<id>urn:sha1:f05ccf6a6ac6a495e6e653236f44ab161ff94432</id>
<content type='text'>
commit f900fde28883602b6c5e1027a6c912b673382aaf upstream.

The performance of the crypto fuzz tests has greatly regressed since
v5.18.  When booting a kernel on an arm64 dev board with all software
crypto algorithms and CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS enabled, the
fuzz tests now take about 200 seconds to run, or about 325 seconds with
lockdep enabled, compared to about 5 seconds before.

The root cause is that the random number generation has become much
slower due to commit d4150779e60f ("random32: use real rng for
non-deterministic randomness").  On my same arm64 dev board, at the time
the fuzz tests are run, get_random_u8() is about 345x slower than
prandom_u32_state(), or about 469x if lockdep is enabled.

Lockdep makes a big difference, but much of the rest comes from the
get_random_*() functions taking a *very* slow path when the CRNG is not
yet initialized.  Since the crypto self-tests run early during boot,
even having a hardware RNG driver enabled (CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_QCOM_RNG in
my case) doesn't prevent this.  x86 systems don't have this issue, but
they still see a significant regression if lockdep is enabled.

Converting the "Fully random bytes" case in generate_random_bytes() to
use get_random_bytes() helps significantly, improving the test time to
about 27 seconds.  But that's still over 5x slower than before.

This is all a bit silly, though, since the fuzz tests don't actually
need cryptographically secure random numbers.  So let's just make them
use a non-cryptographically-secure RNG as they did before.  The original
prandom_u32() is gone now, so let's use prandom_u32_state() instead,
with an explicitly managed state, like various other self-tests in the
kernel source tree (rbtree_test.c, test_scanf.c, etc.) already do.  This
also has the benefit that no locking is required anymore, so performance
should be even better than the original version that used prandom_u32().

[ Upstream commit de4eda9de2d957ef2d6a8365a01e26a435e958cb ]

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.

Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...

Rather than truncate a 32-bit value to a 16-bit value or an 8-bit value,
simply use the get_random_{u8,u16}() functions, which are faster than
wasting the additional bytes from a 32-bit value. This was done

the minimum required bytes from the RNG and avoids divisions. This was

<title>crypto: testmgr - don't generate WARN for missing modules</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a76bd86a85cac9feddc66d38019f943d054f0218</id>
<content type='text'>
This userspace command:
    modprobe tcrypt
or
    modprobe tcrypt mode=0

runs all the tcrypt test cases numbered &lt;200 (i.e., all the
test cases calling tcrypt_test() and returning return values).

Tests are sparsely numbered from 0 to 1000. For example:
    modprobe tcrypt mode=12
tests sha512, and
    modprobe tcrypt mode=152
tests rfc4543(gcm(aes))) - AES-GCM as GMAC

The test manager generates WARNING crashdumps every time it attempts
a test using an algorithm that is not available (not built-in to the
kernel or available as a module):

    alg: skcipher: failed to allocate transform for ecb(arc4): -2
    ------------[ cut here ]-----------
    alg: self-tests for ecb(arc4) (ecb(arc4)) failed (rc=-2)
    WARNING: CPU: 9 PID: 4618 at crypto/testmgr.c:5777
alg_test+0x30b/0x510
    [50 more lines....]

    ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

If the kernel is compiled with CRYPTO_USER_API_ENABLE_OBSOLETE
disabled (the default), then these algorithms are not compiled into
the kernel or made into modules and trigger WARNINGs:
    arc4 tea xtea khazad anubis xeta seed

Additionally, any other algorithms that are not enabled in .config
will generate WARNINGs. In RHEL 9.0, for example, the default
selection of algorithms leads to 16 WARNING dumps.

One attempt to fix this was by modifying tcrypt_test() to check
crypto_has_alg() and immediately return 0 if crypto_has_alg() fails,
rather than proceed and return a non-zero error value that causes
the caller (alg_test() in crypto/testmgr.c) to invoke WARN().
That knocks out too many algorithms, though; some combinations
like ctr(des3_ede) would work.

Instead, change the condition on the WARN to ignore a return
value is ENOENT, which is the value returned when the algorithm
or combination of algorithms doesn't exist. Add a pr_warn to
communicate that information in case the WARN is skipped.

This approach allows algorithm tests to work that are combinations,
not provided by one driver, like ctr(blowfish).

Result - no more WARNINGs:
modprobe tcrypt
[  115.541765] tcrypt: testing md5

<content type='text'>
BLAKE2s has no currently known use as an shash. Just remove all of this
unnecessary plumbing. Removing this shash was something we talked about
back when we were making BLAKE2s a built-in, but I simply never got
around to doing it. So this completes that project.

Importantly, this fixs a bug in which the lib code depends on
crypto_simd_disabled_for_test, causing linker errors.

Also add more alignment tests to the selftests and compare SIMD and
non-SIMD compression functions, to make up for what we lose from
testmgr.c.

Add support for HCTR2 as a template.  HCTR2 is a length-preserving
encryption mode that is efficient on processors with instructions to
accelerate AES and carryless multiplication, e.g. x86 processors with
AES-NI and CLMUL, and ARM processors with the ARMv8 Crypto Extensions.

As a length-preserving encryption mode, HCTR2 is suitable for
applications such as storage encryption where ciphertext expansion is
not possible, and thus authenticated encryption cannot be used.
Currently, such applications usually use XTS, or in some cases Adiantum.
XTS has the disadvantage that it is a narrow-block mode: a bitflip will
only change 16 bytes in the resulting ciphertext or plaintext.  This
reveals more information to an attacker than necessary.

HCTR2 is a wide-block mode, so it provides a stronger security property:
a bitflip will change the entire message.  HCTR2 is somewhat similar to
Adiantum, which is also a wide-block mode.  However, HCTR2 is designed
to take advantage of existing crypto instructions, while Adiantum
targets devices without such hardware support.  Adiantum is also
designed with longer messages in mind, while HCTR2 is designed to be
efficient even on short messages.

HCTR2 requires POLYVAL and XCTR as components.  More information on
HCTR2 can be found here: "Length-preserving encryption with HCTR2":
