f70ee5ec8f [CRYPTO] api: scatterwalk_copychunks() fails to advance through scatterlist
In the loop in scatterwalk_copychunks(), if walk->offset is zero,
then scatterwalk_pagedone rounds that up to the nearest page boundary:

		walk->offset += PAGE_SIZE - 1;
		walk->offset &= PAGE_MASK;

which is a no-op in this case, so we don't advance to the next element
of the scatterlist array:

		if (walk->offset >= walk->sg->offset + walk->sg->length)
			scatterwalk_start(walk, sg_next(walk->sg));

and we end up copying the same data twice.

It appears that other callers of scatterwalk_{page}done first advance
walk->offset, so I believe that's the correct thing to do here.

This caused a bug in NFS when run with krb5p security, which would
cause some writes to fail with permissions errors--for example, writes
of less than 8 bytes (the des blocksize) at the start of a file.

A git-bisect shows the bug was originally introduced by
5c64097aa0, first in 2.6.19-rc1.

Main module, this implements the Liskov Rivest Wagner block cipher mode
in the new blockcipher API. The implementation is based on ecb.c.

The LRW-32-AES specification I used can be found at:
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1619/email/pdf00017.pdf

It implements the optimization specified as optional in the
specification, and in addition it uses optimized multiplication
routines from gf128mul.c.

Since gf128mul.[ch] is not tested on bigendian, this cipher mode
may currently fail badly on bigendian machines.

c494e0705d [CRYPTO] lib: table driven multiplications in GF(2^128)
A lot of cypher modes need multiplications in GF(2^128). LRW, ABL, GCM...
I use functions from this library in my LRW implementation and I will
also use them in my ABL (Arbitrary Block Length, an unencumbered (correct
me if I am wrong, wide block cipher mode).

Elements of GF(2^128) must be presented as u128 *, it encourages automatic
and proper alignment.

The library contains support for two different representations of GF(2^128),
see the comment in gf128mul.h. There different levels of optimization
(memory/speed tradeoff).

The code is based on work by Dr Brian Gladman. Notable changes:
- deletion of two optimization modes
- change from u32 to u64 for faster handling on 64bit machines
- support for 'bbe' representation in addition to the, already implemented,
  'lle' representation.
- move 'inline void' functions from header to 'static void' in the
  source file
- update to use the linux coding style conventions

65f27f3844 WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.

For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.

To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.

Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).

However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().

In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

5cde0af2a9 [CRYPTO] cipher: Added block cipher type
This patch adds the new type of block ciphers.  Unlike current cipher
algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers
operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data.  As it is block-based,
it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.

The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing
block cipher implementation.  The sg walking is now performed by the
algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer.  This is needed for drivers
that directly support sg lists.  It also improves performance for all
algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.

In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have
a single-block interface.  This will be done after all existing users
have switched over to the new block cipher type.

5c64097aa0 [CRYPTO] scatterwalk: Prepare for block ciphers
This patch prepares the scatterwalk code for use by the new block cipher
type.

Firstly it halves the size of scatter_walk on 32-bit platforms.  This
is important as we allocate at least two of these objects on the stack
for each block cipher operation.

It also exports the symbols since the block cipher code can be built as
a module.

Finally there is a hack in scatterwalk_unmap that relies on progress
being made.  Unfortunately, for hardware crypto we can't guarantee
progress to be made since the hardware can fail.

So this also gets rid of the hack by not advancing the address returned
by scatterwalk_map.

This patch adds the crypto_type structure which will be used for all new

The primary purpose of this abstraction is to allow different crypto_type
objects for crypto algorithms of the same type, in particular, there will
be a different crypto_type objects for asynchronous algorithms.

6d7d684d63 [CRYPTO] api: Added crypto_alloc_base
Up until now all crypto transforms have been of the same type, struct
crypto_tfm, regardless of whether they are ciphers, digests, or other
types.  As a result of that, we check the types at run-time before
each crypto operation.

This is rather cumbersome.  We could instead use different C types for
each crypto type to ensure that the correct types are used at compile
time.  That is, we would have crypto_cipher/crypto_digest instead of
just crypto_tfm.  The appropriate type would then be required for the
actual operations such as crypto_digest_digest.

Now that we have the type/mask fields when looking up algorithms, it
is easy to request for an algorithm of the precise type that the user
wants.  However, crypto_alloc_tfm currently does not expose these new
attributes.

This patch introduces the function crypto_alloc_base which will carry
these new parameters.  It will be renamed to crypto_alloc_tfm once
all existing users have been converted.

natural alignment (__attribute__ ((__aligned__))) for them.  In particular,
this is needed on the Xscale which is a 32-bit architecture with a u64 type
that requires 64-bit alignment.  This problem was reported by Ronen Shitrit.

The crypto_tfm structure's size was 44 bytes on 32-bit architectures and
80 bytes on 64-bit architectures.  So adding this requirement only means
that we have to add an extra 4 bytes on 32-bit architectures.

On i386 the natural alignment is 16 bytes which also benefits the VIA

cfa8d17cc8 [CRYPTO] sha1: Avoid useless memcpy()
The current code unconditionally copy the first block for every call to
sha1_update().  This can be avoided if there is no pending partial block.
This is always the case on the first call to sha1_update() (if the length
is >= 64 of course.

Furthermore, temp does need to be called if sha_transform is never invoked.
Also consolidate the sha_transform calls into one to reduce code size.

c8a19c91b5 [CRYPTO] Allow AES C/ASM implementations to coexist
As the Crypto API now allows multiple implementations to be registered
for the same algorithm, we no longer have to play tricks with Kconfig
to select the right AES implementation.

This patch sets the driver name and priority for all the AES
implementations and removes the Kconfig conditions on the C implementation
for AES.

5cb1454b86 [CRYPTO] Allow multiple implementations of the same algorithm
This is the first step on the road towards asynchronous support in
the Crypto API.  It adds support for having multiple crypto_alg objects
for the same algorithm registered in the system.

For example, each device driver would register a crypto_alg object
for each algorithm that it supports.  While at the same time the
user may load software implementations of those same algorithms.

Users of the Crypto API may then select a specific implementation
by name, or choose any implementation for a given algorithm with
the highest priority.

The priority field is a 32-bit signed integer.  In future it will be
possible to modify it from user-space.

This also provides a solution to the problem of selecting amongst
various AES implementations, that is, aes vs. aes-i586 vs. aes-padlock.
