  • 3e14dcf7c   crypto: add missing crypto module aliases ... Browse Code »

    Commit 5d26a105b5a7 ("crypto: prefix module autoloading with "crypto-"")
    changed the automatic module loading when requesting crypto algorithms
    to prefix all module requests with "crypto-". This requires all crypto
    modules to have a crypto specific module alias even if their file name
    would otherwise match the requested crypto algorithm.

    Even though commit 5d26a105b5a7 added those aliases for a vast amount of
    modules, it was missing a few. Add the required MODULE_ALIAS_CRYPTO
    annotations to those files to make them get loaded automatically, again.
    This fixes, e.g., requesting 'ecb(blowfish-generic)', which used to work
    with kernels v3.18 and below.

    Also change MODULE_ALIAS() lines to MODULE_ALIAS_CRYPTO(). The former
    won't work for crypto modules any more.

  • 7185ad267   crypto: memzero_explicit - make sure to clear out sensitive data ... Browse Code »

    Recently, in commit 13aa93c70e71 ("random: add and use memzero_explicit()
    for clearing data"), we have found that GCC may optimize some memset()
    cases away when it detects a stack variable is not being used anymore
    and going out of scope. This can happen, for example, in cases when we
    are clearing out sensitive information such as keying material or any
    e.g. intermediate results from crypto computations, etc.

    With the help of Coccinelle, we can figure out and fix such occurences
    in the crypto subsytem as well. Julia Lawall provided the following
    Coccinelle program:

    @@
    type T;
    identifier x;
    @@

    T x;
    ... when exists
    when any
    -memset
    +memzero_explicit
    (&x,
    -0,
    ...)
    ... when != x
    when strict

    @@
    type T;
    identifier x;
    @@

    T x[...];
    ... when exists
    when any
    -memset
    +memzero_explicit
    (x,
    -0,
    ...)
    ... when != x
    when strict

    Therefore, make use of the drop-in replacement memzero_explicit() for
    exactly such cases instead of using memset().

    Thanks for the suggestion, the init() is replaced with

    _mod_init ()

    and fini () is replaced with _mod_fini.
