crypto: authenc - use memcpy_sglist() instead of null skcipher

2026-04-30T09:17:21+00:00

commit dbc4b1458e931e47198c3165ff5853bc1ad6bd7a upstream. For copying data between two scatterlists, just use memcpy_sglist() instead of the so-called "null skcipher". This is much simpler.

crypto: sig - Add interface for sign/verify

2023-06-23T08:15:36+00:00

Split out the sign/verify functionality from the existing akcipher interface. Most algorithms in akcipher either support encryption and decryption, or signing and verify. Only one supports both. As a signature algorithm may not support encryption at all, these two should be spearated. For now sig is simply a wrapper around akcipher as all algorithms remain unchanged. This is a first step and allows users to start allocating sig instead of akcipher. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: geniv - Split geniv out of AEAD Kconfig option

2023-06-23T08:15:36+00:00

Give geniv its own Kconfig option so that its dependencies are distinct from that of the AEAD API code. This also allows it to be disabled if no IV generators (seqiv/echainiv) are enabled. Remove the obsolete select on RNG2 by SKCIPHER2 as skcipher IV generators disappeared long ago. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: algboss - Add missing dependency on RNG2

The testmgr code uses crypto_rng without depending on it. Add an explicit dependency to Kconfig. Also sort the MANAGER2 dependencies alphabetically. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: jitter - add interface for gathering of raw entropy

2023-05-12T10:48:01+00:00

The test interface allows a privileged process to capture the raw unconditioned noise that is collected by the Jitter RNG for statistical analysis. Such testing allows the analysis how much entropy the Jitter RNG noise source provides on a given platform. The obtained data is the time stamp sampled by the Jitter RNG. Considering that the Jitter RNG inserts the delta of this time stamp compared to the immediately preceding time stamp, the obtained data needs to be post-processed accordingly to obtain the data the Jitter RNG inserts into its entropy pool. The raw entropy collection is provided to obtain the raw unmodified time stamps that are about to be added to the Jitter RNG entropy pool and are credited with entropy. Thus, this patch adds an interface which renders the Jitter RNG insecure. This patch is NOT INTENDED FOR PRODUCTION SYSTEMS, but solely for development/test systems to verify the available entropy rate. Access to the data is given through the jent_raw_hires debugfs file. The data buffer should be multiples of sizeof(u32) to fill the entire buffer. Using the option jitterentropy_testing.boot_raw_hires_test=1 the raw noise of the first 1000 entropy events since boot can be sampled. This test interface allows generating the data required for analysis whether the Jitter RNG is in compliance with SP800-90B sections 3.1.3 and 3.1.4. If the test interface is not compiled, its code is a noop which has no impact on the performance. Signed-off-by: Stephan Mueller Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: jitter - replace LFSR with SHA3-256

2023-05-12T10:48:01+00:00

Using the kernel crypto API, the SHA3-256 algorithm is used as conditioning element to replace the LFSR in the Jitter RNG. All other parts of the Jitter RNG are unchanged. The application and use of the SHA-3 conditioning operation is identical to the user space Jitter RNG 3.4.0 by applying the following concept: - the Jitter RNG initializes a SHA-3 state which acts as the "entropy pool" when the Jitter RNG is allocated. - When a new time delta is obtained, it is inserted into the "entropy pool" with a SHA-3 update operation. Note, this operation in most of the cases is a simple memcpy() onto the SHA-3 stack. - To cause a true SHA-3 operation for each time delta operation, a second SHA-3 operation is performed hashing Jitter RNG status information. The final message digest is also inserted into the "entropy pool" with a SHA-3 update operation. Yet, this data is not considered to provide any entropy, but it shall stir the entropy pool. - To generate a random number, a SHA-3 final operation is performed to calculate a message digest followed by an immediate SHA-3 init to re-initialize the "entropy pool". The obtained message digest is one block of the Jitter RNG that is returned to the caller. Mathematically speaking, the random number generated by the Jitter RNG is: aux_t = SHA-3(Jitter RNG state data) Jitter RNG block = SHA-3(time_i || aux_i || time_(i-1) || aux_(i-1) || ... || time_(i-255) || aux_(i-255)) when assuming that the OSR = 1, i.e. the default value. This operation implies that the Jitter RNG has an output-blocksize of 256 bits instead of the 64 bits of the LFSR-based Jitter RNG that is replaced with this patch. The patch also replaces the varying number of invocations of the conditioning function with one fixed number of invocations. The use of the conditioning function consistent with the userspace Jitter RNG library version 3.4.0. The code is tested with a system that exhibited the least amount of entropy generated by the Jitter RNG: the SiFive Unmatched RISC-V system. The measured entropy rate is well above the heuristically implied entropy value of 1 bit of entropy per time delta. On all other tested systems, the measured entropy rate is even higher by orders of magnitude. The measurement was performed using updated tooling provided with the user space Jitter RNG library test framework. The performance of the Jitter RNG with this patch is about en par with the performance of the Jitter RNG without the patch. Signed-off-by: Stephan Mueller Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

LoongArch: crypto: Add crc32 and crc32c hw acceleration

2023-05-01T09:19:43+00:00

With a blatant copy of some MIPS bits we introduce the crc32 and crc32c hw accelerated module to LoongArch. LoongArch has provided these instructions to calculate crc32 and crc32c: * crc.w.b.w crcc.w.b.w * crc.w.h.w crcc.w.h.w * crc.w.w.w crcc.w.w.w * crc.w.d.w crcc.w.d.w So we can make use of these instructions to improve the performance of calculation for crc32(c) checksums. As can be seen from the following test results, crc32(c) instructions can improve the performance by 58%.
