Stephan Mueller 31c06b946c crypto: aesni - fix memory usage in GCM decryption
commit ccfe8c3f7e52ae83155cb038753f4c75b774ca8a upstream.

The kernel crypto API logic requires the caller to provide the
length of (ciphertext || authentication tag) as cryptlen for the
AEAD decryption operation. Thus, the cipher implementation must
calculate the size of the plaintext output itself and cannot simply use
cryptlen.

The RFC4106 GCM decryption operation tries to overwrite cryptlen memory
in req->dst. As the destination buffer for decryption only needs to hold
the plaintext memory but cryptlen references the input buffer holding
(ciphertext || authentication tag), the assumption of the destination
buffer length in RFC4106 GCM operation leads to a too large size. This
patch simply uses the already calculated plaintext size.

In addition, this patch fixes the offset calculation of the AAD buffer
pointer: as mentioned before, cryptlen already includes the size of the
tag. Thus, the tag does not need to be added. With the addition, the AAD
will be written beyond the already allocated buffer.

Note, this fixes a kernel crash that can be triggered from user space
via AF_ALG(aead) -- simply use the libkcapi test application
from [1] and update it to use rfc4106-gcm-aes.

Using [1], the changes were tested using CAVS vectors to demonstrate
that the crypto operation still delivers the right results.

Kees Cook e635e0d5b0 crypto: prefix module autoloading with "crypto-"
commit 5d26a105b5a73e5635eae0629b42fa0a90e07b7b upstream.

This prefixes all crypto module loading with "crypto-" so we never run
the risk of exposing module auto-loading to userspace via a crypto API,
as demonstrated by Mathias Krause:

Jussi Kivilinna c456a9cd1a crypto: aesni_intel - add more optimized XTS mode for x86-64
Add more optimized XTS code for aesni_intel in 64-bit mode, for smaller stack
usage and boost for speed.

tcrypt results, with Intel i5-2450M:
256-bit key
        enc     dec
16B     0.98x   0.99x
64B     0.64x   0.63x
256B    1.29x   1.32x
1024B   1.54x   1.58x
8192B   1.57x   1.60x

512-bit key
        enc     dec
16B     0.98x   0.99x
64B     0.60x   0.59x
256B    1.24x   1.25x
1024B   1.39x   1.42x
8192B   1.38x   1.42x

I chose not to optimize smaller than block size of 256 bytes, since XTS is
practically always used with data blocks of size 512 bytes. This is why
performance is reduced in tcrypt for 64 byte long blocks.

Andi Kleen 3bd391f056 crypto: Add support for x86 cpuid auto loading for x86 crypto drivers
Add support for auto-loading of crypto drivers based on cpuid features.
This enables auto-loading of the VIA and Intel specific drivers
for AES, hashing and CRCs.

Requires the earlier infrastructure patch to add x86 modinfo.
I kept it all in a single patch for now.

I dropped the printks when the driver cpuid doesn't match (imho
drivers never should print anything in such a case)

One drawback is that udev doesn't know if the drivers are used or not,
so they will be unconditionally loaded at boot up. That's better
than not loading them at all, like it often happens.

seems cleaner to just combine the modules.

There's a small memory leak in

I could have just added a call to ablkcipher_request_free() before we 
return -ENOMEM, but that started to look too much like the code we 
already had at the end of the function, so I chose instead to rework the 
code a bit so that there are now a few labels at the end that we goto when 
various allocations fail, so we don't have to repeat the same blocks of 
code (this also reduces the object code size slightly).

To illustrate the performance gain here's a short summary of a dm-crypt

implementations:

x86:                   i568       aes-ni    delta
ECB, 256 bit:     93.8 MB/s   123.3 MB/s   +31.4%

XTS, 256 bit:    105.0 MB/s   205.5 MB/s   +95.7%

Additionally, due to some minor optimizations, the 64-bit version also
got a minor performance gain as seen below:

x86-64:           old impl.    new impl.    delta
ECB, 256 bit:    121.1 MB/s   123.0 MB/s    +1.5%

Huang Ying ae4b688db2 x86: Move kernel_fpu_using to irq_fpu_usable in asm/i387.h
This function measures whether the FPU/SSE state can be touched in
interrupt context. If the interrupted code is in user space or has no
valid FPU/SSE context (CR0.TS == 1), FPU/SSE state can be used in IRQ
or soft_irq context too.

This is used by AES-NI accelerated AES implementation and PCLMULQDQ
accelerated GHASH implementation.

v3:
 - Renamed to irq_fpu_usable to reflect the purpose of the function.

v2:
 - Renamed to irq_is_fpu_using to reflect the real situation.

Roland Dreier c9944881ac crypto: aes-ni - Don't print message with KERN_ERR on old system
When the aes-intel module is loaded on a system that does not have the
AES instructions, it prints

    Intel AES-NI instructions are not detected.

at level KERN_ERR.  Since aes-intel is aliased to "aes" it will be tried
whenever anything uses AES and spam the console.  This doesn't match
existing practice for how to handle "no hardware" when initializing a
module, so downgrade the message to KERN_INFO.

Huang Ying 9251b64fb2 crypto: aes-ni - Do not sleep when using the FPU
Because AES-NI instructions will touch XMM state, corresponding code
must be enclosed within kernel_fpu_begin/end, which used
preempt_disable/enable. So sleep should be prevented between
kernel_fpu_begin/end.

Huang Ying 2cf4ac8beb crypto: aes-ni - Add support for more modes
Because kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() operations are too
slow, the performance gain of general mode implementation + aes-aesni
is almost all compensated.

The AES-NI support for more modes are implemented as follow:

- Add a new AES algorithm implementation named __aes-aesni without
  kernel_fpu_begin/end()

- Use fpu(<mode>(AES)) to provide kenrel_fpu_begin/end() invoking

- Add <mode>(AES) ablkcipher, which uses cryptd(fpu(<mode>(AES))) to
  defer cryption to cryptd context in soft_irq context.

Now the ctr, lrw, pcbc and xts support are added.

Performance testing based on dm-crypt shows that cryption time can be
reduced to 50% of general mode implementation + aes-aesni implementation.

Huang Ying 54b6a1bd53 crypto: aes-ni - Add support to Intel AES-NI instructions for x86_64 platform
Intel AES-NI is a new set of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD)
instructions that are going to be introduced in the next generation of
Intel processor, as of 2009. These instructions enable fast and secure
data encryption and decryption, using the Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES), defined by FIPS Publication number 197.  The architecture
introduces six instructions that offer full hardware support for
AES. Four of them support high performance data encryption and
decryption, and the other two instructions support the AES key
expansion procedure.

The white paper can be downloaded from:

http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/isn/downloads/intelavx/AES-Instructions-Set_WP.pdf

AES may be used in soft_irq context, but MMX/SSE context can not be
touched safely in soft_irq context. So in_interrupt() is checked, if
in IRQ or soft_irq context, the general x86_64 implementation are used
instead.
