2015-06-10crypto: drbg - reseed often if seedsource is degradedStephan Mueller1-0/+1
As required by SP800-90A, the DRBG implements are reseeding threshold. This threshold is at 2**48 (64 bit) and 2**32 bit (32 bit) as implemented in drbg_max_requests. With the recently introduced changes, the DRBG is now always used as a stdrng which is initialized very early in the boot cycle. To ensure that sufficient entropy is present, the Jitter RNG is added to even provide entropy at early boot time. However, the 2nd seed source, the nonblocking pool, is usually degraded at that time. Therefore, the DRBG is seeded with the Jitter RNG (which I believe contains good entropy, which however is questioned by others) and is seeded with a degradded nonblocking pool. This seed is now used for quasi the lifetime of the system (2**48 requests is a lot). The patch now changes the reseed threshold as follows: up until the time the DRBG obtains a seed from a fully iniitialized nonblocking pool, the reseeding threshold is lowered such that the DRBG is forced to reseed itself resonably often. Once it obtains the seed from a fully initialized nonblocking pool, the reseed threshold is set to the value required by SP800-90A.

2015-06-10crypto: drbg - Use callback API for random readinessStephan Mueller1-2/+1
The get_blocking_random_bytes API is broken because the wait can be arbitrarily long (potentially forever) so there is no safe way of calling it from within the kernel. This patch replaces it with the new callback API which does not have this problem. The patch also removes the entropy buffer registered with the DRBG handle in favor of stack variables to hold the seed data.

2015-06-10random: Add callback API for random pool readinessHerbert Xu1-0/+9
The get_blocking_random_bytes API is broken because the wait can be arbitrarily long (potentially forever) so there is no safe way of calling it from within the kernel. This patch replaces it with a callback API instead. The callback is invoked potentially from interrupt context so the user needs to schedule their own work thread if necessary. In addition to adding callbacks, they can also be removed as otherwise this opens up a way for user-space to allocate kernel memory with no bound (by opening algif_rng descriptors and then closing them).

2015-06-03scatterlist: introduce sg_nents_for_lenTom Lendacky1-0/+1
When performing a dma_map_sg() call, the number of sg entries to map is required. Using sg_nents to retrieve the number of sg entries will return the total number of entries in the sg list up to the entry marked as the end. If there happen to be unused entries in the list, these will still be counted. Some dma_map_sg() implementations will not handle the unused entries correctly (lib/swiotlb.c) and execute a BUG_ON. The sg_nents_for_len() function will traverse the sg list and return the number of entries required to satisfy the supplied length argument. This can then be supplied to the dma_map_sg() call to successfully map the sg. Signed-off-by: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

As it stands the only non-type safe functions left in the new AEAD interface are the cra_init/cra_exit functions. It means exposing the ugly __crypto_aead_cast to every AEAD implementor. This patch adds type-safe init/exit functions to AEAD. Existing algorithms are unaffected while new implementations can simply fill in these two instead of cra_init/cra_exit.

2015-05-28crypto: aead - Document behaviour of AD in destination bufferHerbert Xu1-4/+10
This patch defines the behaviour of AD in the new interface more clearly. In particular, it specifies that if the user must copy the AD to the destination manually when src != dst if they wish to guarantee that the destination buffer contains a copy of the AD. The reason for this is that otherwise every AEAD implementation would have to perform such a copy when src != dst. In reality most users do in-place processing where src == dst so this is not an issue. This patch also kills some remaining references to cryptoff.

2015-05-27crypto: drbg - use Jitter RNG to obtain seedStephan Mueller1-0/+1
During initialization, the DRBG now tries to allocate a handle of the Jitter RNG. If such a Jitter RNG is available during seeding, the DRBG pulls the required entropy/nonce string from get_random_bytes and concatenates it with a string of equal size from the Jitter RNG. That combined string is now the seed for the DRBG. Written differently, the initial seed of the DRBG is now: get_random_bytes(entropy/nonce) || jitterentropy (entropy/nonce) If the Jitter RNG is not available, the DRBG only seeds from get_random_bytes.

The async seeding operation is triggered during initalization right after the first non-blocking seeding is completed. As required by the asynchronous operation of random.c, a callback function is provided that is triggered by random.c once entropy is available. That callback function performs the actual seeding of the DRBG.

In order to prepare for the addition of the asynchronous seeding call, the invocation of seeding the DRBG is moved out into a helper function. In addition, a block of memory is allocated during initialization time that will be used as a scratchpad for obtaining entropy. That scratchpad is used for the initial seeding operation as well as by the asynchronous seeding call. The memory must be zeroized every time the DRBG seeding call succeeds to avoid entropy data lingering in memory.

2015-05-22crypto: seqiv - Add support for new AEAD interfaceHerbert Xu1-4/+3
This patch converts the seqiv IV generator to work with the new AEAD interface where IV generators are just normal AEAD algorithms. Full backwards compatibility is paramount at this point since no users have yet switched over to the new interface. Nor can they switch to the new interface until IV generation is fully supported by it. So this means we are adding two versions of seqiv alongside the existing one. The first one is the one that will be used when the underlying AEAD algorithm has switched over to the new AEAD interface. The second one handles the current case where the underlying AEAD algorithm still uses the old interface. Both versions export themselves through the new AEAD interface.

2015-05-22crypto: aead - Add new interface with single SG listHerbert Xu1-6/+29
The primary user of AEAD, IPsec includes the IV in the AD in most cases, except where it is implicitly authenticated by the underlying algorithm. The way it is currently implemented is a hack because we pass the data in piecemeal and the underlying algorithms try to stitch them back up into one piece. This is why this patch is adding a new interface that allows a single SG list to be passed in that contains everything so the algorithm implementors do not have to stitch. The new interface accepts a single source SG list and a single destination SG list. Both must be laid out as follows: AD, skipped data, plain/cipher text, ICV The ICV is not present from the source during encryption and from the destination during decryption. For the top-level IPsec AEAD algorithm the plain/cipher text will contain the generated (or received) IV. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

The 842 compression function can compress any input data into the 842 compression format. The 842 decompression function can decompress any standard-format 842 compressed data - specifically, either a compressed data buffer created by the 842 software compression function, or a compressed data buffer created by the 842 hardware compressor (located in PowerPC coprocessors).

2015-05-04lib: make memzero_explicit more robust against dead store eliminationDaniel Borkmann3-1/+22
In commit 0b053c951829 ("lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR"), we made memzero_explicit() more robust in case LTO would decide to inline memzero_explicit() and eventually find out it could be elimiated as dead store. While using barrier() works well for the case of gcc, recent efforts from LLVMLinux people suggest to use llvm as an alternative to gcc, and there, Stephan found in a simple stand-alone user space example that llvm could nevertheless optimize and thus elimitate the memset(). A similar issue has been observed in the referenced llvm bug report, which is regarded as not-a-bug. Based on some experiments, icc is a bit special on its own, while it doesn't seem to eliminate the memset(), it could do so with an own implementation, and then result in similar findings as with llvm. The fix in this patch now works for all three compilers (also tested with more aggressive optimization levels). Arguably, in the current kernel tree it's more of a theoretical issue, but imho, it's better to be pedantic about it. It's clearly visible with gcc/llvm though, with the below code: if we would have used barrier() only here, llvm would have omitted clearing, not so with barrier_data() variant: static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count) { memset(s, 0, count); barrier_data(s); } int main(void) { char buff[20]; memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff)); return 0; } $ gcc -O2 test.c $ gdb a.out (gdb) disassemble main Dump of assembler code for function main: 0x0000000000400400 <+0>: lea -0x28(%rsp),%rax 0x0000000000400405 <+5>: movq $0x0,-0x28(%rsp) 0x000000000040040e <+14>: movq $0x0,-0x20(%rsp) 0x0000000000400417 <+23>: movl $0x0,-0x18(%rsp) 0x000000000040041f <+31>: xor %eax,%eax 0x0000000000400421 <+33>: retq End of assembler dump. $ clang -O2 test.c $ gdb a.out (gdb) disassemble main Dump of assembler code for function main: 0x00000000004004f0 <+0>: xorps %xmm0,%xmm0 0x00000000004004f3 <+3>: movaps %xmm0,-0x18(%rsp) 0x00000000004004f8 <+8>: movl $0x0,-0x8(%rsp) 0x0000000000400500 <+16>: lea -0x18(%rsp),%rax 0x0000000000400505 <+21>: xor %eax,%eax 0x0000000000400507 <+23>: retq End of assembler dump. As gcc, clang, but also icc defines __GNUC__, it's sufficient to define this in compiler-gcc.h only to be picked up. For a fallback or otherwise unsupported compiler, we define it as a barrier.

2015-04-21crypto: drbg - replace spinlock with mutexStephan Mueller1-2/+2
The creation of a shadow copy is intended to only hold a short term lock. But the drawback is that parallel users have a very similar DRBG state which only differs by a high-resolution time stamp. The DRBG will now hold a long term lock. Therefore, the lock is changed to a mutex which implies that the DRBG can only be used in process context. The lock now guards the instantiation as well as the entire DRBG generation operation. Therefore, multiple callers are fully serialized when generating a random number. As the locking is changed to use a long-term lock to avoid such similar DRBG states, the entire creation and maintenance of a shadow copy can be removed.
