to registration.

  • We currently allocate temporary memory that is used for testing
    statically. This renders the testing engine non-reentrant. As
    algorithms may nest, i.e., one may construct another in order to
    carry out a part of its operation, this is unacceptable. For
    example, it has been reported that an AEAD implementation allocates
    a cipher in its setkey function, which causes it to fail during
    testing as the temporary memory is overwritten.

    This patch replaces the static memory with dynamically allocated
    buffers. We need a maximum of 16 pages so this slightly increases
    the chances of an algorithm failing due to memory shortage.
    However, as testing usually occurs at registration, this shouldn't
    be a big problem.

  • As it is an skcipher with no IV escapes testing altogether because
    we only test givcipher objects. This patch fixes the bypass logic
    to test these algorithms.

    Conversely, we're currently testing nivaead algorithms with IVs,
    which would have deadlocked had it not been for the fact that no
    nivaead algorithms have any test vectors. This patch also fixes
    that case.

    Both fixes are ugly as hell, but this ugliness should hopefully
    disappear once we move them into the per-type code (i.e., the
    AEAD test would live in aead.c and the skcipher stuff in ablkcipher.c).
