* crypto: af_alg - Support symmetric encryption via keyring keysFrederick Lawler2022-10-281-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We want to leverage keyring to store sensitive keys, and then use those keys for symmetric encryption via the crypto API. Among the key types we wish to support are: user, logon, encrypted, and trusted. User key types are already able to have their data copied to user space, but logon does not support this. Further, trusted and encrypted keys will return their encrypted data back to user space on read, which does not make them ideal for symmetric encryption. To support symmetric encryption for these key types, add a new ALG_SET_KEY_BY_KEY_SERIAL setsockopt() option to the crypto API. This allows users to pass a key_serial_t to the crypto API to perform symmetric encryption. The behavior is the same as ALG_SET_KEY, but the crypto key data is copied in kernel space from a keyring key, which allows for the support of logon, encrypted, and trusted key types. Keyring keys must have the KEY_(POS|USR|GRP|OTH)_SEARCH permission set to leverage this feature. This follows the asymmetric_key type where key lookup calls eventually lead to keyring_search_rcu() without the KEYRING_SEARCH_NO_CHECK_PERM flag set.

So move the prototypes and all related definitions to a new header file under include/crypto/internal.

* crypto: af_alg - add extra parameters for DRBG interfaceElena Petrova2020-09-251-3/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the user-space RNG interface: 1. Add entropy input via ALG_SET_DRBG_ENTROPY setsockopt option; 2. Add additional data input via sendmsg syscall. This allows DRBG to be tested with test vectors, for example for the purpose of CAVP testing, which otherwise isn't possible. To prevent erroneous use of entropy input, it is hidden under CRYPTO_USER_API_RNG_CAVP config option and requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN to succeed.

* crypto: algapi - make unregistration functions return voidEric Biggers2019-12-201-22/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the algorithm unregistration functions return -ENOENT when asked to unregister a non-registered algorithm, while others always return 0 or always return void. But no users check the return value, except for two of the bulk unregistration functions which print a message on error but still always return 0 to their caller, and crypto_del_alg() which calls crypto_unregister_instance() which always returns 0. Since unregistering a non-registered algorithm is always a kernel bug but there isn't anything callers should do to handle this situation at runtime, let's simplify things by making all the unregistration functions return void, and moving the error message into crypto_unregister_alg() and upgrading it to a WARN().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that all "blkcipher" algorithms have been converted to "skcipher", remove the blkcipher algorithm type. The skcipher (symmetric key cipher) algorithm type was introduced a few years ago to replace both blkcipher and ablkcipher (synchronous and asynchronous block cipher). The advantages of skcipher include: - A much less confusing name, since none of these algorithm types have ever actually been for raw block ciphers, but rather for all length-preserving encryption modes including block cipher modes of operation, stream ciphers, and other length-preserving modes. - It unified blkcipher and ablkcipher into a single algorithm type which supports both synchronous and asynchronous implementations. Note, blkcipher already operated only on scatterlists, so the fact that skcipher does too isn't a regression in functionality. - Better type safety by using struct skcipher_alg, struct crypto_skcipher, etc. instead of crypto_alg, crypto_tfm, etc. - It sometimes simplifies the implementations of algorithms. Also, the blkcipher API was no longer being tested. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

* crypto: doc - improve the skcipher API example codeEric Biggers2019-06-131-99/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rewrite the skcipher API example, changing it to encrypt a buffer with AES-256-XTS. This addresses various problems with the previous example: - It requests a specific driver "cbc-aes-aesni", which is unusual. Normally users ask for "cbc(aes)", not a specific driver. - It encrypts only a single AES block. For the reader, that doesn't clearly distinguish the "skcipher" API from the "cipher" API. - Showing how to encrypt something with bare CBC is arguably a poor choice of example, as it doesn't follow modern crypto trends. Now, usually authenticated encryption is recommended, in which case the user would use the AEAD API, not skcipher. Disk encryption is still a legitimate use for skcipher, but for that usually XTS is recommended. - Many other bugs and poor coding practices, such as not setting CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP, unnecessarily allocating a heap buffer for the IV, unnecessary NULL checks, using a pointless wrapper struct, and forgetting to set an error code in one case.

* crypto: shash - remove shash_desc::flagsEric Biggers2019-04-251-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The flags field in 'struct shash_desc' never actually does anything. The only ostensibly supported flag is CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP. However, no shash algorithm ever sleeps, making this flag a no-op. With this being the case, inevitably some users who can't sleep wrongly pass MAY_SLEEP. These would all need to be fixed if any shash algorithm actually started sleeping. For example, the shash_ahash_*() functions, which wrap a shash algorithm with the ahash API, pass through MAY_SLEEP from the ahash API to the shash API. However, the shash functions are called under kmap_atomic(), so actually they're assumed to never sleep. Even if it turns out that some users do need preemption points while hashing large buffers, we could easily provide a helper function crypto_shash_update_large() which divides the data into smaller chunks and calls crypto_shash_update() and cond_resched() for each chunk. It's not necessary to have a flag in 'struct shash_desc', nor is it necessary to make individual shash algorithms aware of this at all. Therefore, remove shash_desc::flags, and document that the crypto_shash_*() functions can be called from any context.

The first version was originally send as 3 patch series: [PATCH 00/36] Convert DocBook documents to ReST [PATCH 0/5] Convert more books to ReST [PATCH 00/13] Get rid of DocBook The lsm book was added as if it were a text file under Documentation. The plan is to merge it with another file under Documentation/security, after both this series and a security Documentation patch series gets merged. It also adjusts some Sphinx-pedantic errors/warnings on some kernel-doc markups. I also added some patches here to add PDF output for all existing ReST books.
