jhb ddcef18974 Refactor driver and consumer interfaces for OCF (in-kernel crypto).
- 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:

  - cryptodev
  - IPsec
  - ktls_ocf
  - GELI (lightly)

  I have not tested the following:

  - ccp
  - aesni with sha
  - hifn
  - kgssapi_krb5
  - ubsec
  - padlock
  - safe
  - armv8_crypto (aarch64)
  - glxsb (i386)
  - sec (ppc)
  - cesa (armv7)
  - cryptocteon (mips64)
  - nlmsec (mips64)

.Sh NAME
.Nm crypto_asym
.Nd asymmetric cryptographic operations
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In opencrypto/cryptodev.h
.Ft int
.Fn crypto_kdispatch "struct cryptkop *krp"
.Ft void
.Fn crypto_kdone "struct cryptkop *krp"
.Ft int
.Fn crypto_kregister "uint32_t driverid" "int kalg" "uint32_t flags"
.Ft int
.Fn CRYPTODEV_KPROCESS "device_t dev" "struct cryptop *krp" "int flags"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The in-kernel cryptographic kernel framework supports asymmetric
requests (keying requests) in addition to symmetric operations.
There are currently no in-kernel users of these requests,
but applications can make requests of hardware drivers via the
.Pa /dev/crypto
device .
.Pp
Some APIs are shared with the framework's symmetric request support.
This manual describes the APIs and data structures unique to
asymmetric requests.
.Pp
.Ss Request Objects
A request is described by a
.Vt struct cryptkop
containing the following fields:
.Bl -tag -width "krp_callback"
.It Fa krp_op
Operation to perform.
Available operations include
.Dv CRK_MOD_EXP ,
.Dv CRK_MOD_EXP_CRT ,
.Dv CRK_DSA_SIGN ,
.Dv CRK_DSA_VERIFY ,
and
.Dv CRK_DH_COMPUTE_KEY .
.It Fa krp_status
Error status.
Either zero on success,
or an error if an operation fails.
Set by drivers prior to completing a request via
.Fn crypto_kdone .
.It Fa krp_iparams
Count of input parameters.
.It Fa krp_oparams
Count of output parameters.
.It Fa krp_crid
Requested device.
.It Fa krp_hid
Device used to complete the request.
.It Fa krp_param
Array of parameters.
The array contains the input parameters first followed by the output
parameters.
Each parameter is stored as a bignum.
Each bignum is described by a
.Vt struct crparam
containing the following fields:
.Bl -tag -width "crp_nbits"
.It Fa crp_p
Pointer to array of packed bytes.
.It Fa crp_nbits
Size of bignum in bits.
.El
.It Fa krp_callback
Callback function.
This must point to a callback function of type
.Vt void (*)(struct cryptkop *) .
The callback function should inspect
.Fa krp_status
to determine the status of the completed operation.
.El
.Pp
New requests should be initialized to zero before setting fields to
appropriate values.
Once the request has been populated,
it should be passed to
.Fn crypto_kdispatch .
.Pp
.Fn crypto_kdispatch
will choose a device driver to perform the operation described by
.Fa krp
and invoke that driver's
.Fn CRYPTO_KPROCESS
method.
.Ss Driver API
Drivers register support for asymmetric operations by calling
.Fn crypto_kregister
for each supported algorithm.
.Fa driverid
should be the value returned by an earlier call to
.Fn crypto_get_driverid .
.Fa kalg
should list one of the operations that can be set in
.Fa krp_op .
.Fa flags
is a bitmask of zero or more of the following values:
.Bl -tag -width "CRYPTO_ALG_FLAG_RNG_ENABLE"
.It Dv CRYPTO_ALG_FLAG_RNG_ENABLE
Device has a hardware RNG for DH/DSA.
.It Dv CRYPTO_ALG_FLAG_DSA_SHA
Device can compute a SHA digest of a message.
.El
.Pp
Drivers unregister with the framework via
.Fn crypto_unregister_all .
.Pp
Similar to
.Fn CRYPTO_PROCESS ,
.Fn CRYPTO_KPROCESS
should complete the request or schedule it for asynchronous
completion.
If this method is not able to complete a request due to insufficient
resources,
it can defer the request (and future asymmetric requests) by returning
.Dv ERESTART .
Once resources are available,
the driver should invoke
.Fn crypto_unblock
with
.Dv CRYPTO_ASYMQ
to resume processing of asymmetric requests.
.Pp
Once a request is completed,
the driver should set
.Fa krp_status
and then call
.Fn crypto_kdone .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn crypto_kdispatch ,
.Fn crypto_kregister ,
and
.Fn CRYPTODEV_KPROCESS
return zero on success or an error on failure.
