Revert "crypto: pkcs7 - remove sha1 support"

2024-03-22T11:42:20+00:00

This reverts commit 16ab7cb5825fc3425c16ad2c6e53d827f382d7c6 because it
broke iwd.  iwd uses the KEYCTL_PKEY_* UAPIs via its dependency libell,
and apparently it is relying on SHA-1 signature support.  These UAPIs
are fairly obscure, and their documentation does not mention which
algorithms they support.  iwd really should be using a properly
supported userspace crypto library instead.  Regardless, since something
broke we have to revert the change.

It may be possible that some parts of this commit can be reinstated
without breaking iwd (e.g. probably the removal of MODULE_SIG_SHA1), but
for now this just does a full revert to get things working again.

This reverts commit 2beb81fbf0c01a62515a1bcef326168494ee2bd0.

While removing CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is a worthy goal, this also
removed unrelated infrastructure such as crypto_comp_alg_common.

crypto: scomp - remove memcpy if sg_nents is 1 and pages are lowmem

2024-03-08T11:23:25+00:00

while sg_nents is 1, which is always true for the current kernel
as the only user - zswap is this case, we might have a chance to
remove memcpy, thus improve the performance.
Though sg_nents is 1, its buffer might cross two pages. If those
pages are highmem, we have no cheap way to map them to contiguous
virtual address because kmap doesn't support more than one page
(kmap single higmem page could be still expensive for tlb) and
vmap is expensive.
So we also test and enure page is not highmem in order to safely
use page_to_virt before removing the memcpy. The good news is
that in the most majority of cases, we are lowmem, and we are
always lowmem in those modern and popular hardware.

crypto: remove CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS

2024-03-01T10:35:40+00:00

Remove support for the "Crypto usage statistics" feature
(CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS).  This feature does not appear to have ever been
used, and it is harmful because it significantly reduces performance and
is a large maintenance burden.

Covering each of these points in detail:

1. Feature is not being used

Since these generic crypto statistics are only readable using netlink,
it's fairly straightforward to look for programs that use them.  I'm
unable to find any evidence that any such programs exist.  For example,
Debian Code Search returns no hits except the kernel header and kernel
code itself and translations of the kernel header:
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=CRYPTOCFGA_STAT&literal=1&perpkg=1

The patch series that added this feature in 2018
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/1537351855-16618-1-git-send-email-clabbe@baylibre.com/)
said "The goal is to have an ifconfig for crypto device."  This doesn't
appear to have happened.

It's not clear that there is real demand for crypto statistics.  Just
because the kernel provides other types of statistics such as I/O and
networking statistics and some people find those useful does not mean
that crypto statistics are useful too.

Further evidence that programs are not using CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is that
it was able to be disabled in RHEL and Fedora as a bug fix
(https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-9/-/merge_requests/2947).

Even further evidence comes from the fact that there are and have been
bugs in how the stats work, but they were never reported.  For example,
before Linux v6.7 hash stats were double-counted in most cases.

There has also never been any documentation for this feature, so it
might be hard to use even if someone wanted to.

2. CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS significantly reduces performance

Enabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS significantly reduces the performance of
the crypto API, even if no program ever retrieves the statistics.  This
primarily affects systems with large number of CPUs.  For example,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2039576 reported
that Lustre client encryption performance improved from 21.7GB/s to
48.2GB/s by disabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS.

It can be argued that this means that CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS should be
optimized with per-cpu counters similar to many of the networking
counters.  But no one has done this in 5+ years.  This is consistent
with the fact that the feature appears to be unused, so there seems to
be little interest in improving it as opposed to just disabling it.

It can be argued that because CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is off by default,
performance doesn't matter.  But Linux distros tend to error on the side
of enabling options.  The option is enabled in Ubuntu and Arch Linux,
and until recently was enabled in RHEL and Fedora (see above).  So, even
just having the option available is harmful to users.

3. CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS is a large maintenance burden

There are over 1000 lines of code associated with CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS,
spread among 32 files.  It significantly complicates much of the
implementation of the crypto API.  After the initial submission, many
fixes and refactorings have consumed effort of multiple people to keep
this feature "working".  We should be spending this effort elsewhere.

crypto: dh - Make public key test FIPS-only

2024-03-01T10:35:40+00:00

The function dh_is_pubkey_valid was added to for FIPS but it was
only partially conditional to fips_enabled.

In particular, the first test in the function relies on the last
test to work properly, but the last test is only run in FIPS mode.

Fix this inconsistency by making the whole function conditional
on fips_enabled.
