To some degree, most known AArch64 micro-architectures appear to be
able to issue ALU instructions in parellel to SIMD instructions
without affecting the SIMD throughput. This means we can use the ALU
to process a fifth ChaCha block while the SIMD is processing four
blocks in parallel.

Update the 4-way NEON ChaCha routine so it can handle input of any
length >64 bytes in its entirety, rather than having to call into
the 1-way routine and/or memcpy()s via temp buffers to handle the
tail of a ChaCha invocation that is not a multiple of 256 bytes.
On inputs that are a multiple of 256 bytes (and thus in tcrypt

... which agrees with the policy of Kbuild.
Let's move it to scripts/Kbuild.include, with no prerequisites.
Note:
If an intermediate file is generated by $(call if_changed,...), you
still need to add it to "targets" so its .*.cmd file is included.
The arm/arm64 crypto files are generated by $(call cmd,shipped),

In preparation for adding XChaCha12 support, rename/refactor
chacha20-generic to support different numbers of rounds. The
justification for needing XChaCha12 support is explained in more detail
in the patch "crypto: chacha - add XChaCha12 support".
The only difference between ChaCha{8,12,20} are the number of rounds
itself; all other parts of the algorithm are the same. Therefore,
remove the "20" from all definitions, structures, functions, files, etc.
that will be shared by all ChaCha versions.
Also make ->setkey() store the round count in the chacha_ctx (previously
chacha20_ctx). The generic code then passes the round count through to
chacha_block(). There will be a ->setkey() function for each explicitly
allowed round count; the encrypt/decrypt functions will be the same. I
decided not to do it the opposite way (same ->setkey() function for all
round counts, with different encrypt/decrypt functions) because that
would have required more boilerplate code in architecture-specific
implementations of ChaCha and XChaCha.

The Crypto Extension instantiation of the aes-modes.S collection of
skciphers uses only 15 NEON registers for the round key array, whereas
the pure NEON flavor uses 16 NEON registers for the AES S-box.
This means we have a spare register available that we can use to hold
the XTS mask vector, removing the need to reload it at every iteration
of the inner loop.
Since the pure NEON version does not permit this optimization, tweak
the macros so we can factor out this functionality. Also, replace the
literal load with a short sequence to compose the mask vector.

The arm64 implementation of the CRC-T10DIF algorithm uses the 64x64 bit
polynomial multiplication instructions, which are optional in the

to the C routine which is slow and inefficient.
So let's reuse the 64x64 bit PMULL alternative from the GHASH driver that
uses a sequence of ~40 instructions involving 8x8 bit PMULL and some
shifting and masking. This is a lot slower than the original, but it is

Commit 71e52c278c ("crypto: arm64/aes-ce-gcm - operate on
two input blocks at a time") modified the granularity at which
the AES/GCM code processes its input to allow subsequent changes
to be applied that improve performance by using aggregation to
process multiple input blocks at once.
For this reason, it doubled the algorithm's 'chunksize' property
to 2 x AES_BLOCK_SIZE, but retained the non-SIMD fallback path that
processes a single block at a time. In some cases, this violates the
skcipher scatterwalk API, by calling skcipher_walk_done() with a
non-zero residue value for a chunk that is expected to be handled
in its entirety. This results in a WARN_ON() to be hit by the TLS
self test code, but is likely to break other user cases as well.
Unfortunately, none of the current test cases exercises this exact
code path at the moment.

As it turns out, checking the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag after each
iteration results in a significant performance regression (~10%)
when running fast algorithms (i.e., ones that use special instructions
and operate in the < 4 cycles per byte range) on in-order cores with
comparatively slow memory accesses such as the Cortex-A53.
Given the speed of these ciphers, and the fact that the page based
nature of the AEAD scatterwalk API guarantees that the core NEON
transform is never invoked with more than a single page's worth of
input, we can estimate the worst case duration of any resulting
scheduling blackout: on a 1 GHz Cortex-A53 running with 64k pages,
processing a page's worth of input at 4 cycles per byte results in
a delay of ~250 us, which is a reasonable upper bound.
So let's remove the yield checks from the fused AES-CCM and AES-GCM

GNU Make automatically deletes intermediate files that are updated
in a chain of pattern rules.
Example 1) %.dtb.o <- %.dtb.S <- %.dtb <- %.dts
Example 2) %.o <- %.c <- %.c_shipped
A couple of makefiles mark such targets as .PRECIOUS to prevent Make
from deleting them, but the correct way is to use .SECONDARY.
.SECONDARY
Prerequisites of this special target are treated as intermediate
files but are never automatically deleted.
.PRECIOUS
When make is interrupted during execution, it may delete the target
file it is updating if the file was modified since make started.
If you mark the file as precious, make will never delete the file
if interrupted.
Both can avoid deletion of intermediate files, but the difference is
the behavior when Make is interrupted; .SECONDARY deletes the target,
but .PRECIOUS does not.
The use of .PRECIOUS is relatively rare since we do not want to keep
partially constructed (possibly corrupted) targets.
Another difference is that .PRECIOUS works with pattern rules whereas
.SECONDARY does not.
.PRECIOUS: $(obj)/%.lex.c
works, but
.SECONDARY: $(obj)/%.lex.c
has no effect. However, for the reason above, I do not want to use
.PRECIOUS which could cause obscure build breakage.
The targets specified as .SECONDARY must be explicit. $(targets)
contains all targets that need to include .*.cmd files. So, the
intermediates you want to keep are mostly in there. Therefore, mark
$(targets) as .SECONDARY. It means primary targets are also marked
as .SECONDARY, but I do not see any drawback for this.
I replaced some .SECONDARY / .PRECIOUS markers with 'targets'. This
will make Kbuild search for non-existing .*.cmd files, but this is
not a noticeable performance issue.
