2010-11-26crypto: algif_skcipher - User-space interface for skcipher operationsHerbert Xu
This patch adds the af_alg plugin for symmetric key ciphers, corresponding to the ablkcipher kernel operation type. Keys can optionally be set through the setsockopt interface. Once a sendmsg call occurs without MSG_MORE no further writes may be made to the socket until all previous data has been read. IVs and and whether encryption/decryption is performed can be set through the setsockopt interface or as a control message to sendmsg. The interface is completely synchronous, all operations are carried out in recvmsg(2) and will complete prior to the system call returning. The splice(2) interface support reading the user-space data directly without copying (except that the Crypto API itself may copy the data if alignment is off). The recvmsg(2) interface supports directly writing to user-space without additional copying, i.e., the kernel crypto interface will receive the user-space address as its output SG list.

2010-11-19crypto: algif_hash - User-space interface for hash operationsHerbert Xu
This patch adds the af_alg plugin for hash, corresponding to the ahash kernel operation type. Keys can optionally be set through the setsockopt interface. Each sendmsg call will finalise the hash unless sent with a MSG_MORE flag. Partial hash states can be cloned using accept(2). The interface is completely synchronous, all operations will complete prior to the system call returning. Both sendmsg(2) and splice(2) support reading the user-space data directly without copying (except that the Crypto API itself may copy the data if alignment is off). For now only the splice(2) interface supports performing digest instead of init/update/final. In future the sendmsg(2) interface will also be modified to use digest/finup where possible so that hardware that cannot return a partial hash state can still benefit from this interface.

2010-11-19crypto: af_alg - User-space interface for Crypto APIHerbert Xu
This patch creates the backbone of the user-space interface for the Crypto API, through a new socket family AF_ALG. Each session corresponds to one or more connections obtained from that socket. The number depends on the number of inputs/outputs of that particular type of operation. For most types there will be a s ingle connection/file descriptor that is used for both input and output. AEAD is one of the few that require two inputs. Each algorithm type will provide its own implementation that plugs into af_alg. They're keyed using a string such as "skcipher" or "hash". IOW this patch only contains the boring bits that is required to hold everything together. Thakns to Miloslav Trmac for reviewing this and contributing fixes and improvements.

2010-06-03crypto: twofish: Rename twofish to twofish_generic and add an aliasJoachim Fritschi
This fixes the broken autoloading of the corresponding twofish assembler ciphers on x86 and x86_64 if they are available. The module name of the generic implementation was in conflict with the alias in the assembler modules. The generic twofish c implementation is renamed to twofish_generic according to the other algorithms with assembler implementations and an module alias is added for 'twofish'. You can now load 'twofish' giving you the best implementation by priority, 'twofish-generic' to get the c implementation or 'twofish-asm' to get the assembler version of cipher.

2009-03-04crypto: compress - Add pcomp interfaceGeert Uytterhoeven
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.

2008-12-25crypto: hash - Add shash interfaceHerbert Xu
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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-10crypto: api - Disallow cryptomgr as a module if algorithms are built-inHerbert Xu
If we have at least one algorithm built-in then it no longer makes sense to have the testing framework, and hence cryptomgr to be a module. It should be either on or off, i.e., built-in or disabled. This just happens to stop a potential runaway modprobe loop that seems to trigger on at least one distro. With fixes from Evgeniy Polyakov. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2008-01-11[CRYPTO] eseqiv: Add Encrypted Sequence Number IV GeneratorHerbert Xu
This generator generates an IV based on a sequence number by xoring it with a salt and then encrypting it with the same key as used to encrypt the plain text. This algorithm requires that the block size be equal to the IV size. It is mainly useful for CBC. It has one noteworthy property that for IPsec the IV happens to lie just before the plain text so the IV generation simply increases the number of encrypted blocks by one. Therefore the cost of this generator is entirely dependent on the speed of the underlying cipher. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] chainiv: Add chain IV generatorHerbert Xu
The chain IV generator is the one we've been using in the IPsec stack. It simply starts out with a random IV, then uses the last block of each encrypted packet's cipher text as the IV for the next packet. It can only be used by synchronous ciphers since we have to make sure that we don't start the encryption of the next packet until the last one has completed. It does have the advantage of using very little CPU time since it doesn't have to generate anything at all. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2008-01-11[CRYPTO] ctr: Add CTR (Counter) block cipher modeJoy Latten
This patch implements CTR mode for IPsec. It is based off of RFC 3686. Please note: 1. CTR turns a block cipher into a stream cipher. Encryption is done in blocks, however the last block may be a partial block. A "counter block" is encrypted, creating a keystream that is xor'ed with the plaintext. The counter portion of the counter block is incremented after each block of plaintext is encrypted. Decryption is performed in same manner. 2. The CTR counterblock is composed of, nonce + IV + counter The size of the counterblock is equivalent to the blocksize of the cipher. sizeof(nonce) + sizeof(IV) + sizeof(counter) = blocksize The CTR template requires the name of the cipher algorithm, the sizeof the nonce, and the sizeof the iv. ctr(cipher,sizeof_nonce,sizeof_iv) So for example, ctr(aes,4,8) specifies the counterblock will be composed of 4 bytes from a nonce, 8 bytes from the iv, and 4 bytes for counter since aes has a blocksize of 16 bytes. 3. The counter portion of the counter block is stored in big endian for conformance to rfc 3686. Signed-off-by: Joy Latten <latten@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2007-10-10[CRYPTO] aead: Add authencHerbert Xu
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).

2007-07-13async_tx: add the async_tx apiDan Williams
The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional dependencies. It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over the details of different hardware offload engine implementations. Code that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources. I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the 'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to provide an api of the following general format: struct dma_async_tx_descriptor * async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx, dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param) { struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>); struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL; int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0; struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ? device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL; if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */ ... tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index); ... tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index); ... async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param); } else { /* run <operation> synchronously */ ... <operation> ... async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param); } return tx; } async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool. The channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers. The async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays. In the uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility evenly over channels of similar capabilities. For example if there are two copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will handle xor. In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1. When a dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the operation on the same channel. A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will transition between a copy and a xor resource. Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been converted to the async_tx api. A driver for the offload engines on the Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later commit. With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines. On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30% improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55% improvement). For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few percentage points. On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points of the original implementation. According to 'top' on iop342 CPU utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s. The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048 --block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5 * iop342 had 1GB of memory available Details: * if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL * when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a tasklet. if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live polling wait will be performed * the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available channels * In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch interrupts. The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel * Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software xor routine. To the software routine the destination address is an implied source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination. This patch modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address to mirror the hardware. Changelog: * fixed a leftover debug print * don't allow callbacks in async_interrupt_cond * fixed xor_block changes * fixed usage of ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DEST * drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech * printk warning fixups from Andrew Morton * don't use inline in C files, Adrian Bunk * select the API when MD is enabled * BUG_ON xor source counts <= 1 * implicitly handle hardware concerns like channel switching and interrupts, Neil Brown * remove the per operation type list, and distribute operation capabilities evenly amongst the available channels * simplify async_tx_find_channel to optimize the fast path * introduce the channel_table_initialized flag to prevent early calls to the api * reorganize the code to mimic crypto * include mm.h as not all archs include it in dma-mapping.h * make the Kconfig options non-user visible, Adrian Bunk * move async_tx under crypto since it is meant as 'core' functionality, and the two may share algorithms in the future * move large inline functions into c files * checkpatch.pl fixes * gpl v2 only correction Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-By: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2007-07-13xor: make 'xor_blocks' a library routine for use with async_txDan Williams
The async_tx api tries to use a dma engine for an operation, but will fall back to an optimized software routine otherwise. Xor support is implemented using the raid5 xor routines. For organizational purposes this routine is moved to a common area. The following fixes are also made: * rename xor_block => xor_blocks, suggested by Adrian Bunk * ensure that xor.o initializes before md.o in the built-in case * checkpatch.pl fixes * mark calibrate_xor_blocks __init, Adrian Bunk Cc: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Cc: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
2007-05-02[CRYPTO] cryptd: Add software async crypto daemonHerbert Xu
This patch adds the cryptd module which is a template that takes a synchronous software crypto algorithm and converts it to an asynchronous one by executing it in a kernel thread. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
