856e3f4092 crypto: seqiv - Add support for new AEAD interface
This patch converts the seqiv IV generator to work with the new
AEAD interface where IV generators are just normal AEAD algorithms.

Full backwards compatibility is paramount at this point since
no users have yet switched over to the new interface.  Nor can
they switch to the new interface until IV generation is fully
supported by it.

So this means we are adding two versions of seqiv alongside the
existing one.  The first one is the one that will be used when
the underlying AEAD algorithm has switched over to the new AEAD
interface.  The second one handles the current case where the
underlying AEAD algorithm still uses the old interface.

Both versions export themselves through the new AEAD interface.

63293c6113 crypto: aead - Add support for new AEAD implementations
This patch adds the basic structure of the new AEAD type.  Unlike
the current version, there is no longer any concept of geniv.  IV
generation will still be carried out by wrappers but they will be
normal AEAD algorithms that simply take the IPsec sequence number
as the IV.

This patch converts the top-level aead interface to the new style.
All user-level AEAD interface code have been moved into crypto/aead.h.

The allocation/free functions have switched over to the new way of
allocating tfms.

This patch also removes the double indrection on setkey so the
indirection now exists only at the alg level.

Apart from these there are no user-visible changes.

1e65b81a90 crypto: sha-mb - multibuffer crypto infrastructure
This patch introduces the multi-buffer crypto daemon which is responsible
for submitting crypto jobs in a work queue to the responsible multi-buffer
crypto algorithm.  The idea of the multi-buffer algorihtm is to put
data streams from multiple jobs in a wide (AVX2) register and then
take advantage of SIMD instructions to do crypto computation on several
buffers simultaneously.

The multi-buffer crypto daemon is also responsbile for flushing the
remaining buffers to complete the computation if no new buffers arrive
for a while.

75ecb231ff crypto: hash - Add real ahash walk interface
Although the existing hash walk interface has already been used
by a number of ahash crypto drivers, it turns out that none of
them were really asynchronous.  They were all essentially polling
for completion.

That's why nobody has noticed until now that the walk interface
couldn't work with a real asynchronous driver since the memory
is mapped using kmap_atomic.

As we now have a use-case for a real ahash implementation on x86,
this patch creates a minimal ahash walk interface.  Basically it
just calls kmap instead of kmap_atomic and does away with the
crypto_yield call.  Real ahash crypto drivers don't need to yield
since by definition they won't be hogging the CPU.

We lookup algorithms with crypto_alg_mod_lookup() when instantiating via
crypto_add_alg(). However, algorithms that are wrapped by an IV genearator
(e.g. aead or genicv type algorithms) need special care. The userspace
process hangs until it gets a timeout when we use crypto_alg_mod_lookup()
to lookup these algorithms. So export the lookup functions for these
algorithms and use them in crypto_add_alg().

As struct skcipher_givcrypt_request includes struct crypto_request
at a non-zero offset, testing for NULL after converting the pointer
returned by crypto_dequeue_request does not work.  This can result

a1d2f09544 crypto: compress - Add pcomp interface
The current "comp" crypto interface supports one-shot (de)compression only,
i.e. the whole data buffer to be (de)compressed must be passed at once, and
the whole (de)compressed data buffer will be received at once.
In several use-cases (e.g. compressed file systems that store files in big
compressed blocks), this workflow is not suitable.
Furthermore, the "comp" type doesn't provide for the configuration of
(de)compression parameters, and always allocates workspace memory for both
compression and decompression, which may waste memory.

To solve this, add a "pcomp" partial (de)compression interface that provides
the following operations:
  - crypto_compress_{init,update,final}() for compression,
  - crypto_decompress_{init,update,final}() for decompression,
  - crypto_{,de}compress_setup(), to configure (de)compression parameters
    (incl. allocating workspace memory).

The (de)compression methods take a struct comp_request, which was mimicked
after the z_stream object in zlib, and contains buffer pointer and length
pairs for input and output.

The setup methods take an opaque parameter pointer and length pair. Parameters
are supposed to be encoded using netlink attributes, whose meanings depend on
the actual (name of the) (de)compression algorithm.

7b5a080b3c crypto: hash - Add shash interface
The shash interface replaces the current synchronous hash interface.
It improves over hash in two ways.  Firstly shash is reentrant,
meaning that the same tfm may be used by two threads simultaneously
as all hashing state is stored in a local descriptor.

The other enhancement is that shash no longer takes scatter list
entries.  This is because shash is specifically designed for
synchronous algorithms and as such scatter lists are unnecessary.

All existing hash users will be converted to shash once the
algorithms have been completely converted.

There is also a new finup function that combines update with final.
This will be extended to ahash once the algorithm conversion is
done.

This is also the first time that an algorithm type has their own
registration function.  Existing algorithm types will be converted
to this way in due course.

61da88e2b8 [CRYPTO] skcipher: Add givcrypt operations and givcipher type
Different block cipher modes have different requirements for intialisation
vectors.  For example, CBC can use a simple randomly generated IV while
modes such as CTR must use an IV generation mechanisms that give a stronger
guarantee on the lack of collisions.  Furthermore, disk encryption modes
have their own IV generation algorithms.

Up until now IV generation has been left to the users of the symmetric
key cipher API.  This is inconvenient as the number of block cipher modes
increase because the user needs to be aware of which mode is supposed to
be paired with which IV generation algorithm.

Therefore it makes sense to integrate the IV generation into the crypto
API.  This patch takes the first step in that direction by creating two
new ablkcipher operations, givencrypt and givdecrypt that generates an
IV before performing the actual encryption or decryption.

The operations are currently not exposed to the user.  That will be done
once the underlying functionality has actually been implemented.

It also creates the underlying givcipher type.  Algorithms that directly
generate IVs would use it instead of ablkcipher.  All other algorithms
(including all existing ones) would generate a givcipher algorithm upon
registration.  This givcipher algorithm will be constructed from the geniv
string that's stored in every algorithm.  That string will locate a template
which is instantiated by the blkcipher/ablkcipher algorithm in question to
give a givcipher algorithm.

378f4f51f9 [CRYPTO] skcipher: Add crypto_grab_skcipher interface
Note: From now on the collective of ablkcipher/blkcipher/givcipher will
be known as skcipher, i.e., symmetric key cipher.  The name blkcipher has
always been much of a misnomer since it supports stream ciphers too.

This patch adds the function crypto_grab_skcipher as a new way of getting
an ablkcipher spawn.  The problem is that previously we did this in two
steps, first getting the algorithm and then calling crypto_init_spawn.

This meant that each spawn user had to be aware of what type and mask to
use for these two steps.  This is difficult and also presents a problem
when the type/mask changes as they're about to be for IV generators.

The new interface does both steps together just like crypto_alloc_ablkcipher.

As a side-effect this also allows us to be stronger on type enforcement
for spawns.  For now this is only done for ablkcipher but it's trivial
to extend for other types.

This patch also moves the type/mask logic for skcipher into the helpers
crypto_skcipher_type and crypto_skcipher_mask.

Finally this patch introduces the function crypto_require_sync to determine
whether the user is specifically requesting a sync algorithm.
