[CRYPTO] api: Select cryptomgr where needed

2006-10-16T11:28:58+00:00

Since cryptomgr is the only way to construct algorithm instances
for now it makes sense to let the templates depend on it as
otherwise it may be left off inadvertently.

[CRYPTO] digest: Remove old HMAC implementation

2006-09-21T01:46:20+00:00

This patch removes the old HMAC implementation now that nobody uses it
anymore.

[CRYPTO] hmac: Add crypto template implementation

2006-09-21T01:46:17+00:00

This patch rewrites HMAC as a crypto template.  This means that HMAC is no
longer a hard-coded part of the API.  It's now a template that generates
standard digest algorithms like any other.

The old HMAC is preserved until all current users are converted.

The same structure can be used by other MACs such as AES-XCBC-MAC.

[CRYPTO] digest: Added user API for new hash type

2006-09-21T01:46:17+00:00

The existing digest user interface is inadequate for support asynchronous
operations.  For one it doesn't return a value to indicate success or
failure, nor does it take a per-operation descriptor which is essential
for the issuing of requests while other requests are still outstanding.

This patch is the first in a series of steps to remodel the interface
for asynchronous operations.

For the ease of transition the new interface will be known as "hash"
while the old one will remain as "digest".

This patch also changes sg_next to allow chaining.

[CRYPTO] s390: Added block cipher versions of CBC/ECB

2006-09-21T01:44:50+00:00

This patch adds block cipher algorithms for S390.  Once all users of the
old cipher type have been converted the existing CBC/ECB non-block cipher
operations will be removed.

[CRYPTO] cipher: Added block ciphers for CBC/ECB

2006-09-21T01:44:08+00:00

This patch adds two block cipher algorithms, CBC and ECB.  These
are implemented as templates on top of existing single-block cipher
algorithms.  They invoke the single-block cipher through the new
encrypt_one/decrypt_one interface.

This also optimises the in-place encryption and decryption to remove
the cost of an IV copy each round.

[CRYPTO] cipher: Added block cipher type

2006-09-21T01:41:52+00:00

This patch adds the new type of block ciphers.  Unlike current cipher
algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers
operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data.  As it is block-based,
it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.

The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing
block cipher implementation.  The sg walking is now performed by the
algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer.  This is needed for drivers
that directly support sg lists.  It also improves performance for all
algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.

In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have
a single-block interface.  This will be done after all existing users
have switched over to the new block cipher type.

[CRYPTO] api: Add cryptomgr

2006-09-21T01:31:44+00:00

The cryptomgr module is a simple manager of crypto algorithm instances.
It ensures that parameterised algorithms of the type tmpl(alg) (e.g.,
cbc(aes)) are always created.

This is meant to satisfy the needs for most users.  For more complex
cases such as deeper combinations or multiple parameters, a netlink
module will be created which allows arbitrary expressions to be parsed
in user-space.

[CRYPTO] api: Split out low-level API

2006-09-21T01:16:30+00:00

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.

[CRYPTO] twofish: x86-64 assembly version

2006-09-21T01:16:29+00:00

The patch passed the trycpt tests and automated filesystem tests.
This rewrite resulted in some nice perfomance increase over my last patch.

Short summary of the tcrypt benchmarks:

Twofish Assembler vs. Twofish C (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: -27% Cycles
decrypt: -23% Cycles

Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (128bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: +18%  Cycles
decrypt: +15% Cycles

Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: -9% Cycles
decrypt: -8% Cycles

Here is another bonnie++ benchmark with encrypted filesystems. Most runs maxed
out the hd. It should give some idea what the module can do for encrypted filesystem
performance even though you can't see the full numbers.
