v2 cover crypto: Clean up arm64 AES-CCM code

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

The AES-CCM driver was written 10+ years ago, based on the very first kernel mode NEON API for arm64, which eagerly preserved/restored the NEON registers on each call to kernel_neon_begin() resp. kernel_neon_end().

For this reason, the asm helpers were constructed in a way that used only 6 NEON registers, as the kernel mode NEON API at the time implemented an optimization where kernel_neon_begin() took an int denoting the number of NEON registers to preserve/restore. Given that no actual hardware existed at the time (except perhaps for APM Xgene1 which did not implement the crypto instructions), all of this was based on premature assumptions.

These days, the NEON API is a bit more sophisticated, and does not bother to preserve/restore anything unless it is needed (e.g., when context switching or returning to user space). It also no longer disables preemption. Finally, we've developed some code patterns in the mean time to deal with tail blocks more cleanly and efficiently.

So let's bring the CCM driver up to date with all of this.

Changes since v1:
- keep primary en/decryption paths separate
- fix rebase error in v1

Ard Biesheuvel (8):
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Revert "Rewrite skcipher walker loop"
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Keep NEON enabled during skcipher walk
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Pass short inputs via stack buffer
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Replace bytewise tail handling with NEON
permute
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Reuse existing MAC update for AAD input
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Cache round keys and unroll AES loops
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Merge encrypt and decrypt tail handling
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Merge finalization into en/decrypt asm helpers

PATCH v2 1/8 crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Revert "Rewrite skcipher walker loop"

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

This reverts commit 57ead1bf1c54, which updated the CCM code to only rely on walk.nbytes to check for failures returned from the skcipher walk API, mostly for the common good rather than to fix a particular problem in the code.

This change introduces a problem of its own: the skcipher walk is started with the 'atomic' argument set to false, which means that the skcipher walk API is permitted to sleep. Subsequently, it invokes skcipher_walk_done() with preemption disabled on the final iteration of the loop. This appears to work by accident, but it is arguably a bad example, and providing a better example was the point of the original patch.

Given that future changes to the CCM code will rely on the original behavior of entering the loop even for zero sized inputs, let's just revert this change entirely, and proceed from there.

PATCH v2 2/8 crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Keep NEON enabled during skcipher walk

In reply to Ard Biesheuvel

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

Now that kernel mode NEON no longer disables preemption, we no longer have to take care to disable and re-enable use of the NEON when calling into the skcipher walk API. So just keep it enabled until done.

PATCH v2 3/8 crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Pass short inputs via stack buffer

In reply to Ard Biesheuvel

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

In preparation for optimizing the CCM core asm code using permutation vectors and overlapping loads and stores, ensure that inputs shorter than the size of a AES block are passed via a buffer on the stack, in a way that positions the data at the end of a 16 byte buffer. This removes the need for the asm code to reason about a rare corner case where the tail of the data cannot be read/written using a single NEON load/store instruction.

While at it, tweak the copyright header and authorship to bring it up to date.

PATCH v2 4/8 crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Replace bytewise tail handling with NEON permute

In reply to Ard Biesheuvel

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

Implement the CCM tail handling using a single sequence that uses permute vectors and overlapping loads and stores, rather than going over the tail byte by byte in a loop, and using scalar operations. This is more efficient, even though the measured speedup is only around 1-2% on the CPUs I have tried.

PATCH v2 5/8 crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Reuse existing MAC update for AAD input

In reply to Ard Biesheuvel

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

CCM combines the counter (CTR) encryption mode with a MAC based on the same block cipher. This MAC construction is a bit clunky: it invokes the block cipher in a way that cannot be parallelized, resulting in poor CPU pipeline efficiency.

The arm64 CCM code mitigates this by interleaving the encryption and MAC at the AES round level, resulting in a substantial speedup. But this approach does not apply to the additional authenticated data (AAD) which is not encrypted.

This means the special asm routine dealing with the AAD is not any better than the MAC update routine used by the arm64 AES block encryption driver, so let's reuse that, and drop the special AES-CCM version.

PATCH v2 6/8 crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Cache round keys and unroll AES loops

In reply to Ard Biesheuvel

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

The CCM code as originally written attempted to use as few NEON registers as possible, to avoid having to eagerly preserve/restore the entire NEON register file at every call to kernel_neon_begin/end. At that time, this API took a number of NEON registers as a parameter, and only preserved that many registers.

Today, the NEON register file is restored lazily, and the old API is long gone. This means we can use as many NEON registers as we can make meaningful use of, which means in the AES case that we can keep all round keys in registers rather than reloading each of them for each AES block processed.

On Cortex-A53, this results in a speedup of more than 50%. (From 4 cycles per byte to 2.6 cycles per byte)

PATCH v2 7/8 crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Merge encrypt and decrypt tail handling

In reply to Ard Biesheuvel

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

The encryption and decryption code paths are mostly identical, except for a small difference where the plaintext input into the MAC is taken from either the input or the output block.

We can factor this in quite easily using a vector bit select, and a few additional XORs, without the need for branches. This way, we can use the same tail handling logic on the encrypt and decrypt code paths, allowing further consolidation of the asm helpers in a subsequent patch.

(In the main loop, adding just a handful of ALU instructions results in a noticeable performance hit [around 5% on Apple M2], so those routines are kept separate)

PATCH v2 8/8 crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Merge finalization into en/decrypt asm helpers

In reply to Ard Biesheuvel

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

The C glue code already infers whether or not the current iteration is the final one, by comparing walk.nbytes with walk.total. This means we can easily inform the asm helpers of this as well, by conditionally passing a pointer to the original IV, which is used in the finalization of the MAC. This removes the need for a separate call into the asm code to perform the finalization.

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

The AES-CCM driver was written 10+ years ago, based on the very first kernel mode NEON API for arm64, which eagerly preserved/restored the NEON registers on each call to kernel_neon_begin() resp. kernel_neon_end().

For this reason, the asm helpers were constructed in a way that used only 6 NEON registers, as the kernel mode NEON API at the time implemented an optimization where kernel_neon_begin() took an int denoting the number of NEON registers to preserve/restore. Given that no actual hardware existed at the time (except perhaps for APM Xgene1 which did not implement the crypto instructions), all of this was based on premature assumptions.

These days, the NEON API is a bit more sophisticated, and does not bother to preserve/restore anything unless it is needed (e.g., when context switching or returning to user space). It also no longer disables preemption. Finally, we've developed some code patterns in the mean time to deal with tail blocks more cleanly and efficiently.

So let's bring the CCM driver up to date with all of this.

Changes since v1:
- keep primary en/decryption paths separate
- fix rebase error in v1

Ard Biesheuvel (8):
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Revert "Rewrite skcipher walker loop"
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Keep NEON enabled during skcipher walk
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Pass short inputs via stack buffer
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Replace bytewise tail handling with NEON
permute
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Reuse existing MAC update for AAD input
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Cache round keys and unroll AES loops
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Merge encrypt and decrypt tail handling
crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - Merge finalization into en/decrypt asm helpers
