Right now, aesni_cipher_alloc does a bit of special-casing
for CRYPTO_F_IOV, to not do any allocation if the first uio
is large enough for the requested size. While working on ZFS
crypto port, I ran into horrible performance because the code
uses scatter-gather, and many of the times the data to encrypt
was in the second entry. This code looks through the list, and
tries to see if there is a single uio that can contain the
requested data, and, if so, uses that.
This has a slight impact on the current consumers, in that the
check is a little more complicated for the ones that use
CRYPTO_F_IOV -- but none of them meet the criteria for testing
more than one.

- Mark the source buffer for a copyback operation as const in the kernel
API.
- Use const with input-only buffers in crypto ioctl structures used with
/dev/crypto.

for counter mode), and AES-GCM. Both of these modes have been added to
the aesni module.
Included is a set of tests to validate that the software and aesni
module calculate the correct values. These use the NIST KAT test
vectors. To run the test, you will need to install a soon to be
committed port, nist-kat that will install the vectors. Using a port
is necessary as the test vectors are around 25MB.
All the man pages were updated. I have added a new man page, crypto.7,
which includes a description of how to use each mode. All the new modes
and some other AES modes are present. It would be good for someone
else to go through and document the other modes.
A new ioctl was added to support AEAD modes which AES-GCM is one of them.
Without this ioctl, it is not possible to test AEAD modes from userland.
Add a timing safe bcmp for use to compare MACs. Previously we were using
bcmp which could leak timing info and result in the ability to forge
messages.
Add a minor optimization to the aesni module so that single segment
mbufs don't get copied and instead are updated in place. The aesni
module needs to be updated to support blocked IO so segmented mbufs
don't have to be copied.
We require that the IV be specified for all calls for both GCM and ICM.
This is to ensure proper use of these functions.

- Implement CUIO_SKIP() macro which is only responsible for skipping the given
number of bytes from iovec list. This allows to avoid duplicating the same

a consistent interface to h/w and s/w crypto algorithms for use by the
kernel and (for h/w at least) by user-mode apps. Access for user-level
code is through a /dev/crypto device that'll eventually be used by openssl
to (potentially) accelerate many applications. Coming soon is an IPsec
that makes use of this service to accelerate ESP, AH, and IPCOMP protocols.
Included here is the "core" crypto support, /dev/crypto driver, various
crypto algorithms that are not already present in the KAME crypto area,
and support routines used by crypto device drivers.
