| * | crypto: Replaced gcc specific attributes with macros from compiler.h | Gideon Israel Dsouza | 2017-01-13 | 1 | -1/+2 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Continuing from this commit: 52f5684c8e1e ("kernel: use macros from compiler.h instead of __attribute__((...))") I submitted 4 total patches. They are part of task I've taken up to increase compiler portability in the kernel. I've cleaned up the subsystems under /kernel /mm /block and /security, this patch targets /crypto. There is <linux/compiler.h> which provides macros for various gcc specific constructs. Eg: __weak for __attribute__((weak)). I've cleaned all instances of gcc specific attributes with the right macros for the crypto subsystem. I had to make one additional change into compiler-gcc.h for the case when one wants to use this: __attribute__((aligned) and not specify an alignment factor. From the gcc docs, this will result in the largest alignment for that data type on the target machine so I've named the macro __aligned_largest. Please advise if another name is more appropriate.

| * | crypto: kpp - Key-agreement Protocol Primitives API (KPP) | Salvatore Benedetto | 2016-06-23 | 1 | -0/+123 |
| Add key-agreement protocol primitives (kpp) API which allows to implement primitives required by protocols such as DH and ECDH. The API is composed mainly by the following functions * set_secret() - It allows the user to set his secret, also referred to as his private key, along with the parameters known to both parties involved in the key-agreement session. * generate_public_key() - It generates the public key to be sent to the other counterpart involved in the key-agreement session. The function has to be called after set_params() and set_secret() * generate_secret() - It generates the shared secret for the session Other functions such as init() and exit() are provided for allowing cryptographic hardware to be inizialized properly before use Signed-off-by: Salvatore Benedetto <salvatore.benedetto@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> | |||||
