crypto: sanitize argument for format string

2013-07-13T18:42:26+00:00

commit 1c8fca1d92e14859159a82b8a380d220139b7344 upstream.

The template lookup interface does not provide a way to use format
strings, so make sure that the interface cannot be abused accidentally.

The use of wait_for_completion_interruptible is intentional so that
we don't lock up the thread if a bug causes us to never wake up.

This bug is caused by the helper thread using the larval without
holding a reference count on it.  If the helper thread completes
after the original thread requesting for help has gone away and
destroyed the larval, then we get the crash above.

So the fix is to hold a reference count on the larval.

crypto: blowfish - disable AVX2 implementation

2013-06-05T08:33:23+00:00

It appears that the performance of 'vpgatherdd' is suboptimal for this kind of
workload (tested on Core i5-4570) and causes blowfish-avx2 to be significantly
slower than blowfish-amd64. So disable the AVX2 implementation to avoid
performance regressions.

crypto: camellia - add AVX2/AES-NI/x86_64 assembler implementation of camellia cipher

2013-04-25T13:09:07+00:00

Patch adds AVX2/AES-NI/x86-64 implementation of Camellia cipher, requiring
32 parallel blocks for input (512 bytes). Compared to AVX implementation, this
version is extended to use the 256-bit wide YMM registers. For AES-NI
instructions data is split to two 128-bit registers and merged afterwards.
Even with this additional handling, performance should be higher compared
to the AES-NI/AVX implementation.

crypto: serpent - add AVX2/x86_64 assembler implementation of serpent cipher

2013-04-25T13:09:07+00:00

Patch adds AVX2/x86-64 implementation of Serpent cipher, requiring 16 parallel
blocks for input (256 bytes). Implementation is based on the AVX implementation
and extends to use the 256-bit wide YMM registers. Since serpent does not use
table look-ups, this implementation should be close to two times faster than
the AVX implementation.

Patch adds AVX2/x86-64 implementation of Twofish cipher, requiring 16 parallel
blocks for input (256 bytes). Table look-ups are performed using vpgatherdd
instruction directly from vector registers and thus should be faster than
earlier implementations. Implementation also uses 256-bit wide YMM registers,
which should give additional speed up compared to the AVX implementation.
