  • The SEC's h/w IV out implementation DMAs the trailing encrypted payload
    block of the last encryption to ctx->iv. Since the last encryption may
    still be pending completion, we can sufficiently prevent successive
    packets from being transmitted with the same IV by xoring with sequence
    number.

    Also initialize alg_list earlier to prevent oopsing on a failed probe.

    =======================

    Wolfgang also found out that adding kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end()
    around the padlock instructions fix the oops.

    Suresh wrote:

    These padlock instructions though don't use/touch SSE registers, but it behaves
    similar to other SSE instructions. For example, it might cause DNA faults
    when cr0.ts is set. While this is a spurious DNA trap, it might cause
    oops with the recent fpu code changes.

    This is the code sequence that is probably causing this problem:

    a) new app is getting exec'd and it is somewhere in between
    start_thread() and flush_old_exec() in the load_xyz_binary()

    b) At pont "a", task's fpu state (like TS_USEDFPU, used_math() etc) is
    cleared.

    c) Now we get an interrupt/softirq which starts using these encrypt/decrypt
    routines in the network stack. This generates a math fault (as
    cr0.ts is '1') which sets TS_USEDFPU and restores the math that is
    in the task's xstate.

    d) Return to exec code path, which does start_thread() which does
    free_thread_xstate() and sets xstate pointer to NULL while
    the TS_USEDFPU is still set.

    e) At the next context switch from the new exec'd task to another task,
    we have a scenarios where TS_USEDFPU is set but xstate pointer is null.
    This can cause an oops during unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to()

    Now:

    1) This should happen with or with out pre-emption. Viro also encountered
    similar problem with out CONFIG_PREEMPT.

    2) kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() will fix this problem, because
    kernel_fpu_begin() will manually do a clts() and won't run in to the
    situation of setting TS_USEDFPU in step "c" above.

    3) This was working before the fpu changes, because its a spurious
    math fault which doesn't corrupt any fpu/sse registers and the task's
    math state was always in an allocated state.

    With out the recent lazy fpu allocation changes, while we don't see oops,
    there is a possible race still present in older kernels(for example,
    while kernel is using kernel_fpu_begin() in some optimized clear/copy
    page and an interrupt/softirq happens which uses these padlock
    instructions generating DNA fault).

    This is the failing scenario that existed even before the lazy fpu allocation
    changes:

    0. CPU's TS flag is set

    1. kernel using FPU in some optimized copy routine and while doing
    kernel_fpu_begin() takes an interrupt just before doing clts()

    2. Takes an interrupt and ipsec uses padlock instruction. And we
    take a DNA fault as TS flag is still set.

    3. We handle the DNA fault and set TS_USEDFPU and clear cr0.ts

    4. We complete the padlock routine

    5. Go back to step-1, which resumes clts() in kernel_fpu_begin(), finishes
    the optimized copy routine and does kernel_fpu_end(). At this point,
    we have cr0.ts again set to '1' but the task's TS_USEFPU is stilll
    set and not cleared.

    6. Now kernel resumes its user operation. And at the next context
    switch, kernel sees it has do a FP save as TS_USEDFPU is still set
    and then will do a unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). unlazy_fpu()
    will take a DNA fault, as cr0.ts is '1' and now, because we are
    in __switch_to(), math_state_restore() will get confused and will
    restore the next task's FP state and will save it in prev tasks's FP state.
    Remember, in __switch_to() we are already on the stack of the next task
    but take a DNA fault for the prev task.

    This causes the fpu leakage.

    Fix the padlock instruction usage by calling them inside the
    context of new routines irq_ts_save/restore(), which clear/restore cr0.ts
    manually in the interrupt context. This will not generate spurious DNA
    in the context of the interrupt which will fix the oops encountered and
    the possible FPU leakage issue.

  • Later SEC revision requires the link table (used for scatter/gather)
    to have an extra entry to account for the total length in descriptor [4],
    which contains cipher Input and ICV.
    This only applies to decrypt, not encrypt.
    Without this change, on 837x, a gather return/length error results
    when a decryption uses a link table to gather the fragments.
    This is observed by doing a ping with size of 1447 or larger with AES,
    or a ping with size 1455 or larger with 3des.

    So, add check for SEC compatible "fsl,3.0" for using extra link table entry.

  • Move s390 crypto Kconfig options to drivers/crypto/Kconfig to have all
    hardware crypto devices in one place.

    This also makes messing up the kernel source tree easier for some people.

  • Currently it is possible to select HW_RANDOM as a module and have
    hifn795x built-in. This causes a build problem because hifn795x
    will then call hwrng_register which isn't built-in.

    This patch introduces a new config option to control the hifn795x
    RNG which lets us avoid this problem.
