From 64b94ceae8c16cd1b2800cac83112d3815be5250 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jussi Kivilinna Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2011 01:45:22 +0300 Subject: crypto: blowfish - add x86_64 assembly implementation Patch adds x86_64 assembly implementation of blowfish. Two set of assembler functions are provided. First set is regular 'one-block at time' encrypt/decrypt functions. Second is 'four-block at time' functions that gain performance increase on out-of-order CPUs. Performance of 4-way functions should be equal to 1-way functions with in-order CPUs. Summary of the tcrypt benchmarks: Blowfish assembler vs blowfish C (256bit 8kb block ECB) encrypt: 2.2x speed decrypt: 2.3x speed Blowfish assembler vs blowfish C (256bit 8kb block CBC) encrypt: 1.12x speed decrypt: 2.5x speed Blowfish assembler vs blowfish C (256bit 8kb block CTR) encrypt: 2.5x speed Full output: http://koti.mbnet.fi/axh/kernel/crypto/tcrypt-speed-blowfish-asm-x86_64.txt http://koti.mbnet.fi/axh/kernel/crypto/tcrypt-speed-blowfish-c-x86_64.txt Tests were run on: vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 16 model : 10 model name : AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T Processor stepping : 0 Signed-off-by: Jussi Kivilinna Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu --- crypto/Kconfig | 15 +++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) (limited to 'crypto') diff --git a/crypto/Kconfig b/crypto/Kconfig index 108cb98e217..07637745e23 100644 --- a/crypto/Kconfig +++ b/crypto/Kconfig @@ -620,6 +620,21 @@ config CRYPTO_BLOWFISH_COMMON See also: +config CRYPTO_BLOWFISH_X86_64 + tristate "Blowfish cipher algorithm (x86_64)" + depends on (X86 || UML_X86) && 64BIT + select CRYPTO_ALGAPI + select CRYPTO_BLOWFISH_COMMON + help + Blowfish cipher algorithm (x86_64), by Bruce Schneier. + + This is a variable key length cipher which can use keys from 32 + bits to 448 bits in length.
