crypto: lib/sha1 - remove unnecessary includes of linux/cryptohash.h

2020-05-08T05:32:17+00:00

 sounds very generic and important, like it's the
header to include if you're doing cryptographic hashing in the kernel.
But actually it only includes the library implementation of the SHA-1
compression function (not even the full SHA-1).  This should basically
never be used anymore; SHA-1 is no longer considered secure, and there
are much better ways to do cryptographic hashing in the kernel.

Most files that include this header don't actually need it.  So in
preparation for removing it, remove all these unneeded includes of it.

treewide: Add SPDX license identifier for missed files

2019-05-21T08:50:45+00:00

Add SPDX license identifiers to all files which:

 - Have no license information of any form

 - Have EXPORT_.*_SYMBOL_GPL inside which was used in the
   initial scan/conversion to ignore the file

These files fall under the project license, GPL v2 only. The resulting SPDX
license identifier is:

  GPL-2.0-only

infiniband: i40iw, nes: don't use wall time for TCP sequence numbers

2018-07-11T18:10:19+00:00

The nes infiniband driver uses current_kernel_time() to get a nanosecond
granunarity timestamp to initialize its tcp sequence counters. This is
one of only a few remaining users of that deprecated function, so we
should try to get rid of it.

Aside from using a deprecated API, there are several problems I see here:

- Using a CLOCK_REALTIME based time source makes it predictable in
  case the time base is synchronized.
- Using a coarse timestamp means it only gets updated once per jiffie,
  making it even more predictable in order to avoid having to access
  the hardware clock source
- The upper 2 bits are always zero because the nanoseconds are at most
  999999999.

For the Linux TCP implementation, we use secure_tcp_seq(), which appears
to be appropriate here as well, and solves all the above problems.

i40iw uses a variant of the same code, so I do that same thing there
for ipv4. Unlike nes, i40e also supports ipv6, which needs to call
secure_tcpv6_seq instead.

tcp: randomize timestamps on syncookies

2017-05-05T16:00:11+00:00

Whole point of randomization was to hide server uptime, but an attacker
can simply start a syn flood and TCP generates 'old style' timestamps,
directly revealing server jiffies value.

Also, TSval sent by the server to a particular remote address vary
depending on syncookies being sent or not, potentially triggering PAWS
drops for innocent clients.

Lets implement proper randomization, including for SYNcookies.

Also we do not need to export sysctl_tcp_timestamps, since it is not
used from a module.

In v2, I added Florian feedback and contribution, adding tsoff to
tcp_get_cookie_sock().

v3 removed one unused variable in tcp_v4_connect() as Florian spotted.

secure_seq: downgrade to per-host timestamp offsets

2017-03-25T02:27:44+00:00

Unfortunately too many devices (not under our control) use tcp_tw_recycle=1,
which depends on timestamps being identical of the same saddr.

Although tcp_tw_recycle got removed in net-next we can't make
such end hosts disappear so downgrade to per-host timestamp offsets.

tcp: rename _sequence_number() to _seq_and_tsoff()

2017-03-10T02:25:34+00:00

The functions that are returning tcp sequence number also setup
TS offset value, so rename them to better describe their purpose.

No functional changes in this patch.

secure_seq: use SipHash in place of MD5

2017-01-09T18:58:57+00:00

This gives a clear speed and security improvement. Siphash is both
faster and is more solid crypto than the aging MD5.

Rather than manually filling MD5 buffers, for IPv6, we simply create
a layout by a simple anonymous struct, for which gcc generates
rather efficient code. For IPv4, we pass the values directly to the
short input convenience functions.
