crypto: algboss - compile out test-related code when tests disabled

2022-11-25T09:39:18+00:00

When CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS is set, the code in algboss.c that handles CRYPTO_MSG_ALG_REGISTER is unnecessary, so make it be compiled out. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: algboss - optimize registration of internal algorithms

2022-11-25T09:39:18+00:00

Since algboss always skips testing of algorithms with the CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL flag, there is no need to go through the dance of creating the test kthread, which creates a lot of overhead. Instead, we can just directly finish the algorithm registration, like is now done when self-tests are disabled entirely. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

exit: Rename module_put_and_exit to module_put_and_kthread_exit

2021-12-13T18:04:45+00:00

Update module_put_and_exit to call kthread_exit instead of do_exit. Change the name to reflect this change in functionality. All of the users of module_put_and_exit are causing the current kthread to exit so this change makes it clear what is happening. There is no functional change. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

crypto: api - remove CRYPTOA_U32 and related functions

2021-06-17T07:07:31+00:00

According to the advice of Eric and Herbert, type CRYPTOA_U32 has been unused for over a decade, so remove the code related to CRYPTOA_U32. After removing CRYPTOA_U32, the type of the variable attrs can be changed from union to struct. Signed-off-by: Liu Shixin Reviewed-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: algboss - don't wait during notifier callback

2020-06-15T07:38:54+00:00

When a crypto template needs to be instantiated, CRYPTO_MSG_ALG_REQUEST is sent to crypto_chain. cryptomgr_schedule_probe() handles this by starting a thread to instantiate the template, then waiting for this thread to complete via crypto_larval::completion. This can deadlock because instantiating the template may require loading modules, and this (apparently depending on userspace) may need to wait for the crc-t10dif module (lib/crc-t10dif.c) to be loaded. But crc-t10dif's module_init function uses crypto_register_notifier() and therefore takes crypto_chain.rwsem for write. That can't proceed until the notifier callback has finished, as it holds this semaphore for read. Fix this by removing the wait on crypto_larval::completion from within cryptomgr_schedule_probe(). It's actually unnecessary because crypto_alg_mod_lookup() calls crypto_larval_wait() itself after sending CRYPTO_MSG_ALG_REQUEST. This only actually became a problem in v4.20 due to commit b76377543b73 ("crc-t10dif: Pick better transform if one becomes available"), but the unnecessary wait was much older.

crypto: algapi - remove crypto_template::{alloc,free}()

2020-01-09T03:30:58+00:00

Now that all templates provide a ->create() method which creates an instance, installs a strongly-typed ->free() method directly to it, and registers it, the older ->alloc() and ->free() methods in 'struct crypto_template' are no longer used. Remove them. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: run initcalls for generic implementations earlier

2019-04-18T14:15:03+00:00

Use subsys_initcall for registration of all templates and generic algorithm implementations, rather than module_init. Then change cryptomgr to use arch_initcall, to place it before the subsys_initcalls. This is needed so that when both a generic and optimized implementation of an algorithm are built into the kernel (not loadable modules), the generic implementation is registered before the optimized one. Otherwise, the self-tests for the optimized implementation are unable to allocate the generic implementation for the new comparison fuzz tests. Note that on arm, a side effect of this change is that self-tests for generic implementations may run before the unaligned access handler has been installed. So, unaligned accesses will crash the kernel. This is arguably a good thing as it makes it easier to detect that type of bug. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: api - Introduce notifier for new crypto algorithms

2018-09-04T03:37:04+00:00

Introduce a facility that can be used to receive a notification callback when a new algorithm becomes available. This can be used by existing crypto registrations to trigger a switch from a software-only algorithm to a hardware-accelerated version. A new CRYPTO_MSG_ALG_LOADED state is introduced to the existing crypto notification chain, and the register/unregister functions are exported so they can be called by subsystems outside of crypto.

crypto: algboss - remove redundant setting of len to zero

2017-10-07T04:10:34+00:00

The variable len is set to zero, never read and then later updated to p - name, so clearly the zero'ing of len is redundant and can be removed. Detected by clang scan-build: " warning: Value stored to 'len' is never read" Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
