commit009b30ac74upstream. The kernel self-tests picked up an issue with CTR mode: alg: skcipher: p8_aes_ctr encryption test failed (wrong result) on test vector 3, cfg="uneven misaligned splits, may sleep" Test vector 3 has an IV of FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFD, so after 3 increments it should wrap around to 0. In the aesp8-ppc code from OpenSSL, there are two paths that increment IVs: the bulk (8 at a time) path, and the individual path which is used when there are fewer than 8 AES blocks to process. In the bulk path, the IV is incremented with vadduqm: "Vector Add Unsigned Quadword Modulo", which does 128-bit addition. In the individual path, however, the IV is incremented with vadduwm: "Vector Add Unsigned Word Modulo", which instead does 4 32-bit additions. Thus the IV would instead become FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF00000000, throwing off the result. Use vadduqm. This was probably a typo originally, what with q and w being adjacent. It is a pretty narrow edge case: I am really impressed by the quality of the kernel self-tests!

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
