Subject[PATCH 0/8] arm64: udev autoloaded module for Crypto Extensions sync AES
Date
This series is mostly a repost of patches that I have proposed (and that have
been discussed) on the list previously. This time, I am resending it as a
coherent series to try and make a stronger case for the features I am proposing.

Patch #8 implements the core AES cipher. It relies on patches 2, 3 and 5 to
support udev autoloading of the module if the AES extension is supported by the
CPU it is running on. Patches 6 and 7 are required because the core AES cipher
may be called from interrupt context.

Patch #1 is included as a bonus/reference *only*. It is not intended to be
merged, but it allows those who would like to try this code to do so on a system
or emulator that does not have the Crypto Extensions implemented.

Patch #2 moves arch_cpu_uevent() from x86 to generic code, as it is generic in
nature and can be reused by other archs.

Patch #3 introduces a generic 'cpu' modalias type which can be used to autoload
modules based on whether the CPU supports a certain optional feature. How IDs
map to features is not specified, this is up to the arch.

Patch #4 changes the x86 specific 'x86cpu' modalias so it adheres to the syntax
introduced in patch #3. This is not strictly necessary, but it was suggested in
a discussion between H. Peter Anvin, Andi Kleen and myself, i.e., that a generic
solution should also cover the x86 use case (which has 320 feature bits already)
[http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=138384467604799&w=2]

@Peter, Andi: could I please have your ack(s) on patch #2, and possibly on
patch #4 if you still feel that all archs should use the same modalias syntax
(and you are happy with the way I implemented that)

Patch #5 enables the generic 'cpu' feature matching introduced in patch 3 for
arm64.

Patch #6 is an optimization to the arm64 kernel mode NEON code that tries to
avoid pointless saves/restores of the NEON register file.

Patch #7 adds support to the kernel mode NEON code for being called from
interrupt context. It also adds support for partial saves/restores.

Patch #8 implements the AES core cipher.

The series depends on 4bff28ccda2b ("arm64: Add hwcaps for crypto and CRC32
extensions.") which is already in Catalin's tree and in linux-next.

Ard Biesheuvel (8):
arm64: add kernel emulation for AES instructions
x86: move arch_cpu_uevent() to generic code
cpu: advertise CPU features over udev in a generic way
x86: align with generic cpu modalias
arm64: advertise CPU features for modalias matching
arm64: defer reloading a task's FPSIMD state to userland resume
arm64: add support for kernel mode NEON in atomic context
arm64: add Crypto Extensions based synchronous core AES cipher
