254eff7714 crypto: cryptd - Per-CPU thread implementation based on kcrypto_wq
Original cryptd thread implementation has scalability issue, this
patch solve the issue with a per-CPU thread implementation.

struct cryptd_queue is defined to be a per-CPU queue, which holds one
struct cryptd_cpu_queue for each CPU. In struct cryptd_cpu_queue, a
struct crypto_queue holds all requests for the CPU, a struct
work_struct is used to run all requests for the CPU.

Testing based on dm-crypt on an Intel Core 2 E6400 (two cores) machine
shows 19.2% performance gain. The testing script is as follow:

-------------------- script begin ---------------------------
#!/bin/sh

dmc_create()
{
        # Create a crypt device using dmsetup
        dmsetup create $2 --table "0 `blockdev --getsize $1` crypt cbc(aes-asm)?cryptd?plain:plain babebabebabebabebabebabebabebabe 0 $1 0"
}

dmsetup remove crypt0
dmsetup remove crypt1

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 bs=1M count=4 >& /dev/null
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram1 bs=1M count=4 >& /dev/null

dmc_create /dev/ram0 crypt0
dmc_create /dev/ram1 crypt1

cat >tr.sh <<EOF
#!/bin/sh

for n in \$(seq 10); do
        dd if=/dev/dm-0 of=/dev/null >& /dev/null &
        dd if=/dev/dm-1 of=/dev/null >& /dev/null &
done
wait
EOF

for n in $(seq 10); do
        /usr/bin/time sh tr.sh
done
rm tr.sh
-------------------- script end   ---------------------------

The separator of dm-crypt parameter is changed from "-" to "?", because
"-" is used in some cipher driver name too, and cryptds need to specify
cipher driver name instead of cipher name.

The test result on an Intel Core2 E6400 (two cores) is as follow:

The middle value of elapsed time is:
wo cryptwq: 0.31
w  cryptwq: 0.26

The performance gain is about (0.31-0.26)/0.26 = 0.192.

1cac2cbc76 crypto: cryptd - Add support to access underlying blkcipher
cryptd_alloc_ablkcipher() will allocate a cryptd-ed ablkcipher for
specified algorithm name. The new allocated one is guaranteed to be
cryptd-ed ablkcipher, so the blkcipher underlying can be gotten via
cryptd_ablkcipher_child().

18e33e6d5c crypto: hash - Move ahash functions into crypto/hash.h
All new crypto interfaces should go into individual files as much
as possible in order to ensure that crypto.h does not collapse under
its own weight.

This patch moves the ahash code into crypto/hash.h and crypto/internal/hash.h
respectively.

332f8840f7 [CRYPTO] ablkcipher: Add distinct ABLKCIPHER type
Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as
type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set.  This is suboptimal because
ablkcipher refers to two things.  On the one hand it refers to the
top-level ablkcipher interface with requests.  On the other hand it
refers to and algorithm type underneath.

As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm
with the ablkcipher interface on top.  This is a problem because
we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level
interface.

This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as
we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST.  The type it associated
with the algorithm implementation only.

Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is
then determined by the mask that's used.  If it's a specific mask
then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the
new ablkcipher interface.
