[PATCH v3 1/8] crypto: shash - add support for finup_mb

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

Most cryptographic hash functions are serialized, in the sense that they
have an internal block size and the blocks must be processed serially.
(BLAKE3 is a notable exception that has tree-based hashing built-in, but
all the more common choices such as the SHAs and BLAKE2 are serialized.
ParallelHash and Sakura are parallel hashes based on SHA3, but SHA3 is
much slower than SHA256 in software even with the ARMv8 SHA3 extension.)

This limits the performance of computing a single hash.  Yet, computing
multiple hashes simultaneously does not have this limitation.  Modern
CPUs are superscalar and often can execute independent instructions in
parallel.  As a result, on many modern CPUs, it is possible to hash two
equal-length messages in about the same time as a single message, if all
the instructions are interleaved.

Meanwhile, a very common use case for hashing in the Linux kernel is
dm-verity and fs-verity.  Both use a Merkle tree that has a fixed block
size, usually 4096 bytes with an empty or 32-byte salt prepended.  The
hash algorithm is usually SHA-256.  Usually, many blocks need to be
hashed at a time.  This is an ideal scenario for multibuffer hashing.

Linux actually used to support SHA-256 multibuffer hashing on x86_64,
before it was removed by commit ab8085c130ed ("crypto: x86 - remove SHA
multibuffer routines and mcryptd").  However, it was integrated with the
crypto API in a weird way, where it behaved as an asynchronous hash that
queued up and executed all requests on a global queue.  This made it
very complex, buggy, and virtually unusable.

This patch takes a new approach of just adding an API
crypto_shash_finup_mb() that synchronously computes the hash of multiple
equal-length messages, starting from a common state that represents the
(possibly empty) common prefix shared by the messages.

The new API is part of the "shash" algorithm type, as it does not make
sense in "ahash".  It does a "finup" operation rather than a "digest"
operation in order to support the salt that is used by dm-verity and
fs-verity.  The data and output buffers are provided in arrays of length
@num_msgs in order to make the API itself extensible to interleaving
factors other than 2.  (Though, initially only 2x will actually be used.
There are some platforms in which a higher factor could help, but there
are significant trade-offs.)
