Subject: [crypto] ansi_cprng: fix inverted DT increment routine
Message-id: 200811241140.17111.jarod@redhat.com
O-Subject: [RHEL5.4 PATCH 2/2] crypto: ansi_cprng: fix inverted DT increment routine
Bugzilla: 471281
RH-Acked-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@redhat.com>

The ANSI X9.31 PRNG docs aren't particularly clear on how to increment DT,
but empirical testing shows we're incrementing from the wrong end. A 10,000
iteration Monte Carlo RNG test currently winds up not getting the expected
result.

>From http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cavp/documents/rng/RNGVS.pdf :

[X9.31]
[AES 128-Key]

COUNT = 0
Key = 9f5b51200bf334b5d82be8c37255c848
DT = 6376bbe52902ba3b67c925fa701f11ac
V = 572c8e76872647977e74fbddc49501d1
R = 48e9bd0d06ee18fbe45790d5c3fc9b73

Currently, we get 0dd08496c4f7178bfa70a2161a79459a after 10000 loops.

Inverting the DT increment routine results in us obtaining the expected result
of 48e9bd0d06ee18fbe45790d5c3fc9b73. Verified on both x86_64 and ppc64.
