2009-06-02crypto: testmgr - Allow hash test vectors longer than a pageHerbert Xu1-3/+8
As it stands we will each test hash vector both linearly and as a scatter list if applicable. This means that we cannot have vectors longer than a page, even with scatter lists. This patch fixes this by skipping test vectors with np != 0 when testing linearly. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-06-02crypto: testmgr - Check all test vector lengthsHerbert Xu1-0/+25
As we cannot guarantee the availability of contiguous pages at run-time, all test vectors must either fit within a page, or use scatter lists. In some cases vectors were not checked as to whether they fit inside a page. This patch adds all the missing checks. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-06-02crypto: tcrypt - Do not exit on success in fips modeJarod Wilson1-74/+90
At present, the tcrypt module always exits with an -EAGAIN upon successfully completing all the tests its been asked to run. In fips mode, integrity checking is done by running all self-tests from the initrd, and its much simpler to check the ret from modprobe for success than to scrape dmesg and/or /proc/crypto. Simply stay loaded, giving modprobe a retval of 0, if self-tests all pass and we're in fips mode. A side-effect of tracking success/failure for fips mode is that in non-fips mode, self-test failures will return the actual failure return codes, rather than always returning -EAGAIN, which seems more correct anyway. The tcrypt_test() portion of the patch is dependent on my earlier pair of patches that skip non-fips algs in fips mode, at least to achieve the fully intended behavior. Nb: testing this patch against the cryptodev tree revealed a test failure for sha384, which I have yet to look into...

2009-06-02crypto: testmgr - Mark algs allowed in fips modeJarod Wilson1-0/+23
Set the fips_allowed flag in testmgr.c's alg_test_descs[] for algs that are allowed to be used when in fips mode. One caveat: des isn't actually allowed anymore, but des (and thus also ecb(des)) has to be permitted, because disallowing them results in des3_ede being unable to properly register (see des module init func). Also, crc32 isn't technically on the fips approved list, but I think it gets used in various places that necessitate it being allowed. This list is based on http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cavp/index.html Important note: allowed/approved here does NOT mean "validated", just that its an alg that *could* be validated.

2009-06-02crypto: testmgr - Dynamically allocate xbuf and axbufHerbert Xu3-68/+61
We currently allocate temporary memory that is used for testing statically. This renders the testing engine non-reentrant. As algorithms may nest, i.e., one may construct another in order to carry out a part of its operation, this is unacceptable. For example, it has been reported that an AEAD implementation allocates a cipher in its setkey function, which causes it to fail during testing as the temporary memory is overwritten. This patch replaces the static memory with dynamically allocated buffers. We need a maximum of 16 pages so this slightly increases the chances of an algorithm failing due to memory shortage. However, as testing usually occurs at registration, this shouldn't be a big problem. Reported-by: Shasi Pulijala <spulijala@amcc.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-06-02crypto: testmgr - Print self-test pass notices in fips modeJarod Wilson1-0/+4
According to our FIPS CAVS testing lab guru, when we're in fips mode, we must print out notices of successful self-test completion for every alg to be compliant. New and improved v2, without strncmp crap. Doesn't need to touch a flag though, due to not moving the notest label around anymore. Applies atop '[PATCH v2] crypto: catch base cipher self-test failures in fips mode'. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing this info printed out regardless of whether or not we're in fips mode, I think its useful info, but will stick with only in fips mode for now.

Unfortunately, all the published sample vectors in RFC 3610 and NIST Special Publication 800-38C contain nonce lengths that the kernel's rfc4309 implementation doesn't support, so while using some public domain vectors would have been preferred, its not possible at this time.

2009-06-02crypto: aes-ni - Add support for more modesHuang Ying1-0/+5
Because kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() operations are too slow, the performance gain of general mode implementation + aes-aesni is almost all compensated. The AES-NI support for more modes are implemented as follow: - Add a new AES algorithm implementation named __aes-aesni without kernel_fpu_begin/end() - Use fpu(<mode>(AES)) to provide kenrel_fpu_begin/end() invoking - Add <mode>(AES) ablkcipher, which uses cryptd(fpu(<mode>(AES))) to defer cryption to cryptd context in soft_irq context. Now the ctr, lrw, pcbc and xts support are added. Performance testing based on dm-crypt shows that cryption time can be reduced to 50% of general mode implementation + aes-aesni implementation.

2009-05-31crypto: hash - Fix handling of sg entry that crosses page boundaryHerbert Xu1-3/+4
A quirk that we've always supported is having an sg entry that's bigger than a page, or more generally an sg entry that crosses page boundaries. Even though it would be better to explicitly have to sg entries for this, we need to support it for the existing users, in particular, IPsec. The new ahash sg walking code did try to handle this, but there was a bug where we didn't increment the page so kept on walking on the first page over an dover again. This patch fixes it.

2009-03-04crypto: compress - Add pcomp interfaceGeert Uytterhoeven3-0/+103
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.

2009-02-26crypto: api - Fix module load deadlock with fallback algorithmsHerbert Xu1-2/+13
With the mandatory algorithm testing at registration, we have now created a deadlock with algorithms requiring fallbacks. This can happen if the module containing the algorithm requiring fallback is loaded first, without the fallback module being loaded first. The system will then try to test the new algorithm, find that it needs to load a fallback, and then try to load that. As both algorithms share the same module alias, it can attempt to load the original algorithm again and block indefinitely. As algorithms requiring fallbacks are a special case, we can fix this by giving them a different module alias than the rest. Then it's just a matter of using the right aliases according to what algorithms we're trying to find. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2009-02-19crypto: cryptd - Per-CPU thread implementation based on kcrypto_wqHuang Ying2-117/+104
Original cryptd thread implementation has scalability issue, this patch solve the issue with a per-CPU thread implementation. struct cryptd_queue is defined to be a per-CPU queue, which holds one struct cryptd_cpu_queue for each CPU. In struct cryptd_cpu_queue, a struct crypto_queue holds all requests for the CPU, a struct work_struct is used to run all requests for the CPU. Testing based on dm-crypt on an Intel Core 2 E6400 (two cores) machine shows 19.2% performance gain. The testing script is as follow: -------------------- script begin --------------------------- #!/bin/sh dmc_create() { # Create a crypt device using dmsetup dmsetup create $2 --table "0 `blockdev --getsize $1` crypt cbc(aes-asm)?cryptd?plain:plain babebabebabebabebabebabebabebabe 0 $1 0" } dmsetup remove crypt0 dmsetup remove crypt1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 bs=1M count=4 >& /dev/null dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram1 bs=1M count=4 >& /dev/null dmc_create /dev/ram0 crypt0 dmc_create /dev/ram1 crypt1 cat >tr.sh <<EOF #!/bin/sh for n in \$(seq 10); do dd if=/dev/dm-0 of=/dev/null >& /dev/null & dd if=/dev/dm-1 of=/dev/null >& /dev/null & done wait EOF for n in $(seq 10); do /usr/bin/time sh tr.sh done rm tr.sh -------------------- script end --------------------------- The separator of dm-crypt parameter is changed from "-" to "?", because "-" is used in some cipher driver name too, and cryptds need to specify cipher driver name instead of cipher name.

2009-02-19crypto: api - Use dedicated workqueue for crypto subsystemHuang Ying3-0/+43
Use dedicated workqueue for crypto subsystem A dedicated workqueue named kcrypto_wq is created to be used by crypto subsystem. The system shared keventd_wq is not suitable for encryption/decryption, because of potential starvation problem.

2009-02-18crypto: testmgr - Test skciphers with no IVsHerbert Xu1-4/+16
As it is an skcipher with no IV escapes testing altogether because we only test givcipher objects. This patch fixes the bypass logic to test these algorithms. Conversely, we're currently testing nivaead algorithms with IVs, which would have deadlocked had it not been for the fact that no nivaead algorithms have any test vectors. This patch also fixes that case. Both fixes are ugly as hell, but this ugliness should hopefully disappear once we move them into the per-type code (i.e., the AEAD test would live in aead.c and the skcipher stuff in ablkcipher.c).

2009-02-18crypto: aead - Avoid infinite loop when nivaead fails selftestHerbert Xu1-0/+16
When an aead constructed through crypto_nivaead_default fails its selftest, we'll loop forever trying to construct new aead objects but failing because it already exists. The crux of the issue is that once an aead fails the selftest, we'll ignore it on the next run through crypto_aead_lookup and attempt to construct a new aead. We should instead return an error to the caller if we find an an that has failed the test. This bug hasn't manifested itself yet because we don't have any test vectors for the existing nivaead algorithms. They're tested through the underlying algorithms only.

2009-02-18crypto: api - Fix crypto_alloc_tfm/create_create_tfm return conventionHerbert Xu3-23/+16
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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
