Eric BiggersandHerbert Xu 07fa25957a crypto: cryptd - Remove unused functions
Many functions in cryptd.c no longer have any caller.  Remove them.

Also remove several associated structs and includes.  Finally, inline
cryptd_shash_desc() into its only caller, allowing it to be removed too.

Marco CrivellariandHerbert Xu a5d71f011e crypto: cryptd - WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue users
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.

alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.

This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.

This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.

This patch adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request the use of
the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release cycle to allow
callers to transition their calls.

Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.

All existing users have been updated accordingly.

Sebastian Andrzej SiewiorandHerbert Xu 590f8a67ba crypto: cryptd - Use nested-BH locking for cryptd_cpu_queue
cryptd_queue::cryptd_cpu_queue is a per-CPU variable and relies on
disabled BH for its locking. Without per-CPU locking in
local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT this data structure requires explicit
locking.

Add a local_lock_t to the struct cryptd_cpu_queue and use
local_lock_nested_bh() for locking. This change adds only lockdep
coverage and does not alter the functional behaviour for !PREEMPT_RT.

Herbert Xu ef93f15628 Revert "crypto: run initcalls for generic implementations earlier"
This reverts commit c4741b2305.

Crypto API self-tests no longer run at registration time and now
occur either at late_initcall or upon the first use.

Therefore the premise of the above commit no longer exists.  Revert
it and subsequent additions of subsys_initcall and arch_initcall.

Note that lib/crypto calls will stay at subsys_initcall (or rather
downgraded from arch_initcall) because they may need to occur
before Crypto API registration.

Herbert Xu 3a58c23117 crypto: cryptd - Use request context instead of stack for sub-request
cryptd is buggy as it tries to use sync_skcipher without going
through the proper sync_skcipher interface.  In fact it doesn't
even need sync_skcipher since it's already a proper skcipher and
can easily access the request context instead of using something
off the stack.

Sebastian Andrzej SiewiorandHerbert Xu 91e8bcd7b4 crypto: cryptd - Protect per-CPU resource by disabling BH.
The access to cryptd_queue::cpu_queue is synchronized by disabling
preemption in cryptd_enqueue_request() and disabling BH in
cryptd_queue_worker(). This implies that access is allowed from BH.

If cryptd_enqueue_request() is invoked from preemptible context _and_
soft interrupt then this can lead to list corruption since
cryptd_enqueue_request() is not protected against access from
soft interrupt.

Replace get_cpu() in cryptd_enqueue_request() with local_bh_disable()
to ensure BH is always disabled.
Remove preempt_disable() from cryptd_queue_worker() since it is not
needed because local_bh_disable() ensures synchronisation.

Eric BiggersandHerbert Xu 7bcb2c99f8 crypto: algapi - use common mechanism for inheriting flags
The flag CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC is "inherited" in the sense that when a
template is instantiated, the template will have CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC set if
any of the algorithms it uses has CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC set.

We'd like to add a second flag (CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY) that gets
"inherited" in the same way.  This is difficult because the handling of
CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC is hardcoded everywhere.  Address this by:

  - Add CRYPTO_ALG_INHERITED_FLAGS, which contains the set of flags that
    have these inheritance semantics.

  - Add crypto_algt_inherited_mask(), for use by template ->create()
    methods.  It returns any of these flags that the user asked to be
    unset and thus must be passed in the 'mask' to crypto_grab_*().

  - Also modify crypto_check_attr_type() to handle computing the 'mask'
    so that most templates can just use this.

  - Make crypto_grab_*() propagate these flags to the template instance
    being created so that templates don't have to do this themselves.

Make crypto/simd.c propagate these flags too, since it "wraps" another
algorithm, similar to a template.

Convert the "cryptd" template to the new way of freeing instances, where
a ->free() method is installed to the instance struct itself.  This
replaces the weakly-typed method crypto_template::free().

This will allow removing support for the old way of freeing instances.

Note that the 'default' case in cryptd_free() was already unreachable.
So, we aren't missing anything by keeping only the ahash and aead parts.

Make the cryptd template (in the hash case) use the new function
crypto_grab_shash() to initialize its shash spawn.

This is needed to make all spawns be initialized in a consistent way.

This required making cryptd_create_hash() allocate the instance directly
rather than use cryptd_alloc_instance().

Also simplify the error handling by taking advantage of crypto_drop_*()
now accepting (as a no-op) spawns that haven't been initialized yet, and
by taking advantage of crypto_grab_*() now handling ERR_PTR() names.

Eric BiggersandHerbert Xu cd900f0cac crypto: aead - pass instance to crypto_grab_aead()
Initializing a crypto_aead_spawn currently requires:

1. Set spawn->base.inst to point to the instance.
2. Call crypto_grab_aead().

But there's no reason for these steps to be separate, and in fact this
unneeded complication has caused at least one bug, the one fixed by
commit 6db4341017 ("crypto: adiantum - initialize crypto_spawn::inst")

So just make crypto_grab_aead() take the instance as an argument.

To keep the function calls from getting too unwieldy due to this extra
argument, also introduce a 'mask' variable into the affected places
which weren't already using one.

Eric BiggersandHerbert Xu af5034e8e4 crypto: remove propagation of CRYPTO_TFM_RES_* flags
The CRYPTO_TFM_RES_* flags were apparently meant as a way to make the
->setkey() functions provide more information about errors.  But these
flags weren't actually being used or tested, and in many cases they
weren't being set correctly anyway.  So they've now been removed.

Also, if someone ever actually needs to start better distinguishing
->setkey() errors (which is somewhat unlikely, as this has been unneeded
for a long time), we'd be much better off just defining different return
values, like -EINVAL if the key is invalid for the algorithm vs.
-EKEYREJECTED if the key was rejected by a policy like "no weak keys".
That would be much simpler, less error-prone, and easier to test.

So just remove CRYPTO_TFM_RES_MASK and all the unneeded logic that
propagates these flags around.

Eric BiggersandHerbert Xu c65058b758 crypto: skcipher - remove the "blkcipher" algorithm type
Now that all "blkcipher" algorithms have been converted to "skcipher",
remove the blkcipher algorithm type.

The skcipher (symmetric key cipher) algorithm type was introduced a few
years ago to replace both blkcipher and ablkcipher (synchronous and
asynchronous block cipher).  The advantages of skcipher include:

  - A much less confusing name, since none of these algorithm types have
    ever actually been for raw block ciphers, but rather for all
    length-preserving encryption modes including block cipher modes of
    operation, stream ciphers, and other length-preserving modes.

  - It unified blkcipher and ablkcipher into a single algorithm type
    which supports both synchronous and asynchronous implementations.
    Note, blkcipher already operated only on scatterlists, so the fact
    that skcipher does too isn't a regression in functionality.

  - Better type safety by using struct skcipher_alg, struct
    crypto_skcipher, etc. instead of crypto_alg, crypto_tfm, etc.

  - It sometimes simplifies the implementations of algorithms.

Also, the blkcipher API was no longer being tested.
