Herbert Xu ff753308d2 crypto: api - crypto_alg_mod_lookup either tested or untested
As it stands crypto_alg_mod_lookup will search either tested or
untested algorithms, but never both at the same time.  However,
we need exactly that when constructing givcipher and aead so
this patch adds support for that by setting the tested bit in
type but clearing it in mask.  This combination is currently
unused.

Neil Horman c5b1e545a5 crypto: ansi_cprng - Panic on CPRNG test failure when in FIPS mode
FIPS 140-2 specifies that all access to various cryptographic modules be
prevented in the event that any of the provided self tests fail on the various
implemented algorithms.  We already panic when any of the test in testmgr.c
fail when we are operating in fips mode.  The continuous test in the cprng here
was missed when that was implmented.  This code simply checks for the
fips_enabled flag if the test fails, and warns us via syslog or panics the box
accordingly.

Neil Horman d7992f42c6 crypto: ansi_cprng - Force reset on allocation
Pseudo RNGs provide predictable outputs based on input parateters {key, V, DT},
the idea behind them is that only the user should know what the inputs are.
While its nice to have default known values for testing purposes, it seems
dangerous to allow the use of those default values without some sort of safety
measure in place, lest an attacker easily guess the output of the cprng.  This
patch forces the NEED_RESET flag on when allocating a cprng context, so that any
user is forced to reseed it before use.  The defaults can still be used for
testing, but this will prevent their inadvertent use, and be more secure.

Huang Ying 54b6a1bd53 crypto: aes-ni - Add support to Intel AES-NI instructions for x86_64 platform
Intel AES-NI is a new set of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD)
instructions that are going to be introduced in the next generation of
Intel processor, as of 2009. These instructions enable fast and secure
data encryption and decryption, using the Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES), defined by FIPS Publication number 197.  The architecture
introduces six instructions that offer full hardware support for
AES. Four of them support high performance data encryption and
decryption, and the other two instructions support the AES key
expansion procedure.

The white paper can be downloaded from:

http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/isn/downloads/intelavx/AES-Instructions-Set_WP.pdf

AES may be used in soft_irq context, but MMX/SSE context can not be
touched safely in soft_irq context. So in_interrupt() is checked, if
in IRQ or soft_irq context, the general x86_64 implementation are used
instead.

Herbert Xu 8eb2dfac41 crypto: lrw - Fix big endian support
It turns out that LRW has never worked properly on big endian.
This was never discussed because nobody actually used it that
way.  In fact, it was only discovered when Geert Uytterhoeven
loaded it through tcrypt which failed the test on it.

The fix is straightforward, on big endian the to find the nth
bit we should be grouping them by words instead of bytes.  So
setbit128_bbe should xor with 128 - BITS_PER_LONG instead of
128 - BITS_PER_BYTE == 0x78.

When used with the generic AC97 codec support that will provide the

core shouldn't do so.

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 1d7b33f77b wimax: fix oops in wimax_dev_get_by_genl_info() when looking up non-wimax iface
When a non-wimax interface is looked up by the stack, a bad pointer is
returned when the looked-up interface is not found in the list (of

In function sock_getsockopt() located in net/core/sock.c, optval v.val

This dummy code should trigger the bug:

int main(void)

	int len;
	int sock;
	sock = socket(33, 2, 2);

	printf("%x%x%x%x\n", buf[0], buf[1], buf[2], buf[3]);

declaration.

Andrew Morton 9970937273 net: don't use in_atomic() in gfp_any()
The problem is that in_atomic() will return false inside spinlocks if
CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.  This will lead to deadlockable GFP_KERNEL allocations
from spinlocked regions.

Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking
will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite.  Hence we won't get the
might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy
callsites.

Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt().  Now, if someone
runs a gfp_any() allocation from inside spinlock we will get the warning
if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

I reviewed all callsites and most of them were too complex for my little
brain and none of them documented their interface requirements.  I have no
idea what this patch will do.

Nick Piggin 3a4c6800f3 Fix page writeback thinko, causing Berkeley DB slowdown
A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit
31a12666d8 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic
fix").  The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and
look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no
more work to be done.

But the !done condition was dropped from the test.  This means that any
time the page writeout loop breaks (eg.  due to nr_to_write == 0), we
will set index to 0, then goto again.  This will set done_index to
index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the
function.  When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout,
we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0.

This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to
start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and
caused bugzilla entry

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604

about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically.

With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly
5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).
