[PATCH 1/2] powerpc64: remove use of m4_unquote in the load step for sha256
by Eric Richter 25 Aug '24

25 Aug '24

By passing in the constant offset value into the LOAD macro, the use of m4_unquote to calculate the correct constant GPR can be avoided, improving readability.

[PATCH v3] powerpc64: Add optimized assembly for sha256-compress-n
by Eric Richter 18 Jun '24

18 Jun '24

This patch introduces an optimized powerpc64 assembly implementation for sha256-compress-n. This takes advantage of the vshasigma instruction, as well as unrolling loops to best take advantage of running instructions in parallel. The following data was captured on a POWER 10 LPAR @ ~3.896GHz Current C implementation: Algorithm mode Mbyte/s sha256 update 280.97 hmac-sha256 64 bytes 80.81 hmac-sha256 256 bytes 170.50 hmac-sha256 1024 bytes 241.92 hmac-sha256 4096 bytes 268.54 hmac-sha256 single msg 276.16 With optimized assembly: Algorithm mode Mbyte/s sha256 update 461.45 hmac-sha256 64 bytes 123.88 hmac-sha256 256 bytes 268.81 hmac-sha256 1024 bytes 390.91 hmac-sha256 4096 bytes 438.02 hmac-sha256 single msg 453.83 Signed-off-by: Eric Richter <erichte(a)linux.ibm.com> --- I split this patch to be standalone, rather than delay even further trying to update SHA512 -- I will update the SHA512 implementation when this one stabilizes. Regarding the load vperm needed for little endian: unfortunately we don't have a spare vector register to store the mask between rounds, so the best that can be done while maintaining p8 support will be to store the mask in a VSX register like the state values, and avoid the load. This is a negligible performance change however, yielding around +1MB/s on larger block counts (update, hmac 1024/4096/single msg) and -1MB/s on smaller (hmac 64/256). Dropping p8 support allows the use of the lxvb16x instruction, which does not need to be permuted, however that is as well a negligible performance improvement at the cost of dropping a whole cpu set. So I see a few options: A) leave as-is, consider storing the mask in a VSX register B) drop p8 support, use lxvb16x C) have a compile-time switch to use permute on p8, and use the single instruction for p9 an up. v3: - use protected zone instead of allocating stack space - add GPRs constants for multiples of 4 for loads - around +3.4 MB/s for sha256 update - move extend logic to its own macro called by EXTENDROUND - use 8 VSX registers to store previous state instead of the stack - around +11.0 MB/s for sha256 update fat-ppc.c | 12 + powerpc64/fat/sha256-compress-n-2.asm | 36 +++ powerpc64/p8/sha256-compress-n.asm | 364 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 412 insertions(+) create mode 100644 powerpc64/fat/sha256-compress-n-2.asm create mode 100644 powerpc64/p8/sha256-compress-n.asm diff --git a/fat-ppc.c b/fat-ppc.c index cd76f7a1..efbeb2ec 100644 --- a/fat-ppc.c +++ b/fat-ppc.c @@ -203,6 +203,10 @@ DECLARE_FAT_FUNC(_nettle_poly1305_blocks, poly1305_blocks_func) DECLARE_FAT_FUNC_VAR(poly1305_blocks, poly1305_blocks_func, c) DECLARE_FAT_FUNC_VAR(poly1305_blocks, poly1305_blocks_func, ppc64) +DECLARE_FAT_FUNC(_nettle_sha256_compress_n, sha256_compress_n_func) +DECLARE_FAT_FUNC_VAR(sha256_compress_n, sha256_compress_n_func, c) +DECLARE_FAT_FUNC_VAR(sha256_compress_n, sha256_compress_n_func, ppc64) + static void CONSTRUCTOR fat_init (void) @@ -231,6 +235,8 @@ fat_init (void) _nettle_ghash_update_arm64() */ _nettle_ghash_set_key_vec = _nettle_ghash_set_key_ppc64; _nettle_ghash_update_vec = _nettle_ghash_update_ppc64; + + _nettle_sha256_compress_n_vec = _nettle_sha256_compress_n_ppc64; } else { @@ -239,6 +245,7 @@ fat_init (void) _nettle_aes_invert_vec = _nettle_aes_invert_c; _nettle_ghash_set_key_vec = _nettle_ghash_set_key_c; _nettle_ghash_update_vec = _nettle_ghash_update_c; + _nettle_sha256_compress_n_vec = _nettle_sha256_compress_n_c; } if (features.have_altivec) { @@ -338,3 +345,8 @@ DEFINE_FAT_FUNC(_nettle_poly1305_blocks, const uint8_t *, size_t blocks, const uint8_t *m), (ctx, blocks, m)) + +DEFINE_FAT_FUNC(_nettle_sha256_compress_n, const uint8_t *, + (uint32_t *state, const uint32_t *k, + size_t blocks, const uint8_t *input), + (state, k, blocks, input)) diff --git a/powerpc64/fat/sha256-compress-n-2.asm b/powerpc64/fat/sha256-compress-n-2.asm new file mode 100644 index 00000000..4f4eee9d --- /dev/null +++ b/powerpc64/fat/sha256-compress-n-2.asm @@ -0,0 +1,36 @@ +C powerpc64/fat/sha256-compress-n-2.asm + +ifelse(` + Copyright (C) 2024 Eric Richter, IBM Corporation + + This file is part of GNU Nettle. + + GNU Nettle is free software: you can redistribute it and/or + modify it under the terms of either: + + * the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free + Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your + option) any later version. + + or + + * the GNU General Public License as published by the Free + Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your + option) any later version. + + or both in parallel, as here. + + GNU Nettle is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, + but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

ANNOUNCE: Nettle-3.10
by Niels Möller 16 Jun '24

16 Jun '24

I'm happy to announce a new release of GNU Nettle, a low-level cryptographics library. This release adds support for RSA-OAEP, and improves performance mainly for powerpc64. See NEWS entries below. The Nettle home page can be found at https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/, and the manual at https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/nettle.html. The release can be downloaded from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/nettle/nettle-3.10.tar.gz https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive/nettle-3.10.tar.gz Happy hacking, /Niels Möller NEWS for the Nettle 3.10 release This is a maintenance release, including a few each of bug fixes, new features and optimizations. The new version is intended to be fully source and binary compatible with Nettle-3.6. The shared library names are libnettle.so.8.9 and libhogweed.so.6.9, with sonames libnettle.so.8 and libhogweed.so.6. Bug fixes: * Add missing hash functions sha512_224 and sha512_256 to the nettle_get_hashes() list. The name values in the corresponding nettle_hash structs also changed to use underscore instead of dash, for consistency. * Fix a few cases of formally undefined calls to memcpy(dst, NULL, 0), resulting from valid calls to, e.g., sha256_update(ctx, 0, NULL). New features: * Support RSA-OAEP encryption. Contributed by Nicolas Mora and Daiki Ueno. * New function sha3_256_shake_output, new functions sha3_128_init, sha3_128_update, sha3_128_shake, sha3_128_shake_output. Contributed by Daiki Ueno. * Added DRBG-CTR with AES256, contributed by Simon Josefsson. Optimizations: * New combined gcm-aes assembly for powerpc64, contributed by Danny Tsen. * New sha256 assembly for powerpc64, contributed by Eric Richter. * Improved performance for powerpc64 AES decrypt, by skipping subkey transformations that don't suit the vncipher instructions. * Add arm64 CPU feature detection for Android and for Apple systems, contributed by Foolbar and Tim Kosse, prespectively. Miscellaneous: * New tests for side-channel silence, based on valgrind. * Delete all md5 assembly code. Delete all sparc32 assembly code. -- Niels Möller.

Nettle release plans
by Niels Möller 16 Jun '24

16 Jun '24

I'm thinking about Nettle releases. I think it would be nice to get out a maintenance 3.10 release before summer vacations. (current NEWS file at https://git.lysator.liu.se/nettle/nettle/-/blob/master/NEWS is fairly accurate). After that, there are two different directions: * Try to clean up some of the API issues. This will break the API (and like for previous changes, it could make sense to add foo-compat.h include files that supports old API, to make it easy to upgrade an application to work with the new nettle version, while incrementally adjusting to the new api). It may also break ABI and imply an soname change, or we could keep old symbols working for the case of old applications linking to new libnettle.so (but not the other way round, as documented at https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/nettle.html#Compatibility). If we go this way, that would be a Nettle-4.0, and it would make sense to me to try to get that done without much new features, and without making it a huge long-term project. * Focus on getting post-quantum algorithms into Nettle.
