+Subject: [PATCH] Assign crypto aliases to different AES implementation
+ modules
+
+The kernel modules aes-neon-blk and aes-neon-bs perform poorly, at least on
+Cortex-A72 without crypto extensions. In fact, aes-arm64 outperforms them
+on benchmarks, despite it being a simpler implementation (only accelerating
+the single-block AES cipher).
+
+For modes of operation where multiple cipher blocks can be processed in
+parallel, aes-neon-bs outperforms aes-neon-blk by around 60-70% and aes-arm64
+is another 10-20% faster still. But the difference is even more marked with
+modes of operation with dependencies between neighbouring blocks, such as
+CBC encryption, which defeat parallelism: in these cases, aes-arm64 is
+typically around 250% faster than either aes-neon-blk or aes-neon-bs.
+
+The key trade-off with aes-arm64 is that the look-up tables are situated in
+RAM. This leaves them potentially open to cache timing attacks. The two other
+modules, by contrast, load the look-up tables into NEON registers and so are
+able to perform in constant time.
+
+This patch aims to load aes-arm64 more often.
+
+If none of the currently-loaded crypto modules implement a given algorithm,
+a new one is typically selected for loading using a platform-neutral alias
+describing the required algorithm. To enable users to still
+load aes-neon-blk or aes-neon-bs if they really want them, while still
+ensuring that aes-arm64 is usually selected, remove the aliases from
+aes-neonbs-glue.c and aes-glue.c and apply them to aes-cipher-glue.c, but
+still build the two NEON modules.
+
+Since aes-glue.c can also be used to build aes-ce-blk, leave them enabled
+if USE_V8_CRYPTO_EXTENSIONS is defined, to ensure they are selected if we
+in future use a CPU which has the crypto extensions enabled.
+
+Note that the algorithm priority specifiers are unchanged, so if
+aes-neon-bs is loaded at the same time as aes-arm64, the former will be
+used in preference. However, aes-neon-blk and aes-arm64 have tied priority,
+so whichever module was loaded first will be used (assuming aes-neon-bs is
+not loaded).
