Several hardware related cipher implementations are implemented as
follows: a "helper" cipher implementation is registered with the
kernel crypto API.
Such helper ciphers are never intended to be called by normal users. In
some cases, calling them via the normal crypto API may even cause
failures including kernel crashes. In a normal case, the "wrapping"
ciphers that use the helpers ensure that these helpers are invoked
such that they cannot cause any calamity.
Considering the AF_ALG user space interface, unprivileged users can
call all ciphers registered with the crypto API, including these
helper ciphers that are not intended to be called directly. That
means, with AF_ALG user space may invoke these helper ciphers
and may cause undefined states or side effects.
To avoid any potential side effects with such helpers, the patch
prevents the helpers to be called directly. A new cipher type
flag is added: CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL. This flag shall be used
to mark helper ciphers. These ciphers can only be used if the
caller invoke the cipher with CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL in the type and
mask field.

Pull <linux/bug.h> cleanup from Paul Gortmaker:
"The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under the one
<linux/bug.h> file. Due to historical reasons, we have some BUG code
in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for BUILD_BUG in
linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h, but old code in
kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time. As a band-aid, kernel.h
was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them.
This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions. Here
is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:
CC lib/string.o
lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
$
$ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
#include <linux/bug.h>
$
We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
still get a compile fail! [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.] Ugh -
very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.
With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:
1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
implicit presence of BUG code.
2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and hence
relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h>
4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.
During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2. But
to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless build
failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix the problem
areas in advance.

If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any
other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then
that header really should be including <linux/bug.h> and not just
expecting it to be implicitly present.
We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these
headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have
been causing compile failures/warnings.

The <linux/crypto.h> (which is in turn in common headers
like tcp.h) wants to use module_name() in an inline fcn.
But having all of <linux/module.h> along for the ride is
overkill and slows down compiles by a measureable amount,
since it in turn includes lots of headers.
Since the inline is never used anywhere in the kernel[1],
we can just remove it, and then also remove the module.h
include as well.
In all the many crypto modules, there were some relying on
crypto.h including module.h -- for them we now explicitly
call out module.h for inclusion.
[1] git grep shows some staging drivers also define the same
static inline, but they also never ever use it.

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.

This is based on a report and patch by Geert Uytterhoeven.
The functions crypto_alloc_tfm and create_create_tfm return a
pointer that needs to be adjusted by the caller when successful
and otherwise an error value. This means that the caller has
to check for the error and only perform the adjustment if the
pointer returned is valid.
Since all callers want to make the adjustment and we know how
to adjust it ourselves, it's much easier to just return adjusted
pointer directly.
The only caveat is that we have to return a void * instead of
struct crypto_tfm *. However, this isn't that bad because both
of these functions are for internal use only (by types code like
shash.c, not even algorithms code).
This patch also moves crypto_alloc_tfm into crypto/internal.h
(crypto_create_tfm is already there) to reflect this.

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.

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.

This patch reintroduces a completely revamped crypto_alloc_tfm.
The biggest change is that we now take two crypto_type objects
when allocating a tfm, a frontend and a backend. In fact this
simply formalises what we've been doing behind the API's back.
For example, as it stands crypto_alloc_ahash may use an
actual ahash algorithm or a crypto_hash algorithm. Putting
this in the API allows us to do this much more cleanly.
The existing types will be converted across gradually.

The type exit function needs to undo any allocations done by the type
init function. However, the type init function may differ depending
on the upper-level type of the transform (e.g., a crypto_blkcipher
instantiated as a crypto_ablkcipher).
So we need to move the exit function out of the lower-level
structure and into crypto_tfm itself.
As it stands this is a no-op since nobody uses exit functions at
all. However, all cases where a lower-level type is instantiated
as a different upper-level type (such as blkcipher as ablkcipher)
will be converted such that they allocate the underlying transform
and use that instead of casting (e.g., crypto_ablkcipher casted
into crypto_blkcipher). That will need to use a different exit
function depending on the upper-level type.
This patch also allows the type init/exit functions to call (or not)
cra_init/cra_exit instead of always calling them from the top level.

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
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.

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.

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.
