[PATCH v3 1/2] Makefile + hash.h: remove PPC_SHA1 implementation

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

 



Remove the PPC_SHA1 implementation added in a6ef3518f9a ([PATCH] PPC
assembly implementation of SHA1, 2005-04-22). When this was added
Apple consumer hardware used the PPC architecture, and the
implementation was intended to improve SHA-1 speed there.

Since it was added we've moved to using sha1collisiondetection by
default, and anyone wanting hard-rolled non-DC SHA-1 implementation
can use OpenSSL's via the OPENSSL_SHA1 knob.

The PPC_SHA1 originally originally targeted 32 bit PPC, and later the
64 bit PPC 970 (a.k.a. Apple PowerPC G5). See 926172c5e48 (block-sha1:
improve code on large-register-set machines, 2009-08-10) for a
reference about the performance on G5 (a comment in block-sha1/sha1.c
being removed here).

I can't get it to do anything but segfault on both the BE and LE POWER
machines in the GCC compile farm[1]. Anyone who's concerned about
performance on PPC these days is likely to be using the IBM POWER
processors.

There have been proposals to entirely remove non-sha1collisiondetection
implementations from the tree[2]. I think per [3] that would be a bit
overzealous. I.e. there are various set-ups git's speed is going to be
more important than the relatively implausible SHA-1 collision attack,
or where such attacks are entirely mitigated by other means (e.g. by
incoming objects being checked with DC_SHA1).

But that really doesn't apply to PPC_SHA1 in particular, which seems
to have outlived its usefulness.

As this gets rid of the only in-tree *.S assembly file we can remove
the small bits of logic from the Makefile needed to build objects
from *.S (as opposed to *.c)

The code being removed here was also throwing warnings with the
"-pedantic" flag, it could have been fixed as 544d93bc3b4 (block-sha1:
remove use of obsolete x86 assembly, 2022-03-10) did for block-sha1/*,
but as noted above let's remove it instead.

1. https://cfarm.tetaneutral.net/machines/list/
   Tested on gcc{110,112,135,203}, a mixture of POWER [789] ppc64 and
   ppc64le. All segfault in anything needing object
   hashing (e.g. t/t1007-hash-object.sh) when compiled with
   PPC_SHA1=Y.

- * - 20 more rounds of f1(b,c,d)
- *
- * These are all scheduled for near-optimal performance on a G4.
- * The G4 is a 3-issue out-of-order machine with 3 ALUs, but it can only
- * *consider* starting the oldest 3 instructions per cycle.  So to get
- * maximum performance out of it, you have to treat it as an in-order
- * machine.  Which means interleaving the computation round t with the
- * computation of W[t+4].
- *
- * The first 16 rounds use W values loaded directly from memory, while the
- * remaining 64 use values computed from those first 16.  We preload
- * 4 values before starting, so there are three kinds of rounds:
- * - The first 12 (all f0) also load the W values from memory.
- * - The next 64 compute W(i+4) in parallel. 8*f0, 20*f1, 20*f2, 16*f1.
- * - The last 4 (all f1) do not do anything with W.
- *
- * Therefore, we have 6 different round functions:
- * STEPD0_LOAD(t,s) - Perform round t and load W(s).  s < 16
- * STEPD0_UPDATE(t,s) - Perform round t and compute W(s).  s >= 16.
- * STEPD1_UPDATE(t,s)
- * STEPD2_UPDATE(t,s)
- * STEPD1(t) - Perform round t with no load or update.
- *
- * The G5 is more fully out-of-order, and can find the parallelism
- * by itself.  The big limit is that it has a 2-cycle ALU latency, so
- * even though it's 2-way, the code has to be scheduled as if it's
- * 4-way, which can be a limit.  To help it, we try to schedule the
- * read of RA(t) as late as possible so it doesn't stall waiting for
- * the previous round's RE(t-1), and we try to rotate RB(t) as early
