      [CRYPTO] chainiv: Avoid lock spinning where possible · e7cd2514
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      This patch makes chainiv avoid spinning by postponing requests on lock
      contention if the user allows the use of asynchronous algorithms.  If
      a synchronous algorithm is requested then we behave as before.
      
      This should improve IPsec performance on SMP when two CPUs attempt to
      transmit over the same SA.  Currently one of them will spin doing nothing
      waiting for the other CPU to finish its encryption.  This patch makes it
      postpone the request and get on with other work.
      
      If only one CPU is transmitting for a given SA, then we will process
      the request synchronously as before.

      [CRYPTO] null: Add null blkcipher algorithm · 3631c650
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      This patch adds a null blkcipher algorithm called ecb(cipher_null) for
      backwards compatibility.  Previously the null algorithm when used by
      IPsec copied the data byte by byte.  This new algorithm optimises that
      to a straight memcpy which lets us better measure inherent overheads in
      our IPsec code.

      [CRYPTO] skcipher: Create default givcipher instances · b9c55aa4
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      This patch makes crypto_alloc_ablkcipher/crypto_grab_skcipher always
      return algorithms that are capable of generating their own IVs through
      givencrypt and givdecrypt.  Each algorithm may specify its default IV
      generator through the geniv field.
      
      For algorithms that do not set the geniv field, the blkcipher layer will
      pick a default.  Currently it's chainiv for synchronous algorithms and
      eseqiv for asynchronous algorithms.  Note that if these wrappers do not
      work on an algorithm then that algorithm must specify its own geniv or
      it can't be used at all.

      [CRYPTO] skcipher: Added skcipher_givcrypt_complete · 15c67286
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      This patch adds the helper skcipher_givcrypt_complete which should be
      called when an ablkcipher algorithm has completed a givcrypt request.

      This patch creates the infrastructure to help the construction of givcipher
      templates that wrap around existing blkcipher/ablkcipher algorithms by adding
      an IV generator to them.

      [CRYPTO] skcipher: Add givcrypt operations and givcipher type · 61da88e2
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Different block cipher modes have different requirements for intialisation
      vectors.  For example, CBC can use a simple randomly generated IV while
      modes such as CTR must use an IV generation mechanisms that give a stronger
      guarantee on the lack of collisions.  Furthermore, disk encryption modes
      have their own IV generation algorithms.
      
      Up until now IV generation has been left to the users of the symmetric
      key cipher API.  This is inconvenient as the number of block cipher modes
      increase because the user needs to be aware of which mode is supposed to
      be paired with which IV generation algorithm.
      
      Therefore it makes sense to integrate the IV generation into the crypto
      API.  This patch takes the first step in that direction by creating two
      new ablkcipher operations, givencrypt and givdecrypt that generates an
      IV before performing the actual encryption or decryption.
      
      The operations are currently not exposed to the user.  That will be done
      once the underlying functionality has actually been implemented.
      
      It also creates the underlying givcipher type.  Algorithms that directly
      generate IVs would use it instead of ablkcipher.  All other algorithms
      (including all existing ones) would generate a givcipher algorithm upon
      registration.  This givcipher algorithm will be constructed from the geniv
      string that's stored in every algorithm.  That string will locate a template
      which is instantiated by the blkcipher/ablkcipher algorithm in question to
      give a givcipher algorithm.

      [CRYPTO] skcipher: Add crypto_grab_skcipher interface · 378f4f51
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Note: From now on the collective of ablkcipher/blkcipher/givcipher will
      be known as skcipher, i.e., symmetric key cipher.  The name blkcipher has
      always been much of a misnomer since it supports stream ciphers too.
      
      This patch adds the function crypto_grab_skcipher as a new way of getting
      an ablkcipher spawn.  The problem is that previously we did this in two
      steps, first getting the algorithm and then calling crypto_init_spawn.
      
      This meant that each spawn user had to be aware of what type and mask to
      use for these two steps.  This is difficult and also presents a problem
      when the type/mask changes as they're about to be for IV generators.
      
      The new interface does both steps together just like crypto_alloc_ablkcipher.
      
      As a side-effect this also allows us to be stronger on type enforcement
      for spawns.  For now this is only done for ablkcipher but it's trivial
      to extend for other types.
      
      This patch also moves the type/mask logic for skcipher into the helpers
      crypto_skcipher_type and crypto_skcipher_mask.
      
      Finally this patch introduces the function crypto_require_sync to determine
      whether the user is specifically requesting a sync algorithm.
