2008-12-30virtio: use LGUEST_VRING_ALIGN instead of relying on pagesizeRusty Russell
This doesn't really matter, since lguest is i386 only at the moment, but we could actually choose a different value. (lguest doesn't have a guarenteed ABI). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-12-30virtio: Don't use PAGE_SIZE for vring alignment in virtio_pci.Rusty Russell
That doesn't work for non-4k guests which are now appearing. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-12-30virtio: rename 'pagesize' arg to vring_init/vring_sizeRusty Russell
It's really the alignment desired for consumer/producer separation; historically this x86 pagesize, but with PowerPC it'll still be x86 pagesize. And in theory lguest could choose a different value. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-12-30virtio: Don't use PAGE_SIZE in virtio_pci.cRusty Russell
The virtio PCI devices don't depend on the guest page size. This matters now PowerPC virtio is gaining ground (they like 64k pages). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2008-12-25libcrc32c: Add crc32c_le macroHerbert Xu
The bnx2x driver actually uses the crc32c_le name so this patch restores the crc32c_le symbol through a macro. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25libcrc32c: Move implementation to crypto crc32cHerbert Xu
This patch swaps the role of libcrc32c and crc32c. Previously the implementation was in libcrc32c and crc32c was a wrapper. Now the code is in crc32c and libcrc32c just calls the crypto layer. The reason for the change is to tap into the algorithm selection capability of the crypto API so that optimised implementations such as the one utilising Intel's CRC32C instruction can be used where available. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25crypto: hash - Export shash through hashHerbert Xu
This patch allows shash algorithms to be used through the old hash interface. This is a transitional measure so we can convert the underlying algorithms to shash before converting the users across. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25crypto: hash - Add import/export interfaceHerbert Xu
It is often useful to save the partial state of a hash function so that it can be used as a base for two or more computations. The most prominent example is HMAC where all hashes start from a base determined by the key. Having an import/export interface means that we only have to compute that base once rather than for each message. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25crypto: hash - Export shash through ahashHerbert Xu
This patch allows shash algorithms to be used through the ahash interface. This is required before we can convert digest algorithms over to shash. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25crypto: hash - Add shash interfaceHerbert Xu
The shash interface replaces the current synchronous hash interface. It improves over hash in two ways. Firstly shash is reentrant, meaning that the same tfm may be used by two threads simultaneously as all hashing state is stored in a local descriptor. The other enhancement is that shash no longer takes scatter list entries. This is because shash is specifically designed for synchronous algorithms and as such scatter lists are unnecessary. All existing hash users will be converted to shash once the algorithms have been completely converted. There is also a new finup function that combines update with final. This will be extended to ahash once the algorithm conversion is done. This is also the first time that an algorithm type has their own registration function. Existing algorithm types will be converted to this way in due course. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25crypto: api - Rebirth of crypto_alloc_tfmHerbert Xu
This patch reintroduces a completely revamped crypto_alloc_tfm. The biggest change is that we now take two crypto_type objects when allocating a tfm, a frontend and a backend. In fact this simply formalises what we've been doing behind the API's back. For example, as it stands crypto_alloc_ahash may use an actual ahash algorithm or a crypto_hash algorithm. Putting this in the API allows us to do this much more cleanly. The existing types will be converted across gradually. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25crypto: api - Move type exit function into crypto_tfmHerbert Xu
The type exit function needs to undo any allocations done by the type init function. However, the type init function may differ depending on the upper-level type of the transform (e.g., a crypto_blkcipher instantiated as a crypto_ablkcipher). So we need to move the exit function out of the lower-level structure and into crypto_tfm itself. As it stands this is a no-op since nobody uses exit functions at all. However, all cases where a lower-level type is instantiated as a different upper-level type (such as blkcipher as ablkcipher) will be converted such that they allocate the underlying transform and use that instead of casting (e.g., crypto_ablkcipher casted into crypto_blkcipher). That will need to use a different exit function depending on the upper-level type. This patch also allows the type init/exit functions to call (or not) cra_init/cra_exit instead of always calling them from the top level. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
