@Herbert: thanks for that annotation. IPsec is the desired use case.
Do you have a programming template for the cryptd integration?
E.g. ghash-clmulni-intel_glue.c?
@linuxppc: Intel world checks for usable FPU (SSE3, ...) in the crypto
modules with
bool irq_fpu_usable(void)
{
return !in_interrupt() ||
interrupted_user_mode() ||
interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle();
}
I guess interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle() is the part that allows IPsec
inside an interrupt to make use of the accelerated module.
Explanation reads:
* On others, we can do a kernel_fpu_begin/end() pair *ONLY* if
* that pair does nothing at all: the thread must not have fpu (so
* that we don't try to save the FPU state), and TS must
* be set (so that the clts/stts pair does nothing that is
* visible in the interrupted kernel thread).
Do I have the chance to use something similiar in the PPC/SPE
case? Or is there a simple way like saving the SPE registers
myself?
Thanks in advance.
