Hello, This series optimizes the Adiantum encryption mode for x86_64 by adding SSE2 and AVX2 accelerated implementations of NHPoly1305, specifically the NH part; and by modifying the existing x86_64 SSSE3/AVX2/AVX-512VL ChaCha20 implementation to support XChaCha20 and XChaCha12. This greatly improves Adiantum performance on x86_64. For example, encrypting 4096-byte messages (single-threaded) on a Skylake-based processor (Intel Xeon, supports AVX-512VL and AVX2): Before After -------- --------- adiantum(xchacha12,aes) 348 MB/s 1458 MB/s adiantum(xchacha20,aes) 265 MB/s 1240 MB/s And on a Zen-based processor (Threadripper 1950X, supports AVX2): Before After -------- --------- adiantum(xchacha12,aes) 505 MB/s 1250 MB/s adiantum(xchacha20,aes) 387 MB/s 989 MB/s Decryption is almost exactly the same speed as encryption. The biggest benefit comes from accelerating XChaCha. Accelerating NH gives a somewhat smaller, but still significant benefit. Performance on 512-byte inputs is also improved, though that is much slower in the first place. When Adiantium is used with dm-crypt (or cryptsetup), we recommend using a 4096-byte sector size. For comparison, AES-256-XTS is 2699 MB/s on the Skylake CPU and 4140 MB/s on the Zen CPU. However, AES has the benefit of direct AES-NI hardware support whereas Adiantum is implemented entirely with general-purpose instructions (scalar and SIMD). Adiantum is also a super-pseudorandom permutation over the entire sector, unlike XTS. Note that XChaCha20 and XChaCha12 can be used for other purposes too. Changed since v1: - Rebase on top of latest cryptodev with the AVX-512VL accelerated ChaCha20 from Martin Willi.
