Why not call it RSA_MPI_COUNT then?

Would be nicer if this was enforced by Kconfig. Maybe use ranges or something?
I don't know what's possible with the current build system.

What's wrong with just using 32?

Better to use an int for 'sign', saves type conversions and thus code size.
The structure is padded anyway, so the structure size stays the same.

If you add *n = handle to the end you can get rid of the handle = *n = ...
and also of the *n = NULL;

mpi_init is never called: Get rid of it?

Making 'hold' u8 won't save anything. But to simplify code I would just
get rid of the hold option altogether, and always copy the data over.
When mpi_resize is called with old = false the data is copied over anyway,
so at least the current zeroing isn't very useful (which is also already
done by mpi_alloc).

If you move this check to the front you can get rid of the other handle
checks.

mpi_set() is only called twice with as options:

mpi_set(&aux[5 or 6], "\x01", 1);

So it looks a bit overkill for what it's apparently used
(setting an mpi to 1).

I'm sure it's a useful function to have in a general mpi implementation,
but for now it's contained in the RSA module. If there is demand for a
mpi library, then this can be added an all code moved to lib/mpi.c or
something. But until then, I'd concentrate on things needed for RSA.

Why didn't you use memcpy()? Not that this is wrong,
just wondering.

Why is this returning u8? Just use int. Or maybe better,
just get rid of this function. It's used in two places:

mpi_print: Hardly a need to special case an all zeroes mpi.

mpi_shift: Small chance the mpi is zero, isn't it? Is it really
worth optimising for that case?

mpi_print() isn't called anywhere. Same comments as for mpi_init and mpi_set.

Oh wait, although this is in crypto, it are only mpi helper function required
to implement RSA, but RSA as a crypto module is missing?

I think you should add the glue code to really get a RSA crypto implementation
in the linux/crypto.h sense. If you also want a mpi helper module then don't call
anything in this part RSA and export the functions that are useful on their own.

Can use find_first_bit() instead (And return an int).

Why not just get rid of the complex checks and just always go through the loop?
The loop isn't really less expensive than a mpi_clz() call, and now you do both
most of the time. So just replace the whole size comparison with a simple:

j = min(a->size, b->size);

This looks like it can be done better. What about replacing it with
a memcmp() call?

Ugh, I'd rather replace 'which' with 'twos' or something giving at
least a hint what it means, and the 'u8' with an int.

It's only called with true anyway, so why not get rid of the option?
(And maybe rename the function to mpi_twoscomplement).

Also make all internal functions static. I wouldn't make them inlines though,
the compiler already does that for static functions if it makes sense.

If you change your code to use unsigned longs instead of u32, you can use
all the existing nice bitmap functions, like bitmap_complement, bitmap_empty,
bitmap_shift_right and so on, greatly reducing the amount of code.

Much room for speed improvement here. Interesting to optimise
if it takes a big chunk of CPU time.

Why are you modifying a and b here? Why not leave them alone?

Get rid of the superfluous spaces. And why is borrow u8? make it the same as bbuf[0].

Why not write it out with if/else, combining it with the below check:

Just get rid of 'sum' and use buf[i] directly?

Fine, then make a copy. But why do you also make a copy of 'a'? (Either
expand the comment or don't do it.)

And why oh why do you need to use the ugly global aux[] for that?
I think you can and should get rid of the global aux array, you don't
even have any locking protecting simultaneous use! Same for modinv.

What is this trying to do? It looks like it's calculating the distance
between the highest set bits of aux[0] and aux[1]. For me it's clearer
when doing:

	/* Calculate the distance between the highest set bits */
	k = (aux[0]->size - aux[1]->size) * 32;
	/* Compensate for leading zeroes */
	k -= mpi_clz(aux[0]) - mpi_clz(aux[1]);

No need for the parentheses around *res.

Can avoid the copy by returning the aux[0] pointer and setting aux[0] itself to NULL.

pow1 <<= 1;

Urgh, I'm sure this can be done in a cleaner way, please do so!

y = ~y + 1;?

It shouldn't use the global 'modinv', but get it via a parameter or something.

More fun.

I wonder if breaking this up in separate retval = mpi_* calls and retval checks
makes it cleaner. I suspect it will.

Please just use an int.

I'm no fan of 'true' and 'false' instead of 1 and 0 either, but tastes differ.

What's wrong with doing m^e mod n, with m > n?
Maybe for RSA that can't happen, but in general it should be fine.

And why should the sizes of m and n be the same? If it's because of
a shortcoming of the implementation it's worth mentioning it in the
function comment above.

This should be a local variable passed to rsa_monpro.

Replace with find_first_bit() and one shift?

As you're doing it only once, why not do it before going into this loop?
Can get rid of 'started' then. Need to adjust the starting value of j, but
with how much is told by find_first_bit().

The use of aux[] is really appalling, for earlier mentioned reasons. Just don't
do that caching and use local values on the stack, if they aren't too big, or
allocate them when needed, or if that's really too slow, allocate it once for each
rsa_modexp call and pass it along.

This way you get rid of those config options too, which make no sense anyway, as at least
setting RSA_AUXCOUNT to more than 8 makes no difference as it won't be used anyway.

The above two functions will become basically empty too then.
