These patches fix the RFC4106 implementation in the aesni-intel module so it supports 192 & 256 bit keys. Since the AVX support that was added to this module also only supports 128 bit keys, and this patch only affects the SSE implementation, changes were also made to use the SSE version if key sizes other than 128 are specified. RFC4106 specifies that 192 & 256 bit keys must be supported (section 8.4). Also, this should fix Strongswan issue 341 where the aesni module needs to be unloaded if 256 bit keys are used: http://wiki.strongswan.org/issues/341 This patch has been tested with Sandy Bridge and Haswell processors. With 128 bit keys and input buffers > 512 bytes a slight performance degradation was noticed (~1%). For input buffers of less than 512 bytes there was no performance impact. Compared to 128 bit keys, 256 bit key size performance is approx. .5 cycles per byte slower on Sandy Bridge, and .37 cycles per byte slower on Haswell (vs. SSE code). This patch has also been tested with StrongSwan IPSec connections where it worked correctly. I created this diff from a git clone of crypto-2.6.git. Any questions, please feel free to contact me.
