Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] running kernel mode SIMD with softirqs disabled
Date: Wed, 12 May 2021 20:44:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210512184439.8778-1-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)

This is a follow-up to [0], but given that the arm64 architectural
pieces have been merged for arm64, the only remaining changes are crypto
specific. Therefore, the audience has been reduced to those people who
are likely to care about these specifics.

Patch #1 addresses an issue in the skcipher walker which doesn't handle
zero sized AEAD inputs entirely consistently, which is uncovered by the
change in patch #7.

Patches #2 and #3 add some sanity checks to the public AEAD and skcipher
APIs to limit their availibility to either task or softirq context
(which is the only way in which they are currently being used). Adding
this restriction permits the arm64 crypto code to get rid of all scalar
fallbacks, given that on this architecture, softirqs are no longer
served while the SIMD unit is being used in kernel mode, which means
that the scalar fallbacks are never needed. These are removed in the
remaining 4 patches.

Ard Biesheuvel (7):
  crypto: handle zero sized AEAD inputs correctly
  crypto: aead - disallow en/decrypt for non-task or non-softirq context
  crypto: skcipher - disallow en/decrypt for non-task or non-softirq
    context
  crypto: arm64/gcm-aes-ce - remove non-SIMD fallback path
  crypto: arm64/aes-neonbs - stop using SIMD helper for skciphers
  crypto: arm64/aes-ce - stop using SIMD helper for skciphers
  crypto: arm64/aes-ccm - remove non-SIMD fallback path
