Commit 698de822780f ("crypto: testmgr - make it easier to enable the
full set of tests") removed support for building kernels that run only
the "fast" set of crypto self-tests by default. This assumed that
nearly everyone actually wanted the full set of tests, *if* they had
already chosen to enable the tests at all.
Unfortunately, it turns out that both Debian and Fedora intentionally
have the crypto self-tests enabled in their production kernels. And for
production kernels we do need to keep the testing time down, which
implies just running the "fast" tests, not the full set of tests.
For Fedora, a reason for enabling the tests in production is that they
are being (mis)used to meet the FIPS 140-3 pre-operational testing
requirement.
However, the other reason for enabling the tests in production, which
applies to both distros, is that they provide some value in protecting
users from buggy drivers. Unfortunately, the crypto/ subsystem has many
buggy and untested drivers for off-CPU hardware accelerators on rare
platforms. These broken drivers get shipped to users, and there have
been multiple examples of the tests preventing these buggy drivers from
being used. So effectively, the tests are being relied on in production
kernels. I think this is kind of crazy (untested drivers should just
not be enabled at all), but that seems to be how things work currently.
Thus, reintroduce a kconfig option that controls the level of testing.
Call it CRYPTO_SELFTESTS_FULL instead of the original name
CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS, which was slightly misleading.
Moreover, given the "production kernel" use case, make CRYPTO_SELFTESTS
depend on EXPERT instead of DEBUG_KERNEL.
I also haven't reinstated all the #ifdefs in crypto/testmgr.c. Instead,
just rely on the compiler to optimize out unused code.

crypto/testmgr.c is compiled only when CRYPTO_MANAGER is enabled. To
make CRYPTO_SELFTESTS work as expected when CRYPTO_MANAGER doesn't get
enabled for another reason, automatically set CRYPTO_MANAGER to the
value of CRYPTO_ALGAPI when CRYPTO_SELFTESTS is enabled.

Currently the full set of crypto self-tests requires
CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS=y. This is problematic in two ways.
First, developers regularly overlook this option. Second, the
description of the tests as "extra" sometimes gives the impression that
it is not required that all algorithms pass these tests.
Given that the main use case for the crypto self-tests is for
developers, make enabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_SELFTESTS=y just enable the full
set of crypto self-tests by default.
The slow tests can still be disabled by adding the command-line
parameter cryptomgr.noextratests=1, soon to be renamed to
cryptomgr.noslowtests=1. The only known use case for doing this is for
people trying to use the crypto self-tests to satisfy the FIPS 140-3
pre-operational self-testing requirements when the kernel is being
validated as a FIPS 140-3 cryptographic module.

The negative-sense of CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS is a longstanding
mistake that regularly causes confusion. Especially bad is that you can
have CRYPTO=n && CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS=n, which is ambiguous.
Replace CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS with CRYPTO_SELFTESTS which has the
expected behavior.
The tests continue to be disabled by default.

As has been done for various other algorithms, rework the design of the
SHA-256 library to support arch-optimized implementations, and make
crypto/sha256.c expose both generic and arch-optimized shash algorithms
that wrap the library functions.
This allows users of the SHA-256 library functions to take advantage of
the arch-optimized code, and this makes it much simpler to integrate
SHA-256 for each architecture.
Note that sha256_base.h is not used in the new design. It will be
removed once all the architecture-specific code has been updated.
Move the generic block function into its own module to avoid a circular
dependency from libsha256.ko => sha256-$ARCH.ko => libsha256.ko.

Now that the architecture-optimized Poly1305 kconfig symbols are defined
regardless of CRYPTO, there is no need for CRYPTO_LIB_POLY1305 to select
CRYPTO. So, remove that. This makes the indirection through the
CRYPTO_LIB_POLY1305_INTERNAL symbol unnecessary, so get rid of that and
just use CRYPTO_LIB_POLY1305 directly. Finally, make the fallback to
the generic implementation use a default value instead of a select; this
makes it consistent with how the arch-optimized code gets enabled and
also with how CRYPTO_LIB_BLAKE2S_GENERIC gets enabled.

Add an AEAD template that does hash-then-cipher (unlike authenc that does
cipher-then-hash). This is required for a number of Kerberos 5 encoding
types.
[!] Note that the net/sunrpc/auth_gss/ implementation gets a pair of
ciphers, one non-CTS and one CTS, using the former to do all the aligned
blocks and the latter to do the last two blocks if they aren't also
aligned. It may be necessary to do this here too for performance reasons -
but there are considerations both ways:
(1) firstly, there is an optimised assembly version of cts(cbc(aes)) on
x86_64 that should be used instead of having two ciphers;
(2) secondly, none of the hardware offload drivers seem to offer CTS
support (Intel QAT does not, for instance).
However, I don't know if it's possible to query the crypto API to find out
whether there's an optimised CTS algorithm available.

The ARCH_MAY_HAVE patch missed arm64, mips and s390. But it may
also lead to arch options being enabled but ineffective because
of modular/built-in conflicts.
As the primary user of all these options wireguard is selecting
the arch options anyway, make the same selections at the lib/crypto
option level and hide the arch options from the user.
Instead of selecting them centrally from lib/crypto, simply set
the default of each arch option as suggested by Eric Biggers.
Change the Crypto API generic algorithms to select the top-level
lib/crypto options instead of the generic one as otherwise there
is no way to enable the arch options (Eric Biggers). Introduce a
set of INTERNAL options to work around dependency cycles on the
CONFIG_CRYPTO symbol.

Remove the "crct10dif" shash algorithm from the crypto API. It has no
known user now that the lib is no longer built on top of it. It has no
remaining references in kernel code. The only other potential users
would be the usual components that allow specifying arbitrary hash
algorithms by name, namely AF_ALG and dm-integrity. However there are
no indications that "crct10dif" is being used with these components.
Debian Code Search and web searches don't find anything relevant, and
explicitly grepping the source code of the usual suspects (cryptsetup,
libell, iwd) finds no matches either. "crc32" and "crc32c" are used in
a few more places, but that doesn't seem to be the case for "crct10dif".
crc_t10dif_update() is also tested by crc_kunit now, so the test
coverage provided via the crypto self-tests is no longer needed.
Also note that the "crct10dif" shash algorithm was inconsistent with the
rest of the shash API in that it wrote the digest in CPU endianness,
making the resulting byte array differ on little endian vs. big endian
platforms. This means it was effectively just built for use by the lib
functions, and it was not actually correct to treat it as "just another
hash function" that could be dropped in via the shash API.

Remove crc64-rocksoft from the crypto API. It has no known user now
that the lib is no longer built on top of it. It was also added much
more recently than the longstanding crc32 and crc32c. Unlike crc32 and
crc32c, crc64-rocksoft is also not mentioned in the dm-integrity
documentation and there are no references to it in anywhere in the
cryptsetup git repo, so it is unlikely to have any user there either.
Also, this CRC variant is named incorrectly; it has nothing to do with
Rocksoft and should be called crc64-nvme. That is yet another reason to
remove it from the crypto API; we would not want anyone to start
depending on the current incorrect algorithm name of crc64-rocksoft.
Note that this change temporarily makes this CRC variant not be covered
by any tests, as previously it was relying on the crypto self-tests.
This will be fixed by adding this CRC variant to crc_kunit.

The keywrap (kw) algorithm has no in-tree user. It has never had an
in-tree user, and the patch that added it provided no justification for
its inclusion. Even use of it via AF_ALG is impossible, as it uses a
weird calling convention where part of the ciphertext is returned via
the IV buffer, which is not returned to userspace in AF_ALG.
It's also unclear whether any new code in the kernel that does key
wrapping would actually use this algorithm. It is controversial in the
cryptographic community due to having no clearly stated security goal,
no security proof, poor performance, and only a 64-bit auth tag. Later
work (https://eprint.iacr.org/2006/221) suggested that the goal is
deterministic authenticated encryption. But there are now more modern
algorithms for this, and this is not the same as key wrapping, for which
a regular AEAD such as AES-GCM usually can be (and is) used instead.
Therefore, remove this unused code.
There were several special cases for this algorithm in the self-tests,
due to its weird calling convention. Remove those too.

Remove the vmac64 template, as it has no known users. It also continues
to have longstanding bugs such as alignment violations (see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241226134847.6690-1-evepolonium@gmail.com/).
This code was added in 2009 by commit f1939f7c5645 ("crypto: vmac - New
hash algorithm for intel_txt support"). Based on the mention of
intel_txt support in the commit title, it seems it was added as a
prerequisite for the contemporaneous patch
"intel_txt: add s3 userspace memory integrity verification"
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/4ABF2B50.6070106@intel.com/). In the design
proposed by that patch, when an Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT)
enabled system resumed from suspend, the "tboot" trusted executable
launched the Linux kernel without verifying userspace memory, and then
the Linux kernel used VMAC to verify userspace memory.
However, that patch was never merged, as reviewers had objected to the
design. It was later reworked into commit 4bd96a7a8185 ("x86, tboot:
Add support for S3 memory integrity protection") which made tboot verify
the memory instead. Thus the VMAC support in Linux was never used.
No in-tree user has appeared since then, other than potentially the
usual components that allow specifying arbitrary hash algorithms by
name, namely AF_ALG and dm-integrity. However there are no indications
that VMAC is being used with these components. Debian Code Search and
web searches for "vmac64" (the actual algorithm name) do not return any
results other than the kernel itself, suggesting that it does not appear
in any other code or documentation. Explicitly grepping the source code
of the usual suspects (libell, iwd, cryptsetup) finds no matches either.
Before 2018, the vmac code was also completely broken due to using a
hardcoded nonce and the wrong endianness for the MAC. It was then fixed
by commit ed331adab35b ("crypto: vmac - add nonced version with big
endian digest") and commit 0917b873127c ("crypto: vmac - remove insecure
version with hardcoded nonce"). These were intentionally breaking
changes that changed all the computed MAC values as well as the
algorithm name ("vmac" to "vmac64"). No complaints were ever received
about these breaking changes, strongly suggesting the absence of users.
The reason I had put some effort into fixing this code in 2018 is
because it was used by an out-of-tree driver. But if it is still needed
in that particular out-of-tree driver, the code can be carried in that
driver instead. There is no need to carry it upstream.

In preparation for making the CRC-T10DIF library directly optimized for
each architecture, like what has been done for CRC32, get rid of the
weird layering where crc_t10dif_update() calls into the crypto API.
Instead, move crc_t10dif_generic() into the crc-t10dif library module,
and make crc_t10dif_update() just call crc_t10dif_generic().
Acceleration will be reintroduced via crc_t10dif_arch() in the following

A sig_alg backend has just been introduced with the intent of moving all
asymmetric sign/verify algorithms to it one by one.
Migrate the sign/verify operations from rsa-pkcs1pad.c to a separate
rsassa-pkcs1.c which uses the new backend.
Consequently there are now two templates which build on the "rsa"
akcipher_alg:
* The existing "pkcs1pad" template, which is instantiated as an
akcipher_instance and retains the encrypt/decrypt operations of
RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5 (RFC 8017 sec 7.2).
* The new "pkcs1" template, which is instantiated as a sig_instance
and contains the sign/verify operations of RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5
(RFC 8017 sec 8.2).
In a separate step, rsa-pkcs1pad.c could optionally be renamed to
rsaes-pkcs1.c for clarity. Additional "oaep" and "pss" templates
could be added for RSAES-OAEP and RSASSA-PSS.
Note that it's currently allowed to allocate a "pkcs1pad(rsa)" transform
without specifying a hash algorithm. That makes sense if the transform
is only used for encrypt/decrypt and continues to be supported. But for
sign/verify, such transforms previously did not insert the Full Hash
Prefix into the padding. The resulting message encoding was incompliant
with EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 (RFC 8017 sec 9.2) and therefore nonsensical.
From here on in, it is no longer allowed to allocate a transform without
specifying a hash algorithm if the transform is used for sign/verify
operations. This simplifies the code because the insertion of the Full
Hash Prefix is no longer optional, so various "if (digest_info)" clauses
can be removed.
There has been a previous attempt to forbid transform allocation without
specifying a hash algorithm, namely by commit c0d20d22e0ad ("crypto:
rsa-pkcs1pad - Require hash to be present"). It had to be rolled back
with commit b3a8c8a5ebb5 ("crypto: rsa-pkcs1pad: Allow hash to be
optional [ver #2]"), presumably because it broke allocation of a
transform which was solely used for encrypt/decrypt, not sign/verify.
Avoid such breakage by allowing transform allocation for encrypt/decrypt
with and without specifying a hash algorithm (and simply ignoring the
hash algorithm in the former case).
So again, specifying a hash algorithm is now mandatory for sign/verify,
but optional and ignored for encrypt/decrypt.
The new sig_alg API uses kernel buffers instead of sglists, which
avoids the overhead of copying signature and digest from sglists back
into kernel buffers. rsassa-pkcs1.c is thus simplified quite a bit.
sig_alg is always synchronous, whereas the underlying "rsa" akcipher_alg
may be asynchronous. So await the result of the akcipher_alg, similar
to crypto_akcipher_sync_{en,de}crypt().
As part of the migration, rename "rsa_digest_info" to "hash_prefix" to
adhere to the spec language in RFC 9580. Otherwise keep the code
unmodified wherever possible to ease reviewing and bisecting. Leave
several simplification and hardening opportunities to separate commits.
rsassa-pkcs1.c uses modern __free() syntax for allocation of buffers
which need to be freed by kfree_sensitive(), hence a DEFINE_FREE()
clause for kfree_sensitive() is introduced herein as a byproduct.

The user space Jitter RNG library uses the oversampling rate of 3 which
implies that each time stamp is credited with 1/3 bit of entropy. To
obtain 256 bits of entropy, 768 time stamps need to be sampled. The
increase in OSR is applied based on a report where the Jitter RNG is
used on a system exhibiting a challenging environment to collect
entropy.
This OSR default value is now applied to the Linux kernel version of
the Jitter RNG as well.
The increase in the OSR from 1 to 3 also implies that the Jitter RNG is
now slower by default.

The SM2 algorithm has a single user in the kernel. However, it's
never been integrated properly with that user: asymmetric_keys.
The crux of the issue is that the way it computes its digest with
sm3 does not fit into the architecture of asymmetric_keys. As no
solution has been proposed, remove this algorithm.
It can be resubmitted when it is integrated properly into the
asymmetric_keys subsystem.

Remove support for the "Crypto usage statistics" feature
(CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS). This feature does not appear to have ever been
used, and it is harmful because it significantly reduces performance and
is a large maintenance burden.
Covering each of these points in detail:
1. Feature is not being used
Since these generic crypto statistics are only readable using netlink,
it's fairly straightforward to look for programs that use them. I'm
unable to find any evidence that any such programs exist. For example,
Debian Code Search returns no hits except the kernel header and kernel
code itself and translations of the kernel header:
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=CRYPTOCFGA_STAT&literal=1&perpkg=1
The patch series that added this feature in 2018
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/1537351855-16618-1-git-send-email-clabbe@baylibre.com/)
said "The goal is to have an ifconfig for crypto device." This doesn't
appear to have happened.
It's not clear that there is real demand for crypto statistics. Just
because the kernel provides other types of statistics such as I/O and
networking statistics and some people find those useful does not mean
that crypto statistics are useful too.
Further evidence that programs are not using CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is that
it was able to be disabled in RHEL and Fedora as a bug fix
(https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-9/-/merge_requests/2947).
Even further evidence comes from the fact that there are and have been
bugs in how the stats work, but they were never reported. For example,
before Linux v6.7 hash stats were double-counted in most cases.
There has also never been any documentation for this feature, so it
might be hard to use even if someone wanted to.
2. CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS significantly reduces performance
Enabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS significantly reduces the performance of
the crypto API, even if no program ever retrieves the statistics. This
primarily affects systems with a large number of CPUs. For example,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2039576 reported
that Lustre client encryption performance improved from 21.7GB/s to
48.2GB/s by disabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS.
It can be argued that this means that CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS should be
optimized with per-cpu counters similar to many of the networking
counters. But no one has done this in 5+ years. This is consistent
with the fact that the feature appears to be unused, so there seems to
be little interest in improving it as opposed to just disabling it.
It can be argued that because CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is off by default,
performance doesn't matter. But Linux distros tend to error on the side
of enabling options. The option is enabled in Ubuntu and Arch Linux,
and until recently was enabled in RHEL and Fedora (see above). So, even
just having the option available is harmful to users.
3. CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is a large maintenance burden
There are over 1000 lines of code associated with CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS,
spread among 32 files. It significantly complicates much of the
implementation of the crypto API. After the initial submission, many
fixes and refactorings have consumed effort of multiple people to keep
this feature "working". We should be spending this effort elsewhere.

The oversampling rate used by the Jitter RNG allows the configuration of
the heuristically implied entropy in one timing measurement. This
entropy rate is (1 / OSR) bits of entropy per time stamp.
Considering that the Jitter RNG now support APT/RCT health tests for
different OSRs, allow this value to be configured at compile time to
support systems with limited amount of entropy in their timer.
The allowed range of OSR values complies with the APT/RCT cutoff health
test values which range from 1 through 15.
The default value of the OSR selection support is left at 1 which is the
current default. Thus, the addition of the configuration support does
not alter the default Jitter RNG behavior.

The memory size consumed by the Jitter RNG is one contributing factor in
the amount of entropy that is gathered. As the amount of entropy
directly correlates with the distance of the memory from the CPU, the
caches that are possibly present on a given system have an impact on the
collected entropy.
Thus, the kernel compile time should offer a means to configure the
amount of memory used by the Jitter RNG. Although this option could be
turned into a runtime option (e.g. a kernel command line option), it
should remain a compile time option as otherwise adminsitrators who may
not have performed an entropy assessment may select a value that is
inappropriate.
The default value selected by the configuration is identical to the
current Jitter RNG value. Thus, the patch should not lead to any change
in the Jitter RNG behavior.
To accommodate larger memory buffers, kvzalloc / kvfree is used.

Split out the sign/verify functionality from the existing akcipher
interface. Most algorithms in akcipher either support encryption
and decryption, or signing and verify. Only one supports both.
As a signature algorithm may not support encryption at all, these
two should be spearated.
For now sig is simply a wrapper around akcipher as all algorithms
remain unchanged. This is a first step and allows users to start
allocating sig instead of akcipher.
