crypto: api - Do not wait for tests during registration

2024-08-24T13:39:15+00:00

As registration is usually carried out during module init, this is a context where as little work as possible should be carried out. Testing may trigger module loads of underlying components, which could even lead back to the module that is registering at the moment. This may lead to dead-locks outside of the Crypto API. Avoid this by not waiting for the tests to complete. They will be scheduled but completion will be asynchronous. Any users will still wait for completion.

crypto: api - Disable boot-test-finished if algapi is a module

2024-05-31T09:34:56+00:00

The boot-test-finished toggle is only necessary if algapi is built into the kernel. Do not include this code if it is a module. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: sig - Fix verify call

2023-06-27T07:40:24+00:00

The dst SG list needs to be set to NULL for verify calls. Do this as otherwise the underlying algorithm may fail. Furthermore the digest needs to be copied just like the source. Fixes: 6cb8815f41a9 ("crypto: sig - Add interface for sign/verify") Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

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: api - Add __crypto_alloc_tfmgfp

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

Use it straight away in crypto_clone_cipher(), as that is not meant to sleep. Fixes: 51d8d6d0f4be ("crypto: cipher - Add crypto_clone_cipher") Signed-off-by: Dmitry Safonov Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: api - Add crypto_clone_tfm

2023-04-20T10:20:04+00:00

This patch adds the helper crypto_clone_tfm. The purpose is to allocate a tfm object with GFP_ATOMIC. As we cannot sleep, the object has to be cloned from an existing tfm object. This allows code paths that cannot otherwise allocate a crypto_tfm object to do so. Once a new tfm has been obtained its key could then be changed without impacting other users.

crypto: api - Add crypto_tfm_get

2023-04-20T10:20:04+00:00

Add a crypto_tfm_get interface to allow tfm objects to be shared. They can still be freed in the usual way. This should only be done with tfm objects with no keys. You must also not modify the tfm flags in any way once it becomes shared. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Reviewed-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: api - Move low-level functions into algapi.h

2023-04-14T10:59:34+00:00

A number of low-level functions were exposed in crypto.h. Move them into algapi.h (and internal.h). Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: api - compile out crypto_boot_test_finished when tests disabled

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

The crypto_boot_test_finished static key is unnecessary when self-tests are disabled in the kconfig, so optimize it out accordingly, along with the entirety of crypto_start_tests(). This mainly avoids the overhead of an unnecessary static_branch_enable() on every boot. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: api - Fix built-in testing dependency failures

2021-09-24T08:03:05+00:00

When complex algorithms that depend on other algorithms are built into the kernel, the order of registration must be done such that the underlying algorithms are ready before the ones on top are registered. As otherwise they would fail during the self-test which is required during registration. In the past we have used subsystem initialisation ordering to guarantee this. The number of such precedence levels are limited and they may cause ripple effects in other subsystems. This patch solves this problem by delaying all self-tests during boot-up for built-in algorithms. They will be tested either when something else in the kernel requests for them, or when we have finished registering all built-in algorithms, whichever comes earlier.
