Subject: [PATCH] lib/crypto: mips/chacha: Fix clang build and remove unneeded byteswap
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2025 15:55:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250619225535.679301-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
The MIPS32r2 ChaCha code has never been buildable with the clang
assembler. First, clang doesn't support the 'rotl' pseudo-instruction:
error: unknown instruction, did you mean: rol, rotr?
Second, clang requires that both operands of the 'wsbh' instruction be
explicitly given:
error: too few operands for instruction
To fix this, align the code with the real instruction set by (1) using
the real instruction 'rotr' instead of the nonstandard pseudo-
instruction 'rotl', and (2) explicitly giving both operands to 'wsbh'.
To make removing the use of 'rotl' a bit easier, also remove the
unnecessary special-casing for big endian CPUs at
.Lchacha_mips_xor_bytes. The tail handling is actually
endian-independent since it processes one byte at a time. On big endian
CPUs the old code byte-swapped SAVED_X, then iterated through it in
reverse order. But the byteswap and reverse iteration canceled out.
Tested with chacha20poly1305-selftest in QEMU using "-M malta" with both
little endian and big endian mips32r2 kernels.
