This series upgrades the Poly1305 and ChaCha functions to use size_t
lengths, matching the rest of the crypto library.
It also fixes the (not currently reached) handling of lengths above
S32_MAX bytes, and (not currently known to matter in practice) the
assembly functions depending on unspecified high register bits.
This more comprehensively addresses the issues identified in
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20261012-libcrypto-4gib-lengths-v1-0-ea566c129a2e@genproof.com
This series is targeting libcrypto-next.

Upgrade the Poly1305 functions from 32-bit lengths to size_t.
'size_t' is the best practice for buffer lengths, and it's what the rest
of the crypto library uses.
Moreover, all the Poly1305 assembly functions actually already treated
the length as size_t, despite it being declared as 32-bit on the 64-bit
architectures arm64, mips64, ppc64, and riscv64:
- On arm64, this caused unspecified behavior due to the high 32 bits
having an unspecified value in that architecture's ABI. However, in
practice these bits are always zero and no issue occurred. (ppc64 was
fine too, since there the ABI zero-extends 32-bit arguments.)
- On mips64 and riscv64, this caused incorrect behavior on lengths above
S32_MAX, due to the sign extension done by those architectures' ABIs.
Note that no current callers pass lengths over S32_MAX.
Also, the expression 'desc->buflen + nbytes >= POLY1305_BLOCK_SIZE' in
poly1305_update() could overflow if nbytes was in [UINT_MAX - 14,
UINT_MAX]. Note that again, no current callers pass lengths this large.
These issues date to the original introduction of the Poly1305 code.
However, as noted above, they don't have any real-world impact
currently; so this is an API robustness improvement only.

Upgrade the Poly1305 functions from 32-bit lengths to size_t.
'size_t' is the best practice for buffer lengths, and it's what the rest
of the crypto library uses.
Moreover, all the Poly1305 assembly functions actually already treated
the length as size_t, despite it being declared as 32-bit on the 64-bit
architectures arm64, mips64, ppc64, and riscv64:
- On arm64, this caused unspecified behavior due to the high 32 bits
having an unspecified value in that architecture's ABI. However, in
practice these bits are always zero and no issue occurred. (ppc64 was
fine too, since there the ABI zero-extends 32-bit arguments.)
- On mips64 and riscv64, this caused incorrect behavior on lengths above
S32_MAX, due to the sign extension done by those architectures' ABIs.
Note that no current callers pass lengths over S32_MAX.
Also, the expression 'desc->buflen + nbytes >= POLY1305_BLOCK_SIZE' in
poly1305_update() could overflow if nbytes was in [UINT_MAX - 14,
UINT_MAX]. Note that again, no current callers pass lengths this large.
These issues date to the original introduction of the Poly1305 code.
However, as noted above, they don't have any real-world impact
currently; so this is an API robustness improvement only.

* [PATCH 2/2] lib/crypto: chacha: Use size_t length

Upgrade the ChaCha functions from 32-bit lengths to size_t.
'size_t' is the best practice for buffer lengths, and it's what the rest
of the crypto library uses.
Moreover, all the ChaCha assembly functions actually already treated the
length as size_t, despite it being declared as 32-bit on the 64-bit
architectures arm64, ppc64, and x86_64. For arm64 and x86_64, this
caused unspecified behavior due to the high 32 bits of the corresponding
register having an unspecified value in those architectures' ABIs.
However, in practice these bits are always zero and no issue occurred.
(ppc64 was fine too, since there the ABI zero-extends 32-bit arguments.)
These issues date to the original introduction of the ChaCha code.
However, as noted above, they don't have any real-world impact
currently; so this is an API robustness improvement only.

* [PATCH 2/2] lib/crypto: chacha: Use size_t length

Upgrade the ChaCha functions from 32-bit lengths to size_t.
'size_t' is the best practice for buffer lengths, and it's what the rest
of the crypto library uses.
Moreover, all the ChaCha assembly functions actually already treated the
length as size_t, despite it being declared as 32-bit on the 64-bit
architectures arm64, ppc64, and x86_64. For arm64 and x86_64, this
caused unspecified behavior due to the high 32 bits of the corresponding
register having an unspecified value in those architectures' ABIs.
However, in practice these bits are always zero and no issue occurred.
(ppc64 was fine too, since there the ABI zero-extends 32-bit arguments.)
These issues date to the original introduction of the ChaCha code.
However, as noted above, they don't have any real-world impact
currently; so this is an API robustness improvement only.

Hi Eric,
Sorry for not replying to your question on v1. I was already reworking
the series in that direction and should have told you.
Thanks for doing this. I tested your two patches with the lib/crypto
KUnit tests in QEMU on x86_64, i386, arm, arm64, powerpc64le, riscv64,
mips, mips64, s390x and UML, plus temporary tests with buffers over
2 GiB and 4 GiB. Everything passed, except for two things that fail the
same way without your patches: the POWER10 Poly1305 interrupt context
tests (I force-enabled that code, which depends on BROKEN), and two
Poly1305 tests that crash under QEMU with AVX2 because of a QEMU bug.
Tested-by: Vladimir Kukharenko <vladimir@genproof.com>
One gap remains on 32-bit arm and MIPS: the ChaCha assembly there
treats the length as signed, and size_t is 32 bits, so lengths of 2 GiB
or more are still handled incorrectly. On a Cortex-A7, which always
uses the scalar code, a 2 GiB + 4101 byte in-place chacha20_crypt()
changed only one byte.
As a suggestion, I've sent two small fixes on top of your series:
- arm: use unsigned conditions in chacha-scalar-core.S, and
DIV_ROUND_UP_POW2() for the block count, since DIV_ROUND_UP() wraps
above 0xffffffc0.
- MIPS: the partial block code also relies on the sign of the remaining
length, so a small C chacha_crypt_arch() passes the assembly at most
1 GiB at a time.
Feel free to fold them into your series or handle it differently.
Thanks,
Vladimir Kukharenko
