Subject: crypto: sha512 - make it work, undo percpu message schedule
From: Alexey Dobriyan <[email protected]>
commit 84e31fdb7c797a7303e0cc295cb9bc8b73fb872d upstream.
commit f9e2bca6c22d75a289a349f869701214d63b5060
aka "crypto: sha512 - Move message schedule W[80] to static percpu area"
created global message schedule area.
If sha512_update will ever be entered twice, hash will be silently
calculated incorrectly.
Probably the easiest way to notice incorrect hashes being calculated is
to run 2 ping floods over AH with hmac(sha512):
#!/usr/sbin/setkey -f
flush;
spdflush;
add IP1 IP2 ah 25 -A hmac-sha512
0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000025;
add IP2 IP1 ah 52 -A hmac-sha512
0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000052;
spdadd IP1 IP2 any -P out ipsec ah/transport//require;
spdadd IP2 IP1 any -P in ipsec ah/transport//require;
XfrmInStateProtoError will start ticking with -EBADMSG being returned
from ah_input(). This never happens with, say, hmac(sha1).
With patch applied (on BOTH sides), XfrmInStateProtoError does not tick
with multiple bidirectional ping flood streams like it doesn't tick
with SHA-1.
After this patch sha512_transform() will start using ~750 bytes of stack on
x86_64.
This is OK for simple loads, for something more heavy, stack reduction will be
done
separatedly.
