It is often useful to save the partial state of a hash function
so that it can be used as a base for two or more computations.
The most prominent example is HMAC where all hashes start from
a base determined by the key. Having an import/export interface
means that we only have to compute that base once rather than
for each message.

interface. This is required before we can convert digest algorithms
over to shash.
Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
The shash interface replaces the current synchronous hash interface.
It improves over hash in two ways. Firstly shash is reentrant,
meaning that the same tfm may be used by two threads simultaneously
as all hashing state is stored in a local descriptor.
The other enhancement is that shash no longer takes scatter list
entries. This is because shash is specifically designed for
synchronous algorithms and as such scatter lists are unnecessary.
All existing hash users will be converted to shash once the
algorithms have been completely converted.
There is also a new finup function that combines update with final.
This will be extended to ahash once the algorithm conversion is
done.
This is also the first time that an algorithm type has their own
registration function. Existing algorithm types will be converted
to this way in due course.

This patch reintroduces a completely revamped crypto_alloc_tfm.
The biggest change is that we now take two crypto_type objects
when allocating a tfm, a frontend and a backend. In fact this
simply formalises what we've been doing behind the API's back.
For example, as it stands crypto_alloc_ahash may use an
actual ahash algorithm or a crypto_hash algorithm. Putting
this in the API allows us to do this much more cleanly.
The existing types will be converted across gradually.

The type exit function needs to undo any allocations done by the type
init function. However, the type init function may differ depending
on the upper-level type of the transform (e.g., a crypto_blkcipher
instantiated as a crypto_ablkcipher).
So we need to move the exit function out of the lower-level
structure and into crypto_tfm itself.
As it stands this is a no-op since nobody uses exit functions at
all. However, all cases where a lower-level type is instantiated
as a different upper-level type (such as blkcipher as ablkcipher)
will be converted such that they allocate the underlying transform
and use that instead of casting (e.g., crypto_ablkcipher casted
into crypto_blkcipher). That will need to use a different exit
function depending on the upper-level type.
This patch also allows the type init/exit functions to call (or not)
cra_init/cra_exit instead of always calling them from the top level.

This patch adds the underlying givcrypt operations for aead and associated
support elements. The rationale is identical to that of the skcipher
givcrypt operations, i.e., sometimes only the algorithm knows how the
IV should be generated.
A new request type aead_givcrypt_request is added which contains an
embedded aead_request structure with two new elements to support this
operation. The new elements are seq and giv. The seq field should
contain a strictly increasing 64-bit integer which may be used by
certain IV generators as an input value. The giv field will be used
to store the generated IV. It does not need to obey the alignment
requirements of the algorithm because it's not used during the operation.
The existing iv field must still be available as it will be used to store
intermediate IVs and the output IV if chaining is desired.

Different block cipher modes have different requirements for intialisation
vectors. For example, CBC can use a simple randomly generated IV while
modes such as CTR must use an IV generation mechanisms that give a stronger
guarantee on the lack of collisions. Furthermore, disk encryption modes
have their own IV generation algorithms.
Up until now IV generation has been left to the users of the symmetric
key cipher API. This is inconvenient as the number of block cipher modes
increase because the user needs to be aware of which mode is supposed to
be paired with which IV generation algorithm.
Therefore it makes sense to integrate the IV generation into the crypto
API. This patch takes the first step in that direction by creating two
new ablkcipher operations, givencrypt and givdecrypt that generates an
IV before performing the actual encryption or decryption.
The operations are currently not exposed to the user. That will be done
once the underlying functionality has actually been implemented.
It also creates the underlying givcipher type. Algorithms that directly
generate IVs would use it instead of ablkcipher. All other algorithms
(including all existing ones) would generate a givcipher algorithm upon
registration. This givcipher algorithm will be constructed from the geniv
string that's stored in every algorithm. That string will locate a template
which is instantiated by the blkcipher/ablkcipher algorithm in question to
give a givcipher algorithm.

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.

As it is authsize is an algorithm paramter which cannot be changed at
run-time. This is inconvenient because hardware that implements such
algorithms would have to register each authsize that they support
separately.
Since authsize is a property common to all AEAD algorithms, we can add
a function setauthsize that sets it at run-time, just like setkey.
This patch does exactly that and also changes authenc so that authsize

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 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

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

Since tfm contexts can contain arbitrary types we should provide at least
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

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.

Users of the Crypto API may then select a specific implementation

the highest priority.
The priority field is a 32-bit signed integer. In future it will be
