Herbert Xu 77dbd7a95e crypto: api - Fix race condition in larval lookup
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.

Herbert Xu a760a6656e crypto: api - Fix module load deadlock with fallback algorithms
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.

Herbert Xu 3f683d6175 crypto: api - Fix crypto_alloc_tfm/create_create_tfm return convention
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.

Herbert Xu 7b0bac64cd crypto: api - Rebirth of crypto_alloc_tfm
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.

Herbert Xu 4a7794860b crypto: api - Move type exit function into crypto_tfm
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.

Herbert Xu 6d7d684d63 [CRYPTO] api: Added crypto_alloc_base
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.

This patch adds a notifier chain for algorithm/template registration events.
This will be used to register compound algorithms such as cbc(aes).  In
future this will also be passed onto user-space through netlink.

Herbert Xu cce9e06d10 [CRYPTO] api: Split out low-level API
The crypto API is made up of the part facing users such as IPsec and the
low-level part which is used by cryptographic entities such as algorithms.
This patch splits out the latter so that the two APIs are more clearly
delineated.  As a bonus the low-level API can now be modularised if all
algorithms are built as modules.

Herbert Xu 6521f30273 [CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_alg reference counting
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.

Herbert Xu 72fa491912 [CRYPTO] api: Rename crypto_alg_get to crypto_mod_get
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.

Herbert Xu 996e2523cc [CRYPTO] api: Allow replacement when registering new algorithms
We already allow asynchronous removal of existing algorithm modules.  By
allowing the replacement of existing algorithms, we can replace algorithms

Herbert Xu c7fc05992a [CRYPTO] api: Added cra_init/cra_exit
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.

Herbert Xu f10b7897ee [CRYPTO] api: Align tfm context as wide as possible
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.

Herbert Xu 5cb1454b86 [CRYPTO] Allow multiple implementations of the same algorithm
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.

Herbert Xu 64baf3cfea [CRYPTO]: Added CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP flag
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.

Jesper Juhl a61cc44812 [CRYPTO] Add null short circuit to crypto_free_tfm
As far as I'm aware there's a general concensus that functions that are
responsible for freeing resources should be able to cope with being passed
a NULL pointer. This makes sense as it removes the need for all callers to
check for NULL, thus elliminating the bugs that happen when some forget
(safer to just check centrally in the freeing function) and it also makes
for smaller code all over due to the lack of all those NULL checks.
This patch makes it safe to pass the crypto_free_tfm() function a NULL
pointer. Once this patch is applied we can start removing the NULL checks
from the callers.
