Instead of unconditionally forcing 4 byte alignment for all generic
chaining modes that rely on crypto_xor() or crypto_inc() (which may
result in unnecessary copying of data when the underlying hardware
can perform unaligned accesses efficiently), make those functions
deal with unaligned input explicitly, but only if the Kconfig symbol
HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set. This will allow us to drop
the alignmasks from the CBC, CMAC, CTR, CTS, PCBC and SEQIV drivers.

For crypto_inc(), this simply involves making the 4-byte stride
conditional on HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS being set, given that
it typically operates on 16 byte buffers.

For crypto_xor(), an algorithm is implemented that simply runs through
the input using the largest strides possible if unaligned accesses are
allowed. If they are not, an optimal sequence of memory accesses is
emitted that takes the relative alignment of the input buffers into
account, e.g., if the relative misalignment of dst and src is 4 bytes,
the entire xor operation will be completed using 4 byte loads and stores
(modulo unaligned bits at the start and end). Note that all expressions
involving startalign and misalign are simply eliminated by the compiler
if HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is defined.

Hi Ard,

This is a good idea, and I think it was error-prone to be requiring 4-byte
alignment always, and also inefficient on many architectures.

The new crypto_inc() looks fine, but the new crypto_xor() is quite complicated.
I'm wondering whether it has to be that way, especially since it seems to most
commonly be used on very small input buffers, e.g. 8 or 16-byte blocks.  There
are a couple trivial ways it could be simplified, e.g. using 'dst' and 'src'
directly instead of 'a' and 'b' (which also seems to improve code generation by
getting rid of the '+= len & ~mask' parts), or using sizeof(long) directly
instead of 'size' and 'mask'.

But also when I tried testing the proposed crypto_xor() on MIPS, it didn't work
correctly on a misaligned buffer.  With startalign=1, it did one iteration of
the following loop and then exited with startalign=0 and entered the "unsigned
long at a time" loop, which is incorrect since at that point the buffers were
not yet fully aligned:

>			if (len < sizeof(u8))

I think it would need to do instead:

		startalign += sizeof(u8);
		startalign %= sizeof(unsigned long);

But I am wondering whether you considered something simpler, using the
get_unaligned/put_unaligned helpers, maybe even using a switch statement for the
last (sizeof(long) - 1) bytes so it can be compiled as a jump table.  Something
like this:

#define xor_unaligned(dst, src) \
        put_unaligned(get_unaligned(dst) ^ get_unaligned(src), (dst))

void crypto_xor(u8 *dst, const u8 *src, unsigned int len)
{
	while (len >= sizeof(unsigned long)) {
		xor_unaligned((unsigned long *)dst, (unsigned long *)src);
		dst += sizeof(unsigned long);
		src += sizeof(unsigned long);
		len -= sizeof(unsigned long);
	}

	switch (len) {
#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
	case 7:
		dst[6] ^= src[6];
		/* fall through */
	case 6:
		xor_unaligned((u16 *)&dst[4], (u16 *)&src[4]);
		goto len_4;
	case 5:
		dst[4] ^= src[4];
		/* fall through */
	case 4:
	len_4:
		xor_unaligned((u32 *)dst, (u32 *)src);
		break;
#endif
	case 3:
		dst[2] ^= src[2];
		/* fall through */
	case 2:
		xor_unaligned((u16 *)dst, (u16 *)src);
		break;
	case 1:
		dst[0] ^= src[0];
		break;
	}
}

That would seem like a better choice for small buffers, which seems to be the
more common case.  It should generate slightly faster code on architectures with
fast unaligned access like x86_64, while still being sufficient on architectures
without --- perhaps even faster, since it wouldn't have as many branches.

Right. I knew it was convoluted but I thought that was justified by
its correctness :-)

Well, what I tried to deal with explicitly is misaligned dst and src
by, e.g., 4 bytes. In my implementation, the idea was that it would
run through the entire input using 32-bit loads and stores, and the
standard unaligned accessors always take the hit of bytewise accesses
on architectures that don't have hardware support.

But I have an idea how I could simplify this, stay tuned please

Note that popular stream ciphers like chacha or salsa wind up XORing
much longer blocks -- 64 bytes. Likewise, CTR mode tends to XOR using
the block size as well. Not sure whether this is directly relavent for
the decision making here, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.
The XOR for this case should be _fast_, and preferably inlineable.

Another thing that might be helpful is that you can let gcc decide on
the alignment, and then optimize appropriately. Check out what we do
with siphash:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git/tree/include/linux/siphash.h#n76

static inline u64 siphash(const void *data, size_t len, const
siphash_key_t *key)
{
#ifndef CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
        if (!IS_ALIGNED((unsigned long)data, SIPHASH_ALIGNMENT))
                return __siphash_unaligned(data, len, key);
#endif
        return ___siphash_aligned(data, len, key);
}

With this trick, we fall through to the fast alignment-assuming code,
if gcc can prove that the address is inlined. This is often the case
when passing structs, or when passing buffers that have
__aligned(BLOCKSIZE). It proves to be a very useful optimization on
some platforms.

Yes, this is a good idea.  Though it seems that usually at least one of the two
pointers passed to crypto_xor() will have alignment unknown to the compiler,
sometimes the length is constant which inlining can help a lot for.  For
example, if someone does crypto_xor(foo, bar, 16) on x86_64 or ARM64, we'd
really like it to turn into just a few instructions like this:

	mov    (%rsi),%rax
	xor    %rax,(%rdi)
	mov    0x8(%rsi),%rax
	xor    %rax,0x8(%rdi)

So how about inlining crypto_xor() if CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS or
the pointers are long-aligned, otherwise calling an out-of-line function
__crypto_xor_unaligned() that handles all the cases with weird alignment.
Something like the following patch:

(Note: exactly how __crypto_xor_unaligned() is implemented is still debatable;
it could be more similar to Ard's proposal, or it could use the unaligned access
helpers.)diff --git a/crypto/algapi.c b/crypto/algapi.c
