560c06ae1a [CRYPTO] api: Get rid of flags argument to setkey
Now that the tfm is passed directly to setkey instead of the ctx, we no
longer need to pass the &tfm->crt_flags pointer.

This patch also gets rid of a few unnecessary checks on the key length
for ciphers as the cipher layer guarantees that the key length is within
the bounds specified by the algorithm.

Rather than testing dia_setkey every time, this patch does it only once
during crypto_alloc_tfm.  The redundant check from crypto_digest_setkey
is also removed.

eaf44088ff [CRYPTO] twofish: x86-64 assembly version
The patch passed the trycpt tests and automated filesystem tests.
This rewrite resulted in some nice perfomance increase over my last patch.

Short summary of the tcrypt benchmarks:

Twofish Assembler vs. Twofish C (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: -27% Cycles
decrypt: -23% Cycles

Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (128bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: +18%  Cycles
decrypt: +15% Cycles

Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: -9% Cycles
decrypt: -8% Cycles

Here is another bonnie++ benchmark with encrypted filesystems. Most runs maxed
out the hd. It should give some idea what the module can do for encrypted filesystem
performance even though you can't see the full numbers.

e90b1a2be6 [CRYPTO] aes: Add wrappers for assembly routines
The wrapper routines are required when asmlinkage differs from the usual
calling convention.  So we need to have them.  However, by rearranging
the parameters, they will get optimised away to a single jump for most
people.

6c2bb98bc3 [CRYPTO] all: Pass tfm instead of ctx to algorithms
Up until now algorithms have been happy to get a context pointer since
they know everything that's in the tfm already (e.g., alignment, block
size).

However, once we have parameterised algorithms, such information will
be specific to each tfm.  So the algorithm API needs to be changed to
pass the tfm structure instead of the context pointer.

This patch is basically a text substitution.  The only tricky bit is
the assembly routines that need to get the context pointer offset
through asm-offsets.h.

55e9dce37d [CRYPTO] aes: Fixed array boundary violation
The AES setkey routine writes 64 bytes to the E_KEY area even though
there are only 60 bytes there.  It is in fact safe since E_KEY is
immediately follwed by D_KEY which is initialised afterwards.  However,
doing this may trigger undefined behaviour and makes Coverity unhappy.

So by combining E_KEY and D_KEY into one array we sidestep this issue
altogether.

This problem was reported by Adrian Bunk.

c8a19c91b5 [CRYPTO] Allow AES C/ASM implementations to coexist
As the Crypto API now allows multiple implementations to be registered
for the same algorithm, we no longer have to play tricks with Kconfig
to select the right AES implementation.

This patch sets the driver name and priority for all the AES
implementations and removes the Kconfig conditions on the C implementation
for AES.

06ace7a9ba [CRYPTO] Use standard byte order macros wherever possible
A lot of crypto code needs to read/write a 32-bit/64-bit words in a
specific gender.  Many of them open code them by reading/writing one
byte at a time.  This patch converts all the applicable usages over
to use the standard byte order macros.

This is based on a previous patch by Denis Vlasenko.

03c6b749b3 [PATCH] x86_64: add MODULE_ALIAS for aes
modprobe aes does not work on x86_64.  i386 has a similar line, this could
be the right fix.  Would be nice to have in 2.6.13 final.

a2a892a236 [CRYPTO] Add x86_64 asm AES
Implementation:
===============
The encrypt/decrypt code is based on an x86 implementation I did a while
ago which I never published. This unpublished implementation does
include an assembler based key schedule and precomputed tables. For
simplicity and best acceptance, however, I took Gladman's in-kernel code
for table generation and key schedule for the kernel port of my
assembler code and modified this code to produce the key schedule as
required by my assembler implementation. File locations and Kconfig are
kept similar to the i586 AES assembler implementation.
It may seem a little bit strange to use 32 bit I/O and registers in the
assembler implementation but this gives the best code size. My
implementation takes one instruction more per round compared to
Gladman's x86 assembler but it doesn't require any stack for local
variables or saved registers and it is less serialized than Gladman's
code.
Note that all comparisons to Gladman's code were done after my code was
implemented. I did only use FIPS PUB 197 for the implementation so my
implementation is independent work.
If anybody has a better assembler solution for x86_64 I'll be pleased to
have my code replaced with the better solution.

Testing:
========
The implementation passes the in-kernel crypto testing module and I'm
running it without any problems on my laptop where it is mainly used for
dm-crypt.

Microbenchmark:
===============
The microbenchmark was done in userspace with similar compile flags as
used during kernel compile.
Encrypt/decrypt is about 35% faster than the generic C implementation.
As the generic C as well as my assembler implementation are both table
I don't really expect that there is much room for further
improvements though I'll be glad to be corrected here.
The key schedule is about 5% slower than the generic C implementation.
This is due to the fact that some more work has to be done in the key
schedule routine to fit the schedule to the assembler implementation.

Code Size:
==========
Encrypt and decrypt are together about 2.1 Kbytes smaller than the
generic C implementation which is important with regard to L1 cache
usage. The key schedule routine is about 100 bytes larger than the
generic C implementation.

Data Size:
==========
There's no difference in data size requirements between the assembler
implementation and the generic C implementation.

License:
========
Gladmans's code is dual BSD/GPL whereas my assembler code is GPLv2 only
(I'm  not going to change the license for my code). So I had to change
the module license for the x86_64 aes module from 'Dual BSD/GPL' to
'GPL' to reflect the most restrictive license within the module.
