crypto: engine - Add KPP Support to Crypto Engine

2021-10-29T13:04:03+00:00

Add KPP support to the crypto engine queue manager, so that it can be used to simplify the logic of KPP device drivers as done for other crypto drivers. Signed-off-by: Prabhjot Khurana Signed-off-by: Daniele Alessandrelli Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: remove cipher routines from public crypto API

2021-01-02T21:41:35+00:00

The cipher routines in the crypto API are mostly intended for templates implementing skcipher modes generically in software, and shouldn't be used outside of the crypto subsystem. So move the prototypes and all related definitions to a new header file under include/crypto/internal. Also, let's use the new module namespace feature to move the symbol exports into a new namespace CRYPTO_INTERNAL. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Acked-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: af_alg - add extra parameters for DRBG interface

2020-09-25T07:48:52+00:00

Extend the user-space RNG interface: 1. Add entropy input via ALG_SET_DRBG_ENTROPY setsockopt option; 2. Add additional data input via sendmsg syscall. This allows DRBG to be tested with test vectors, for example for the purpose of CAVP testing, which otherwise isn't possible. To prevent erroneous use of entropy input, it is hidden under CRYPTO_USER_API_RNG_CAVP config option and requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN to succeed.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "It's been a busy cycle for documentation - hopefully the busiest for a while to come. Changes include: - Some new Chinese translations - Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS URLs - Some block-mq documentation - More RST conversions from Mauro. At this point, that task is essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again for a while. Unless we decide to switch to asciidoc or something...:) - Lots of typo fixes, warning fixes, and more" * tag 'docs-5.9' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (195 commits) scripts/kernel-doc: optionally treat warnings as errors docs: ia64: correct typo mailmap: add entry for doc/zh_CN: add cpu-load Chinese version Documentation/admin-guide: tainted-kernels: fix spelling mistake MAINTAINERS: adjust kprobes.rst entry to new location devices.txt: document rfkill allocation PCI: correct flag name docs: filesystems: vfs: correct flag name docs: filesystems: vfs: correct sync_mode flag names docs: path-lookup: markup fixes for emphasis docs: path-lookup: more markup fixes docs: path-lookup: fix HTML entity mojibake CREDITS: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones docs: process: Add an example for creating a fixes tag doc/zh_CN: add Chinese translation prefer section doc/zh_CN: add clearing-warn-once Chinese version doc/zh_CN: add admin-guide index doc:it_IT: process: coding-style.rst: Correct __maybe_unused compiler label futex: MAINTAINERS: Re-add selftests directory ...

crypto: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones

2020-07-23T07:34:20+00:00

Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

docs: crypto: descore-readme.txt: convert to ReST format

2020-06-19T20:05:22+00:00

Convert this readme file to ReST file format, preserving its contents as-is as much as possible. The only changes are: - Added chapter and title markups; - Added blank lines where needed; - Added list markups where needed; - Use a table markup; - replace markups like `foo' to ``foo``; - add one extra literal markup to avoid warnings.

crypto: algapi - make unregistration functions return void

2019-12-20T06:58:35+00:00

Some of the algorithm unregistration functions return -ENOENT when asked to unregister a non-registered algorithm, while others always return 0 or always return void. But no users check the return value, except for two of the bulk unregistration functions which print a message on error but still always return 0 to their caller, and crypto_del_alg() which calls crypto_unregister_instance() which always returns 0. Since unregistering a non-registered algorithm is always a kernel bug but there isn't anything callers should do to handle this situation at runtime, let's simplify things by making all the unregistration functions return void, and moving the error message into crypto_unregister_alg() and upgrading it to a WARN().
