  • This patch replaces the seqniv generator with seqiv when the
    underlying algorithm understands the new calling convention.

    This not only makes more sense as now seqiv is solely responsible
    for IV generation rather than also determining how the IV is going
    to be used, it also allows for optimisations in the underlying
    implementation. For example, the space for the IV could be used
    to add padding for authentication.

    This patch also removes the unnecessary copying of IV to dst
    during seqiv decryption as the IV is part of the AD and not cipher
    text.

  • We currently do the IV seeding on the first givencrypt call in
    order to conserve entropy. However, this does not work with
    DRBG which cannot be called from interrupt context. In fact,
    with DRBG we don't need to conserve entropy anyway. So this
    patch moves the seeding into the init function.

  • This patch removes the cryptoff parameter now that all users
    set it to zero.

  • The cryptoff parameter was added to facilitate the skipping of
    IVs that sit between the AD and the plain/cipher text. However,
    it was never implemented correctly as and we do not handle users
    such as IPsec setting cryptoff. It is simply ignored.

    Implementing correctly is in fact more trouble than what it's
    worth.

    This patch removes the uses of cryptoff by moving the AD forward
    to fill the gap left by the IV. The AD is moved back after the
    underlying AEAD processing is finished.

    This is in fact beter than the cryptoff solution because it allows
    algorithms that use seqniv (i.e., GCM and CCM) to hash the whole
    packet as a single piece, while cryptoff meant that there was
    guaranteed to be a gap.

  • New style AEAD instances must use aead_register_instance. This
    worked by chance because aead_geniv_alloc is still setting things
    the old way.

    This patch converts the template over to the create model where
    we are responsible for instance registration so that we can call
    the correct function.

  • This patch adds a new IV generator seqniv which is identical to
    seqiv except that it skips the IV when authenticating. This is
    intended to be used by algorithms such as rfc4106 that does the
    IV authentication implicitly.

    Note that the code used for seqniv is in fact identical to the
    compatibility case for seqiv.

  • This patch converts the seqiv IV generator to work with the new
    AEAD interface where IV generators are just normal AEAD algorithms.

    Full backwards compatibility is paramount at this point since
    no users have yet switched over to the new interface. Nor can
    they switch to the new interface until IV generation is fully
    supported by it.

    So this means we are adding two versions of seqiv alongside the
    existing one. The first one is the one that will be used when
    the underlying AEAD algorithm has switched over to the new AEAD
    interface. The second one handles the current case where the
    underlying AEAD algorithm still uses the old interface.

    Both versions export themselves through the new AEAD interface.

  • Since seqiv is designed for IPsec we need to be able to accomodate
    the whole IPsec sequence number in order to ensure the uniqueness
    of the IV.

    This patch forbids any algorithm with an IV size of less than 8
    from using it. This should have no impact on existing users since
    they all have an IV size of 8.

  • This adds the module loading prefix "crypto-" to the template lookup
    as well.

    For example, attempting to load 'vfat(blowfish)' via AF_ALG now correctly
    includes the "crypto-" prefix at every level, correctly rejecting "vfat":

    net-pf-38
    algif-hash
    crypto-vfat(blowfish)
    crypto-vfat(blowfish)-all
    crypto-vfat

  • Replace PTR_ERR followed by ERR_PTR by ERR_CAST, to be more concise.

    The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

    expression err,x;

    - err = PTR_ERR(x);

  • …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 adds support for using seqiv with AEAD algorithms. This is
    useful for those AEAD algorithms that performs authentication before
    encryption because the IV generated by the underlying encryption algorithm
    won't be available for authentication.

  • This generator generates an IV based on a sequence number by xoring it
    with a salt. This algorithm is mainly useful for CTR and similar modes.

    This patch also sets it as the default IV generator for ctr.
