    Subject[RFC V1 0/7] Introduce AVX512 optimized crypto algorithms
    Date
    Optimize crypto algorithms using VPCLMULQDQ and VAES AVX512 instructions
    (first implemented on Intel's Icelake client and Xeon CPUs).

    These algorithms take advantage of the AVX512 registers to keep the CPU
    busy and increase memory bandwidth utilization. They provide substantial
    (2-10x) improvements over existing crypto algorithms when update data size
    is greater than 128 bytes and do not have any significant impact when used
    on small amounts of data.

    However, these algorithms may also incur a frequency penalty and cause
    collateral damage to other workloads running on the same core(co-scheduled
    threads). These frequency drops are also known as bin drops where 1 bin
    drop is around 100MHz. With the SpecCPU and ffmpeg benchmark, a 0-1 bin
    drop(0-100MHz) is observed on Icelake desktop and 0-2 bin drops (0-200Mhz)
    are observed on the Icelake server.

    The AVX512 optimization are disabled by default to avoid impact on other
    workloads. In order to use these optimized algorithms:
    1. At compile time:
    a. User must enable CONFIG_CRYPTO_AVX512 option
    b. Toolchain(assembler) must support VAES or VPCLMULQDQ instructions
    2. At run time:
    a. User must set module parameter use_avx512 at boot time
    (<module_name>.use_avx512 = 1) or post boot using sysfs
    (echo 1 > /sys/module/<module_name>/parameters/use_avx512).
    (except for aesni ctr and gcm which require boot time initialization
    because of commit 0fbafd06bdde ("crypto: aesni - fix failing setkey for
    rfc4106-gcm-aesni")
    b. Platform must support VPCLMULQDQ or VAES features

    N.B. It is unclear whether these coarse grain controls(global module
    parameter) would meet all user needs. Perhaps some per-thread control might
    be useful? Looking for guidance here.

    Other implementations of these crypto algorithms are possible, which would
    result in lower crypto performance but would not cause collateral damage
    from frequency drops (AVX512L vs AVX512VL).

    The following crypto algorithms are optimized using AVX512 registers:

    1. "by16" implementation of T10 Data Integrity Field CRC16 (CRC T10 DIF)
    The "by16" means the main loop processes 256 bytes (16 * 16 bytes) at
    a time in CRC T10 DIF calculation. This algorithm is optimized using
    the VPCLMULQDQ instruction which is the encoded 512 bit version of
    PCLMULQDQ instruction. On an Icelake desktop, with constant frequency
    set, the "by16" CRC T10 DIF AVX512 optimization shows about 1.5X
    improvement when the bytes per update size is 1KB or above as measured
    by the tcrypt module.

    2. GHASH computations with vectorized instruction.
    VPCLMULQDQ instruction is used to accelerate the most time-consuming
    part of GHASH, carry-less multiplication. For best parallelism and
    deeper out of order execution, the main loop of the code works on 16x16
    byte blocks at a time and performs reduction every 48 x 16 byte blocks.
    Optimized GHASH computations show a 4x to 10x speedup when the bytes
    per update is 256B or above.

    3. "by16" implementation of the AES CTR mode using VAES instructions
    "by16" means that 16 independent blocks (each 128 bits) can be ciphered
    simultaneously. On an Icelake desktop, with constant frequency set, the
    "by16" AES CTR mode shows about 2X improvement when the bytes per update
    size is 256B or above as measured by the tcrypt module.

    4. AES GCM using VPCLMULQDQ instructions
    Using AVX 512 registers, an average increase of 2X is observed when the
    bytes per update size is 256B or above as measured by tcrypt module.

    Patch 1 checks for assembler support for VPCLMULQDQ instruction
    Patch 2 introduces CRC T10 DIF calculation with VPCLMULQDQ instructions
    Patch 3 introduces optimized GHASH computation with VPCLMULQDQ instructions
    Patch 4 adds new speed test for optimized GHASH computations
    Patch 5 introduces "by 16" version of AES CTR mode using VAES instructions
    Patch 6 fixes coding style in existing if else block
    Patch 7 introduces the AES GCM mode using VPCLMULQDQ instructions

    Complex sign off chain in patches 2 and 3. Original implementation (non
    kernel) was done by Intel's IPsec team. Kyung Min Park is the author of
    Patch 2 and co-author of patch 3 along with me.

    Also, most of this code is related to crypto subsystem. X86 mailing list is
    copied here because of Patch 1.
