Ard Biesheuvel 001eabfd54 crypto: arm/aes update NEON AES module to latest OpenSSL version
This updates the bit sliced AES module to the latest version in the
upstream OpenSSL repository (e620e5ae37bc). This is needed to fix a
bug in the XTS decryption path, where data chunked in a certain way
could trigger the ciphertext stealing code, which is not supposed to
be active in the kernel build (The kernel implementation of XTS only
supports round multiples of the AES block size of 16 bytes, whereas
the conformant OpenSSL implementation of XTS supports inputs of
arbitrary size by applying ciphertext stealing). This is fixed in
the upstream version by adding the missing #ifndef XTS_CHAIN_TWEAK
around the offending instructions.

The upstream code also contains the change applied by Russell to
build the code unconditionally, i.e., even if __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ < 7,
but implemented slightly differently.

Russell King d2eca20d77 CRYPTO: Fix more AES build errors
Building a multi-arch kernel results in:

arch/arm/crypto/built-in.o: In function `aesbs_xts_decrypt':
sha1_glue.c:(.text+0x15c8): undefined reference to `bsaes_xts_decrypt'
arch/arm/crypto/built-in.o: In function `aesbs_xts_encrypt':
sha1_glue.c:(.text+0x1664): undefined reference to `bsaes_xts_encrypt'
arch/arm/crypto/built-in.o: In function `aesbs_ctr_encrypt':
sha1_glue.c:(.text+0x184c): undefined reference to `bsaes_ctr32_encrypt_blocks'
arch/arm/crypto/built-in.o: In function `aesbs_cbc_decrypt':
sha1_glue.c:(.text+0x19b4): undefined reference to `bsaes_cbc_encrypt'

This code is already runtime-conditional on NEON being supported, so
there's no point compiling it out depending on the minimum build
architecture.

Ard Biesheuvel e4e7f10bfc ARM: add support for bit sliced AES using NEON instructions
Bit sliced AES gives around 45% speedup on Cortex-A15 for encryption
and around 25% for decryption. This implementation of the AES algorithm
does not rely on any lookup tables so it is believed to be invulnerable
to cache timing attacks.

This algorithm processes up to 8 blocks in parallel in constant time. This
means that it is not usable by chaining modes that are strictly sequential
in nature, such as CBC encryption. CBC decryption, however, can benefit from
this implementation and runs about 25% faster. The other chaining modes
implemented in this module, XTS and CTR, can execute fully in parallel in
both directions.

The core code has been adopted from the OpenSSL project (in collaboration
with the original author, on cc). For ease of maintenance, this version is
identical to the upstream OpenSSL code, i.e., all modifications that were
required to make it suitable for inclusion into the kernel have been made
upstream. The original can be found here:

    http://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commit;h=6f6a6130

Note to integrators:
While this implementation is significantly faster than the existing table
based ones (generic or ARM asm), especially in CTR mode, the effects on
power efficiency are unclear as of yet. This code does fundamentally more
work, by calculating values that the table based code obtains by a simple
lookup; only by doing all of that work in a SIMD fashion, it manages to
perform better.
