crypto: arm64/gcm - implement native driver using v8 Crypto Extensions
Currently, the AES-GCM implementation for arm64 systems that support the
ARMv8 Crypto Extensions is based on the generic GCM module, which combines
the AES-CTR implementation using AES instructions with the PMULL based
GHASH driver. This is suboptimal, given the fact that the input data needs
to be loaded twice, once for the encryption and again for the MAC
calculation.
On Cortex-A57 (r1p2) and other recent cores that implement micro-op fusing
for the AES instructions, AES executes at less than 1 cycle per byte, which
means that any cycles wasted on loading the data twice hurt even more.
So implement a new GCM driver that combines the AES and PMULL instructions
at the block level. This improves performance on Cortex-A57 by ~37% (from
3.5 cpb to 2.6 cpb)
