This patch adds a new primitive crypto_grab_spawn which is meant
to replace crypto_init_spawn and crypto_init_spawn2. Under the
new scheme the user no longer has to worry about reference counting
the alg object before it is subsumed by the spawn.
It is pretty much an exact copy of crypto_grab_aead.
Prior to calling this function spawn->frontend and spawn->inst
must have been set.

Commit 9c521a200b ("crypto: api - remove instance when test failed")
tried to grab a module reference count before the module was even set.
Worse, it then goes on to free the module reference count after it is
set so you quickly end up with a negative module reference count which
prevents people from using any instances belonging to that module.
This patch moves the module initialisation before the reference
count.

A cipher instance is added to the list of instances unconditionally
regardless of whether the associated test failed. However, a failed
test implies that during another lookup, the cipher instance will
be added to the list again as it will not be found by the lookup
code.
That means that the list can be filled up with instances whose tests
failed.
Note: tests only fail in reality in FIPS mode when a cipher is not
marked as fips_allowed=1. This can be seen with cmac(des3_ede) that does
not have a fips_allowed=1. When allocating the cipher, the allocation
fails with -ENOENT due to the missing fips_allowed=1 flag (which
causes the testmgr to return EINVAL). Yet, the instance of
cmac(des3_ede) is shown in /proc/crypto. Allocating the cipher again
fails again, but a 2nd instance is listed in /proc/crypto.
The patch simply de-registers the instance when the testing failed.

We currently initialise the crypto_alg ref count in the function
__crypto_register_alg. As one of the callers of that function
crypto_register_instance needs to obtain a ref count before it
calls __crypto_register_alg, we need to move the initialisation
out of there.
Since both callers of __crypto_register_alg call crypto_check_alg,
this is the logical place to perform the initialisation.

Per further discussion with NIST, the requirements for FIPS state that
we only need to panic the system on failed kernel module signature checks
for crypto subsystem modules. This moves the fips-mode-only module
signature check out of the generic module loading code, into the crypto
subsystem, at points where we can catch both algorithm module loads and
mode module loads. At the same time, make CONFIG_CRYPTO_FIPS dependent on
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG, as this is entirely necessary for FIPS mode.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

It has been observed that sometimes the crypto allocation code
will get stuck for 60 seconds or multiples thereof. This is
usually caused by an algorithm failing to pass the self-test.
If an algorithm fails to be constructed, we will immediately notify
all larval waiters. However, if it succeeds in construction, but
then fails the self-test, we won't notify anyone at all.
This patch fixes this by merging the notification in the case
where the algorithm fails to be constructed with that of the
the case where it pases the self-test. This way regardless of
what happens, we'll give the larval waiters an answer.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

We have a mechanism where newly registered algorithms of a higher
priority can displace existing instances that use a different
implementation of the same algorithm with a lower priority.
Unfortunately the same mechanism can cause a newly registered

of the same algorithm.
This patch fixes this by keeping all algorithms that the newly
reigstered algorithm depends on, thus protecting them from being

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.

we drop the mutex, and also ignoring all dead or dying algorithms

Previously we assumed for convenience that the block size is a multiple of

underlying implementation which will most likely be greater than 1.

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).

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

which can be used by simple one-argument templates like hmac to process
input parameters and allocate instances.

Spawns lock a specific crypto algorithm in place. They can then be used
with crypto_spawn_tfm to allocate a tfm for that algorithm. When the base
algorithm of a spawn is deregistered, all its spawns will be automatically
removed.

This patch also adds the infrastructure to pick an algorithm based on
their type. For example, this allows you to select the encryption
algorithm "aes", instead of any algorithm registered under the name
"aes". For now this is only accessible internally. Eventually it
will be made available through crypto_alloc_tfm.

This patch adds a notifier chain for algorithm/template registration events.
This will be used to register compound algorithms such as cbc(aes). In
future this will also be passed onto user-space through netlink.

A crypto_template generates a crypto_alg object when given a set of
parameters. this patch adds the basic data structure fo templates
and code to handle their registration/deregistration.

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.
