This patch updates the list of transforms we support and clarifies that the Block Ciphers interface in fact supports all ciphers including stream ciphers. It also removes the obsolete Configuration Notes section and adds the linux-crypto mailing list as the primary bug reporting address. Finally it documents the fact that setkey should only be called from user context. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

This patch forces HIFN driver to invoke crypto request callbacks from tasklet (softirq context) instead of hardirq context, since network stack expects it to be called from bottom halves. It is done by simply scheduling callback invocation via dedicated tasklet. Workqueue solution was dropped because of tooo slow rescheduling performance (7 times slower than tasklet, for mode details one can check this link: http://tservice.net.ru/~s0mbre/blog/devel/other/2007_11_09.html). Driver passed all AES and DES tests in tcryt.c module. Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Polyakov <johnpol@2ka.mipt.ru> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

Resubmitting this patch which extends sha256_generic.c to support SHA-224 as described in FIPS 180-2 and RFC 3874. HMAC-SHA-224 as described in RFC4231 is then supported through the hmac interface. Patch includes test vectors for SHA-224 and HMAC-SHA-224. SHA-224 chould be chosen as a hash algorithm when 112 bits of security strength is required. Patch generated against the 2.6.24-rc1 kernel and tested against 2.6.24-rc1-git14 which includes fix for scatter gather implementation for HMAC.

This patch exports four tables and the set_key() routine. This ressources can be shared by other AES implementations (aes-x86_64 for instance). The decryption key has been turned around (deckey[0] is the first piece of the key instead of deckey[keylen+20]). The encrypt/decrypt functions are looking now identical (except they are using different tables and key).

This patch adds countersize to CTR mode. The template is now ctr(algo,noncesize,ivsize,countersize). For example, ctr(aes,4,8,4) indicates the counterblock will be composed of a salt/nonce that is 4 bytes, an iv that is 8 bytes and the counter is 4 bytes. When noncesize + ivsize < blocksize, CTR initializes the last block - ivsize - noncesize portion of the block to zero. Otherwise the counter block is composed of the IV (and nonce if necessary). If noncesize + ivsize == blocksize, then this indicates that user is passing in entire counterblock. Thus countersize indicates the amount of bytes in counterblock to use as the counter for incrementing. CTR will increment counter portion by 1, and begin encryption with that value. Note that CTR assumes the counter portion of the block that will be incremented is stored in big endian.

Move code blocks around so that related pieces are closer together: e.g. CAMELLIA_ROUNDSM macro does not need to be separated from the rest of the code by huge array of constants. Remove unused macros (COPY4WORD, SWAP4WORD, XOR4WORD[2]) Drop SUBL(), SUBR() macros which only obscure things. Same for CAMELLIA_SP1110() macro and KEY_TABLE_TYPE typedef. Remove useless comments: /* encryption */ -- well it's obvious enough already! void camellia_encrypt128(...) Combine swap with copying at the beginning/end of encrypt/decrypt.

The code waits in a busy loop until the hardware finishes the encryption or decryption process. This wants a cpu_relax() :) The busy loop finishes either if the encryption is done or if the counter is zero. If the latter is true than the hardware failed.

It is enough if the IV is copied before and after the while loop. With DM-Crypt is seems not be required to save the IV after encrytion because a new one is used in the request (dunno about other users). It is not save to load the IV within while loop and not save afterwards because we mill end up with the wrong IV if the request goes consists of more than one page.

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>

The previous patch fixed spurious read faults from occuring by copying the data if we happen to have a single block at the end of a page. It appears that gcc cannot guarantee 16-byte alignment in the kernel with __attribute__.

As it is crypto_remove_spawn may try to unregister an instance which is yet to be registered. This patch fixes this by checking whether the instance has been registered before attempting to remove it. It also removes a bogus cra_destroy check in crypto_register_instance as 1) it's outside the mutex; 2) we have a check in __crypto_register_alg already.

Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in all.config. For a fix the diffstat is nice: 6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) The patch reverts these commits: - 0f855aa6 ("kconfig: add helper to set config symbol from environment variable") - 2a113281 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets") Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were not needed. With this patch we have following behaviour: # make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...] option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit ===================================================== ./. | 32bit | 64bit ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes precedence over the configuration. So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the other way around. This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no suprises here. make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit and 64-bit using menuconfig.

Attempt to fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8378 Hiroto Shibuya wrote to tell me that he has a VIA EPIA-EK10000 which suffers from the reboot problem when no keyboard is attached. My first patch works for him: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538 But the latest patch does not work for him : http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51 We found that it was necessary to also set the "disable keyboard" flag in the command byte, as the first patch was doing. The second patch tries to minimally modify the command byte, but it is not enough. Please consider this simple one-line patch to help people with low end VIA motherboards reboot when no keyboard is attached. Hiroto Shibuya has verified that this works for him (as I no longer have an afflicted machine). Additional discussion: Note that original patch from Truxton DOES disable keyboard and this has been in main tree since 2.6.14, thus it must have quite a bit of air time already. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.14.y.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538 Note that he only mention "System flag" in the description and comment, but in the code, "disable keyboard" flag is set. outb(0x14, 0x60); /* set "System flag" */ In 2.6.23, he made a change to read the current byte and then mask the flags, but along this change, he only set the "System flag" and dropped the setting of "disable keyboard" flag. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.23.y.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51 outb(cmd | 0x04, 0x60); /* set "System flag" */ So my request is to restore the setting of disable keyboard flag which has been there since 2.6.14 but disappeared in 2.6.23.

Correct potentially unstable PC RTC time register reading in time_64.c Stop the use of an incorrect technique for reading the standard PC RTC timer, which is documented to "disconnect" time registers from the bus while updates are in progress. The use of UIP flag while interrupts are disabled to protect a 244 microsecond window is one of the Motorola spec sheet's documented ways to read the RTC time registers reliably. tglx: removed locking changes from original patch, as they gain nothing (read_persistent_clock is only called during boot, suspend, resume - so no hot path affected) and conflict with the paravirt locking scheme (see 32bit code), which we do not want to complicate for no benefit.

Fix hard freeze on x86_64 when the ntpd service calls update_persistent_clock() A repeatable but randomly timed freeze has been happening in Fedora 6 and 7 for the last year, whenever I run the ntpd service on my AMD64x2 HP Pavilion dv9000z laptop. This freeze is due to the use of spin_lock(&rtc_lock) under the assumption (per a bad comment) that set_rtc_mmss is called only with interrupts disabled. The call from ntp.c to update_persistent_clock is made with interrupts enabled. Signed-off-by: David P. Reed <dpreed@reed.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
