The RNG may not be available during early boot, e.g., the relevant
modules may not be included in the initramfs. As the RNG Is only
needed for IPsec, we should not let this prevent use of ciphers
without IV generators, e.g., for disk encryption.
This patch postpones the RNG allocation to the init function so
that one failure during early boot does not make the RNG unavailable
for all subsequent users of the same cipher.
More importantly, it lets the cipher live even if RNG allocation
fails. Of course we no longer offer IV generation and which will
fail with an error if invoked. But all other cipher capabilities
will function as usual.

This patch adds a new crypto_user command that allows the admin to
delete the crypto system RNG. Note that this can only be done if
the RNG is currently not in use. The next time it is used a new
system RNG will be allocated.

Currently we free the default RNG when its use count hits zero.
This was OK when the IV generators would latch onto the RNG at
instance creation time and keep it until the instance is torn
down.
Now that IV generators only keep the RNG reference during init
time this scheme causes the default RNG to come and go at a high
frequencey. This is highly undesirable as we want to keep a single
RNG in use unless the admin wants it to be removed.
This patch changes the scheme so that the system RNG once allocated
is never removed unless a specifically requested.

Currently for skcipher IV generators they must provide givencrypt
as that is the whole point. We are currently replacing skcipher
IV generators with explicit IV generators. In order to maintain
backwards compatibility, we need to allow the IV generators to
still function as a normal skcipher when the RNG Is not present
(e.g., in the initramfs during boot). IOW everything but givencrypt
and givdecrypt will still work but those two will fail.
Therefore this patch assigns a default givencrypt that simply
returns an error should it be NULL.

The Poly1305 authenticator requires a unique key for each generated tag. This
implies that we can't set the key per tfm, as multiple users set individual
keys. Instead we pass a desc specific key as the first two blocks of the
message to authenticate in update().

This reverts commit 9b9f9296a7b73fbafe0a0a6f2494eaadd97f9f73 as
all in-kernel implementations of GCM have been converted to the
new AEAD interface, meaning that they should now pass the updated
rfc4543 test.

This patch updates the rfc4543 test vectors to the new format
where the IV is part of the AD. For now these vectors are still
unused. They will be reactivated once all rfc4543 implementations
have migrated.

This patch converts generic gcm and its associated transforms to
the new AEAD interface. The biggest reward is in code reduction
for rfc4543 where it used to do IV stitching which is no longer
needed as the IV is already part of the AD on input.
Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Because the old rfc4543 implementation always injected an IV into
the AD, while the new one does not, we have to disable the test
while it is converted over to the new AEAD interface.

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.

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.
