I've made enough mistakes in this series, I'll just start over.  It's
been hard for me not to be able to run test this in master, and have to
go back and forth between it and 4.19; that's why I have messed up so
many times.  I apologize for the noise again.

If you've read the cover letter from v1 and v2, there's not anything too
relevant that I'm changing here.

---

I've finally managed to get gcm(aes) working with the qce crypto engine.

These first patch fixes a bug where the gcm authentication tag was being
overwritten during gcm decryption, because it was passed in the same sgl
buffer as the crypto payload.  The qce driver appends some private state
buffer to the request destination sgl, but it was not checking the
length of the sgl being passed.

The second patch works around a problem, which I frankly can't pinpoint
what exactly is the cause, but after some help from Ard Biesheuvel, I
think it is related to DMA.  When gcm sends a request in
crypto_gcm_setkey, it stores the hash (the crypto payload) and the iv in
the same data struct.  When the driver updates the IV, then the payload
gets overwritten with the unencrypted data, or all zeroes, it may be a
coincidence.

However, it works if I pass the request down to the fallback driver--it
is used by the driver to accept 192-bit-key requests.  All I had to do
was setup the fallback regardless of key size, and then check the
payload length along with the keysize to pass the request to the
fallback.  This turns out to enhance performance, because of the
avoided latency that comes with using the hardware.

I've started with checking for a single 16-byte AES block, and that is
enough to make gcm work.  Next thing I've done was to tune the request
size for performance.  What got me started into looking at the qce
driver was reports of it being detrimental to VPN speed, by the way.
I've tested this win an Asus RT-AC58U, but the slow VPN reports[1] have
more devices affected.  Access to the device was kindly provided by
@simsasss.

I've added a 768-byte block size to tcrypt to get some measurements to
come up with an optimal threshold to transition from software to
hardware, and encountered another bug in the qce driver: it apparently
cannot handle aes-xts requests that are greater than 512 bytes, but not
a multiple of it.  It failed with 768, 1280; XTS is usually used with a
512-byte sector (or a multiple of it), so I'm concluding that is the
cause of failure.

With that fixed, I added a module parameter to set the maximum request
size that will be handled by the software fallback cipher and made some
speed measurements using tcrypt to come up with an optimum value.

I've documented this briefly in the parameter description, pointing out
that gcm will not work if you set it to 0, and in better detail in the
Kconfig help.

TLDR: In the worst (where the hardware is slowest) case, hardware and
software speed match at around 768 bytes, but I lowered the threshold to
512 to benefit the CPU offload.

Here's a sample comparing three runs, using the proposed driver, varying
the aes_sw_max_len parameter: 1st run will always use fallback, second
run will use the default fallback for len <= 512, and third run will
never use the fallback.

The numbers vary from run to run, sometimes greatly.

I've tried running the same tests with the arm-neon drivers, but the
results don't change with any cipher mode, so I'm assuming the fallback
is always aes-generic.

I've made the measurements using an Asus RT-AC58U only, so I don't know
how other hardware performs, but the user can always override the
parameter, or even its default value.

The qce crypto driver appends an extra entry to the dst sgl, to maintain
private state information.

When the gcm driver sends requests to the ctr skcipher, it passes the
authentication tag after the actual crypto payload, but it must not be
touched.

Commit 1336c2221bee ("crypto: qce - save a sg table slot for result
buf") limited the destination sgl to avoid overwriting the
authentication tag but it assumed the tag would be in a separate sgl
entry.

This is not always the case, so it is better to limit the length of the
destination buffer to req->cryptlen before appending the result buf.

Process small blocks using the fallback cipher, as a workaround for an
observed failure (DMA-related, apparently) when computing the GCM ghash
key.  This brings a speed gain as well, since it avoids the latency of
using the hardware engine to process small blocks.

Using software for all 16-byte requests would be enough to make GCM
work, but to increase performance, a larger threshold would be better.
Measuring the performance of supported ciphers with openssl speed,
software matches hardware at around 768-1024 bytes.

Considering the 256-bit ciphers, software is 2-3 times faster than qce
at 256-bytes, 30% faster at 512, and about even at 768-bytes.  With
128-bit keys, the break-even point would be around 1024-bytes.

This adds the 'aes_sw_max_len' parameter, to set the largest request
length processed by the software fallback.  Its default is being set to
512 bytes, a little lower than the break-even point, to balance the cost
in CPU usage.

QCE hangs when presented with an AES-XTS request whose length is larger
than QCE_SECTOR_SIZE (512-bytes), and is not a multiple of it.  Let the
fallback cipher handle them.
