[PATCH v2 0/6] crypto: x86_64 optimized XChaCha and NHPoly1305 (for Adiantum)

[Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>]

Hello,

This series optimizes the Adiantum encryption mode for x86_64 by adding
SSE2 and AVX2 accelerated implementations of NHPoly1305, specifically
the NH part; and by modifying the existing x86_64 SSSE3/AVX2/AVX-512VL
ChaCha20 implementation to support XChaCha20 and XChaCha12.

This greatly improves Adiantum performance on x86_64.  

For example, encrypting 4096-byte messages (single-threaded) on a
Skylake-based processor (Intel Xeon, supports AVX-512VL and AVX2):

                           Before                After
                           --------              ---------
adiantum(xchacha12,aes)    348 MB/s              1458 MB/s
adiantum(xchacha20,aes)    265 MB/s              1240 MB/s

And on a Zen-based processor (Threadripper 1950X, supports AVX2):

                           Before                After
                           --------              ---------
adiantum(xchacha12,aes)    505 MB/s              1250 MB/s
adiantum(xchacha20,aes)    387 MB/s              989 MB/s

Decryption is almost exactly the same speed as encryption.

The biggest benefit comes from accelerating XChaCha.  Accelerating NH
gives a somewhat smaller, but still significant benefit.

Performance on 512-byte inputs is also improved, though that is much
slower in the first place.  When Adiantium is used with dm-crypt (or
cryptsetup), we recommend using a 4096-byte sector size.

For comparison, AES-256-XTS is 2699 MB/s on the Skylake CPU and
4140 MB/s on the Zen CPU.  However, AES has the benefit of direct AES-NI
hardware support whereas Adiantum is implemented entirely with
general-purpose instructions (scalar and SIMD).  Adiantum is also a
super-pseudorandom permutation over the entire sector, unlike XTS.

Note that XChaCha20 and XChaCha12 can be used for other purposes too.

Changed since v1:
  - Rebase on top of latest cryptodev with the AVX-512VL accelerated
    ChaCha20 from Martin Willi.
