The\nimplementation is fully optimized with the existing\narchitecture-optimized AES code, either single-block AES en/decryption\nor arm64's neon_aes_mac_update() and ce_aes_mac_update(). As usual,\noptimizations are now enabled by default as well.\n\nAES-CMAC support will be useful for at least the SMB client and server,\nand the bluetooth and mac80211 drivers. Patches 8-15 convert these\nusers to use the crypto library API instead of crypto_shash, though\nthese patches will likely go in via subsystem trees later. They result\nin some significant simplifications and performance improvements.\n\nAs usual, a KUnit test suite, FIPS self-test, and traditional crypto API\nwrapper algorithms are included as well.\n\nNote that I'm also planning to add additional AES modes to the library.\nThis is just an initial set of AES modes to get things started.\nNotably, with the SMB client and server already using the SHA* and MD5\nlibraries, \"cmac(aes)\" was the only remaining use of crypto_shash there.\nSo it makes sense to take care of that.\n\nEric Biggers (15):\n lib/crypto: aes: Add support for CBC-based MACs\n crypto: aes - Add cmac, xcbc, and cbcmac algorithms using library\n crypto: arm64/aes - Fix 32-bit aes_mac_update() arg treated as 64-bit\n lib/crypto: arm64/aes: Move assembly code for AES modes into libaes\n lib/crypto: arm64/aes: Migrate optimized CBC-based MACs into library\n lib/crypto: tests: Add KUnit tests for CBC-based MACs\n lib/crypto: aes: Add FIPS self-test for CMAC\n smb: client: Use AES-CMAC library for SMB3 signature calculation\n smb: client: Remove obsolete cmac(aes) allocation\n smb: client: Make generate_key() return void\n smb: client: Drop 'allocate_crypto' arg from smb*_calc_signature()\n ksmbd: Use AES-CMAC library for SMB3 signature calculation\n Bluetooth: SMP: Use AES-CMAC library API\n wifi: mac80211: Use AES-CMAC library in ieee80211_aes_cmac()\n wifi: mac80211: Use AES-CMAC library in aes_s2v()\n\n arch/arm64/crypto/Kconfig | 2 +-\n arch/arm64/crypto/Makefile | 4 +-\n arch/arm64/crypto/aes-ce-ccm-glue.c | 4 -\n arch/arm64/crypto/aes-glue.c | 260 +-----------------\n arch/arm64/crypto/aes-neonbs-glue.c | 15 +-\n crypto/Kconfig | 2 +\n crypto/aes.c | 183 +++++++++++-\n crypto/testmgr.c | 10 +-\n drivers/crypto/starfive/jh7110-aes.c | 2 +-\n fs/smb/client/Kconfig | 2 +-\n fs/smb/client/cifs_unicode.c | 1 +\n fs/smb/client/cifsencrypt.c | 62 ++---\n fs/smb/client/cifsfs.c | 1 -\n fs/smb/client/cifsglob.h | 7 +-\n fs/smb/client/cifsproto.h | 3 -\n fs/smb/client/misc.c | 57 ----\n fs/smb/client/sess.c | 11 -\n fs/smb/client/smb2proto.h | 1 -\n fs/smb/client/smb2transport.c | 113 ++------\n fs/smb/server/Kconfig | 2 +-\n fs/smb/server/auth.c | 51 +---\n fs/smb/server/auth.h | 4 +-\n fs/smb/server/crypto_ctx.c | 58 ----\n fs/smb/server/crypto_ctx.h | 12 -\n fs/smb/server/server.c | 1 -\n fs/smb/server/smb2pdu.c | 8 +-\n include/crypto/aes-cbc-macs.h | 154 +++++++++++\n include/crypto/aes.h | 66 +++++\n lib/crypto/Kconfig | 10 +\n lib/crypto/Makefile | 4 +-\n lib/crypto/aes.c | 231 +++++++++++++++-\n .../crypto => lib/crypto/arm64}/aes-ce.S | 0\n .../crypto => lib/crypto/arm64}/aes-modes.S | 23 +-\n .../crypto => lib/crypto/arm64}/aes-neon.S | 0\n lib/crypto/arm64/aes.h | 76 ++++-\n lib/crypto/fips.h | 5 +\n lib/crypto/tests/Kconfig | 10 +\n lib/crypto/tests/Makefile | 1 +\n lib/crypto/tests/aes-cmac-testvecs.h | 181 ++++++++++++\n lib/crypto/tests/aes_cbc_macs_kunit.c | 228 +++++++++++++++\n net/bluetooth/Kconfig | 3 +-\n net/bluetooth/smp.c | 180 +++++-------\n net/mac80211/Kconfig | 2 +-\n net/mac80211/aes_cmac.c | 65 +----\n net/mac80211/aes_cmac.h | 12 +-\n net/mac80211/fils_aead.c | 48 ++--\n net/mac80211/key.c | 11 +-\n net/mac80211/key.h | 3 +-\n net/mac80211/wpa.c | 13 +-\n scripts/crypto/gen-fips-testvecs.py | 10 +\n scripts/crypto/gen-hash-testvecs.py | 31 ++-\n 51 files changed, 1388 insertions(+), 855 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 include/crypto/aes-cbc-macs.h\n rename {arch/arm64/crypto => lib/crypto/arm64}/aes-ce.S (100%)\n rename {arch/arm64/crypto => lib/crypto/arm64}/aes-modes.S (98%)\n rename {arch/arm64/crypto => lib/crypto/arm64}/aes-neon.S (100%)\n create mode 100644 lib/crypto/tests/aes-cmac-testvecs.h\n create mode 100644 lib/crypto/tests/aes_cbc_macs_kunit.c\n\n\nbase-commit: 2961f841b025fb234860bac26dfb7fa7cb0fb122\nprerequisite-patch-id: 8eccdd31739fb317dfda9dddbfc5c3cd64e77331\nprerequisite-patch-id: ca782470cef2467042fbe8f0166933d7fa292628" }
