* crypto: prefix module autoloading with "crypto-"Kees Cook2014-11-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | This prefixes all crypto module loading with "crypto-" so we never run the risk of exposing module auto-loading to userspace via a crypto API, as demonstrated by Mathias Krause: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/4/70 Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* crypto: api - Fix race condition in larval lookupHerbert Xu2013-09-081-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | crypto_larval_lookup should only return a larval if it created one. Any larval created by another entity must be processed through crypto_larval_wait before being returned. Otherwise this will lead to a larval being killed twice, which will most likely lead to a crash.

The use of wait_for_completion_interruptible is intentional so that we don't lock up the thread if a bug causes us to never wake up. This bug is caused by the helper thread using the larval without holding a reference count on it. If the helper thread completes after the original thread requesting for help has gone away and destroyed the larval, then we get the crash above. So the fix is to hold a reference count on the larval.

| * crypto: api - Fix crypto_alloc_tfm/create_create_tfm return conventionHerbert Xu2009-02-181-8/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
| * crypto: api - crypto_alg_mod_lookup either tested or untestedHerbert Xu2009-02-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it stands crypto_alg_mod_lookup will search either tested or untested algorithms, but never both at the same time. However, we need exactly that when constructing givcipher and aead so this patch adds support for that by setting the tested bit in type but clearing it in mask. This combination is currently unused.

* | crypto: api - Fix module load deadlock with fallback algorithmsHerbert Xu2009-02-261-2/+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>

* crypto: api - Rebirth of crypto_alloc_tfmHerbert Xu2008-12-251-0/+108
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* crypto: api - Move type exit function into crypto_tfmHerbert Xu2008-12-251-7/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* crypto: api - Use test infrastructureHerbert Xu2008-08-291-15/+58

* [CRYPTO] skcipher: Create default givcipher instancesHerbert Xu2008-01-101-5/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

* [CRYPTO] api: Added crypto_alloc_baseHerbert Xu2006-09-211-0/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up until now all crypto transforms have been of the same type, struct crypto_tfm, regardless of whether they are ciphers, digests, or other types. As a result of that, we check the types at run-time before each crypto operation. This is rather cumbersome. We could instead use different C types for each crypto type to ensure that the correct types are used at compile time. That is, we would have crypto_cipher/crypto_digest instead of just crypto_tfm. The appropriate type would then be required for the actual operations such as crypto_digest_digest. Now that we have the type/mask fields when looking up algorithms, it is easy to request for an algorithm of the precise type that the user wants. However, crypto_alloc_tfm currently does not expose these new attributes. This patch introduces the function crypto_alloc_base which will carry these new parameters. It will be renamed to crypto_alloc_tfm once all existing users have been converted. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

* [CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_alg reference countingHerbert Xu2006-09-211-6/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Up until now we've relied on module reference counting to ensure that the crypto_alg structures don't disappear from under us. This was good enough as long as each crypto_alg came from exactly one module. However, with parameterised crypto algorithms a crypto_alg object may need two or more modules to operate. This means that we need to count the references to the crypto_alg object directly. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [CRYPTO] api: Rename crypto_alg_get to crypto_mod_getHerbert Xu2006-09-211-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The functions crypto_alg_get and crypto_alg_put operates on the crypto modules rather than the algorithms. Therefore it makes sense to call them crypto_mod_get and crypto_alg_put respectively. This is needed because we need to have real algorithm reference counters for parameterised algorithms as they can be unregistered from below by when their parameter algorithms are themselves unregistered.

* [CRYPTO] api: Allow replacement when registering new algorithmsHerbert Xu2006-06-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | We already allow asynchronous removal of existing algorithm modules. By allowing the replacement of existing algorithms, we can replace algorithms without having to wait for for all existing users to complete. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [CRYPTO] api: Removed const from cra_name/cra_driver_nameHerbert Xu2006-06-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | We do need to change these names now and even more so in future with instantiated algorithms. So let's stop lying to the compiler and get rid of the const modifiers. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [CRYPTO] api: Added cra_init/cra_exitHerbert Xu2006-06-261-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the hooks cra_init/cra_exit which are called during a tfm's construction and destruction respectively. This will be used by the instances to allocate child tfm's. For now this lets us get rid of the coa_init/coa_exit functions which are used for exactly that purpose (unlike the dia_init function which is called for each transaction). In fact the coa_exit path is currently buggy as it may get called twice when an error is encountered during initialisation. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

* [CRYPTO] api: Align tfm context as wide as possibleHerbert Xu2006-03-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since tfm contexts can contain arbitrary types we should provide at least natural alignment (__attribute__ ((__aligned__))) for them. In particular, this is needed on the Xscale which is a 32-bit architecture with a u64 type that requires 64-bit alignment. This problem was reported by Ronen Shitrit. The crypto_tfm structure's size was 44 bytes on 32-bit architectures and 80 bytes on 64-bit architectures. So adding this requirement only means that we have to add an extra 4 bytes on 32-bit architectures. On i386 the natural alignment is 16 bytes which also benefits the VIA Padlock as it no longer has to manually align its context structure to 128 bits.

* [CRYPTO] api: Require block size to be less than PAGE_SIZE/8Herbert Xu2006-01-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | The cipher code path may allocate up to two blocks of data on the stack. Therefore we need to place limits on the maximum block size. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [CRYPTO] Allow multiple implementations of the same algorithmHerbert Xu2006-01-091-6/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the first step on the road towards asynchronous support in the Crypto API. It adds support for having multiple crypto_alg objects for the same algorithm registered in the system. For example, each device driver would register a crypto_alg object for each algorithm that it supports. While at the same time the user may load software implementations of those same algorithms. Users of the Crypto API may then select a specific implementation by name, or choose any implementation for a given algorithm with the highest priority. The priority field is a 32-bit signed integer. In future it will be possible to modify it from user-space. This also provides a solution to the problem of selecting amongst various AES implementations, that is, aes vs. aes-i586 vs. aes-padlock.

* [CRYPTO] Check cra_alignmask against cra_blocksizeHerbert Xu2005-10-301-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | The cipher code relies on the fact that the block size is a multiple of the required alignment. So we should check this at the time of algorith registration. We also ensure that the block size is bounded by the page size. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [CRYPTO]: Added CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP flagHerbert Xu2005-09-021-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
