CONFIG_CRYPTO_SELFTESTS: Enable cryptographic self-tests

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_CRYPTO_SELFTESTS:

• prompt: Enable cryptographic self-tests
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_EXPERT
• defined in crypto/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 6.16-rc+HEAD

Help text

Enable the cryptographic self-tests.

The cryptographic self-tests run at boot time, or at algorithm registration time if algorithms are dynamically loaded later.

There are two main use cases for these tests:

- Development and pre-release testing. In this case, also enable CRYPTO_SELFTESTS_FULL to get the full set of tests. All crypto code in the kernel is expected to pass the full set of tests.

- Production kernels, to help prevent buggy drivers from being used and/or meet FIPS 140-3 pre-operational testing requirements. In this case, enable CRYPTO_SELFTESTS but not CRYPTO_SELFTESTS_FULL.
