ad2fdcdf75 crypto: authenc - don't leak pointers to authenc keys
In crypto_authenc_setkey we save pointers to the authenc keys in
a local variable of type struct crypto_authenc_keys and we don't
zeroize it after use. Fix this and don't leak pointers to the
authenc keys.

7217d49f16 crypto: authenc - Use skcipher
This patch converts authenc to use the new skcipher interface as
opposed to ablkcipher.

It also fixes a little bug where if a sync version of authenc
is requested we may still end up using an async ahash.  This should
have no effect as none of the authenc users can request for a
sync authenc.

927ef32dcc crypto: authenc - Consider ahash ASYNC bit
As it is, if you get an async ahash with a sync skcipher you'll
end up with a sync authenc, which is wrong.

This patch fixes it by considering the ASYNC bit from ahash as
well.

It also fixes a little bug where if a sync version of authenc
is requested we may still end up using an async ahash.

Neither of them should have any effect as none of the authenc
users can request for a sync authenc.

6bf37e5aa9 crypto: crypto_memneq - add equality testing of memory regions w/o timing leaks
When comparing MAC hashes, AEAD authentication tags, or other hash
values in the context of authentication or integrity checking, it
is important not to leak timing information to a potential attacker,
i.e. when communication happens over a network.

Bytewise memory comparisons (such as memcmp) are usually optimized so
that they return a nonzero value as soon as a mismatch is found. E.g,
on x86_64/i5 for 512 bytes this can be ~50 cyc for a full mismatch
and up to ~850 cyc for a full match (cold). This early-return behavior
can leak timing information as a side channel, allowing an attacker to
iteratively guess the correct result.

This patch adds a new method crypto_memneq ("memory not equal to each
other") to the crypto API that compares memory areas of the same length
in roughly "constant time" (cache misses could change the timing, but
since they don't reveal information about the content of the strings
being compared, they are effectively benign). Iow, best and worst case
behaviour take the same amount of time to complete (in contrast to
memcmp).

Note that crypto_memneq (unlike memcmp) can only be used to test for
equality or inequality, NOT for lexicographical order. This, however,
is not an issue for its use-cases within the crypto API.

We tried to locate all of the places in the crypto API where memcmp was
being used for authentication or integrity checking, and convert them
over to crypto_memneq.

crypto_memneq is declared noinline, placed in its own source file,
and compiled with optimizations that might increase code size disabled
("Os") because a smart compiler (or LTO) might notice that the return
value is always compared against zero/nonzero, and might then
reintroduce the same early-return optimization that we are trying to
avoid.

Using #pragma or __attribute__ optimization annotations of the code
for disabling optimization was avoided as it seems to be considered
broken or unmaintained for long time in GCC [1]. Therefore, we work
around that by specifying the compile flag for memneq.o directly in
the Makefile. We found that this seems to be most appropriate.

As we use ("Os"), this patch also provides a loop-free "fast-path" for
frequently used 16 byte digests. Similarly to kernel library string
functions, leave an option for future even further optimized architecture
specific assembler implementations.

This was a joint work of James Yonan and Daniel Borkmann. Also thanks
for feedback from Florian Weimer on this and earlier proposals [2].

9b2f4cb65f crypto: authenc - Fix crash with zero-length assoc data
The authenc code doesn't deal with zero-length associated data
correctly and ends up constructing a zero-length sg entry which
causes a crash when it's fed into the crypto system.

This patch fixes this by avoiding the code-path that triggers
the SG construction if we have no associated data.

This isn't the most optimal fix as it means that we'll end up
using the fallback code-path even when we could still execute
the digest function.  However, this isn't a big deal as nobody
but the test path would supply zero-length associated data.

180ce7e810 crypto: authenc - Add EINPROGRESS check
When Steffen originally wrote the authenc async hash patch, he
correctly had EINPROGRESS checks in place so that we did not invoke

Unfortuantely I told him to remove it before the patch was applied.

As only MAY_BACKLOG request completion handlers are required to
handle EINPROGRESS completions, those checks are really needed.

This patch restores them.

a697690bec crypto: authenc - Avoid using clobbered request pointer
Authenc works in two stages for encryption, it first encrypts and
then computes an ICV.  The context memory of the request is used
by both operations.  The problem is that when an asynchronous
encryption completes, we will compute the ICV and then reread the
context memory of the encryption to get the original request.

It just happens that we have a buffer of 16 bytes in front of the
request pointer, so ICVs of 16 bytes (such as SHA1) do not trigger
the bug.  However, any attempt to uses a larger ICV instantly kills
the machine when the first asynchronous encryption is completed.

This patch fixes this by saving the request pointer before we start
the ICV computation.

devices that implement ciphers with many key sizes since each one would

Since the authenc algorithm is mainly used for legacy purposes where its

embed this value into the key itself.

Since authsize is a property common to all AEAD algorithms, we can add

332f8840f7 [CRYPTO] ablkcipher: Add distinct ABLKCIPHER type
Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as
type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set.  This is suboptimal because
ablkcipher refers to two things.  On the one hand it refers to the
top-level ablkcipher interface with requests.  On the other hand it
refers to and algorithm type underneath.

As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm
with the ablkcipher interface on top.  This is a problem because
we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level
interface.

This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as
we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST.  The type it associated
with the algorithm implementation only.

Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is
then determined by the mask that's used.  If it's a specific mask
then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the
new ablkcipher interface.

f347c4facf [CRYPTO] authenc: Move initialisations up to shut up gcc
It seems that newer versions of gcc have regressed in their abilities to
analyse initialisations.  This patch moves the initialisations up to avoid
the warnings.

3c09f17c3d [CRYPTO] aead: Add authenc
This patch adds the authenc algorithm which constructs an AEAD algorithm
from an asynchronous block cipher and a hash.  The construction is done
by concatenating the encrypted result from the cipher with the output
from the hash, as is used by the IPsec ESP protocol.

The authenc algorithm exists as a template with four parameters:

	authenc(auth, authsize, enc, enckeylen).

The authentication algorithm, the authentication size (i.e., truncating
the output of the authentication algorithm), the encryption algorithm,
and the encryption key length.  Both the size field and the key length
field are in bytes.  For example, AES-128 with SHA1-HMAC would be
represented by

	authenc(hmac(sha1), 12, cbc(aes), 16)

The key for the authenc algorithm is the concatenation of the keys for
the authentication algorithm with the encryption algorithm.  For the
above example, if a key of length 36 bytes is given, then hmac(sha1)
would receive the first 20 bytes while the last 16 would be given to
cbc(aes).
