Hi,
This patch set adds AEAD and RNG support to the AF_ALG interface exported by the kernel crypto API. By extending AF_ALG with AEAD and RNG support, all cipher types the kernel crypto API allows access to are now accessible from userspace.
Both, AEAD and RNG implementations are stand-alone and do not depend other AF_ALG interfaces (like hash or skcipher).
The AEAD implementation uses the same approach as provided with skcipher by offering the following interfaces:
* sendmsg and recvmsg interfaces allowing multiple invocations supporting a threaded user space. To support multi-threaded user space, kernel-side buffering is implemented similarly to skcipher.
* splice / vmsplice interfaces allowing a zero-copy invocation
The RNG interface only implements the recvmsg interface as zero-copy is not applicable.
The new AEAD and RNG interfaces are fully tested with the test application provided at [1]. That test application exercises all newly added user space interfaces. The testing covers:
* use of the sendmsg/recvmsg interface
* use of the splice / vmsplice interface
* invocation of all AF_ALG types (aead, rng, skcipher, hash)
* using all types of operation (encryption, decryption, keyed MD, MD, random numbers, AEAD decryption with positive and negative authentication verification)
* stress testing by running all tests for 30 minutes in an endless loop
* test execution on 64 bit and 32 bit

Changes v2: * rebase to current cryptodev-2.6 tree * use memzero_explicit to zeroize AEAD associated data * use sizeof for determining length of AEAD associated data * update algif_rng.c covering all suggestions from Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> * addition of patch 9: add digestsize interface for hashes * addition of patch to update documentation covering the userspace interface * change numbers of getsockopt options: separate them from sendmsg interface definitions
Changes v3: * remove getsockopt interface * AEAD: associated data is set prepended to the plain/ciphertext * AEAD: allowing arbitrary associated data lengths * remove setkey patch as protection was already in the existing code
Changes v4: * stand-alone implementation of AEAD * testing of all interfaces offered by AEAD * stress testing of AEAD and RNG
Changes v5: * AEAD: add outer while(size) loop in aead_sendmsg to ensure all data is copied into the kernel (reporter Herbert Xu) * AEAD: aead_sendmsg bug fix: change size -= len; to size -= plen; * AF_ALG / AEAD: add aead_setauthsize and associated extension to struct af_alg_type as well as alg_setsockopt (reporter Herbert Xu) * RNG: rng_recvmsg: use 128 byte stack variable for output of RNG instead of ctx->result (reporter Herbert Xu) * RNG / AF_ALG: allow user space to seed RNG via setsockopt * RNG: rng_recvmsg bug fix: use genlen as result variable for crypto_rng_get_bytes as previously no negative errors were obtained * AF_ALG: alg_setop: zeroize buffer before free
