The patch moves the information provided in
Documentation/crypto/crypto-API-userspace.txt into a separate chapter in
the kernel crypto API DocBook. Some corrections are applied (such as
removing a reference to Netlink when the AF_ALG socket is referred to).
In addition, the AEAD and RNG interface description is now added.
Also, a brief description of the zero-copy interface with an example
code snippet is provided.

Change the RNGs to always return 0 in success case.
This patch ensures that seqiv.c works with RNGs other than krng. seqiv
expects that any return code other than 0 is an error. Without the
patch, rfc4106(gcm(aes)) will not work when using a DRBG or an ANSI
X9.31 RNG.

The DRBG code contains memset(0) calls to initialize a varaible
that are not necessary as the variable is always overwritten by
the processing.
This patch increases the CTR and Hash DRBGs by about 5%.

The CTR DRBG only encrypts one single block at a time. Thus, use the
single block crypto API to avoid additional overhead from the block
chaining modes.
With the patch, the speed of the DRBG increases between 30% and 40%.
The DRBG still passes the CTR DRBG CAVS test.

This is the assembler code for the MD5 implementation.
Handling of algorithm constants has been slightly
changed to reduce register usage and make better use
of cores with multiple ALUs. Thus they are stored as
delta values.

This patch adds the AEAD support for AF_ALG.
The implementation is based on algif_skcipher, but contains heavy
modifications to streamline the interface for AEAD uses.
To use AEAD, the user space consumer has to use the salg_type named
"aead".
The AEAD implementation includes some overhead to calculate the size of
the ciphertext, because the AEAD implementation of the kernel crypto API
makes implied assumption on the location of the authentication tag. When
performing an encryption, the tag will be added to the created
ciphertext (note, the tag is placed adjacent to the ciphertext). For
decryption, the caller must hand in the ciphertext with the tag appended
to the ciphertext. Therefore, the selection of the used memory
needs to add/subtract the tag size from the source/destination buffers
depending on the encryption type. The code is provided with comments
explaining when and how that operation is performed.
A fully working example using all aspects of AEAD is provided at
http://www.chronox.de/libkcapi.html

The kernel crypto API has many indirections which warrant a description
as otherwise one can get easily lost. The description explains the

and enable SPE instructions in the kernel prior to the
call. Avoid to disable preemption for too long.

This is the assembler code for SHA1 implementation with
the SIMD SPE instruction set. With the enhanced instruction
set we can operate on 2 32 bit words in parallel. That helps
reducing the time to calculate W16-W79. For increasing
performance even more the assembler function can compute
hashes for more than one 64 byte input block.
The state of the used SPE registers is preserved via the
stack so we can run from interrupt context. There might
be the case that we interrupt ourselves and push sensitive
data from another context onto our stack. Clear this area
in the stack afterwards to avoid information leakage.
The code is endian independant.
