Loading fpu without aesni-intel does nothing. Loading aesni-intel without fpu causes modes like xts to fail. (Unloading aesni-intel will restore those modes.) One solution would be to make aesni-intel depend on fpu, but it seems cleaner to just combine the modules. This is probably responsible for bugs like: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=589390 Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
PCLMULQDQ is used to accelerate the most time-consuming part of GHASH, carry-less multiplication. More information about PCLMULQDQ can be found at: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/carry-less-multiplication-and-its-usage-for-computing-the-gcm-mode/ Because PCLMULQDQ changes XMM state, its usage must be enclosed with kernel_fpu_begin/end, which can be used only in process context, the acceleration is implemented as crypto_ahash. That is, request in soft IRQ context will be defered to the cryptd kernel thread. Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Blkcipher touching FPU need to be enclosed by kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end(). If they are invoked in cipher algorithm implementation, they will be invoked for each block, so that performance will be hurt, because they are "slow" operations. This patch implements "fpu" template, which makes these operations to be invoked for each request.

Intel AES-NI is a new set of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions that are going to be introduced in the next generation of Intel processor, as of 2009. These instructions enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption, using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), defined by FIPS Publication number 197. The architecture introduces six instructions that offer full hardware support for AES. Four of them support high performance data encryption and decryption, and the other two instructions support the AES key expansion procedure. The white paper can be downloaded from: http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/isn/downloads/intelavx/AES-Instructions-Set_WP.pdf AES may be used in soft_irq context, but MMX/SSE context can not be touched safely in soft_irq context. So in_interrupt() is checked, if in IRQ or soft_irq context, the general x86_64 implementation are used instead.

From NHM processor onward, Intel processors can support hardware accelerated CRC32c algorithm with the new CRC32 instruction in SSE 4.2 instruction set. The patch detects the availability of the feature, and chooses the most proper way to calculate CRC32c checksum. Byte code instructions are used for compiler compatibility. No MMX / XMM registers is involved in the implementation.

This is the x86-64 version of the Salsa20 stream cipher algorithm. The original assembly code came from <http://cr.yp.to/snuffle/salsa20/amd64-3/salsa20.s>. It has been reformatted for clarity.

This patch contains the salsa20-i586 implementation. The original assembly code came from <http://cr.yp.to/snuffle/salsa20/x86-pm/salsa20.s>. I have reformatted it (added indents) so that it matches the other algorithms in arch/x86/crypto.
