[v4,00/19] Wire up CRC32 library functions to arch-optimized code

Message

Eric Biggers Dec. 2, 2024, 1:08 a.m. UTC

This patchset applies to v6.13-rc1 and is also available in git via:

    git fetch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux.git crc32-lib-v4

CRC32 is a family of common non-cryptographic integrity check algorithms
that are fairly fast with a portable C implementation and become far
faster still with the CRC32 or carryless multiplication instructions
that most CPUs have.  9 architectures already have optimized code for at
least some CRC32 variants; however, except for arm64 this optimized code
was only accessible through the crypto API, not the library functions.

This patchset fixes that so that the CRC32 library functions use the
optimized code.  This allows users to just use the library instead of
the crypto API.  This is much simpler and also improves performance due
to eliminating the crypto API overhead including an indirect call.  Some
examples of updating users are included at the end of the patchset.

Note: crc32c() was a weird case.  It was a library function layered on
top of the crypto API, which in turn is layered on top of the real
library functions.  So while it was easy to use, it was still subject to
the crypto API overhead.  This patchset provides CRC32C acceleration in
the real library functions directly.

The updated CRC32 library design is:

- Each arch's CRC32 code (all variants) is in arch/$ARCH/lib/crc32*.
  This adopts what arm64 and riscv already did.  Note, the crypto
  directory is not used because CRC32 is not a cryptographic algorithm.

- Weak symbols are no longer used.  Instead there are crc32*_base() and
  crc32*_arch(), and the appropriate ones are called based on the
  kconfig.  This is similar to how the ChaCha20 library code works.

- Each arch's CRC32 library code is enabled by default when CRC32 is
  enabled, but it can now be disabled, controlled by the choice that
  previously controlled the base implementation only.  It can also now
  be built as a module if CRC32 is a module too, in which case it will
  be automatically loaded via direct symbol dependency when appropriate.

- Instead of lots of pointless glue code that wires up each CRC32
  variant to the crypto API for each architecture, we now just rely on
  the existing shash algorithms that use the library functions.

- As before, the library functions don't provide access to off-CPU
  crypto accelerators.  But these appear to have very little, if any,
  real-world relevance for CRC32 which is very fast on CPUs.

A separate patchset applies a similar cleanup to CRC-T10DIF.

Changed in v4:
  - Rebased onto v6.13-rc1.
  - Removed no-longer-needed CFI stubs from arch/arm/lib/crc32-core.S.
  - Removed no-longer-needed definition of JBD_MAX_CHECKSUM_SIZE from jbd2.h.
  - Removed no-longer-needed inclusion of <crypto/hash.h> from f2fs.h.
  - Merged 'if' statements with the same condition in jbd2_journal_set_features.
  - Added bcachefs dependency patch, as it wasn't merged in 6.13 as expected.
  - Reordered CPU feature checks to before crypto_simd_usable(), so that
    crypto_simd_usable() doesn't get called unnecessarily.
  - For loongarch, use cpu_has_crc32() instead of cpu_has(CPU_FEATURE_CRC32),
    for consistency with the rest of the loongarch code.
  - Correctly set the new dependencies of CRYPTO_VPMSUM_TESTER.
  - Added Reviewed-by's and Acked-by's.

Changed in v3:
  - Replaced crc32_optimizations global variable with
    crc32_optimizations() function.
  - Make ISCSI_TARGET keep selecting CRYPTO_HASH, since
    iscsi_target_auth.c still uses the shash API for other algorithms.

Changed in v2:
  - Added a way to determine if the arch-optimized code is actually
    being used at runtime, and used this to register the appropriate
    shash algorithms with crypto API.
  - Added a patch that converts iSCSI to use the library.
  - Listed a bcachefs patch as a dependency.
  - Added Ard's Reviewed-by.
