crypto: aes - Add CCM support using library

2026-07-22T19:01:21+00:00

Implement the "ccm(aes)" crypto_aead algorithm using the corresponding library functions. Among other benefits, this allows the architecture-optimized AES-CCM code to be migrated into the library while still leaving it accessible via crypto_aead, eliminating lots of boilerplate code. For now the cra_priority is set to just 110, since the architecture-optimized implementations of this algorithm haven't yet been migrated into the library. It will be boosted once that happens.

Implement the "gcm(aes)" and "rfc4106(gcm(aes))" crypto_aead algorithms using the corresponding library functions. Among other benefits, this allows the architecture-optimized AES-GCM code to be migrated into the library while still leaving it accessible via crypto_aead, eliminating lots of boilerplate code.

crypto: aes - Add XTS support using library

2026-07-22T19:01:21+00:00

Implement the "xts(aes)" crypto_skcipher algorithm using the corresponding library functions. Among other benefits, this allows the architecture-optimized AES-XTS code to be migrated into the library while still leaving it accessible via crypto_skcipher, eliminating lots of boilerplate code. Fast paths similar to what x86_64 uses (to eliminate the scatterlist walking overhead) are included. So we'll get that optimization for all architectures. For now the cra_priority is set to just 110, since the architecture-optimized implementations of this algorithm haven't yet been migrated into the library. It will be boosted once that happens.

crypto: aes - Fix conditions for selecting MAC dependencies

2026-07-09T15:06:22+00:00

Starting in commit 7137cbf2b5c9 ("crypto: aes - Add cmac, xcbc, and cbcmac algorithms using library"), the aes module (CRYPTO_AES) supports CBC based MACs using the corresponding library functions. To avoid including unneeded functionality, that support honors the existing CRYPTO_CMAC, CRYPTO_XCBC, and CRYPTO_CCM kconfig options. The dependencies are selected if at least one of those is enabled. However, the select statements don't correctly handle the case where CRYPTO_AES=y and (for example) CRYPTO_CMAC=m. In that case the dependencies get selected at level 'm', due to how the kconfig language works. That causes a linker error. Fix this by changing the selection conditions to use '!= n'. A similar issue also exists for CRYPTO_LIB_AES's conditional selection of CRYPTO_LIB_UTILS. The same '!= n' would work, but instead just make CRYPTO_LIB_AES always select CRYPTO_LIB_UTILS. CRYPTO_LIB_UTILS is lightweight, and it's needed by most AES modes and many other things.

Merge tag 'net-next-7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

2026-06-17T07:17:00+00:00

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Work on removing rtnl_lock protection throughout the stack continues. In this chapter: - don't use rtnl_lock for IPv6 multicast routing configuration - don't take rtnl_lock in ethtool for modern drivers - prepare Qdisc dump callbacks for rtnl_lock removal - Support dumping just ifindex + name of all interfaces, under RCU. It's a common operation for Netlink CLI tools (when translating names to ifindexes) and previously required full rtnl_lock. - Support dumping qdiscs and page pools for a specific netdev. Even tho user space wants a dump of all netdevs, most of the time, the OOO programming model results in repeating the dump for each netdev. Which, in absence of a cache, leads to a O(n^2) behavior. - Flush nexthops once on multi-nexthop removal (e.g. when device goes down), another O(n^2) -> O(n) improvement. - Rehash locally generated traffic to a different nexthop on retransmit timeout. - Honor oif when choosing nexthop for locally generated IPv6 traffic. - Convert TCP Auth Option to crypto library, and drop non-RFC algos. - Increase subflow limits in MPTCP to 64 and endpoint limit to 256. - Support MPTCP signaling of IPv6 address + port (ADD_ADDR). We need to selectively skip reporting of the standard TCP Timestamp option, because they won't fit into the header space together (12 + 30 > 40). - Support using bridge neighbor suppression, Duplicate Address Detection, Gratuitous ARP and unsolicited NA forwarding - in EVPN deployments, e.g. VXLAN fabrics (IPv4 and IPv6). - Improve link state reporting for upper netdevs (e.g. macvlan) over tunnel devices (again, mostly for EVPN deployments). - Support binding GENEVE tunnels to a local address. - Speed up UDP tunnel destruction (remove one synchronize_rcu()). - Support exponential field encoding in multicast (IGMPv3 and MLDv2). - Support attaching PSP crypto offload to containers (veth, netkit). - Add a new IPSec Netlink message XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE that allows migrating individual IPsec SAs independently of their policies. The existing XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE is tightly coupled to policy+SA migration, lacks SPI for unique SA identification, and cannot express reqid changes or migrate Transport mode selectors. The new interface identifies the SA via SPI and mark, supports reqid changes, address family changes, encap removal, and uses an atomic create+install flow under x->lock to prevent SN/IV reuse during AEAD SA migration. - Implement GRO/GSO support for PPPoE. - Convert sockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter. Cross-tree stuff: - Remove support for Crypto TFM cloning (unblocked after the TCP Auth Option rework). This feature regressed performance for all crypto API users, since it changed crypto transformation objects into reference-counted objects. - Add FCrypt-PCBC implementation to rxrpc and remove it from the global crypto API as obsolete and insecure. Wireless: - Major rework of station bandwidth handling, fixing issues with lower capability than AP. - Cleanups for EMLSR spec issues (drafts differed). - More Neighbor Awareness Networking (Wi-Fi Aware) work (multicast, schedule improvements, multi-station etc.) - Some Ultra High Reliability (UHR) / IEEE 802.11bn (D1.4) work (e.g. non-primary channel access, UHR DBE support). - Fine Timing Measurement ranging (i.e. distance measurement) APIs. Netfilter: - Use per-rule hash initval in nf_conncount. This avoids unnecessary lock contention with short keys (e.g. conntrack zones) in different namespaces. - Various safety improvements, both in packet parsing and object lifetimes. Notably add refcounts to conntrack timeout policy. Deletions: - Remove TLS + sockmap integration. TLS wants to pin user pages to avoid a copy, and sockmap wants to write to the input stream. More work on this integration is clearly needed, and we can't find any users (original author admitted that they never deployed it). - Remove support for TLS offload with TCP Offload Engine (the far more common opportunistic offload is retained). The locking looks unfixable (driver sleeps under TCP spin locks) and people from the vendor that added this are AWOL. - Remove more ATM code, trying to leave behind only what PPPoATM needs, AAL5 and br2684 with permanent circuits. - Remove AppleTalk. Let it join hamradio in our out of tree protocol graveyard, I mean, repository. - Disable 32-bit x_tables compatibility (32bit binaries on 64bit kernel) interface in user namespaces. To be deleted completely, soon. - Remove 5/10 MHz support from cfg80211/mac80211. Drivers: - Software: - Support DEVMEM/DMABUF Tx over NETMEM_TX_NO_DMA devices (netkit) - bonding: add knob to strictly follow 802.3ad for link state - New drivers: - Alibaba Elastic Ethernet Adaptor (cloud vNIC). - NXP NETC switch within i.MX94. - DPLL: - Add operational state to pins (implement in zl3073x). - Add generic DPLL type, for daisy-chaining DPLLs (implement in ice). - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Huawei (hinic3): - enhance tc flow offload support with queue selection, tunnels - nVidia/Mellanox: - avoid over-copying payload to the skb's linear part (up to 60% win for LRO on slow CPUs like ARM64 V2) - expose more per-queue stats over the standard API - support additional, unprivileged PFs in the DPU configuration - support Socket Direct (multi-PF) with switchdev offloads - add a pool / frag allocator for DMA mapped buffers for control objects, save memory on systems with 64kB page size - take advantage of the ability to dynamically change RSS table size, even when table is configured by the user - increase the max RSS table size for even traffic distribution - Ethernet NICs: - Marvell/Aquantia: - AQC113 PTP support - Realtek USB (r8152): - support 10Gbit Link Speeds and Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) - support firmware loaded (for RTL8157/RTL8159) - support for the RTL8159 - Intel (ixgbe): - support Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) on E610 devices - Ethernet switches: - Airoha: - support multiple netdevs on a single GDM block / port - Marvell (mv88e6xxx): - support SERDES of mv88e6321 - Microchip (ksz8/9): - rework the driver callbacks to remove one indirection layer - Motorcomm (yt921x): - support port rate policing - support TBF qdisc offload - support ACL/flower offload - nVidia/Mellanox: - expose per-PG rx_discards - Realtek: - rtl8365mb: bridge offloading and VLAN support - Ethernet PHYs: - Airoha: - support Airoha AN8801R Gigabit PHYs. - Micrel: - implement 3 low-loss cable tunables - Realtek: - support MDI swapping for RTL8226-CG - support MDIO for RTL931x - Qualcomm: - at803x: Rx and Tx clock management for IPQ5018 PHY - Motorcomm: - support YT8522 100M RMII PHY - set drive strength in YT8531s RGMII - TI: - dp83822: add optional external PHY clock - Bluetooth: - hci_sync: add support for HCI_LE_Set_Host_Feature [v2] - SMP: use AES-CMAC library API - Intel: - support Product level reset - support smart trigger dump - Mediatek: - add event filter to filter specific event - Realtek: - fix RTL8761B/BU broken LE extended scan - WiFi: - Broadcom (b43): - new support for a 11n device - MediaTek (mt76): - support mt7927 - mt792x: broken usb transport detection - mt7921: regulatory improvements - Qualcomm (ath9k): - GPIO interface improvements - Qualcomm (ath12k): - WDS support - replace dynamic memory allocation in WMI Rx path - thermal throttling/cooling device support - 6 GHz incumbent interference detection - channel 177 in 5 GHz - Realtek (rt89): - RTL8922AU support - USB 3 mode switch for performance - better monitor radiotap support - RTL8922DE preparations" * tag 'net-next-7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1778 commits) ipv4: fib_rule: Move fib4_rules_exit() to ->exit(). net: serialize netif_running() check in enqueue_to_backlog() net: skmsg: preserve sg.copy across SG transforms appletalk: move the protocol out of tree appletalk: stop storing per-interface state in struct net_device selftests/bpf: test that TLS crypto is rejected on a sockmap socket selftests/bpf: drop the unused kTLS program from test_sockmap selftests/bpf: remove sockmap + ktls tests tls: remove dead sockmap (psock) handling from the SW path tls: reject the combination of TLS and sockmap atm: remove orphaned uAPI for deleted drivers, protocols and SVCs atm: remove unused ATM PHY operations atm: remove the unused pre_send and send_bh device operations atm: remove the unused change_qos device operation atm: remove SVC socket support and the signaling daemon interface atm: remove the local ATM (NSAP) address registry atm: remove dead SONET PHY ioctls atm: remove the unused send_oam / push_oam callbacks atm: remove AAL3/4 transport support net: dsa: sja1105: fix lastused timestamp in flower stats ...

crypto: xilinx-trng - Replace crypto_drbg_ctr_df() with HMAC-SHA512

2026-06-11T06:03:13+00:00

This code is just trying to condition 48 bytes of random data. This can be done easily using HKDF-SHA512-Extract, saving 300 lines of code. This commit also fixes forward security (in this particular case) by clearing the entropy from memory after it's used. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: pcbc - Remove support for PCBC mode

2026-06-10T00:03:03+00:00

The only user of PCBC mode (Propagating Cipher Block Chaining mode) was net/rxrpc/rxkad.c, which now uses local code instead. While PCBC was an interesting cryptographic experiment, it has largely been relegated to the history books and academic exercises. It is non-parallelizable (i.e., very slow) and doesn't actually achieve the integrity properties it was apparently intended to achieve. Remove support for it from the crypto API.
