      crypto: compress - Add pcomp interface · a1d2f095
      Geert Uytterhoeven 提交于
      The current "comp" crypto interface supports one-shot (de)compression only,
      i.e. the whole data buffer to be (de)compressed must be passed at once, and
      the whole (de)compressed data buffer will be received at once.
      In several use-cases (e.g. compressed file systems that store files in big
      compressed blocks), this workflow is not suitable.
      Furthermore, the "comp" type doesn't provide for the configuration of
      (de)compression parameters, and always allocates workspace memory for both
      compression and decompression, which may waste memory.
      
      To solve this, add a "pcomp" partial (de)compression interface that provides
      the following operations:
        - crypto_compress_{init,update,final}() for compression,
        - crypto_decompress_{init,update,final}() for decompression,
        - crypto_{,de}compress_setup(), to configure (de)compression parameters
          (incl. allocating workspace memory).
      
      The (de)compression methods take a struct comp_request, which was mimicked
      after the z_stream object in zlib, and contains buffer pointer and length
      pairs for input and output.
      
      The setup methods take an opaque parameter pointer and length pair. Parameters
      are supposed to be encoded using netlink attributes, whose meanings depend on
      the actual (name of the) (de)compression algorithm.

      crypto: hash - Add import/export interface · dec8b786
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      It is often useful to save the partial state of a hash function
      so that it can be used as a base for two or more computations.
      
      The most prominent example is HMAC where all hashes start from
      a base determined by the key.  Having an import/export interface
      means that we only have to compute that base once rather than
      for each message.

      crypto: hash - Add shash interface · 7b5a080b
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      The shash interface replaces the current synchronous hash interface.
      It improves over hash in two ways.  Firstly shash is reentrant,
      meaning that the same tfm may be used by two threads simultaneously
      as all hashing state is stored in a local descriptor.
      
      The other enhancement is that shash no longer takes scatter list
      entries.  This is because shash is specifically designed for
      synchronous algorithms and as such scatter lists are unnecessary.
      
      All existing hash users will be converted to shash once the
      algorithms have been completely converted.
      
      There is also a new finup function that combines update with final.
      This will be extended to ahash once the algorithm conversion is
      done.
      
      This is also the first time that an algorithm type has their own
      registration function.  Existing algorithm types will be converted
      to this way in due course.

      [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.

      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

      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: 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.
