      async_tx: add the async_tx api · 9bc89cd8
      Dan Williams 提交于
      The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
      bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
      dependencies.  It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
      the details of different hardware offload engine implementations.  Code
      that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the
      api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources. 
       
      	I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the
      	'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as
      	appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown
      
      async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to
      provide an api of the following general format:
      
      struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *
      async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx,
      			dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param)
      {
      	struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>);
      	struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL;
      	int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0;
      	struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ?
      		device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL;
      
      	if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */
      		...
      		tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index);
      		...
      		tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index);
      		...
      		async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
      	} else { /* run <operation> synchronously */
      		...
      		<operation>
      		...
      		async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
      	}
      
      	return tx;
      }
      
      async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool.  The
      channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers.  The
      async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays.  In the
      uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility
      evenly over channels of similar capabilities.  For example if there are two
      copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will
      handle xor.  In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the
      operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor
      channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1.  When a
      dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the
      operation on the same channel.  A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one
      channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will
      transition between a copy and a xor resource.
      
      Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been
      converted to the async_tx api.  A driver for the offload engines on the
      Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later
      commit.  With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload
      copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines.
       
      On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30%
      improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55%
      improvement).  For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few
      percentage points.  On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx
      implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points
      of the original implementation.  According to 'top' on iop342 CPU
      utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed
      according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s.
       
      The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048
      --block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5
      * iop342 had 1GB of memory available
      
      Details:
      * if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making
        async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL
      * when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will
        fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a
        tasklet.  if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live
        polling wait will be performed
      * the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available
        channels
      * In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch
        interrupts.  The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes
        pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel
      * Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software
        xor routine.  To the software routine the destination address is an implied
        source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination.  This patch
        modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address
        to mirror the hardware.
      
      Changelog:
      * fixed a leftover debug print
      * don't allow callbacks in async_interrupt_cond
      * fixed xor_block changes
      * fixed usage of ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DEST

      * introduce the channel_table_initialized flag to prevent early calls to
        the api

      xor: make 'xor_blocks' a library routine for use with async_tx · 685784aa
      Dan Williams 提交于
      The async_tx api tries to use a dma engine for an operation, but will fall
      back to an optimized software routine otherwise.  Xor support is
      implemented using the raid5 xor routines.  For organizational purposes this
      routine is moved to a common area.
      
      The following fixes are also made:
      * rename xor_block => xor_blocks, suggested by Adrian Bunk
      * ensure that xor.o initializes before md.o in the built-in case
      * checkpatch.pl fixes
      * mark calibrate_xor_blocks __init, Adrian Bunk

      [CRYPTO] Add x86_64 asm AES · a2a892a2
      Andreas Steinmetz 提交于
      Implementation:
      ===============
      The encrypt/decrypt code is based on an x86 implementation I did a while
      ago which I never published. This unpublished implementation does
      include an assembler based key schedule and precomputed tables. For
      simplicity and best acceptance, however, I took Gladman's in-kernel code
      for table generation and key schedule for the kernel port of my
      assembler code and modified this code to produce the key schedule as
      required by my assembler implementation. File locations and Kconfig are
      kept similar to the i586 AES assembler implementation.
      It may seem a little bit strange to use 32 bit I/O and registers in the
      assembler implementation but this gives the best code size. My
      implementation takes one instruction more per round compared to
      Gladman's x86 assembler but it doesn't require any stack for local
      variables or saved registers and it is less serialized than Gladman's
      code.
      Note that all comparisons to Gladman's code were done after my code was
      implemented. I did only use FIPS PUB 197 for the implementation so my
      implementation is independent work.
      If anybody has a better assembler solution for x86_64 I'll be pleased to
      have my code replaced with the better solution.
      
      Testing:
      ========
      The implementation passes the in-kernel crypto testing module and I'm
      running it without any problems on my laptop where it is mainly used for
      dm-crypt.
      
      Microbenchmark:
      ===============
      The microbenchmark was done in userspace with similar compile flags as
      used during kernel compile.
      Encrypt/decrypt is about 35% faster than the generic C implementation.
      As the generic C as well as my assembler implementation are both table
      I don't really expect that there is much room for further
      improvements though I'll be glad to be corrected here.
      The key schedule is about 5% slower than the generic C implementation.
      This is due to the fact that some more work has to be done in the key
      schedule routine to fit the schedule to the assembler implementation.
      
      Code Size:
      ==========
      Encrypt and decrypt are together about 2.1 Kbytes smaller than the
      generic C implementation which is important with regard to L1 cache
      usage. The key schedule routine is about 100 bytes larger than the
      generic C implementation.
      
      Data Size:
      ==========
      There's no difference in data size requirements between the assembler
      implementation and the generic C implementation.
      
      License:
      ========
      Gladmans's code is dual BSD/GPL whereas my assembler code is GPLv2 only
      (I'm  not going to change the license for my code). So I had to change
      the module license for the x86_64 aes module from 'Dual BSD/GPL' to
      'GPL' to reflect the most restrictive license within the module.

      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
