crypto: remove propagation of CRYPTO_TFM_RES_* flags

2020-01-09T03:30:53Z

The CRYPTO_TFM_RES_* flags were apparently meant as a way to make the ->setkey() functions provide more information about errors. But these flags weren't actually being used or tested, and in many cases they weren't being set correctly anyway. So they've now been removed. Also, if someone ever actually needs to start better distinguishing ->setkey() errors (which is somewhat unlikely, as this has been unneeded for a long time), we'd be much better off just defining different return values, like -EINVAL if the key is invalid for the algorithm vs. -EKEYREJECTED if the key was rejected by a policy like "no weak keys". That would be much simpler, less error-prone, and easier to test. So just remove CRYPTO_TFM_RES_MASK and all the unneeded logic that propagates these flags around.

crypto: remove CRYPTO_TFM_RES_WEAK_KEY

2020-01-09T03:30:53Z

The CRYPTO_TFM_RES_WEAK_KEY flag was apparently meant as a way to make the ->setkey() functions provide more information about errors. However, no one actually checks for this flag, which makes it pointless. There are also no tests that verify that all algorithms actually set (or don't set) it correctly. This is also the last remaining CRYPTO_TFM_RES_* flag, which means that it's the only thing still needing all the boilerplate code which propagates these flags around from child => parent tfms. And if someone ever needs to distinguish this error in the future (which is somewhat unlikely, as it's been unneeded for a long time), it would be much better to just define a new return value like -EKEYREJECTED. That would be much simpler, less error-prone, and easier to test. So just remove this flag. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: remove CRYPTO_TFM_RES_BAD_KEY_LEN

2020-01-09T03:30:53Z

The CRYPTO_TFM_RES_BAD_KEY_LEN flag was apparently meant as a way to make the ->setkey() functions provide more information about errors. However, no one actually checks for this flag, which makes it pointless. Also, many algorithms fail to set this flag when given a bad length key. Reviewing just the generic implementations, this is the case for aes-fixed-time, cbcmac, echainiv, nhpoly1305, pcrypt, rfc3686, rfc4309, rfc7539, rfc7539esp, salsa20, seqiv, and xcbc. But there are probably many more in arch/*/crypto/ and drivers/crypto/. Some algorithms can even set this flag when the key is the correct length. For example, authenc and authencesn set it when the key payload is malformed in any way (not just a bad length), the atmel-sha and ccree drivers can set it if a memory allocation fails, and the chelsio driver sets it for bad auth tag lengths, not just bad key lengths. So even if someone actually wanted to start checking this flag (which seems unlikely, since it's been unused for a long time), there would be a lot of work needed to get it working correctly. But it would probably be much better to go back to the drawing board and just define different return values, like -EINVAL if the key is invalid for the algorithm vs. -EKEYREJECTED if the key was rejected by a policy like "no weak keys". That would be much simpler, less error-prone, and easier to test. So just remove this flag. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Reviewed-by: Horia Geantă Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: remove CRYPTO_TFM_RES_BAD_BLOCK_LEN

2020-01-09T03:30:52Z

The flag CRYPTO_TFM_RES_BAD_BLOCK_LEN is never checked for, and it's only set by one driver. And even that single driver's use is wrong because the driver is setting the flag from ->encrypt() and ->decrypt() with no locking, which is unsafe because ->encrypt() and ->decrypt() can be executed by many threads in parallel on the same tfm. Just remove this flag. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

The tfm result flags CRYPTO_TFM_RES_BAD_KEY_SCHED and CRYPTO_TFM_RES_BAD_FLAGS are never used, so remove them. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: algapi - make unregistration functions return void

2019-12-20T06:58:35Z

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().

crypto: cipher - remove crt_u.cipher (struct cipher_tfm)

2019-12-11T08:37:01Z

Of the three fields in crt_u.cipher (struct cipher_tfm), ->cit_setkey() is pointless because it always points to setkey() in crypto/cipher.c. ->cit_decrypt_one() and ->cit_encrypt_one() are slightly less pointless, since if the algorithm doesn't have an alignmask, they are set directly to ->cia_encrypt() and ->cia_decrypt(). However, this "optimization" isn't worthwhile because: - The "cipher" algorithm type is the only algorithm still using crt_u, so it's bloating every struct crypto_tfm for every algorithm type. - If the algorithm has an alignmask, this "optimization" actually makes things slower, as it causes 2 indirect calls per block rather than 1. - It adds extra code complexity. - Some templates already call ->cia_encrypt()/->cia_decrypt() directly instead of going through ->cit_encrypt_one()/->cit_decrypt_one(). - The "cipher" algorithm type never gives optimal performance anyway. For that, a higher-level type such as skcipher needs to be used. Therefore, just remove the extra indirection, and make crypto_cipher_setkey(), crypto_cipher_encrypt_one(), and crypto_cipher_decrypt_one() be direct calls into crypto/cipher.c. Also remove the unused function crypto_cipher_cast(). Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: compress - remove crt_u.compress (struct compress_tfm)

2019-12-11T08:37:01Z

crt_u.compress (struct compress_tfm) is pointless because its two fields, ->cot_compress() and ->cot_decompress(), always point to crypto_compress() and crypto_decompress(). Remove this pointless indirection, and just make crypto_comp_compress() and crypto_comp_decompress() be direct calls to what used to be crypto_compress() and crypto_decompress(). Also remove the unused function crypto_comp_cast(). Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

Now that all users of the deprecated ablkcipher interface have been moved to the skcipher interface, ablkcipher is no longer used and can be removed. Reviewed-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
