[net-next-2.6 PATCH v6 2/7 RFC] TCPCT part 1b: generate Responder Cookie

[William Allen Simpson <william.allen.simpson@gmail.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 807 bytes --]

Define (missing) hash message size for SHA1.

Define hashing size constants specific to TCP cookies, and add new function.

Maintain global secret values for tcp_cookie_generator().

This is a significantly revised implementation of earlier (15-year-old)
Photuris [RFC-2522] code for the KA9Q cooperative multitasking platform.

Linux RCU technique appears to be well-suited to this application, though
neither of the circular queue items are freed.

These functions will also be used in subsequent patches that implement
additional features.

+ * Primary.  (tcp_secret_generating == tcp_secret_primary)
+ *    Used both for generation and primary verification.
+ *
+ * Retiring.  (tcp_secret_retiring != tcp_secret_secondary)
+ *    Used for verification, until the first failure that can be
+ *    verified by the newer Generating secret.  At that time, this
+ *    cookie's state is changed to Secondary, and the Generating
+ *    cookie's state is changed to Primary.  This is a short-term state,
+ *    typically lasting only one round trip time (RTT).
+ *
+ * Secondary.  (tcp_secret_retiring == tcp_secret_secondary)

+ *    failures.  This state lasts no more than twice the Maximum Segment
