f13ba2f7d3 [CRYPTO] skcipher: Fix section mismatches
The previous patch to move chainiv and eseqiv into blkcipher created
a section mismatch for the chainiv exit function which was also called
from __init.  This patch removes the __exit marking on it.

76fc60a2e3 [CRYPTO] skcipher: Move chainiv/seqiv into crypto_blkcipher module
For compatibility with dm-crypt initramfs setups it is useful to merge
chainiv/seqiv into the crypto_blkcipher module.  Since they're required
by most algorithms anyway this is an acceptable trade-off.

e7cd2514ea [CRYPTO] chainiv: Avoid lock spinning where possible
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.

3631c650c4 [CRYPTO] null: Add null blkcipher algorithm
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

743edf5727 [CRYPTO] aead: Add givcrypt operations
This patch adds the underlying givcrypt operations for aead and associated
support elements.  The rationale is identical to that of the skcipher
givcrypt operations, i.e., sometimes only the algorithm knows how the
IV should be generated.

A new request type aead_givcrypt_request is added which contains an
embedded aead_request structure with two new elements to support this
operation.  The new elements are seq and giv.  The seq field should
contain a strictly increasing 64-bit integer which may be used by
certain IV generators as an input value.  The giv field will be used
to store the generated IV.  It does not need to obey the alignment
requirements of the algorithm because it's not used during the operation.

The existing iv field must still be available as it will be used to store
intermediate IVs and the output IV if chaining is desired.

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

it can't be used at all.

61da88e2b8 [CRYPTO] skcipher: Add givcrypt operations and givcipher type
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.

378f4f51f9 [CRYPTO] skcipher: Add crypto_grab_skcipher interface
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.

devices that implement ciphers with many key sizes since each one would

Since the authenc algorithm is mainly used for legacy purposes where its

332f8840f7 [CRYPTO] ablkcipher: Add distinct ABLKCIPHER type
Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as
type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set.  This is suboptimal because
ablkcipher refers to two things.  On the one hand it refers to the
top-level ablkcipher interface with requests.  On the other hand it
refers to and algorithm type underneath.

As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm
with the ablkcipher interface on top.  This is a problem because
we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level
interface.

This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as
we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST.  The type it associated
with the algorithm implementation only.

Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is
then determined by the mask that's used.  If it's a specific mask
then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the
new ablkcipher interface.

3c09f17c3d [CRYPTO] aead: Add authenc
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 by

	authenc(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).

Elements of GF(2^128) must be presented as u128 *, it encourages automatic
and proper alignment.

The library contains support for two different representations of GF(2^128),
see the comment in gf128mul.h. There different levels of optimization
(memory/speed tradeoff).

The code is based on work by Dr Brian Gladman. Notable changes:
- deletion of two optimization modes
- change from u32 to u64 for faster handling on 64bit machines
- support for 'bbe' representation in addition to the, already implemented,
  'lle' representation.
- move 'inline void' functions from header to 'static void' in the
  source file
- update to use the linux coding style conventions

This patch adds the new type of block ciphers.  Unlike current cipher
algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers
operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data.  As it is block-based,
it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.

The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing
block cipher implementation.  The sg walking is now performed by the
algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer.  This is needed for drivers
that directly support sg lists.  It also improves performance for all
algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.

In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have
a single-block interface.  This will be done after all existing users
have switched over to the new block cipher type.

5c64097aa0 [CRYPTO] scatterwalk: Prepare for block ciphers
This patch prepares the scatterwalk code for use by the new block cipher
type.

Firstly it halves the size of scatter_walk on 32-bit platforms.  This
is important as we allocate at least two of these objects on the stack
for each block cipher operation.

It also exports the symbols since the block cipher code can be built as
a module.

Finally there is a hack in scatterwalk_unmap that relies on progress
being made.  Unfortunately, for hardware crypto we can't guarantee
progress to be made since the hardware can fail.

So this also gets rid of the hack by not advancing the address returned
by scatterwalk_map.

f28776a369 [CRYPTO] cipher: Added encrypt_one/decrypt_one
This patch adds two new operations for the simple cipher that encrypts or
decrypts a single block at a time.  This will be the main interface after
the existing block operations have moved over to the new block ciphers.

It also adds the crypto_cipher type which is currently only used on the
new operations but will be extended to setkey as well once existing users
have been converted to use block ciphers where applicable.

e853c3cfa8 [CRYPTO] api: Added crypto_type support
This patch adds the crypto_type structure which will be used for all new
crypto algorithm types, beginning with block ciphers.

The primary purpose of this abstraction is to allow different crypto_type
objects for crypto algorithms of the same type, in particular, there will
be a different crypto_type objects for asynchronous algorithms.

7fed0bf271 [CRYPTO] api: Add common instance initialisation code
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.

560c06ae1a [CRYPTO] api: Get rid of flags argument to setkey
Now that the tfm is passed directly to setkey instead of the ctx, we no
longer need to pass the &tfm->crt_flags pointer.

This patch also gets rid of a few unnecessary checks on the key length
for ciphers as the cipher layer guarantees that the key length is within
the bounds specified by the algorithm.

Rather than testing dia_setkey every time, this patch does it only once
during crypto_alloc_tfm.  The redundant check from crypto_digest_setkey
is also removed.
