crypto: crypto4xx - Remove insecure and unused rng_alg

2026-07-24T13:54:31+00:00

commit 7811ec9e973d2c9e465083699f0c8240b98cb8c4 upstream. Remove crypto4xx_rng, as it is insecure and unused: - It has only a 64-bit security strength, which is highly inadequate. This can be seen by the fact that crypto4xx_hw_init() seeds it with only 64 bits of entropy, and the fact that the original commit mentions that it implements ANSI X9.17 Annex C. Another issue was that this driver didn't implement the crypto_rng API correctly, as crypto4xx_prng_generate() didn't return 0 on success. - No user of this code is known. It's usable only theoretically via the "rng" algorithm type of AF_ALG. But userspace actually just uses the actual Linux RNG (/dev/random etc) instead. And rng_algs don't contribute entropy to the actual Linux RNG either. (This may have been confused with hwrng, which does contribute entropy.)

crypto: crypto4xx - Remove ahash-related code

2026-07-24T13:54:31+00:00

commit 97855e7f1ccf4917f305baab199edb9f2595ff5b upstream. The hash implementation in crypto4xx has been disabled since 2009. As nobody has tried to fix this remove all the dead code. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

crypto: crypto4xx - Call dma_unmap_page when done

2023-03-10T08:33:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit bcdda4301bdc4955d45f7e1ffefb6207967b067e ] In crypto4xx_cipher_done, we should be unmapping the dst page, not mapping it. This was flagged by a sparse warning about the unused addr variable. While we're at it, also fix a sparse warning regarding the unused ctx variable in crypto4xx_ahash_done (by actually using it).

crypto: amcc - Hold the reference returned by of_find_compatible_node

2022-07-08T07:21:16+00:00

In crypto4xx_probe(), we should hold the reference returned by of_find_compatible_node() and use it to call of_node_put to keep refcount balance. Signed-off-by: Liang He Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: amcc - fix incorrect kernel-doc comment syntax in files

2021-03-26T09:15:58+00:00

The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of kernel-doc comments. There are certain files in drivers/crypto/amcc, which follow this syntax, but the content inside does not comply with kernel-doc. Such lines were probably not meant for kernel-doc parsing, but are parsed due to the presence of kernel-doc like comment syntax(i.e, '/**'), which causes unexpected warnings from kernel-doc. E.g., presence of kernel-doc like comment in drivers/crypto/amcc/crypto4xx_alg.c at header, and some other lines, causes these warnings by kernel-doc: "warning: expecting prototype for AMCC SoC PPC4xx Crypto Driver(). Prototype was for set_dynamic_sa_command_0() instead" "warning: Function parameter or member 'dir' not described in 'set_dynamic_sa_command_0'" etc.. Provide a simple fix by replacing such occurrences with general comment format, i.e. '/*', to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it.

crypto: sha - split sha.h into sha1.h and sha2.h

2020-11-20T03:45:33+00:00

Currently contains declarations for both SHA-1 and SHA-2, and contains declarations for SHA-3. This organization is inconsistent, but more importantly SHA-1 is no longer considered to be cryptographically secure. So to the extent possible, SHA-1 shouldn't be grouped together with any of the other SHA versions, and usage of it should be phased out. Therefore, split into two headers and , and make everyone explicitly specify whether they want the declarations for SHA-1, SHA-2, or both. This avoids making the SHA-1 declarations visible to files that don't want anything to do with SHA-1. It also prepares for potentially moving sha1.h into a new insecure/ or dangerous/ directory.

crypto: crypto4xx - Replace bitwise OR with logical OR in crypto4xx_build_pd

Clang warns: drivers/crypto/amcc/crypto4xx_core.c:921:60: warning: operator '?:' has lower precedence than '|'; '|' will be evaluated first [-Wbitwise-conditional-parentheses] (crypto_tfm_alg_type(req->tfm) == CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AEAD) ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ drivers/crypto/amcc/crypto4xx_core.c:921:60: note: place parentheses around the '|' expression to silence this warning (crypto_tfm_alg_type(req->tfm) == CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AEAD) ? ^ ) drivers/crypto/amcc/crypto4xx_core.c:921:60: note: place parentheses around the '?:' expression to evaluate it first (crypto_tfm_alg_type(req->tfm) == CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AEAD) ? ^ ( 1 warning generated. It looks like this should have been a logical OR so that PD_CTL_HASH_FINAL gets added to the w bitmask if crypto_tfm_alg_type is either CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AHASH or CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AEAD. Change the operator so that everything works properly.

crypto: algapi - Remove skbuff.h inclusion

2020-08-20T04:04:28+00:00

The header file algapi.h includes skbuff.h unnecessarily since all we need is a forward declaration for struct sk_buff. This patch removes that inclusion. Unfortunately skbuff.h pulls in a lot of things and drivers over the years have come to rely on it so this patch adds a lot of missing inclusions that result from this. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: crypto4xx - use GFP_KERNEL for big allocations

2020-01-09T03:30:53+00:00

The driver should use GFP_KERNEL for the bigger allocation during the driver's crypto4xx_probe() and not GFP_ATOMIC in my opinion. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
