crypto: lib/Kconfig - Hide arch options from user

The ARCH_MAY_HAVE patch missed arm64, mips and s390. But it may
also lead to arch options being enabled but ineffective because
of modular/built-in conflicts.

As the primary user of all these options wireguard is selecting
the arch options anyway, make the same selections at the lib/crypto
option level and hide the arch options from the user.

Instead of selecting them centrally from lib/crypto, simply set
the default of each arch option as suggested by Eric Biggers.

Change the Crypto API generic algorithms to select the top-level
lib/crypto options instead of the generic one as otherwise there
is no way to enable the arch options (Eric Biggers). Introduce a
set of INTERNAL options to work around dependency cycles on the
CONFIG_CRYPTO symbol.

crypto: lib/Kconfig - Fix lib built-in failure when arch is modular

The HAVE_ARCH Kconfig options in lib/crypto try to solve the
modular versus built-in problem, but it still fails when the
the LIB option (e.g., CRYPTO_LIB_CURVE25519) is selected externally.

Fix this by introducing a level of indirection with ARCH_MAY_HAVE
Kconfig options, these then go on to select the ARCH_HAVE options
if the ARCH Kconfig options matches that of the LIB option.

crypto: arm/aes-neonbs - go back to using aes-arm directly

In aes-neonbs, instead of going through the crypto API for the parts
that the bit-sliced AES code doesn't handle, namely AES-CBC encryption
and single-block AES, just call the ARM scalar AES cipher directly.

This basically goes back to the original approach that was used before
commit b56f5cbc7e08 ("crypto: arm/aes-neonbs - resolve fallback cipher
at runtime"). Calling the ARM scalar AES cipher directly is faster,
simpler, and avoids any chance of bugs specific to the use of fallback
ciphers such as module loading deadlocks which have happened twice. The
deadlocks turned out to be fixable in other ways, but there's no need to
rely on anything so fragile in the first place.

The rationale for the above-mentioned commit was to allow people to
choose to use a time-invariant AES implementation for the fallback
cipher. There are a couple problems with that rationale, though:

- In practice the ARM scalar AES cipher (aes-arm) was used anyway, since
it has a higher priority than aes-fixed-time. Users *could* go out of
their way to disable or blacklist aes-arm, or to lower its priority
using NETLINK_CRYPTO, but very few users customize the crypto API to
this extent. Systems with the ARMv8 Crypto Extensions used aes-ce,
but the bit-sliced algorithms are irrelevant on such systems anyway.

- Since commit 913a3aa07d16 ("crypto: arm/aes - add some hardening
against cache-timing attacks"), the ARM scalar AES cipher is partially
hardened against cache-timing attacks. It actually works like
aes-fixed-time, in that it disables interrupts and prefetches its
lookup table. It does use a larger table than aes-fixed-time, but
even so, it is not clear that aes-fixed-time is meaningfully more
time-invariant than aes-arm. And of course, the real solution for
time-invariant AES is to use a CPU that supports AES instructions.

ARM: 9286/1: crypto: Implement fused AES-CTR/GHASH version of GCM

On 32-bit ARM, AES in GCM mode takes full advantage of the ARMv8 Crypto
Extensions when available, resulting in a performance of 6-7 cycles per
byte for typical IPsec frames on cores such as Cortex-A53, using the
generic GCM template encapsulating the accelerated AES-CTR and GHASH
implementations.

At such high rates, any time spent copying data or doing other poorly
optimized work in the generic layer hurts disproportionately, and we can
get a significant performance improvement by combining the optimized
AES-CTR and GHASH implementations into a single GCM driver.

On Cortex-A53, this results in a performance improvement of around 75%,
and AES-256-GCM-128 with RFC4106 encapsulation runs in 4 cycles per
byte.

Note that this code takes advantage of the fact that kernel mode NEON is
now supported in softirq context as well, and therefore does not provide
a non-NEON fallback path at all. (AEADs are only callable in process or
softirq context)

it is reflected in the module .ko filename, and changing this might

Importantly, this fixs a bug in which the lib code depends on
crypto_simd_disabled_for_test, causing linker errors.

Also add more alignment tests to the selftests and compare SIMD and
non-SIMD compression functions, to make up for what we lose from

crypto: arm/blake2b - add NEON-accelerated BLAKE2b

Add a NEON-accelerated implementation of BLAKE2b.

On Cortex-A7 (which these days is the most common ARM processor that
doesn't have the ARMv8 Crypto Extensions), this is over twice as fast as
SHA-256, and slightly faster than SHA-1. It is also almost three times
as fast as the generic implementation of BLAKE2b:

Algorithm Cycles per byte (on 4096-byte messages)
=================== =======================================
blake2b-256-neon 14.0
sha1-neon 16.3
blake2s-256-arm 18.8
sha1-asm 20.8
blake2s-256-generic 26.0
sha256-neon 28.9
sha256-asm 32.0
blake2b-256-generic 38.9

This implementation isn't directly based on any other implementation,
but it borrows some ideas from previous NEON code I've written as well
as from chacha-neon-core.S. At least on Cortex-A7, it is faster than
the other NEON implementations of BLAKE2b I'm aware of (the
implementation in the BLAKE2 official repository using intrinsics, and
Andrew Moon's implementation which can be found in SUPERCOP). It does
only one block at a time, so it performs well on short messages too.

NEON-accelerated BLAKE2b is useful because there is interest in using
BLAKE2b-256 for dm-verity on low-end Android devices (specifically,
devices that lack the ARMv8 Crypto Extensions) to replace SHA-1. On
these devices, the performance cost of upgrading to SHA-256 may be
unacceptable, whereas BLAKE2b-256 would actually improve performance.

Although BLAKE2b is intended for 64-bit platforms (unlike BLAKE2s which
is intended for 32-bit platforms), on 32-bit ARM processors with NEON,
BLAKE2b is actually faster than BLAKE2s. This is because NEON supports
64-bit operations, and because BLAKE2s's block size is too small for
NEON to be helpful for it. The best I've been able to do with BLAKE2s
on Cortex-A7 is 18.8 cpb with an optimized scalar implementation.

(I didn't try BLAKE2sp and BLAKE3, which in theory would be faster, but
they're more complex as they require running multiple hashes at once.
Note that BLAKE2b already uses all the NEON bandwidth on the Cortex-A7,
so I expect that any speedup from BLAKE2sp or BLAKE3 would come only
from the smaller number of rounds, not from the extra parallelism.)

For now this BLAKE2b implementation is only wired up to the shash API,
since there is no library API for BLAKE2b yet. However, I've tried to
keep things consistent with BLAKE2s, e.g. by defining
blake2b_compress_arch() which is analogous to blake2s_compress_arch()
and could be exported for use by the library API later if needed.

crypto: arm/blake2s - add ARM scalar optimized BLAKE2s

Add an ARM scalar optimized implementation of BLAKE2s.

NEON isn't very useful for BLAKE2s because the BLAKE2s block size is too
small for NEON to help. Each NEON instruction would depend on the
previous one, resulting in poor performance.

With scalar instructions, on the other hand, we can take advantage of
ARM's "free" rotations (like I did in chacha-scalar-core.S) to get an
implementation get runs much faster than the C implementation.

Performance results on Cortex-A7 in cycles per byte using the shash API:

4096-byte messages:
blake2s-256-arm: 18.8
blake2s-256-generic: 26.0

500-byte messages:
blake2s-256-arm: 20.3
blake2s-256-generic: 27.9

100-byte messages:
blake2s-256-arm: 29.7
blake2s-256-generic: 39.2

32-byte messages:
blake2s-256-arm: 50.6
blake2s-256-generic: 66.2

Except on very short messages, this is still slower than the NEON
implementation of BLAKE2b which I've written; that is 14.0, 16.4, 25.8,
and 76.1 cpb on 4096, 500, 100, and 32-byte messages, respectively.
However, optimized BLAKE2s is useful for cases where BLAKE2s is used
instead of BLAKE2b, such as WireGuard.

This new implementation is added in the form of a new module
blake2s-arm.ko, which is analogous to blake2s-x86_64.ko in that it
provides blake2s_compress_arch() for use by the library API as well as
optionally register the algorithms with the shash API.

compiler/gcc: Raise minimum GCC version for kernel builds to 4.8

It is very rare to see versions of GCC prior to 4.8 being used to build
the mainline kernel. These old compilers are also know to have codegen
issues which can lead to silent miscompilation:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145

Raise the minimum GCC version for kernel build to 4.8 and remove some
tautological Kconfig dependencies as a consequence.

crypto: arm/curve25519 - wire up NEON implementation

This ports the SUPERCOP implementation for usage in kernel space. In
addition to the usual header, macro, and style changes required for
kernel space, it makes a few small changes to the code:

- The stack alignment is relaxed to 16 bytes.
- Superfluous mov statements have been removed.
- ldr for constants has been replaced with movw.
- ldreq has been replaced with moveq.
- The str epilogue has been made more idiomatic.
- SIMD registers are not pushed and popped at the beginning and end.
- The prologue and epilogue have been made idiomatic.
- A hole has been removed from the stack, saving 32 bytes.
- We write-back the base register whenever possible for vld1.8.
- Some multiplications have been reordered for better A7 performance.

There are more opportunities for cleanup, since this code is from qhasm,
which doesn't always do the most opportune thing. But even prior to
extensive hand optimizations, this code delivers significant performance
improvements (given in get_cycles() per call):

crypto: arm/chacha - expose ARM ChaCha routine as library function

Expose the accelerated NEON ChaCha routine directly as a symbol
export so that users of the ChaCha library API can use it directly.

Given that calls into the library API will always go through the
routines in this module if it is enabled, switch to static keys
to select the optimal implementation available (which may be none
at all, in which case we defer to the generic implementation for
all invocations).

crypto: arm/chacha - remove dependency on generic ChaCha driver

Instead of falling back to the generic ChaCha skcipher driver for
non-SIMD cases, use a fast scalar implementation for ARM authored
by Eric Biggers. This removes the module dependency on chacha-generic
altogether, which also simplifies things when we expose the ChaCha
library interface from this module.

crypto: arm - use Kconfig based compiler checks for crypto opcodes

Instead of allowing the Crypto Extensions algorithms to be selected when
using a toolchain that does not support them, and complain about it at
build time, use the information we have about the compiler to prevent
them from being selected in the first place. Users that are stuck with
a GCC version <4.8 are unlikely to care about these routines anyway, and
it cleans up the Makefile considerably.

While at it, add explicit 'armv8-a' CPU specifiers to the code that uses
the 'crypto-neon-fp-armv8' FPU specifier so we don't regress Clang, which
will complain about this in version 10 and later.
