Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Trivial set of FIPS 140-3 related changes

Hi all,

these four rather unrelated patches are basically a dump of some of the
more trivial changes required for working towards FIPS 140-3 conformance.

Please pick as you deem appropriate.

Thanks!

Nicolai

Nicolai Stange (4):
crypto: xts - restrict key lengths to approved values in FIPS mode
crypto: testmgr - disallow plain cbcmac(aes) in FIPS mode
crypto: testmgr - disallow plain ghash in FIPS mode
crypto: testmgr - allow ecdsa-nist-p256 and -p384 in FIPS mode

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] crypto: testmgr - allow ecdsa-nist-p256 and -p384 in FIPS mode

The kernel provides implementations of the NIST ECDSA signature
verification primitives. For key sizes of 256 and 384 bits respectively
they are approved and can be enabled in FIPS mode. Do so.

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] crypto: testmgr - disallow plain ghash in FIPS mode

ghash may be used only as part of the gcm(aes) construction in FIPS
mode. Since commit d6097b8d5d55 ("crypto: api - allow algs only in specific
constructions in FIPS mode") there's support for using spawns which by
itself are marked as non-approved from approved template instantiations.
So simply mark plain ghash as non-approved in testmgr to block any attempts
of direct instantiations in FIPS mode.

Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/4] Trivial set of FIPS 140-3 related changes

Hi Nicolai, Robert, Herbert, all,

I would like to revive this older upstream email thread. I would like
to address notes from reviewers (namely, Robert) by additional patches
so the whole patchset can be accepted. This should ease our future
kernel work re: FIPS.

The below 2 patches address (I hope) both notes Robert and Herbert have
provided (thanks!). I hope the whole patchset can be accepted then.

Logically my 2 patches should follow [PATCH 1/4] and be patches 2 and 3.
Herbert is it possible to reorder them when accepting?

Thank you! and

Best regards,
Vladis

crypto: xts - drop xts_check_key()

Subject: [PATCH 5/6] crypto: xts - drop xts_check_key()

xts_check_key() is obsoleted by xts_verify_key(). Over time XTS crypto
drivers adopted the newer xts_verify_key() variant, but xts_check_key()
is still used by a number of drivers. Switch drivers to use the newer
xts_verify_key() and make a couple of cleanups. This allows us to drop
xts_check_key() completely and avoid redundancy.

Subject: [PATCH 6/6] crypto: xts - drop redundant xts key check

xts_fallback_setkey() in xts_aes_set_key() will now enforce key size
rule in FIPS mode when setting up the fallback algorithm keys, which
makes the check in xts_aes_set_key() redundant or unreachable. So just
drop this check.

xts_fallback_setkey() now makes a key size check in xts_verify_key():

xts_fallback_setkey()
crypto_skcipher_setkey() [ skcipher_setkey_unaligned() ]
cipher->setkey() { .setkey = xts_setkey }
xts_setkey()
xts_verify_key()

Please just resend the whole series, with the --base option to git format-patch
used, so that reviewers don't have to try to piece it together.
