- Add a new TCP_RXTLS_ENABLE socket option to set the encryption and
authentication algorithms and keys as well as the initial sequence
number.
- When reading from a socket using KTLS receive, applications must use
recvmsg(). Each successful call to recvmsg() will return a single
TLS record. A new TCP control message, TLS_GET_RECORD, will contain
the TLS record header of the decrypted record. The regular message
buffer passed to recvmsg() will receive the decrypted payload. This
is similar to the interface used by Linux's KTLS RX except that
Linux does not return the full TLS header in the control message.
- Add plumbing to the TOE KTLS interface to request either transmit
or receive KTLS sessions.
- When a socket is using receive KTLS, redirect reads from
soreceive_stream() into soreceive_generic().
- Note that this interface is currently only defined for TLS 1.1 and
1.2, though I believe we will be able to reuse the same interface
and structures for 1.3.

This driver hasn't been relevant in almost 15 years. It was for a product on the
shelves for about 6 months in 2003/2004. I've not updated the driver since then,
and have had nobody talk to me about it since maybe 2006 or 2007. It doesn't
implement a standard interface, and can be better done with libusb. All the
action has moved to webcamd for newer, more fully featured hardware. It makes no

- The linked list of cryptoini structures used in session
initialization is replaced with a new flat structure: struct
crypto_session_params. This session includes a new mode to define
how the other fields should be interpreted. Available modes
include:
- COMPRESS (for compression/decompression)
- CIPHER (for simply encryption/decryption)
- DIGEST (computing and verifying digests)
- AEAD (combined auth and encryption such as AES-GCM and AES-CCM)
- ETA (combined auth and encryption using encrypt-then-authenticate)
Additional modes could be added in the future (e.g. if we wanted to
support TLS MtE for AES-CBC in the kernel we could add a new mode
for that. TLS modes might also affect how AAD is interpreted, etc.)
The flat structure also includes the key lengths and algorithms as
before. However, code doesn't have to walk the linked list and
switch on the algorithm to determine which key is the auth key vs
encryption key. The 'csp_auth_*' fields are always used for auth
keys and settings and 'csp_cipher_*' for cipher. (Compression
algorithms are stored in csp_cipher_alg.)
- Drivers no longer register a list of supported algorithms. This
doesn't quite work when you factor in modes (e.g. a driver might
support both AES-CBC and SHA2-256-HMAC separately but not combined
for ETA). Instead, a new 'crypto_probesession' method has been
added to the kobj interface for symmteric crypto drivers. This
method returns a negative value on success (similar to how
device_probe works) and the crypto framework uses this value to pick
the "best" driver. There are three constants for hardware
(e.g. ccr), accelerated software (e.g. aesni), and plain software
(cryptosoft) that give preference in that order. One effect of this
is that if you request only hardware when creating a new session,
you will no longer get a session using accelerated software.
Another effect is that the default setting to disallow software
crypto via /dev/crypto now disables accelerated software.
Once a driver is chosen, 'crypto_newsession' is invoked as before.
- Crypto operations are now solely described by the flat 'cryptop'
structure. The linked list of descriptors has been removed.
A separate enum has been added to describe the type of data buffer
in use instead of using CRYPTO_F_* flags to make it easier to add
more types in the future if needed (e.g. wired userspace buffers for
zero-copy). It will also make it easier to re-introduce separate
input and output buffers (in-kernel TLS would benefit from this).
Try to make the flags related to IV handling less insane:
- CRYPTO_F_IV_SEPARATE means that the IV is stored in the 'crp_iv'
member of the operation structure. If this flag is not set, the
IV is stored in the data buffer at the 'crp_iv_start' offset.
- CRYPTO_F_IV_GENERATE means that a random IV should be generated
and stored into the data buffer. This cannot be used with
CRYPTO_F_IV_SEPARATE.
If a consumer wants to deal with explicit vs implicit IVs, etc. it
can always generate the IV however it needs and store partial IVs in
the buffer and the full IV/nonce in crp_iv and set
CRYPTO_F_IV_SEPARATE.
The layout of the buffer is now described via fields in cryptop.
crp_aad_start and crp_aad_length define the boundaries of any AAD.
Previously with GCM and CCM you defined an auth crd with this range,
but for ETA your auth crd had to span both the AAD and plaintext
(and they had to be adjacent).
crp_payload_start and crp_payload_length define the boundaries of
the plaintext/ciphertext. Modes that only do a single operation
(COMPRESS, CIPHER, DIGEST) should only use this region and leave the
AAD region empty.
If a digest is present (or should be generated), it's starting
location is marked by crp_digest_start.
Instead of using the CRD_F_ENCRYPT flag to determine the direction
of the operation, cryptop now includes an 'op' field defining the
operation to perform. For digests I've added a new VERIFY digest
mode which assumes a digest is present in the input and fails the
request with EBADMSG if it doesn't match the internally-computed
digest. GCM and CCM already assumed this, and the new AEAD mode
requires this for decryption. The new ETA mode now also requires
this for decryption, so IPsec and GELI no longer do their own
authentication verification. Simple DIGEST operations can also do
this, though there are no in-tree consumers.
To eventually support some refcounting to close races, the session
cookie is now passed to crypto_getop() and clients should no longer
set crp_sesssion directly.
- Assymteric crypto operation structures should be allocated via
crypto_getkreq() and freed via crypto_freekreq(). This permits the
crypto layer to track open asym requests and close races with a
driver trying to unregister while asym requests are in flight.
- crypto_copyback, crypto_copydata, crypto_apply, and
crypto_contiguous_subsegment now accept the 'crp' object as the
first parameter instead of individual members. This makes it easier
to deal with different buffer types in the future as well as
separate input and output buffers. It's also simpler for driver
writers to use.
- bus_dmamap_load_crp() loads a DMA mapping for a crypto buffer.
This understands the various types of buffers so that drivers that
use DMA do not have to be aware of different buffer types.
- Helper routines now exist to build an auth context for HMAC IPAD
and OPAD. This reduces some duplicated work among drivers.
- Key buffers are now treated as const throughout the framework and in
device drivers. However, session key buffers provided when a session
is created are expected to remain alive for the duration of the
session.
- GCM and CCM sessions now only specify a cipher algorithm and a cipher
key. The redundant auth information is not needed or used.
- For cryptosoft, split up the code a bit such that the 'process'
callback now invokes a function pointer in the session. This
function pointer is set based on the mode (in effect) though it
simplifies a few edge cases that would otherwise be in the switch in
'process'.
It does split up GCM vs CCM which I think is more readable even if there
is some duplication.
- I changed /dev/crypto to support GMAC requests using CRYPTO_AES_NIST_GMAC
as an auth algorithm and updated cryptocheck to work with it.
- Combined cipher and auth sessions via /dev/crypto now always use ETA
mode. The COP_F_CIPHER_FIRST flag is now a no-op that is ignored.
This was actually documented as being true in crypto(4) before, but
the code had not implemented this before I added the CIPHER_FIRST
flag.
- I have not yet updated /dev/crypto to be aware of explicit modes for
sessions. I will probably do that at some point in the future as well
as teach it about IV/nonce and tag lengths for AEAD so we can support
all of the NIST KAT tests for GCM and CCM.
- I've split up the exising crypto.9 manpage into several pages
of which many are written from scratch.
- I have converted all drivers and consumers in the tree and verified
that they compile, but I have not tested all of them. I have tested
the following drivers:
- cryptosoft
- aesni (AES only)
- blake2
- ccr
and the following consumers:

ACPI Control Method Batteries have a _BIF and/or _BIX object which
provide static properties of the battery. FreeBSD acpi_cmbat module
supported _BIF object only, which was deprecated as of ACPI 4.0.
_BIX is an extended version of _BIF defined in ACPI 4.0 or later.
As of writing, _BIX has two revisions. One is in ACPI 4.0 (rev.0) and
another is in ACPI 6.0 (rev.1). It seems that hardware vendors still
stick to _BIF only or _BIX rev.0 + _BIF for the maximum compatibility.
Microsoft requires _BIX rev.0 for Windows machines, so there are some
laptop machines with _BIX rev.0 only. In this case, FreeBSD does not
recognize the battery information.
After this change, the acpi_cmbat module gets battery information from
_BIX or _BIF object and internally uses _BIX rev.1 data structure as
the primary information store in the kernel. ACPIIO_BATT_GET_BI[FX]
returns an acpi_bi[fx] structure built by using information obtained
from a _BIF or a _BIX object found on the system. The revision number
field can be used to check which field is available. The acpiconf(8)
utility will show additional information if _BIX is available.
Although ABIs of ACPIIO_BATT_* were changed, the existing APIs for
userland utilities are not changed and the backward-compatible ABIs
are provided. This means that older versions of acpiconf(8) can also
work with the new kernel. The (union acpi_battery_ioctl_arg) was
padded to 256 byte long to avoid another ABI change in the future.
A _BIX object with its revision number >1 will be treated as
compatible with the rev.1 _BIX format.

If package-level control is present, we default to using it. Per-core

Add a sysctl knob to allow users to re-enable it, and document the knob and
default in cpufreq.4. (While here, add a few unrelated updates to
cpufreq.4.)
It seems that the register value in some hardware simply reflects the
configured P-state. This results in an inadvertent and unintended outcome
where the P-state can only walk down, and then the driver becomes "stuck" in
the slowest possible P-state.
The Linux driver never consults this register, so that's some evidence that
ignoring the contents are relatively harmless.
