<title>lib/crypto: arm64/aes: Move assembly code for AES modes into libaes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4b908403209252e59ecad4c068bf967fa3f07525</id>
<content type='text'>
To migrate the support for CBC-based MACs into libaes, the corresponding
arm64 assembly code needs to be moved there.  However, the arm64 AES
assembly code groups many AES modes together; individual modes aren't
easily separable.  (This isn't unique to arm64; other architectures
organize their AES modes similarly.)

Since the other AES modes will be migrated into the library eventually
too, just move the full assembly files for the AES modes into the
library.  (This is similar to what I already did for PowerPC and SPARC.)

Specifically: move the assembly files aes-ce.S, aes-modes.S, and
aes-neon.S and their build rules; declare the assembly functions in
&lt;crypto/aes.h&gt;; and export the assembly functions from libaes.

Note that the exports and public declarations of the assembly functions
are temporary.  They exist only to keep arch/arm64/crypto/ working until
the AES modes are fully moved into the library.

<title>crypto: arm64/aes-ce - Simplify round key load sequence</title>

<id>urn:sha1:571e557cbaf748124aaf0f0ac26772d7380e78fc</id>
<content type='text'>
Tweak the round key logic so that they can be loaded using a single
branchless sequence using overlapping loads. This is shorter and
simpler, and puts the conditional branches based on the key size further
apart, which might benefit microarchitectures that cannot record taken
branches at every instruction. For these branches, use test-bit-branch
instructions that don't clobber the condition flags.

Note that none of this has any impact on performance, positive or
otherwise (and the branch prediction benefit would only benefit AES-192
which nobody uses). It does make for nicer code, though.

While at it, use \@ to generate the labels inside the macros, which is
more robust than using fixed numbers, which could clash inadvertently.
Also, bring aes-neon.S in line with these changes, including the switch
to test-and-branch instructions, to avoid surprises in the future when
we might start relying on the condition flags being preserved in the
chaining mode wrappers in aes-modes.S

Now that the rest of the code has been converted to the modern START/END
macros the AES_ENTRY() and AES_ENDPROC() macros look out of place and
like they need updating. Rename them to AES_FUNC_START() and AES_FUNC_END()
to line up with the modern style assembly macros.

<content type='text'>
In an effort to clarify and simplify the annotation of assembly functions
in the kernel new macros have been introduced. These replace ENTRY and
ENDPROC and also add a new annotation for static functions which previously
had no ENTRY equivalent. Update the annotations in the crypto code to the
new macros.

There are a small number of files imported from OpenSSL where the assembly
is generated using perl programs, these are not currently annotated at all
and have not been modified.

Update the AES-XTS implementation based on NEON instructions so that it
can deal with inputs whose size is not a multiple of the cipher block
size. This is part of the original XTS specification, but was never
implemented before in the Linux kernel.

Since the bit slicing driver is only faster if it can operate on at
least 7 blocks of input at the same time, let's reuse the alternate
path we are adding for CTS to process any data tail whose size is
not a multiple of 128 bytes.

This implements 5-way interleaving for ECB, CBC decryption and CTR,
resulting in a speedup of ~11% on Marvell ThunderX2, which has a
very deep pipeline and therefore a high issue latency for NEON
instructions operating on the same registers.

Note that XTS is left alone: implementing 5-way interleave there
would either involve spilling of the calculated tweaks to the
stack, or recalculating them after the encryption operation, and
doing either of those would most likely penalize low end cores.

For ECB, this is not a concern at all, given that we have plenty
of spare registers. For CTR and CBC decryption, we take advantage
of the fact that v16 is not used by the CE version of the code
(which is the only one targeted by the optimization), and so we
can reshuffle the code a bit and avoid having to spill to memory
(with the exception of one extra reload in the CBC routine)

<id>urn:sha1:2e5d2f33d1dbd551f14634483c7ea81e5119d689</id>
<content type='text'>
The Crypto Extension instantiation of the aes-modes.S collection of
skciphers uses only 15 NEON registers for the round key array, whereas
the pure NEON flavor uses 16 NEON registers for the AES S-box.

This means we have a spare register available that we can use to hold
the XTS mask vector, removing the need to reload it at every iteration
of the inner loop.

Since the pure NEON version does not permit this optimization, tweak
the macros so we can factor out this functionality. Also, replace the
literal load with a short sequence to compose the mask vector.

On Cortex-A53, this results in a ~4% speedup.
