Subject: [PATCH 0/4] crypto: nintendo-aes - add a new AES driver

This engine implements AES in CBC mode, using 128-bit keys only. It is
present on both the Wii and the Wii U, and is apparently identical in
both consoles.

The hardware is capable of firing an interrupt when the operation is
done, but this driver currently uses a busy loop, I’m not too sure
whether it would be preferable to switch, nor how to achieve that.

It also supports a mode where no operation is done, and thus could be
used as a DMA copy engine, but I don’t know how to expose that to the
kernel or whether it would even be useful.

In my testing, on a Wii U, this driver reaches 80.7 MiB/s, while the
aes-generic driver only reaches 30.9 MiB/s, so it is a quite welcome
speedup.

This driver was written based on reversed documentation, see:
https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Hardware/AES

Does this pass the self-tests, including the fuzz tests which are enabled by
CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS=y?

I wasn’t aware of those, and indeed it doesn’t pass them yet:
[ 0.680164] alg: skcipher: cbc-aes-nintendo encryption overran dst buffer on test vector 0, cfg="out-of-place"
[ 0.680201] fbcon: Taking over console
[ 0.680219] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 0.680222] alg: self-tests for cbc-aes-nintendo (cbc(aes)) failed (rc=-75)

I’ll try to figure out how to debug this and I’ll send a v2, thanks for
the hint!

This current seteup will allow the driver to be compile tested for
non-powerpc, which will fail on the dcbf instructions.

Perhaps use this instead:

depends on WII || WIIU || (COMPILE_TEST && PPC)

The kernel uses the SDPX header instead of pasting the text.

This could be flush_dcache_range, from asm/cacheflush.h

You could add a msleep in here?

Consider using readl_poll_timeout().

Hello

Since you do DMA operation, I think you should use the DMA-API and call dma_map_xxx()
This will prevent the use of __asm__ and virt_to_phys().

This is redundant - everybody should test the code they submit.

So is it worthwhile like this? How much faster is it to use this
accelerator rather than the CPU?

Ah apologies for not spotting that. This is a nice speedup.

You should consider latency as well. Is it really necessary to disable
interrupts as well? A scheduling blackout of ~1ms (for the worst case
of 64k of input @ 80 MB/s) may be tolerable but keeping interrupts
disabled for that long is probably not a great idea. (Just make sure
you use spin_lock_bh() to prevent deadlocks that could occur if your
code is called from softirq context)

But using the interrupt is obviously preferred. What's wrong with it?

Btw the crypto API does not permit AES-128 only - you will need to add
a fallback for other key sizes as well.

Or:

depends on PPC
depends on WII || WIIU || COMPILE_TEST

to distinguish between hard and soft dependencies.
