[PATCH v3 0/5] crypto: lib/sha256 - cleanup/optimization

From: Arvind Sankar
Date: Fri Oct 23 2020 - 15:22:07 EST


Patch 1 -- Use memzero_explicit() instead of structure assignment/plain
memset() to clear sensitive state.

Patch 2 -- Currently the temporary variables used in the generic sha256
implementation are cleared, but the clearing is optimized away due to
lack of compiler barriers. Drop the clearing.

The last three patches are optimizations for generic sha256.

v3:
- Add some more files to patch 1
- Reword commit message for patch 2
- Reformat SHA256_K array
- Drop v2 patch combining K and W arrays

v2:
- Add patch to combine K and W arrays, suggested by David
- Reformat SHA256_ROUND() macro a little

Arvind Sankar (5):
crypto: Use memzero_explicit() for clearing state
crypto: lib/sha256 - Don't clear temporary variables
crypto: lib/sha256 - Clear W[] in sha256_update() instead of
sha256_transform()
crypto: lib/sha256 - Unroll SHA256 loop 8 times intead of 64
crypto: lib/sha256 - Unroll LOAD and BLEND loops
