Subject: [PATCH 04/20] lib/crypto: x86/aes-ecb: Add AES-NI optimization
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 22:08:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921050910.296144-5-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921050910.296144-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
Optimize the crypto library's AES-ECB support with AES-NI, making its
performance be at least at parity with the "ecb-aes-aesni" skcipher
algorithm that it will supersede.
The new assembly functions are written from scratch to fit well into the
crypto library. However, they are functionally very similar to the
functions in arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_asm.S that they will supersede
and are intended to provide parity with those -- including supporting
32-bit mode, having the inner loops do 4 AES blocks per iteration, etc.
