7ede5a5ba5 crypto: api - Fix crypto_drop_spawn crash on blank spawns
This patch allows crypto_drop_spawn to be called on spawns that
have not been initialised or have failed initialisation.  This
fixes potential crashes during initialisation without adding
special case code.

d06854f024 crypto: api - Add crypto_attr_alg2 helper
This patch adds the helper crypto_attr_alg2 which is similar to
crypto_attr_alg but takes an extra frontend argument.  This is
intended to be used by new style algorithm types such as shash.

97eedce1a6 crypto: api - Add new style spawn support
This patch modifies the spawn infrastructure to support new style
algorithms like shash.  In particular, this means storing the
frontend type in the spawn and using crypto_create_tfm to allocate
the tfm.

70ec7bb91a crypto: api - Add crypto_alloc_instance2
This patch adds a new argument to crypto_alloc_instance which
sets aside some space before the instance for use by algorithms
such as shash that place type-specific data before crypto_alg.

For compatibility the function has been renamed so that existing
users aren't affected.

b8e15992b4 crypto: api - Fix algorithm test race that broke aead initialisation
When we complete a test we'll notify everyone waiting on it, drop
the mutex, and then remove the test larval (after reacquiring the
mutex).  If one of the notified parties tries to register another
algorithm with the same driver name prior to the removal of the
test larval, they will fail with EEXIST as only one algorithm of
a given name can be tested at any time.

This broke the initialisation of aead and givcipher algorithms as
they will register two algorithms with the same driver name, in
sequence.

This patch fixes the problem by marking the larval as dead before
we drop the mutex, and also ignoring all dead or dying algorithms
on the registration path.

68b6c7d691 [CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_attr_alg_name
This patch adds a new helper crypto_attr_alg_name which is basically the
first half of crypto_attr_alg.  That is, it returns an algorithm name
parameter as a string without looking it up.  The caller can then look it
up immediately or defer it until later.

7613636def [CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_inc and crypto_xor
With the addition of more stream ciphers we need to curb the proliferation
of ad-hoc xor functions.  This patch creates a generic pair of functions,
crypto_inc and crypto_xor which does big-endian increment and exclusive or,
respectively.

For optimum performance, they both use u32 operations so alignment must be
as that of u32 even though the arguments are of type u8 *.

38cb2419f5 [CRYPTO] api: Fix potential race in crypto_remove_spawn
As it is crypto_remove_spawn may try to unregister an instance which is
yet to be registered.  This patch fixes this by checking whether the
instance has been registered before attempting to remove it.

It also removes a bogus cra_destroy check in crypto_register_instance as
1) it's outside the mutex;
2) we have a check in __crypto_register_alg already.

d8058480b3 [CRYPTO] api: Explain the comparison on larval cra_name
This patch adds a comment to explain why we compare the cra_driver_name of
the algorithm being registered against the cra_name of a larval as opposed
to the cra_driver_name of the larval.

In fact larvals have only one name, cra_name which is the name that was
requested by the user.  The test here is simply trying to find out whether
the algorithm being registered can or can not satisfy the larval.

70613783fc [CRYPTO] blkcipher: Remove alignment restriction on block size
Previously we assumed for convenience that the block size is a multiple of
the algorithm's required alignment.  With the pending addition of CTR this
will no longer be the case as the block size will be 1 due to it being a
stream cipher.  However, the alignment requirement will be that of the
underlying implementation which will most likely be greater than 1.

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).

39e1ee011f [CRYPTO] api: Add support for multiple template parameters
This patch adds support for having multiple parameters to
a template, separated by a comma.  It also adds support
for integer parameters in addition to the current algorithm
parameter type.

This will be used by the authenc template which will have
four parameters: the authentication algorithm, the encryption
algorithm, the authentication size and the encryption key
length.

fe3c5206ad [CRYPTO] api: Wake up all waiters when larval completes

only wake up one waiter.  This would cause other waiters to timeout
unnecessarily.  This patch changes it to use complete_all to wake
up all waiters.

a73e69965f [CRYPTO] api: Do not remove users unless new algorithm matches
As it is whenever a new algorithm with the same name is registered
users of the old algorithm will be removed so that they can take
advantage of the new algorithm.  This presents a problem when the
new algorithm is not equivalent to the old algorithm.  In particular,
the new algorithm might only function on top of the existing one.

Hence we should not remove users unless they can make use of the
new algorithm.

ebc610e5bc [CRYPTO] templates: Pass type/mask when creating instances
This patch passes the type/mask along when constructing instances of
templates.  This is in preparation for templates that may support
multiple types of instances depending on what is requested.  For example,
the planned software async crypto driver will use this construct.

For the moment this allows us to check whether the instance constructed
is of the correct type and avoid returning success if the type does not
match.

cce9e06d10 [CRYPTO] api: Split out low-level API
The crypto API is made up of the part facing users such as IPsec and the
low-level part which is used by cryptographic entities such as algorithms.
This patch splits out the latter so that the two APIs are more clearly
delineated.  As a bonus the low-level API can now be modularised if all
algorithms are built as modules.
