This patch adds a new helper crypto_attr_alg_name which is basically the
first half of crypto_attr_alg. That is, it returns an algorithm name
parameter as a string without looking it up. The caller can then look it
up immediately or defer it until later.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

With the addition of more stream ciphers we need to curb the proliferation
of ad-hoc xor functions. This patch creates a generic pair of functions,
crypto_inc and crypto_xor which does big-endian increment and exclusive or,
respectively.For optimum performance, they both use u32 operations so alignment must be
as that of u32 even though the arguments are of type u8 *.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

As it is crypto_remove_spawn may try to unregister an instance which is
yet to be registered. This patch fixes this by checking whether the
instance has been registered before attempting to remove it.It also removes a bogus cra_destroy check in crypto_register_instance as
1) it's outside the mutex;
2) we have a check in __crypto_register_alg already.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch adds a comment to explain why we compare the cra_driver_name of
the algorithm being registered against the cra_name of a larval as opposed
to the cra_driver_name of the larval.In fact larvals have only one name, cra_name which is the name that was
requested by the user. The test here is simply trying to find out whether
the algorithm being registered can or can not satisfy the larval.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

Previously we assumed for convenience that the block size is a multiple of
the algorithm's required alignment. With the pending addition of CTR this
will no longer be the case as the block size will be 1 due to it being a
stream cipher. However, the alignment requirement will be that of the
underlying implementation which will most likely be greater than 1.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch adds the authenc algorithm which constructs an AEAD algorithm
from an asynchronous block cipher and a hash. The construction is done
by concatenating the encrypted result from the cipher with the output
from the hash, as is used by the IPsec ESP protocol.The authenc algorithm exists as a template with four parameters:
authenc(auth, authsize, enc, enckeylen).
The authentication algorithm, the authentication size (i.e., truncating
the output of the authentication algorithm), the encryption algorithm,
and the encryption key length. Both the size field and the key length
field are in bytes. For example, AES-128 with SHA1-HMAC would be
represented byauthenc(hmac(sha1), 12, cbc(aes), 16)
The key for the authenc algorithm is the concatenation of the keys for
the authentication algorithm with the encryption algorithm. For the
above example, if a key of length 36 bytes is given, then hmac(sha1)
would receive the first 20 bytes while the last 16 would be given to
cbc(aes).Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch adds support for having multiple parameters to
a template, separated by a comma. It also adds support
for integer parameters in addition to the current algorithm
parameter type.This will be used by the authenc template which will have
four parameters: the authentication algorithm, the encryption
algorithm, the authentication size and the encryption key
length.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

Right now when a larval matures or when it dies of an error we
only wake up one waiter. This would cause other waiters to timeout
unnecessarily. This patch changes it to use complete_all to wake
up all waiters.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

As it is whenever a new algorithm with the same name is registered
users of the old algorithm will be removed so that they can take
advantage of the new algorithm. This presents a problem when the
new algorithm is not equivalent to the old algorithm. In particular,
the new algorithm might only function on top of the existing one.Hence we should not remove users unless they can make use of the
new algorithm.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch adds the mid-level interface for asynchronous block ciphers.
It also includes a generic queueing mechanism that can be used by other
asynchronous crypto operations in future.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch passes the type/mask along when constructing instances of
templates. This is in preparation for templates that may support
multiple types of instances depending on what is requested. For example,
the planned software async crypto driver will use this construct.For the moment this allows us to check whether the instance constructed
is of the correct type and avoid returning success if the type does not
match.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

algorithm by passing the type and mask through to the backend type
init function.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch adds the helpers crypto_get_attr_alg and crypto_alloc_instance
which can be used by simple one-argument templates like hmac to process
input parameters and allocate instances.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

Spawns lock a specific crypto algorithm in place. They can then be used
with crypto_spawn_tfm to allocate a tfm for that algorithm. When the base
algorithm of a spawn is deregistered, all its spawns will be automatically
removed.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch also adds the infrastructure to pick an algorithm based on
their type. For example, this allows you to select the encryption
algorithm "aes", instead of any algorithm registered under the name
"aes". For now this is only accessible internally. Eventually it
will be made available through crypto_alloc_tfm.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

This patch adds a notifier chain for algorithm/template registration events.
This will be used to register compound algorithms such as cbc(aes). In
future this will also be passed onto user-space through netlink.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

The crypto API is made up of the part facing users such as IPsec and the
low-level part which is used by cryptographic entities such as algorithms.
This patch splits out the latter so that the two APIs are more clearly
delineated. As a bonus the low-level API can now be modularised if all
algorithms are built as modules.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
