    crypto: poly1305 - add new 32 and 64-bit generic versions · 1c08a104

    These two C implementations from Zinc -- a 32x32 one and a 64x64 one,
    depending on the platform -- come from Andrew Moon's public domain
    poly1305-donna portable code, modified for usage in the kernel. The
    precomputation in the 32-bit version and the use of 64x64 multiplies in
    the 64-bit version make these perform better than the code it replaces.
    Moon's code is also very widespread and has received many eyeballs of
    scrutiny.
    
    There's a bit of interference between the x86 implementation, which
    relies on internal details of the old scalar implementation. In the next
    commit, the x86 implementation will be replaced with a faster one that
    doesn't rely on this, so none of this matters much. But for now, to keep
    this passing the tests, we inline the bits of the old implementation
    that the x86 implementation relied on. Also, since we now support a
    slightly larger key space, via the union, some offsets had to be fixed
    up.
    
    Nonce calculation was folded in with the emit function, to take
    advantage of 64x64 arithmetic. However, Adiantum appeared to rely on no
    nonce handling in emit, so this path was conditionalized. We also
    introduced a new struct, poly1305_core_key, to represent the precise
    amount of space that particular implementation uses.
    
    Testing with kbench9000, depending on the CPU, the update function for
    the 32x32 version has been improved by 4%-7%, and for the 64x64 by
    19%-30%. The 32x32 gains are small, but I think there's great value in
    having a parallel implementation to the 64x64 one so that the two can be
    compared side-by-side as nice stand-alone units.
