[PATCH v5 0/4] gf128mul refactoring

[PATCH v5 0/4] gf128mul refactoring

[Ondrej Mosnacek]

This patchset contains the following gf128mul-related changes:
  1. The gf128mul_x_* functions are moved to gf128mul.h for performance reasons.
  2. The gf128mul_x_ble function is fixed to use the correct block type.
  3. The le128_gf128mul_x_ble function from glue_helper.h is removed and its
     usages replaced with gf128mul_x_ble calls.
  4. The now obsolete dependency of CRYPTO_XTS on CRYPTO_GF128MUL is removed.

v4 -> v5: added the other three patches
v3 -> v4: a faster version of gf128mul_x_lle
v2 -> v3: constant-time implementation
v1 -> v2: move all _x_ functions to the header, not just gf128mul_x_ble

Ondrej Mosnacek (4):
  crypto: gf128mul - define gf128mul_x_* in gf128mul.h
  crypto: gf128mul - switch gf128mul_x_ble to le128
  crypto: glue_helper - remove the le128_gf128mul_x_ble function
  crypto: xts - drop gf128mul dependency

[PATCH v5 1/4] crypto: gf128mul - define gf128mul_x_* in gf128mul.h

[Ondrej Mosnacek]

The gf128mul_x_ble function is currently defined in gf128mul.c, because
it depends on the gf128mul_table_be multiplication table.

However, since the function is very small and only uses two values from
the table, it is better for it to be defined as inline function in
gf128mul.h. That way, the function can be inlined by the compiler for
better performance.

For consistency, the other gf128mul_x_* functions are also moved to the
header file. In addition, the code is rewritten to be constant-time.

After this change, the speed of the generic 'xts(aes)' implementation
increased from ~225 MiB/s to ~235 MiB/s (measured using 'cryptsetup
benchmark -c aes-xts-plain64' on an Intel system with CRYPTO_AES_X86_64
and CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL disabled).

[PATCH v5 2/4] crypto: gf128mul - switch gf128mul_x_ble to le128

[Ondrej Mosnacek]

Currently, gf128mul_x_ble works with pointers to be128, even though it
actually interprets the words as little-endian. Consequently, it uses
cpu_to_le64/le64_to_cpu on fields of type __be64, which is incorrect.

This patch fixes that by changing the function to accept pointers to
le128 and updating all users accordingly.

[PATCH v5 3/4] crypto: glue_helper - remove the le128_gf128mul_x_ble function

[Ondrej Mosnacek]

The le128_gf128mul_x_ble function in glue_helper.h is now obsolete and
can be replaced with the gf128mul_x_ble function from gf128mul.h.

[PATCH v5 4/4] crypto: xts - drop gf128mul dependency

[Ondrej Mosnacek]

Since the gf128mul_x_ble function used by xts.c is now defined inline
in the header file, the XTS module no longer depends on gf128mul.
Therefore, the 'select CRYPTO_GF128MUL' line can be safely removed.

These all look good to me, and you can add

	Reviewed-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

to the patches.

I think the change to le128 is an improvement, but what I've actually wanted to
do is have the GF(2^128) elements strongly typed, with ble128, bbe128, and
lle128 types, so that the types would reflect both the bit order and the byte
order.  But that's harder to do and I ran into some issues when I tried it last.

All applied.  Thanks.
