crypto: chacha - add XChaCha12 support Now that the generic implementation of ChaCha20 has been refactored to allow varying the number of rounds, add support for XChaCha12, which is the XSalsa construction applied to ChaCha12. ChaCha12 is one of the three ciphers specified by the original ChaCha paper (https://cr.yp.to/chacha/chacha-20080128.pdf: "ChaCha, a variant of Salsa20"), alongside ChaCha8 and ChaCha20. ChaCha12 is faster than ChaCha20 but has a lower, but still large, security margin. We need XChaCha12 support so that it can be used in the Adiantum encryption mode, which enables disk/file encryption on low-end mobile devices where AES-XTS is too slow as the CPUs lack AES instructions. We'd prefer XChaCha20 (the more popular variant), but it's too slow on some of our target devices, so at least in some cases we do need the XChaCha12-based version. In more detail, the problem is that Adiantum is still much slower than we're happy with, and encryption still has a quite noticeable effect on the feel of low-end devices. Users and vendors push back hard against encryption that degrades the user experience, which always risks encryption being disabled entirely. So we need to choose the fastest option that gives us a solid margin of security, and here that's XChaCha12. The best known attack on ChaCha breaks only 7 rounds and has 2^235 time complexity, so ChaCha12's security margin is still better than AES-256's. Much has been learned about cryptanalysis of ARX ciphers since Salsa20 was originally designed in 2005, and it now seems we can be comfortable with a smaller number of rounds. The eSTREAM project also suggests the 12-round version of Salsa20 as providing the best balance among the different variants: combining very good performance with a "comfortable margin of security". Note that it would be trivial to add vanilla ChaCha12 in addition to XChaCha12. However, it's unneeded for now and therefore is omitted. As discussed in the patch that introduced XChaCha20 support, I considered splitting the code into separate chacha-common, chacha20, xchacha20, and xchacha12 modules, so that these algorithms could be enabled/disabled independently. However, since nearly all the code is shared anyway, I ultimately decided there would have been little benefit to the added complexity.

crypto: chacha20-generic - add XChaCha20 support Add support for the XChaCha20 stream cipher. XChaCha20 is the application of the XSalsa20 construction (https://cr.yp.to/snuffle/xsalsa-20081128.pdf) to ChaCha20 rather than to Salsa20. XChaCha20 extends ChaCha20's nonce length from 64 bits (or 96 bits, depending on convention) to 192 bits, while provably retaining ChaCha20's security. XChaCha20 uses the ChaCha20 permutation to map the key and first 128 nonce bits to a 256-bit subkey. Then, it does the ChaCha20 stream cipher with the subkey and remaining 64 bits of nonce. We need XChaCha support in order to add support for the Adiantum encryption mode. Note that to meet our performance requirements, we actually plan to primarily use the variant XChaCha12. But we believe it's wise to first add XChaCha20 as a baseline with a higher security margin, in case there are any situations where it can be used. Supporting both variants is straightforward. Since XChaCha20's subkey differs for each request, XChaCha20 can't be a template that wraps ChaCha20; that would require re-keying the underlying ChaCha20 for every request, which wouldn't be thread-safe. Instead, we make XChaCha20 its own top-level algorithm which calls the ChaCha20 streaming implementation internally. Similar to the existing ChaCha20 implementation, we define the IV to be the nonce and stream position concatenated together. This allows users to seek to any position in the stream. I considered splitting the code into separate chacha20-common, chacha20, and xchacha20 modules, so that chacha20 and xchacha20 could be enabled/disabled independently. However, since nearly all the code is shared anyway, I ultimately decided there would have been little benefit to the added complexity of separate modules.

crypto: chacha-generic - fix use as arm64 no-NEON fallback The arm64 implementations of ChaCha and XChaCha are failing the extra crypto self-tests following my patches to test the !may_use_simd() code paths, which previously were untested. The problem is as follows: When !may_use_simd(), the arm64 NEON implementations fall back to the generic implementation, which uses the skcipher_walk API to iterate through the src/dst scatterlists. Due to how the skcipher_walk API works, walk.stride is set from the skcipher_alg actually being used, which in this case is the arm64 NEON algorithm. Thus walk.stride is 5*CHACHA_BLOCK_SIZE, not CHACHA_BLOCK_SIZE. This unnecessarily large stride shouldn't cause an actual problem. However, the generic implementation computes round_down(nbytes, walk.stride). round_down() assumes the round amount is a power of 2, which 5*CHACHA_BLOCK_SIZE is not, so it gives the wrong result. This causes the following case in skcipher_walk_done() to be hit, causing a WARN() and failing the encryption operation: if (WARN_ON(err)) { /* unexpected case; didn't process all bytes */ err = -EINVAL; goto finish; } Fix it by rounding down to CHACHA_BLOCK_SIZE instead of walk.stride. (Or we could replace round_down() with rounddown(), but that would add a slow division operation every time, which I think we should avoid.)

XChaCha20 extends ChaCha20's nonce length from 64 bits (or 96 bits, depending on convention) to 192 bits, while provably retaining ChaCha20's security. XChaCha20 uses the ChaCha20 permutation to map the key and first 128 nonce bits to a 256-bit subkey. Then, it does the ChaCha20 stream cipher with the subkey and remaining 64 bits of nonce. We need XChaCha support in order to add support for the Adiantum encryption mode. Note that to meet our performance requirements, we actually plan to primarily use the variant XChaCha12. But we believe it's wise to first add XChaCha20 as a baseline with a higher security margin, in case there are any situations where it can be used. Supporting both variants is straightforward. Since XChaCha20's subkey differs for each request, XChaCha20 can't be a template that wraps ChaCha20; that would require re-keying the underlying ChaCha20 for every request, which wouldn't be thread-safe. Instead, we make XChaCha20 its own top-level algorithm which calls the ChaCha20 streaming implementation internally. Similar to the existing ChaCha20 implementation, we define the IV to be the nonce and stream position concatenated together. This allows users to seek to any position in the stream. I considered splitting the code into separate chacha20-common, chacha20, and xchacha20 modules, so that chacha20 and xchacha20 could be enabled/disabled independently. However, since nearly all the code is shared anyway, I ultimately decided there would have been little benefit to the added complexity of separate modules.

crypto: chacha - add XChaCha12 support Now that the generic implementation of ChaCha20 has been refactored to allow varying the number of rounds, add support for XChaCha12, which is the XSalsa construction applied to ChaCha12. ChaCha12 is one of the three ciphers specified by the original ChaCha paper (https://cr.yp.to/chacha/chacha-20080128.pdf: "ChaCha, a variant of Salsa20"), alongside ChaCha8 and ChaCha20. ChaCha12 is faster than ChaCha20 but has a lower, but still large, security margin. We need XChaCha12 support so that it can be used in the Adiantum encryption mode, which enables disk/file encryption on low-end mobile devices where AES-XTS is too slow as the CPUs lack AES instructions. We'd prefer XChaCha20 (the more popular variant), but it's too slow on some of our target devices, so at least in some cases we do need the XChaCha12-based version. In more detail, the problem is that Adiantum is still much slower than we're happy with, and encryption still has a quite noticeable effect on the feel of low-end devices. Users and vendors push back hard against encryption that degrades the user experience, which always risks encryption being disabled entirely. So we need to choose the fastest option that gives us a solid margin of security, and here that's XChaCha12. The best known attack on ChaCha breaks only 7 rounds and has 2^235 time complexity, so ChaCha12's security margin is still better than AES-256's. Much has been learned about cryptanalysis of ARX ciphers since Salsa20 was originally designed in 2005, and it now seems we can be comfortable with a smaller number of rounds. The eSTREAM project also suggests the 12-round version of Salsa20 as providing the best balance among the different variants: combining very good performance with a "comfortable margin of security". Note that it would be trivial to add vanilla ChaCha12 in addition to XChaCha12. However, it's unneeded for now and therefore is omitted. As discussed in the patch that introduced XChaCha20 support, I considered splitting the code into separate chacha-common, chacha20, xchacha20, and xchacha12 modules, so that these algorithms could be enabled/disabled independently. However, since nearly all the code is shared anyway, I ultimately decided there would have been little benefit to the added complexity.

crypto: chacha20-generic - add XChaCha20 support Add support for the XChaCha20 stream cipher. XChaCha20 is the application of the XSalsa20 construction (https://cr.yp.to/snuffle/xsalsa-20081128.pdf) to ChaCha20 rather than to Salsa20. XChaCha20 extends ChaCha20's nonce length from 64 bits (or 96 bits, depending on convention) to 192 bits, while provably retaining ChaCha20's security. XChaCha20 uses the ChaCha20 permutation to map the key and first 128 nonce bits to a 256-bit subkey. Then, it does the ChaCha20 stream cipher with the subkey and remaining 64 bits of nonce. We need XChaCha support in order to add support for the Adiantum encryption mode. Note that to meet our performance requirements, we actually plan to primarily use the variant XChaCha12. But we believe it's wise to first add XChaCha20 as a baseline with a higher security margin, in case there are any situations where it can be used. Supporting both variants is straightforward. Since XChaCha20's subkey differs for each request, XChaCha20 can't be a template that wraps ChaCha20; that would require re-keying the underlying ChaCha20 for every request, which wouldn't be thread-safe. Instead, we make XChaCha20 its own top-level algorithm which calls the ChaCha20 streaming implementation internally. Similar to the existing ChaCha20 implementation, we define the IV to be the nonce and stream position concatenated together. This allows users to seek to any position in the stream. I considered splitting the code into separate chacha20-common, chacha20, and xchacha20 modules, so that chacha20 and xchacha20 could be enabled/disabled independently. However, since nearly all the code is shared anyway, I ultimately decided there would have been little benefit to the added complexity of separate modules.

crypto: chacha - add XChaCha12 support Now that the generic implementation of ChaCha20 has been refactored to allow varying the number of rounds, add support for XChaCha12, which is the XSalsa construction applied to ChaCha12. ChaCha12 is one of the three ciphers specified by the original ChaCha paper (https://cr.yp.to/chacha/chacha-20080128.pdf: "ChaCha, a variant of Salsa20"), alongside ChaCha8 and ChaCha20. ChaCha12 is faster than ChaCha20 but has a lower, but still large, security margin. We need XChaCha12 support so that it can be used in the Adiantum encryption mode, which enables disk/file encryption on low-end mobile devices where AES-XTS is too slow as the CPUs lack AES instructions. We'd prefer XChaCha20 (the more popular variant), but it's too slow on some of our target devices, so at least in some cases we do need the XChaCha12-based version. In more detail, the problem is that Adiantum is still much slower than we're happy with, and encryption still has a quite noticeable effect on the feel of low-end devices. Users and vendors push back hard against encryption that degrades the user experience, which always risks encryption being disabled entirely. So we need to choose the fastest option that gives us a solid margin of security, and here that's XChaCha12. The best known attack on ChaCha breaks only 7 rounds and has 2^235 time complexity, so ChaCha12's security margin is still better than AES-256's. Much has been learned about cryptanalysis of ARX ciphers since Salsa20 was originally designed in 2005, and it now seems we can be comfortable with a smaller number of rounds. The eSTREAM project also suggests the 12-round version of Salsa20 as providing the best balance among the different variants: combining very good performance with a "comfortable margin of security". Note that it would be trivial to add vanilla ChaCha12 in addition to XChaCha12. However, it's unneeded for now and therefore is omitted. As discussed in the patch that introduced XChaCha20 support, I considered splitting the code into separate chacha-common, chacha20, xchacha20, and xchacha12 modules, so that these algorithms could be enabled/disabled independently. However, since nearly all the code is shared anyway, I ultimately decided there would have been little benefit to the added complexity.
