The current aesni AES-GCM implementation only offers support for rfc4106(gcm(aes)). This makes some things a little bit simpler (handling of associated data and authentication tag), but it means that non-IPsec users of gcm(aes) have to rely on gcm_base(ctr-aes-aesni,ghash-clmulni), which is much slower. This patchset adds handling of all valid authentication tag lengths and of any associated data length to the assembly code, and exposes a generic gcm(aes) AEAD algorithm to the crypto API. With these patches, performance of MACsec on a single core increases by 40% (from 4.5Gbps to around 6.3Gbps).
