Note: From now on the collective of ablkcipher/blkcipher/givcipher will
be known as skcipher, i.e., symmetric key cipher. The name blkcipher has
always been much of a misnomer since it supports stream ciphers too.
This patch adds the function crypto_grab_skcipher as a new way of getting
an ablkcipher spawn. The problem is that previously we did this in two
steps, first getting the algorithm and then calling crypto_init_spawn.
This meant that each spawn user had to be aware of what type and mask to
use for these two steps. This is difficult and also presents a problem
when the type/mask changes as they're about to be for IV generators.
The new interface does both steps together just like crypto_alloc_ablkcipher.
As a side-effect this also allows us to be stronger on type enforcement
for spawns. For now this is only done for ablkcipher but it's trivial
to extend for other types.
This patch also moves the type/mask logic for skcipher into the helpers
crypto_skcipher_type and crypto_skcipher_mask.
Finally this patch introduces the function crypto_require_sync to determine
whether the user is specifically requesting a sync algorithm.

This patch adds a new helper crypto_attr_alg_name which is basically the
first half of crypto_attr_alg. That is, it returns an algorithm name
parameter as a string without looking it up. The caller can then look it
up immediately or defer it until later.

With the addition of more stream ciphers we need to curb the proliferation
of ad-hoc xor functions. This patch creates a generic pair of functions,
crypto_inc and crypto_xor which does big-endian increment and exclusive or,
respectively.
For optimum performance, they both use u32 operations so alignment must be
as that of u32 even though the arguments are of type u8 *.

Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as
type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set. This is suboptimal because
ablkcipher refers to two things. On the one hand it refers to the
top-level ablkcipher interface with requests. On the other hand it
refers to and algorithm type underneath.
As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm
with the ablkcipher interface on top. This is a problem because
we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level
interface.
This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as
we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST. The type it associated
with the algorithm implementation only.
Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is
then determined by the mask that's used. If it's a specific mask
then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the
new ablkcipher interface.

This patch adds the helper blkcipher_walk_virt_block which is similar to
blkcipher_walk_virt but uses a supplied block size instead of the block
size of the block cipher. This is useful for CTR where the block size is
1 but we still want to walk by the block size of the underlying cipher.

This patch adds the authenc algorithm which constructs an AEAD algorithm
from an asynchronous block cipher and a hash. The construction is done
by concatenating the encrypted result from the cipher with the output
from the hash, as is used by the IPsec ESP protocol.
The authenc algorithm exists as a template with four parameters:
authenc(auth, authsize, enc, enckeylen).
The authentication algorithm, the authentication size (i.e., truncating
the output of the authentication algorithm), the encryption algorithm,
and the encryption key length. Both the size field and the key length
field are in bytes. For example, AES-128 with SHA1-HMAC would be
represented by
authenc(hmac(sha1), 12, cbc(aes), 16)
The key for the authenc algorithm is the concatenation of the keys for
the authentication algorithm with the encryption algorithm. For the
above example, if a key of length 36 bytes is given, then hmac(sha1)
would receive the first 20 bytes while the last 16 would be given to
cbc(aes).

This patch adds crypto_aead which is the interface for AEAD
(Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) algorithms.
AEAD algorithms perform authentication and encryption in one
step. Traditionally users (such as IPsec) would use two
different crypto algorithms to perform these. With AEAD
this comes down to one algorithm and one operation.
Of course if traditional algorithms were used we'd still
be doing two operations underneath. However, real AEAD
algorithms may allow the underlying operations to be
optimised as well.

As it is whenever a new algorithm with the same name is registered
users of the old algorithm will be removed so that they can take
advantage of the new algorithm. This presents a problem when the
new algorithm is not equivalent to the old algorithm. In particular,
the new algorithm might only function on top of the existing one.
Hence we should not remove users unless they can make use of the
new algorithm.

This patch passes the type/mask along when constructing instances of
templates. This is in preparation for templates that may support
multiple types of instances depending on what is requested. For example,
the planned software async crypto driver will use this construct.
For the moment this allows us to check whether the instance constructed
is of the correct type and avoid returning success if the type does not
match.

The existing digest user interface is inadequate for support asynchronous
operations. For one it doesn't return a value to indicate success or
failure, nor does it take a per-operation descriptor which is essential
for the issuing of requests while other requests are still outstanding.
This patch is the first in a series of steps to remodel the interface
for asynchronous operations.
For the ease of transition the new interface will be known as "hash"
while the old one will remain as "digest".
This patch also changes sg_next to allow chaining.

This patch adds two block cipher algorithms, CBC and ECB. These
are implemented as templates on top of existing single-block cipher
algorithms. They invoke the single-block cipher through the new
encrypt_one/decrypt_one interface.
This also optimises the in-place encryption and decryption to remove
the cost of an IV copy each round.

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.

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 two new operations for the simple cipher that encrypts or
decrypts a single block at a time. This will be the main interface after
the existing block operations have moved over to the new block ciphers.
It also adds the crypto_cipher type which is currently only used on the
new operations but will be extended to setkey as well once existing users
have been converted to use block ciphers where applicable.

algorithms are built as modules.
