2008-01-11[CRYPTO] blkcipher: Merge ablkcipher and blkcipher into one option/moduleHerbert Xu
With the impending addition of the givcipher type, both blkcipher and ablkcipher algorithms will use it to create givcipher objects. As such it no longer makes sense to split the system between ablkcipher and blkcipher. In particular, both ablkcipher.c and blkcipher.c would need to use the givcipher type which has to reside in ablkcipher.c since it shares much code with it. This patch merges the two Kconfig options as well as the modules into one. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2008-01-11[CRYPTO] ctr: Add CTR (Counter) block cipher modeJoy Latten
This patch implements CTR mode for IPsec. It is based off of RFC 3686. Please note: 1. CTR turns a block cipher into a stream cipher. Encryption is done in blocks, however the last block may be a partial block. A "counter block" is encrypted, creating a keystream that is xor'ed with the plaintext. The counter portion of the counter block is incremented after each block of plaintext is encrypted. Decryption is performed in same manner. 2. The CTR counterblock is composed of, nonce + IV + counter The size of the counterblock is equivalent to the blocksize of the cipher. sizeof(nonce) + sizeof(IV) + sizeof(counter) = blocksize The CTR template requires the name of the cipher algorithm, the sizeof the nonce, and the sizeof the iv. ctr(cipher,sizeof_nonce,sizeof_iv) So for example, ctr(aes,4,8) specifies the counterblock will be composed of 4 bytes from a nonce, 8 bytes from the iv, and 4 bytes for counter since aes has a blocksize of 16 bytes. 3. The counter portion of the counter block is stored in big endian for conformance to rfc 3686. Signed-off-by: Joy Latten <latten@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-10-10[CRYPTO] xts: XTS blockcipher mode implementation without partial blocksRik Snel
XTS currently considered to be the successor of the LRW mode by the IEEE1619 workgroup. LRW was discarded, because it was not secure if the encyption key itself is encrypted with LRW. XTS does not have this problem. The implementation is pretty straightforward, a new function was added to gf128mul to handle GF(128) elements in ble format. Four testvectors from the specification http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1619/email/pdf00086.pdf were added, and they verify on my system.

2007-10-10[CRYPTO] aead: Add authencHerbert Xu
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).

2007-10-10[CRYPTO] api: Add aead crypto typeHerbert Xu
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.

2007-07-13async_tx: add the async_tx apiDan Williams
The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional dependencies. It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over the details of different hardware offload engine implementations. Code that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources. I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the 'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to provide an api of the following general format: struct dma_async_tx_descriptor * async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx, dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param) { struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>); struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL; int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0; struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ? device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL; if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */ ... tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index); ... tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index); ... async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param); } else { /* run <operation> synchronously */ ... <operation> ... async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param); } return tx; } async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool. The channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers. The async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays. In the uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility evenly over channels of similar capabilities. For example if there are two copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will handle xor. In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1. When a dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the operation on the same channel. A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will transition between a copy and a xor resource. Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been converted to the async_tx api. A driver for the offload engines on the Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later commit. With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines. On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30% improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55% improvement). For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few percentage points. On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points of the original implementation. According to 'top' on iop342 CPU utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s. The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048 --block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5 * iop342 had 1GB of memory available Details: * if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL * when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a tasklet. if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live polling wait will be performed * the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available channels * In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch interrupts. The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel * Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software xor routine. To the software routine the destination address is an implied source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination. This patch modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address to mirror the hardware. Changelog: * fixed a leftover debug print * don't allow callbacks in async_interrupt_cond * fixed xor_block changes * fixed usage of ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DEST * drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech * printk warning fixups from Andrew Morton * don't use inline in C files, Adrian Bunk * select the API when MD is enabled * BUG_ON xor source counts <= 1 * implicitly handle hardware concerns like channel switching and interrupts, Neil Brown * remove the per operation type list, and distribute operation capabilities evenly amongst the available channels * simplify async_tx_find_channel to optimize the fast path * introduce the channel_table_initialized flag to prevent early calls to the api * reorganize the code to mimic crypto * include mm.h as not all archs include it in dma-mapping.h * make the Kconfig options non-user visible, Adrian Bunk * move async_tx under crypto since it is meant as 'core' functionality, and the two may share algorithms in the future * move large inline functions into c files * checkpatch.pl fixes * gpl v2 only correction Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-By: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

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.

2006-12-06[CRYPTO] lib: table driven multiplications in GF(2^128)Rik Snel
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 The original can be found at: http://fp.gladman.plus.com/AES/modes.vc8.19-06-06.zip The copyright (and GPL statement) of the original author is preserved.

2006-09-21[CRYPTO] cipher: Added block cipher typeHerbert Xu
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.

The patch passed the trycpt tests and automated filesystem tests. This rewrite resulted in some nice perfomance increase over my last patch. Short summary of the tcrypt benchmarks: Twofish Assembler vs. Twofish C (256bit 8kb block CBC) encrypt: -33% Cycles decrypt: -45% Cycles Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (128bit 8kb block CBC) encrypt: +3% Cycles decrypt: -22% Cycles Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (256bit 8kb block CBC) encrypt: -20% Cycles decrypt: -36% Cycles Full Output: http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~fritschi/twofish/tcrypt-speed-twofish-asm-i586.txt http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~fritschi/twofish/tcrypt-speed-twofish-c-i586.txt http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~fritschi/twofish/tcrypt-speed-aes-asm-i586.txt Here is another bonnie++ benchmark with encrypted filesystems. All runs with the twofish assembler modules max out the drivespeed.

2006-09-21[CRYPTO] twofish: Split out common c codeJoachim Fritschi
This patch splits up the twofish crypto routine into a common part ( key setup ) which will be uses by all twofish crypto modules ( generic-c , i586 assembler and x86_64 assembler ) and generic-c part. It also creates a new header file which will be used by all 3 modules. This eliminates all code duplication. Correctness was verified with the tcrypt module and automated test scripts.

2006-06-26[CRYPTO] tcrypt: Forbid tcrypt from being built-inHerbert Xu
It makes no sense to build tcrypt into the kernel. In fact, now that the driver init function's return status is being checked, it is in fact harmful to do so. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
