2009-07-07crypto: api - Add new template create functionHerbert Xu
This patch introduces the template->create function intended to replace the existing alloc function. The intention is for create to handle the registration directly, whereas currently the caller of alloc has to handle the registration. This allows type-specific code to be run prior to registration.

2009-06-02crypto: testmgr - Dynamically allocate xbuf and axbufHerbert Xu
We currently allocate temporary memory that is used for testing statically. This renders the testing engine non-reentrant. As algorithms may nest, i.e., one may construct another in order to carry out a part of its operation, this is unacceptable. For example, it has been reported that an AEAD implementation allocates a cipher in its setkey function, which causes it to fail during testing as the temporary memory is overwritten. This patch replaces the static memory with dynamically allocated buffers. We need a maximum of 16 pages so this slightly increases the chances of an algorithm failing due to memory shortage. However, as testing usually occurs at registration, this shouldn't be a big problem. Reported-by: Shasi Pulijala <spulijala@amcc.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-02-18crypto: testmgr - Test skciphers with no IVsHerbert Xu
As it is an skcipher with no IV escapes testing altogether because we only test givcipher objects. This patch fixes the bypass logic to test these algorithms. Conversely, we're currently testing nivaead algorithms with IVs, which would have deadlocked had it not been for the fact that no nivaead algorithms have any test vectors. This patch also fixes that case. Both fixes are ugly as hell, but this ugliness should hopefully disappear once we move them into the per-type code (i.e., the AEAD test would live in aead.c and the skcipher stuff in ablkcipher.c).

2008-08-29crypto: cryptomgr - Test ciphers using ECBHerbert Xu
As it is we only test ciphers when combined with a mode. That means users that do not invoke a mode of operations may get an untested cipher. This patch tests all ciphers using the ECB mode so that simple cipher users such as ansi-cprng are also protected. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-08-29crypto: api - Use test infrastructureHerbert Xu
This patch makes use of the new testing infrastructure by requiring algorithms to pass a run-time test before they're made available to users. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-08-29crypto: cryptomgr - Add test infrastructureHerbert Xu
This patch moves the newly created alg_test infrastructure into cryptomgr. This shall allow us to use it for testing at algorithm registrations. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
