Subject: [PATCH riscv/for-next] crypto: riscv - parallelize AES-CBC decryption

From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>

Since CBC decryption is parallelizable, make the RISC-V implementation
of AES-CBC decryption process multiple blocks at a time, instead of
processing the blocks one by one. This should improve performance.

Do we need to setup the `e32, len=t0` for next IV?
I think we only need 128bit IV (with VL=4).

Same VL issue here.

It's true that the vslidedown.vx and vmv.v.v only need vl=4. But it also works
fine with vl unchanged. It just results in some extra data being moved in the
registers. My hypothesis is that this is going to be faster than having the
three extra instructions per loop iteration to change the vl to 4 twice.

I still have no real hardware to test on, so I have no quantitative data. All I
can do is go with my instinct which is that the shorter version will be better.

If you have access to a real CPU that supports the RISC-V vector crypto
extensions, I'd be interested in the performance you get from each variant.
(Of course, different RISC-V CPU implementations may have quite different
performance characteristics, so that still won't be definitive.)

Here is the alternative variant given as a diff from this patch:

A third variant would be to just replace vmv.v.v with vmv1r.v.

In general, this level of micro-optimization probably needs to be wait until
there are a variety of CPUs to test on. We know that parallelizing the
algorithms is helpful, so we should do that, as this patch does. But the
effects of small variations in the instruction sequences are currently unclear.

Hi Eric,
Thank you. I think the extra vl doesn't affect performance significantly. The main
tasks are still the aes body.
The original implementation is enough right now.

We're stacking up a lot of stuff with HW-dependent performance
questions, I think it's fine to just take what's reasonably simple for
now. If we try to speculate about what future hardware might do we're
just going to go crazy with possibilities, IMO we're way better off just
optimizing as things show up.

Ya, I agree. So I'm fine with this, it's a base and we can always
improve it when there's something concrete to run on.
