Eric Biggers a248447427 crypto: aes - Replace aes-generic with wrapper around lib
Now that the AES library's performance has been improved, replace
aes_generic.c with a new file aes.c which wraps the AES library.

In preparation for making the AES library actually utilize the kernel's
existing architecture-optimized AES code including AES instructions, set
the driver name to "aes-lib" instead of "aes-generic".  This mirrors
what's been done for the hash algorithms.  Update testmgr.c accordingly.

Since this removes the crypto_aes_set_key() helper function, add
temporary replacements for it to arch/arm/crypto/aes-cipher-glue.c and
arch/arm64/crypto/aes-cipher-glue.c.  This is temporary, as that code
will be migrated into lib/crypto/ in later commits.

Ard BiesheuvelandHerbert Xu fce8b8d598 crypto: remove obsolete 'comp' compression API
The 'comp' compression API has been superseded by the acomp API, which
is a bit more cumbersome to use, but ultimately more flexible when it
comes to hardware implementations.

Now that all the users and implementations have been removed, let's
remove the core plumbing of the 'comp' API as well.

Eric BiggersandHerbert Xu 29ce50e078 crypto: remove CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS
Remove support for the "Crypto usage statistics" feature
(CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS).  This feature does not appear to have ever been
used, and it is harmful because it significantly reduces performance and
is a large maintenance burden.

Covering each of these points in detail:

1. Feature is not being used

Since these generic crypto statistics are only readable using netlink,
it's fairly straightforward to look for programs that use them.  I'm
unable to find any evidence that any such programs exist.  For example,
Debian Code Search returns no hits except the kernel header and kernel
code itself and translations of the kernel header:
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=CRYPTOCFGA_STAT&literal=1&perpkg=1

The patch series that added this feature in 2018
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/1537351855-16618-1-git-send-email-clabbe@baylibre.com/)
said "The goal is to have an ifconfig for crypto device."  This doesn't
appear to have happened.

It's not clear that there is real demand for crypto statistics.  Just
because the kernel provides other types of statistics such as I/O and
networking statistics and some people find those useful does not mean
that crypto statistics are useful too.

Further evidence that programs are not using CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is that
it was able to be disabled in RHEL and Fedora as a bug fix
(https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-9/-/merge_requests/2947).

Even further evidence comes from the fact that there are and have been
bugs in how the stats work, but they were never reported.  For example,
before Linux v6.7 hash stats were double-counted in most cases.

There has also never been any documentation for this feature, so it
might be hard to use even if someone wanted to.

2. CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS significantly reduces performance

Enabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS significantly reduces the performance of
the crypto API, even if no program ever retrieves the statistics.  This
primarily affects systems with a large number of CPUs.  For example,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2039576 reported
that Lustre client encryption performance improved from 21.7GB/s to
48.2GB/s by disabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS.

It can be argued that this means that CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS should be
optimized with per-cpu counters similar to many of the networking
counters.  But no one has done this in 5+ years.  This is consistent
with the fact that the feature appears to be unused, so there seems to
be little interest in improving it as opposed to just disabling it.

It can be argued that because CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is off by default,
performance doesn't matter.  But Linux distros tend to error on the side
of enabling options.  The option is enabled in Ubuntu and Arch Linux,
and until recently was enabled in RHEL and Fedora (see above).  So, even
just having the option available is harmful to users.

3. CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is a large maintenance burden

There are over 1000 lines of code associated with CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS,
spread among 32 files.  It significantly complicates much of the
implementation of the crypto API.  After the initial submission, many
fixes and refactorings have consumed effort of multiple people to keep
this feature "working".  We should be spending this effort elsewhere.

Jia-Ju BaiandHerbert Xu 9a69b7ae79 crypto: user - Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in crypto_report
After checking all possible call chains to crypto_report here,
my tool finds that crypto_report is never called in atomic context.
And crypto_report calls crypto_alg_match which calls down_read,
thus it proves again that crypto_report can call functions which may sleep.
Thus GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary, and it can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.

Eric BiggersandHerbert Xu ce8614a312 crypto: algapi - convert cra_refcnt to refcount_t
Reference counters should use refcount_t rather than atomic_t, since the
refcount_t implementation can prevent overflows, reducing the
exploitability of reference leak bugs.  crypto_alg.cra_refcount is a
reference counter with the usual semantics, so switch it over to
refcount_t.

  10) Remove TCP timewait recycling, it never really could possibly work
      well in the real world and timestamp randomization really zaps any
      hint of usability this feature had (Soheil Hassas Yeganeh)

  11) Support level3 vs level4 ECMP route hashing in ipv4 (Nikolay
      Aleksandrov)

  12) Add socket busy poll support to epoll (Sridhar Samudrala)

Herbert Xu 4473710df1 crypto: user - Prepare for CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME expansion
This patch hard-codes CRYPTO_MAX_NAME in the user-space API to
64, which is the current value of CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME.  This patch
also replaces all remaining occurences of CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME
in the user-space API with CRYPTO_MAX_NAME.

This way the user-space API will not be modified when we raise
the value of CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME.

Furthermore, the code has been updated to handle names longer than
the user-space API.  They will be truncated.

Add key-agreement protocol primitives (kpp) API which allows to
implement primitives required by protocols such as DH and ECDH.
The API is composed mainly by the following functions
 * set_secret() - It allows the user to set his secret, also
   referred to as his private key, along with the parameters
   known to both parties involved in the key-agreement session.
 * generate_public_key() - It generates the public key to be sent to
   the other counterpart involved in the key-agreement session. The
   function has to be called after set_params() and set_secret()
 * generate_secret() - It generates the shared secret for the session

Other functions such as init() and exit() are provided for allowing
cryptographic hardware to be inizialized properly before use

The CRYPTO_MSG_GETALG netlink message type provides a buffer to the
kernel to retrieve information from the kernel. The data buffer will not
provide any input and will not be read. Hence the nlmsg_parse is not

This patch fixes the following kernel log message when using this
netlink interface:

To trigger the race run the following loops simultaneously for a while:
  $ while : ; do modprobe aesni-intel; rmmod aesni-intel; done
  $ while : ; do crconf show all > /dev/null; done

Fix the race by taking the crypto_alg_sem read lock, thereby preventing
crypto_unregister_alg() from modifying the algorithm list during the
dump.

This bug has been detected by the PaX memory sanitize feature.

Herbert Xu 3fc89adb9f crypto: api - Only abort operations on fatal signal
Currently a number of Crypto API operations may fail when a signal
occurs.  This causes nasty problems as the caller of those operations
are often not in a good position to restart the operation.

In fact there is currently no need for those operations to be
interrupted by user signals at all.  All we need is for them to
be killable.

This patch replaces the relevant calls of signal_pending with
fatal_signal_pending, and wait_for_completion_interruptible with
wait_for_completion_killable, respectively.

As IV generators are now standalone AEAD transforms, we no longer
need to use the crypto_lookup_aead call.

Herbert Xu 9aa867e465 crypto: user - Add CRYPTO_MSG_DELRNG
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.

Herbert Xu 016baaa118 crypto: user - Fix crypto_alg_match race
The function crypto_alg_match returns an algorithm without taking
any references on it.  This means that the algorithm can be freed
at any time, therefore all users of crypto_alg_match are buggy.

This patch fixes this by taking a reference count on the algorithm
to prevent such races.

Herbert Xu 87b1675634 crypto: api - Change crypto_unregister_instance argument type
This patch makes crypto_unregister_instance take a crypto_instance
instead of a crypto_alg.  This allows us to remove a duplicate
CRYPTO_ALG_INSTANCE check in crypto_unregister_instance.
