This series fixes the RCU stalls triggered by the x86 crypto
modules discussed in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/MW5PR84MB18426EBBA3303770A8BC0BDFAB759@MW5PR84MB1842.NAMPRD84.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM/

Two root causes were:
- too much data processed between kernel_fpu_begin and
  kernel_fpu_end calls (which are heavily used by the x86
  optimized drivers)
- tcrypt not calling cond_resched during speed test loops

These problems have always been lurking, but improving the
loading of the x86/sha512 module led to it happening a lot
during boot when using SHA-512 for module signature checking. 

Fixing these problems makes it safer to improve loading
the rest of the x86 modules like the sha512 module.

This series only handles the x86 modules.

Testing
=======
The most effective testing was by enabling
  CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS=y

which creates random test vectors and compares the results
of the CPU-optimized function to the generic function,
and running two threads of repeated modprobe commands
to exercise those tests:
  watch -n 0 modprobe tcrypt mode=200
  watch -n 0 ./tcrypt_sweep

where tcrypt_sweep walks through all the test modes:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

my @modes;

open SOURCE, "<", "/home/me/linux/crypto/tcrypt.c" or die $!;
while (<SOURCE>) {
        if (/^\s+case ([0-9]+):$/) {
                push @modes, $1;
        }
}
close SOURCE;

foreach (@modes) {
        print "$_ ";

        # don't run mode 300, which runs 301-399
        # don't run mode 400, which runs 401-499
        if (($_ eq "0") || ($_ eq "300") || ($_ eq "400")) {
                system "echo \"===== Skipping special modprobe tcrypt mode=$_\" > /dev/kmsg";
        } else {
                system "echo \"Running modprobe tcrypt mode=$_\" > /dev/kmsg";
                system "modprobe tcrypt mode=$_";
        }
}

I've instrumented all the x86 crypto modules, including ways to
experiment with different loop sizes. Here are some results with
the hash functions.

Key:
    calls = number of kernel_fpu_begin()/end() calls made by the module
     cost = number of CPU cycles consumed by those calls (overhead)
maxcycles = number of CPU cycles between those calls in FPU context
      bpf = bytes_per_fpu loop size
      KiB = bpf expressed in KiB
   maxlen = maximum number of bytes per loop via update()
  maxlen2 = maximum number of bytes per loop via finup()

This is on a 2.2 GHz Cascade Lake CPU, where each cycle is nominally
0.45 ns.  The CPU does not support SHA-NI instructions, so those
results are missing.

Here are the results from a boot with the avx2 bytes_per_fpu values set
to 0 (unlimited - original behavior).

Booting includes:
  - processing 2.3 GB of SHA-512 kernel module hashes
  - crypto self-tests
  - crypto extra self-tests (CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS=y)

   calls        cost    maxcycles      bpf  KiB   maxlen  maxlen2                algorithm                       module

The self-tests only test small data sets (even the extra tests
limit themselves to PAGE_SIZE * 2) so only the sha512_ssse3
module was stressed with large requests.

The cost of the kernel_fpu_begin()/end() calls (2044882 cycles) was
929 us, and the longest time in FPU context (164510724) was 75 ms.
I think the biggest file it encounters is:
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 48186713 Nov  1 13:14 /lib/modules/6.0.0+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko


I added tcrypt tests to exercise each driver ten times with 1 MiB data,
and that exposes all the drivers to larger requests.

bigbuf tests with no limits:
   calls        cost    maxcycles      bpf  KiB   maxlen  maxlen2                algorithm                       module

Setting bpf limits based on those results narrows the maxcycles in
FPU context. I've seen results vary from 81912 (37 us) to
(102 us) - not real tight, but much better than ranging up
to 75 ms.

bigbuf tests with bytes_per_fpu limits as shown:

If I reboot with sha512-avx2 set to 20 KiB, the sha512-avx2
maxlength can still take a long time (e.g., 2 ms). That's much
better than the original 75 ms, but still not in the 50 us range.

I set /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor to
"performance" in .bash_profile, but that's not effective during
boot, so maybe that is the source of variability.

Example boot with 20 KiB limit:
   calls        cost    maxcycles      bpf  KiB   maxlen  maxlen2                algorithm                       module

Limiting it to 1 KiB does reduce maxcycles to the us range, but
the cost of all the extra calls soars.

So, for v3 of the series, I plan to propose values ranging from:
  - 11 to 20 KiB for sha* amd sm3
  - 200 to 400 Kib for *poly*
  - 600 to 800 KiB for crc*

v3 will only cover the hash functions - skcipher and aead
have some unique challenges that we can tackle later.
