Hello Ard,

two of your patches in the crypto tree cause build breakage on s390:

The patch ("crypto: aes - create AES library based on the fixed time AES code")
causes this:

arch/s390/crypto/aes_s390.c:111:13: error: conflicting types for 'aes_encrypt'
  111 | static void aes_encrypt(struct crypto_tfm *tfm, u8 *out, const u8 *in)
      |             ^~~~~~~~~~~

And the commit ("crypto: aegis128 - add support for SIMD acceleration") causes
another build breakage:

crypto/aegis128-core.c:19:10: fatal error: asm/simd.h: No such file or directory
   19 | #include <asm/simd.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~

Ard already sent a patch for this which I've just pushed out.

Ok, thanks!

However that doesn't fix the simd.h header file breakage with the
second patch :)

That fix should be there now too.

Still not... with linux-next as of today I get this (s390 defconfig):

Hello Heiko,

Apologies for the breakage. The first two fixes addressed obvious
shortcomings in my code, but with this issue, I'm a bit puzzled tbh.
The calls to these missing functions should be optimized away, since
have_simd never gets assigned if CONFIG_CRYPTO_AEGIS128_SIMD is not
defined, but for some reason, this isn't working. Which version of GCC
are you using?

Also, could you please try whether the patch below fixes the problem? Thanks

It might be time to revert all this series and try again.  The
implementation seems to have not been well thought through from a kernel
building point of view.  For a start the two commits

  7cdc0ddbf74a ("crypto: aegis128 - add support for SIMD acceleration")
  ecc8bc81f2fb ("crypto: aegis128 - provide a SIMD implementation based on NEON intrinsics")

seem to be in the wrong order (function used in the first before being
defined in the second).  There are a series of declarations of external
functions in crypto/aegis128-core.c that should be in a header file.
And there was the assumption that asm/simd.h was available everywhere.

Also crypto_aegis128_decrypt_chunk_simd() is referenced in a structure
initialisation (unprotected by any CONFIG_ variable - and so will be
referenced even if it does not exist).  The compiler will have a hard
time knowing that "have_simd" is effectively a constant zero (and
crypto_simd_usable() is not constant).

I think the idea was that it would get optimised out if the
implementation is absent which is why it was meant to work in
this order.  But oviously as we have found out this didn't work.

Ard, I think relying on the compiler to optimise something out based
on an assignment within an if statement is just too error-prone.
We'll need a different mechanism for this.

For now I'm going to back out those two specific patches as the
rest seem to be valid by themselves.

I have applied the top commit from your tree to linux-next today just
to help with building and testing over the weekend (I had already
merged your tree before you added the revert).

Indeed. This is definitely something I tested, and it appears to be
dependent on the GCC version.

OK. I will adopt this mechanism [0] after all and resubmit, once I get
confirmation from either Voldis or Heiko that this makes the issue go
away (given that my local GCC does not reproduce the issue)

The only assignment to have_simd is guarded by a if
(IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_xxx)) conditional, which is optimized away if the
Kconfig symbol is not set. Usually, the compiler uses this information
to infer that have_simd is a compile time constant '0', and optimizes
away all the code that depends on have_simd being true. I haven't
figured out yet why this doesn't work as expected on some versions of
GCC, since it is a very common pattern throughout the kernel.

Thanks for confirming.

Since Voldis is reporting GCC 9.1.x as well, this might be a compiler
regression (and it explains why I did not see the issue locally)

In any case, the patches have been reverted now, so I will resubmit
them with the above change folded in.

Thanks,
Ard.

Thanks Stephen! We don't have any automatic testing coverage on s390
for any linux-next release this week due to the build breakage(s).
