crypto: user - Depend on NET instead of selecting it

2011-11-01T01:12:43+00:00

Selecting NET causes all sorts of issues, including a dependency
loop involving bluetooth.  This patch makes it a dependency instead.

crypto: user - Add dependency on NET

2011-10-26T15:15:10+00:00

Since the configuration interface relies on netlink we need to
select NET.

crypto: Add userspace configuration API

2011-10-21T12:24:03+00:00

This patch adds a basic userspace configuration API for the crypto layer.
With this it is possible to instantiate, remove and to show crypto
algorithms from userspace.

crypto: twofish - add 3-way parallel x86_64 assembler implemention

2011-10-21T12:23:08+00:00

Patch adds 3-way parallel x86_64 assembly implementation of twofish as new
module. New assembler functions crypt data in three blocks chunks, improving
cipher performance on out-of-order CPUs.

Patch has been tested with tcrypt and automated filesystem tests.

Summary of the tcrypt benchmarks:

Twofish 3-way-asm vs twofish asm (128bit 8kb block ECB)
 encrypt: 1.3x speed
 decrypt: 1.3x speed

Twofish 3-way-asm vs twofish asm (128bit 8kb block CBC)
 encrypt: 1.07x speed
 decrypt: 1.4x speed

Twofish 3-way-asm vs twofish asm (128bit 8kb block CTR)
 encrypt: 1.4x speed

Twofish 3-way-asm vs AES asm (128bit 8kb block ECB)
 encrypt: 1.0x speed
 decrypt: 1.0x speed

Twofish 3-way-asm vs AES asm (128bit 8kb block CBC)
 encrypt: 0.84x speed
 decrypt: 1.09x speed

Twofish 3-way-asm vs AES asm (128bit 8kb block CTR)
 encrypt: 1.15x speed

crypto: blowfish - add x86_64 assembly implementation

2011-09-22T11:25:26+00:00

Patch adds x86_64 assembly implementation of blowfish. Two set of assembler
functions are provided. First set is regular 'one-block at time'
encrypt/decrypt functions. Second is 'four-block at time' functions that
gain performance increase on out-of-order CPUs. Performance of 4-way
functions should be equal to 1-way functions with in-order CPUs.

Summary of the tcrypt benchmarks:

Blowfish assembler vs blowfish C (256bit 8kb block ECB)
encrypt: 2.2x speed
decrypt: 2.3x speed

Blowfish assembler vs blowfish C (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: 1.12x speed
decrypt: 2.5x speed

Blowfish assembler vs blowfish C (256bit 8kb block CTR)
encrypt: 2.5x speed

crypto: blowfish - split generic and common c code

2011-09-22T11:25:25+00:00

Patch splits up the blowfish crypto routine into a common part (key setup)
which will be used by blowfish crypto modules (x86_64 assembly and generic-c).

Also fixes errors/warnings reported by checkpatch.

crypto: sha1 - SSSE3 based SHA1 implementation for x86-64

2011-08-10T11:00:29+00:00

This is an assembler implementation of the SHA1 algorithm using the
Supplemental SSE3 (SSSE3) instructions or, when available, the
Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX).

Testing with the tcrypt module shows the raw hash performance is up to
2.3 times faster than the C implementation, using 8k data blocks on a
Core 2 Duo T5500. For the smalest data set (16 byte) it is still 25%
faster.

Since this implementation uses SSE/YMM registers it cannot safely be
used in every situation, e.g. while an IRQ interrupts a kernel thread.
The implementation falls back to the generic SHA1 variant, if using
the SSE/YMM registers is not possible.

With this algorithm I was able to increase the throughput of a single
IPsec link from 344 Mbit/s to 464 Mbit/s on a Core 2 Quad CPU using
the SSSE3 variant -- a speedup of +34.8%.

Saving and restoring SSE/YMM state might make the actual throughput
fluctuate when there are FPU intensive userland applications running.
For example, meassuring the performance using iperf2 directly on the
machine under test gives wobbling numbers because iperf2 uses the FPU
for each packet to check if the reporting interval has expired (in the
above test I got min/max/avg: 402/484/464 MBit/s).

Using this algorithm on a IPsec gateway gives much more reasonable and
stable numbers, albeit not as high as in the directly connected case.
Here is the result from an RFC 2544 test run with a EXFO Packet Blazer
FTB-8510:

 frame size    sha1-generic     sha1-ssse3    delta
    64 byte     37.5 MBit/s    37.5 MBit/s     0.0%
   128 byte     56.3 MBit/s    62.5 MBit/s   +11.0%
   256 byte     87.5 MBit/s   100.0 MBit/s   +14.3%
   512 byte    131.3 MBit/s   150.0 MBit/s   +14.2%
  1024 byte    162.5 MBit/s   193.8 MBit/s   +19.3%
  1280 byte    175.0 MBit/s   212.5 MBit/s   +21.4%
  1420 byte    175.0 MBit/s   218.7 MBit/s   +25.0%
  1518 byte    150.0 MBit/s   181.2 MBit/s   +20.8%

The throughput for the largest frame size is lower than for the
previous size because the IP packets need to be fragmented in this
case to make there way through the IPsec tunnel.
