Subject: crypto: aes - Fix conditions for selecting MAC dependencies
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e073f1238ecaea366f53e98724c40b31856da56a;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

crypto: aes - Fix conditions for selecting MAC dependencies

Starting in commit 7137cbf2b5c9 ("crypto: aes - Add cmac, xcbc, and
cbcmac algorithms using library"), the aes module (CRYPTO_AES) supports
CBC based MACs using the corresponding library functions.

To avoid including unneeded functionality, that support honors the
existing CRYPTO_CMAC, CRYPTO_XCBC, and CRYPTO_CCM kconfig options.  The
dependencies are selected if at least one of those is enabled.

However, the select statements don't correctly handle the case where
CRYPTO_AES=y and (for example) CRYPTO_CMAC=m.  In that case the
dependencies get selected at level 'm', due to how the kconfig language
works.  That causes a linker error.

Fix this by changing the selection conditions to use '!= n'.

A similar issue also exists for CRYPTO_LIB_AES's conditional selection
of CRYPTO_LIB_UTILS.  The same '!= n' would work, but instead just make
CRYPTO_LIB_AES always select CRYPTO_LIB_UTILS.  CRYPTO_LIB_UTILS is
lightweight, and it's needed by most AES modes and many other things.

Fixes: 7137cbf2b5c9 ("crypto: aes - Add cmac, xcbc, and cbcmac algorithms using library")
Fixes: 309a7e514da7 ("lib/crypto: aes: Add support for CBC-based MACs")
