crypto: chacha20-generic - refactor to allow varying number of rounds

2018-11-20T06:26:55Z

In preparation for adding XChaCha12 support, rename/refactor chacha20-generic to support different numbers of rounds. The justification for needing XChaCha12 support is explained in more detail in the patch "crypto: chacha - add XChaCha12 support". The only difference between ChaCha{8,12,20} are the number of rounds itself; all other parts of the algorithm are the same. Therefore, remove the "20" from all definitions, structures, functions, files, etc. that will be shared by all ChaCha versions. Also make ->setkey() store the round count in the chacha_ctx (previously chacha20_ctx). The generic code then passes the round count through to chacha_block(). There will be a ->setkey() function for each explicitly allowed round count; the encrypt/decrypt functions will be the same. I decided not to do it the opposite way (same ->setkey() function for all round counts, with different encrypt/decrypt functions) because that would have required more boilerplate code in architecture-specific implementations of ChaCha and XChaCha.

crypto: chacha20 - Fix chacha20_block() keystream alignment (again)

2018-09-21T05:24:50Z

In commit 9f480faec58c ("crypto: chacha20 - Fix keystream alignment for chacha20_block()"), I had missed that chacha20_block() can be called directly on the buffer passed to get_random_bytes(), which can have any alignment. So, while my commit didn't break anything, it didn't fully solve the alignment problems. Revert my solution and just update chacha20_block() to use put_unaligned_le32(), so the output buffer need not be aligned. This is simpler, and on many CPUs it's the same speed. But, I kept the 'tmp' buffers in extract_crng_user() and _get_random_bytes() 4-byte aligned, since that alignment is actually needed for _crng_backtrack_protect() too.

random: make CPU trust a boot parameter

2018-09-01T16:51:54Z

Instead of forcing a distro or other system builder to choose at build time whether the CPU is trusted for CRNG seeding via CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU, provide a boot-time parameter for end users to control the choice. The CONFIG will set the default state instead. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

random: Make crng state queryable

2018-08-02T21:33:06Z

It is very useful to be able to know whether or not get_random_bytes_wait / wait_for_random_bytes is going to block or not, or whether plain get_random_bytes is going to return good randomness or bad randomness. The particular use case is for mitigating certain attacks in WireGuard. A handshake packet arrives and is queued up. Elsewhere a worker thread takes items from the queue and processes them. In replying to these items, it needs to use some random data, and it has to be good random data. If we simply block until we can have good randomness, then it's possible for an attacker to fill the queue up with packets waiting to be processed. Upon realizing the queue is full, WireGuard will detect that it's under a denial of service attack, and behave accordingly. A better approach is just to drop incoming handshake packets if the crng is not yet initialized. This patch, therefore, makes that information directly accessible. Signed-off-by: Jason A.

random: remove preempt disabled region

2018-07-24T19:44:32Z

No need to keep preemption disabled across the whole function. mix_pool_bytes() uses a spin_lock() to protect the pool and there are other places like write_pool() whhich invoke mix_pool_bytes() without disabling preemption. credit_entropy_bits() is invoked from other places like add_hwgenerator_randomness() without disabling preemption. Before commit 95b709b6be49 ("random: drop trickle mode") the function used __this_cpu_inc_return() which would require disabled preemption. The preempt_disable() section was added in commit 43d5d3018c37 ("[PATCH] random driver preempt robustness", history tree). It was claimed that the code relied on "vt_ioctl() being called under BKL".

random: add a config option to trust the CPU's hwrng

2018-07-24T19:43:24Z

This gives the user building their own kernel (or a Linux distribution) the option of deciding whether or not to trust the CPU's hardware random number generator (e.g., RDRAND for x86 CPU's) as being correctly implemented and not having a back door introduced (perhaps courtesy of a Nation State's law enforcement or intelligence agencies). This will prevent getrandom(2) from blocking, if there is a willingness to trust the CPU manufacturer. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

random: Return nbytes filled from hw RNG

2018-07-18T01:32:48Z

Currently the function get_random_bytes_arch() has return value 'void'. If the hw RNG fails we currently fall back to using get_random_bytes(). This defeats the purpose of requesting random material from the hw RNG in the first place. There are currently no intree users of get_random_bytes_arch(). Only get random bytes from the hw RNG, make function return the number of bytes retrieved from the hw RNG. Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

random: mix rdrand with entropy sent in from userspace

2018-07-18T01:32:36Z

Fedora has integrated the jitter entropy daemon to work around slow boot problems, especially on VM's that don't support virtio-rng: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1572944 It's understandable why they did this, but the Jitter entropy daemon works fundamentally on the principle: "the CPU microarchitecture is **so** complicated and we can't figure it out, so it *must* be random". Yes, it uses statistical tests to "prove" it is secure, but AES_ENCRYPT(NSA_KEY, COUNTER++) will also pass statistical tests with flying colors. So if RDRAND is available, mix it into entropy submitted from userspace. It can't hurt, and if you believe the NSA has backdoored RDRAND, then they probably have enough details about the Intel microarchitecture that they can reverse engineer how the Jitter entropy daemon affects the microarchitecture, and attack its output stream. And if RDRAND is in fact an honest DRNG, it will immeasurably improve on what the Jitter entropy daemon might produce. This also provides some protection against someone who is able to read or set the entropy seed file. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Arnd Bergmann
