6a17944ca1 [CRYPTO]: Use CPU cycle counters in tcrypt
After using this facility for a while to test my changes to the
cipher crypt() layer, I realised that I should've listend to Dave
and made this thing use CPU cycle counters :) As it is it's too
jittery for me to feel safe about relying on the results.

So here is a patch to make it use CPU cycles by default but fall
back to jiffies if the user specifies a non-zero sec value.

dce907c00f [CRYPTO]: Use template keys for speed tests if possible
The existing keys used in the speed tests do not pass the 3DES quality check.
This patch makes it use the template keys instead.

Other algorithms can supply template keys through the same interface if needed.

ebfd9bcf16 [CRYPTO]: Add cipher speed tests
From: Reyk Floeter <reyk@vantronix.net>

I recently had the requirement to do some benchmarking on cryptoapi, and
I found reyk's very useful performance test patch [1].

However, I could not find any discussion on why that extension (or
something providing a similar feature but different implementation) was
not merged into mainline.  If there was such a discussion, can someone
please point me to the archive[s]?

I've now merged the old patch into 2.6.12-rc1, the result can be found
attached to this email.

3cc3816f93 [CRYPTO]: Kill unnecessary strncpy from tcrypt
It seems that bad code tends to get copied (see test_cipher_speed).  So let's
kill this idiom before it spreads any further.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
