[CRYPTO] api: Add aead crypto type This patch adds crypto_aead which is the interface for AEAD (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) algorithms. AEAD algorithms perform authentication and encryption in one step. Traditionally users (such as IPsec) would use two different crypto algorithms to perform these. With AEAD this comes down to one algorithm and one operation. Of course if traditional algorithms were used we'd still be doing two operations underneath. However, real AEAD algorithms may allow the underlying operations to be optimised as well. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

[CRYPTO] aead: Make authsize a run-time parameter As it is authsize is an algorithm paramter which cannot be changed at run-time. This is inconvenient because hardware that implements such algorithms would have to register each authsize that they support separately. Since authsize is a property common to all AEAD algorithms, we can add a function setauthsize that sets it at run-time, just like setkey. This patch does exactly that and also changes authenc so that authsize is no longer a parameter of its template. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

[CRYPTO] aead: Add givcrypt operations This patch adds the underlying givcrypt operations for aead and associated support elements. The rationale is identical to that of the skcipher givcrypt operations, i.e., sometimes only the algorithm knows how the IV should be generated. A new request type aead_givcrypt_request is added which contains an embedded aead_request structure with two new elements to support this operation. The new elements are seq and giv. The seq field should contain a strictly increasing 64-bit integer which may be used by certain IV generators as an input value. The giv field will be used to store the generated IV. It does not need to obey the alignment requirements of the algorithm because it's not used during the operation. The existing iv field must still be available as it will be used to store intermediate IVs and the output IV if chaining is desired. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

crypto: aead - Avoid infinite loop when nivaead fails selftest When an aead constructed through crypto_nivaead_default fails its selftest, we'll loop forever trying to construct new aead objects but failing because it already exists. The crux of the issue is that once an aead fails the selftest, we'll ignore it on the next run through crypto_aead_lookup and attempt to construct a new aead. We should instead return an error to the caller if we find an an that has failed the test. This bug hasn't manifested itself yet because we don't have any test vectors for the existing nivaead algorithms. They're tested through the underlying algorithms only.

[CRYPTO] api: Add aead crypto type This patch adds crypto_aead which is the interface for AEAD (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) algorithms. AEAD algorithms perform authentication and encryption in one step. Traditionally users (such as IPsec) would use two different crypto algorithms to perform these. With AEAD this comes down to one algorithm and one operation. Of course if traditional algorithms were used we'd still be doing two operations underneath. However, real AEAD algorithms may allow the underlying operations to be optimised as well. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
