Remove cryptd_alloc_ablkcipher() and the ability of cryptd to create
algorithms with the deprecated "ablkcipher" type.This has been unused since commit 0e145b477dea ("crypto: ablk_helper -
remove ablk_helper"). Instead, cryptd_alloc_skcipher() is used.Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

This patch adds helpers to check whether a given tfm is currently
queued. This is meant to be used by ablk_helper and similar
entities to ensure that no reordering is introduced because of
requests queued in cryptd with respect to requests being processed
in softirq context.The per-cpu queue length limit is also increased to 1000 in line
with network limits.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

cryptd.h needs to include crypto/aead.h because it uses crypto_aead.

This patch adds AEAD support into the cryptd framework. Having AEAD
support in cryptd enables crypto drivers that use the AEAD
interface type (such as the patch for AEAD based RFC4106 AES-GCM
implementation using Intel New Instructions) to leverage cryptd for
asynchronous processing.Signed-off-by: Adrian Hoban

PCLMULQDQ is used to accelerate the most time-consuming part of GHASH,
carry-less multiplication. More information about PCLMULQDQ can be
found at:http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/carry-less-multiplication-and-its-usage-for-computing-the-gcm-mode/
Because PCLMULQDQ changes XMM state, its usage must be enclosed with
kernel_fpu_begin/end, which can be used only in process context, the
acceleration is implemented as crypto_ahash. That is, request in soft
IRQ context will be defered to the cryptd kernel thread.Signed-off-by: Huang Ying

cryptd_alloc_ahash() will allocate a cryptd-ed ahash for specified
algorithm name. The new allocated one is guaranteed to be cryptd-ed
ahash, so the shash underlying can be gotten via cryptd_ahash_child().Signed-off-by: Huang Ying
