   4 Subject: [PATCH] Assign crypto aliases to different AES implementation
   5  modules
   6
   7 The kernel modules aes-neon-blk and aes-neon-bs perform poorly, at least on
   8 Cortex-A72 without crypto extensions. In fact, aes-arm64 outperforms them
   9 on benchmarks, despite it being a simpler implementation (only accelerating
  10 the single-block AES cipher).
  11
  12 For modes of operation where multiple cipher blocks can be processed in
  13 parallel, aes-neon-bs outperforms aes-neon-blk by around 60-70% and aes-arm64
  14 is another 10-20% faster still. But the difference is even more marked with
  15 modes of operation with dependencies between neighbouring blocks, such as
  16 CBC encryption, which defeat parallelism: in these cases, aes-arm64 is
  17 typically around 250% faster than either aes-neon-blk or aes-neon-bs.
  18
  19 The key trade-off with aes-arm64 is that the look-up tables are situated in
  20 RAM. This leaves them potentially open to cache timing attacks. The two other
  21 modules, by contrast, load the look-up tables into NEON registers and so are
  22 able to perform in constant time.
  23
  24 This patch aims to load aes-arm64 more often.
  25
  26 If none of the currently-loaded crypto modules implement a given algorithm,
  27 a new one is typically selected for loading using a platform-neutral alias
  28 describing the required algorithm. To enable users to still
  29 load aes-neon-blk or aes-neon-bs if they really want them, while still
  30 ensuring that aes-arm64 is usually selected, remove the aliases from
  31 aes-neonbs-glue.c and aes-glue.c and apply them to aes-cipher-glue.c, but
  32 still build the two NEON modules.
  33
  34 Since aes-glue.c can also be used to build aes-ce-blk, leave them enabled
  35 if USE_V8_CRYPTO_EXTENSIONS is defined, to ensure they are selected if we
  36 in future use a CPU which has the crypto extensions enabled.
  37
  38 Note that the algorithm priority specifiers are unchanged, so if
  39 aes-neon-bs is loaded at the same time as aes-arm64, the former will be
  40 used in preference. However, aes-neon-blk and aes-arm64 have tied priority,
  41 so whichever module was loaded first will be used (assuming aes-neon-bs is
  42 not loaded).
