2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Mark parts of cipher interface as deprecatedHerbert Xu1-6/+28
Mark the parts of the cipher interface that have been replaced by block ciphers as deprecated. Thanks to Andrew Morton for suggesting doing this before removing them completely. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] scatterwalk: Prepare for block ciphersHerbert Xu1-14/+13
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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] cipher: Added encrypt_one/decrypt_oneHerbert Xu1-0/+48
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.

2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Feed flag directly to crypto_yieldHerbert Xu1-1/+1
The sleeping flag used to determine whether crypto_yield can actually yield is really a per-operation flag rather than a per-tfm flag. This patch changes crypto_yield to take a flag directly so that we can start using a per-operation flag instead the tfm flag. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] cipher: Removed special IV checks for ECBHerbert Xu1-0/+2
This patch makes IV operations on ECB fail through nocrypt_iv rather than calling BUG(). This is needed to generalise CBC/ECB using the template mechanism. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-09-21[CRYPTO] api: Get rid of flags argument to setkeyHerbert Xu1-2/+2
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.

2006-06-26[CRYPTO] all: Pass tfm instead of ctx to algorithmsHerbert Xu1-7/+7
Up until now algorithms have been happy to get a context pointer since they know everything that's in the tfm already (e.g., alignment, block size). However, once we have parameterised algorithms, such information will be specific to each tfm. So the algorithm API needs to be changed to pass the tfm structure instead of the context pointer. This patch is basically a text substitution. The only tricky bit is the assembly routines that need to get the context pointer offset through asm-offsets.h.

2006-01-09[CRYPTO] cipher: Align temporary buffer in cbc_process_decryptHerbert Xu1-2/+3
Since the temporary buffer is used as an argument to cia_decrypt, it must be aligned by cra_alignmask. This bug was found by linux@horizon.com. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2005-09-06[CRYPTO] Fix boundary check in standard multi-block cipher processorsHerbert Xu1-3/+9
The boundary check in the standard multi-block cipher processors are broken when nbytes is not a multiple of bsize. In those cases it will always process an extra block. This patch corrects the check so that it processes at most nbytes of data. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-09-01[CRYPTO]: Added CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP flagHerbert Xu1-4/+0
The crypto layer currently uses in_atomic() to determine whether it is allowed to sleep. This is incorrect since spin locks don't always cause in_atomic() to return true. Instead of that, this patch returns to an earlier idea of a per-tfm flag which determines whether sleeping is allowed. Unlike the earlier version, the default is to not allow sleeping. This ensures that no existing code can break. As usual, this flag may either be set through crypto_alloc_tfm(), or just before a specific crypto operation.

2005-07-06[CRYPTO] Handle unaligned iv from encrypt_iv/decrypt_ivHerbert Xu1-2/+27
Even though cit_iv is now always aligned, the user can still supply an unaligned iv through crypto_cipher_encrypt_iv/crypto_cipher_decrypt_iv. This patch will check the alignment of the user-supplied iv and copy it if necessary. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-07-06[CRYPTO] Ensure cit_iv is aligned correctlyHerbert Xu1-6/+9
This patch ensures that cit_iv is aligned according to cra_alignmask by allocating it as part of the tfm structure. As a side effect the crypto layer will also guarantee that the tfm ctx area has enough space to be aligned by cra_alignmask. This allows us to remove the extra space reservation from the Padlock driver. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-07-06[CRYPTO] Add alignmask for low-level cipher implementationsHerbert Xu1-7/+36
The VIA Padlock device requires the input and output buffers to be aligned on 16-byte boundaries. This patch adds the alignmask attribute for low-level cipher implementations to indicate their alignment requirements. The mid-level crypt() function will copy the input/output buffers if they are not aligned correctly before they are passed to the low-level implementation. Strictly speaking, some of the software implementations require the buffers to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries as they do 32-bit loads. However, it is not clear whether it is better to copy the buffers or pay the penalty for unaligned loads/stores. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-07-06[CRYPTO] Add support for low-level multi-block operationsHerbert Xu1-20/+18
This patch adds hooks for cipher algorithms to implement multi-block ECB/CBC operations directly. This is expected to provide significant performance boots to the VIA Padlock. It could also be used for improving software implementations such as AES where operating on multiple blocks at a time may enable certain optimisations.

2005-07-06[CRYPTO] Add plumbing for multi-block operationsHerbert Xu1-90/+156
The VIA Padlock device is able to perform much better when multiple blocks are fed to it at once. As this device offers an exceptional throughput rate it is worthwhile to optimise the infrastructure specifically for it. We shift the existing page-sized fast path down to the CBC/ECB functions. We can then replace the CBC/ECB functions with functions provided by the underlying algorithm that performs the multi-block operations. As a side-effect this improves the performance of large cipher operations for all existing algorithm implementations. I've measured the gain to be around 5% for 3DES and 15% for AES.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+341
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
