b8454eebe3 crypto: prng - Deterministic CPRNG
This patch adds a cryptographic pseudo-random number generator
based on CTR(AES-128).  It is meant to be used in cases where a
deterministic CPRNG is required.

One of the first applications will be as an input in the IPsec IV
generation process.

806d183aa6 [CRYPTO] eseqiv: Add Encrypted Sequence Number IV Generator
This generator generates an IV based on a sequence number by xoring it
with a salt and then encrypting it with the same key as used to encrypt
the plain text.  This algorithm requires that the block size be equal
to the IV size.  It is mainly useful for CBC.

It has one noteworthy property that for IPsec the IV happens to lie
just before the plain text so the IV generation simply increases the
number of encrypted blocks by one.  Therefore the cost of this generator
is entirely dependent on the speed of the underlying cipher.

7f47073911 [CRYPTO] chainiv: Add chain IV generator
The chain IV generator is the one we've been using in the IPsec stack.
It simply starts out with a random IV, then uses the last block of each
encrypted packet's cipher text as the IV for the next packet.

It can only be used by synchronous ciphers since we have to make sure
that we don't start the encryption of the next packet until the last
one has completed.

It does have the advantage of using very little CPU time since it doesn't
have to generate anything at all.

ablkcipher algorithms will use it to create givcipher objects.  As such
it no longer makes sense to split the system between ablkcipher and

23e353c8a6 [CRYPTO] ctr: Add CTR (Counter) block cipher mode
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.

ad5d27899f [CRYPTO] sha: Load the SHA[1|256] module by an alias
Loading the crypto algorithm by the alias instead of by module directly
has the advantage that all possible implementations of this algorithm
are loaded automatically and the crypto API can choose the best one
depending on its priority.

Additionally it ensures that the generic implementation as well as the
HW driver (if available) is loaded in case the HW driver needs the
generic version as fallback in corner cases.

Also remove the probe for sha1 in padlock's init code.

Quote from Herbert:
  The probe is actually pointless since we can always probe when
  the algorithm is actually used which does not lead to dead-locks
  like this.

3c09f17c3d [CRYPTO] aead: Add authenc
This patch adds the authenc algorithm which constructs an AEAD algorithm
from an asynchronous block cipher and a hash.  The construction is done
by concatenating the encrypted result from the cipher with the output
from the hash, as is used by the IPsec ESP protocol.

The authenc algorithm exists as a template with four parameters:

	authenc(auth, authsize, enc, enckeylen).

The authentication algorithm, the authentication size (i.e., truncating
the output of the authentication algorithm), the encryption algorithm,
and the encryption key length.  Both the size field and the key length
field are in bytes.  For example, AES-128 with SHA1-HMAC would be
represented by

	authenc(hmac(sha1), 12, cbc(aes), 16)

The key for the authenc algorithm is the concatenation of the keys for
the authentication algorithm with the encryption algorithm.  For the
above example, if a key of length 36 bytes is given, then hmac(sha1)
would receive the first 20 bytes while the last 16 would be given to
cbc(aes).

This patch adds crypto_aead which is the interface for AEAD
(Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) algorithms.

AEAD algorithms perform authentication and encryption in one
step.  Traditionally users (such as IPsec) would use two
different crypto algorithms to perform these.  With AEAD
this comes down to one algorithm and one operation.

Of course if traditional algorithms were used we'd still
be doing two operations underneath.  However, real AEAD
algorithms may allow the underlying operations to be
optimised as well.

9bc89cd82d async_tx: add the async_tx api
The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
dependencies.  It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
the details of different hardware offload engine implementations.  Code
that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the
api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources. 
 
	I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the
	'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as
	appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown

async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to
provide an api of the following general format:

struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *
async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx,
			dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param)
{
	struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>);
	struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL;
	int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0;
	struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ?
		device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL;

	if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */
		...
		tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index);
		...
		tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index);
		...
		async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
	} else { /* run <operation> synchronously */
		...
		<operation>
		...
		async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
	}

	return tx;
}

async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool.  The
channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers.  The
async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays.  In the
uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility
evenly over channels of similar capabilities.  For example if there are two
copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will
handle xor.  In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the
operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor
channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1.  When a
dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the
operation on the same channel.  A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one
channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will
transition between a copy and a xor resource.

Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been
converted to the async_tx api.  A driver for the offload engines on the
Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later
commit.  With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload
copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines.
 
On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30%
improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55%
improvement).  For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few
percentage points.  On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx
implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points
of the original implementation.  According to 'top' on iop342 CPU
utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed
according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s.
 
The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048
--block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5
* iop342 had 1GB of memory available

Details:
* if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making
  async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL
* when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will
  fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a
  tasklet.  if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live
  polling wait will be performed
* the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available
  channels
* In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch
  interrupts.  The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes
  pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel
* Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software
  xor routine.  To the software routine the destination address is an implied
  source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination.  This patch
  modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address
  to mirror the hardware.

It implements the optimization specified as optional in the

routines from gf128mul.c.

Since gf128mul.[ch] is not tested on bigendian, this cipher mode
may currently fail badly on bigendian machines.

c494e0705d [CRYPTO] lib: table driven multiplications in GF(2^128)
A lot of cypher modes need multiplications in GF(2^128). LRW, ABL, GCM...
I use functions from this library in my LRW implementation and I will
also use them in my ABL (Arbitrary Block Length, an unencumbered (correct
me if I am wrong, wide block cipher mode).

Elements of GF(2^128) must be presented as u128 *, it encourages automatic
and proper alignment.

The library contains support for two different representations of GF(2^128),
see the comment in gf128mul.h. There different levels of optimization
(memory/speed tradeoff).

The code is based on work by Dr Brian Gladman. Notable changes:
- deletion of two optimization modes
- change from u32 to u64 for faster handling on 64bit machines
- support for 'bbe' representation in addition to the, already implemented,
  'lle' representation.
- move 'inline void' functions from header to 'static void' in the
  source file
- update to use the linux coding style conventions

For the ease of transition the new interface will be known as "hash"
while the old one will remain as "digest".

This patch also changes sg_next to allow chaining.

db131ef908 [CRYPTO] cipher: Added block ciphers for CBC/ECB
This patch adds two block cipher algorithms, CBC and ECB.  These
are implemented as templates on top of existing single-block cipher
algorithms.  They invoke the single-block cipher through the new
encrypt_one/decrypt_one interface.

This also optimises the in-place encryption and decryption to remove
the cost of an IV copy each round.

5cde0af2a9 [CRYPTO] cipher: Added block cipher type
This patch adds the new type of block ciphers.  Unlike current cipher
algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers
operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data.  As it is block-based,
it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.

The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing
block cipher implementation.  The sg walking is now performed by the
algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer.  This is needed for drivers
that directly support sg lists.  It also improves performance for all
algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.

In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have
a single-block interface.  This will be done after all existing users
have switched over to the new block cipher type.

2b8c19dbdc [CRYPTO] api: Add cryptomgr
The cryptomgr module is a simple manager of crypto algorithm instances.
It ensures that parameterised algorithms of the type tmpl(alg) (e.g.,
cbc(aes)) are always created.

This is meant to satisfy the needs for most users.  For more complex
cases such as deeper combinations or multiple parameters, a netlink
module will be created which allows arbitrary expressions to be parsed
in user-space.

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.

2729bb427f [CRYPTO] twofish: Split out common c code
This patch splits up the twofish crypto routine into a common part ( key
setup  ) which will be uses by all twofish crypto modules ( generic-c , i586
assembler and x86_64 assembler ) and generic-c part. It also creates a new
header file which will be used by all 3 modules.

This eliminates all code duplication.

Correctness was verified with the tcrypt module and automated test scripts.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
