A lot of asm-optimized routines in arch/x86/crypto/ keep its
constants in .data. This is wrong, they should be on .rodata.
Mnay of these constants are the same in different modules.
For example, 128-bit shuffle mask 0x000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F
exists in at least half a dozen places.
There is a way to let linker merge them and use just one copy.
The rules are as follows: mergeable objects of different sizes
should not share sections. You can't put them all in one .rodata
section, they will lose "mergeability".
GCC puts its mergeable constants in ".rodata.cstSIZE" sections,
or ".rodata.cstSIZE.<object_name>" if -fdata-sections is used.
This patch does the same:
.section .rodata.cst16.SHUF_MASK, "aM", @progbits, 16
It is important that all data in such section consists of
16-byte elements, not larger ones, and there are no implicit
use of one element from another.
When this is not the case, use non-mergeable section:
.section .rodata[.VAR_NAME], "a", @progbits
This reduces .data by ~15 kbytes:
text data bss dec hex filename
11097415 2705840 2630712 16433967 fac32f vmlinux-prev.o
11112095 2690672 2630712 16433479 fac147 vmlinux.o
Merged objects are visible in System.map:
ffffffff81a28810 r POLY
ffffffff81a28810 r POLY
ffffffff81a28820 r TWOONE
ffffffff81a28820 r TWOONE
ffffffff81a28830 r PSHUFFLE_BYTE_FLIP_MASK <- merged regardless of
ffffffff81a28830 r SHUF_MASK <------------- the name difference
ffffffff81a28830 r SHUF_MASK
ffffffff81a28830 r SHUF_MASK
..
ffffffff81a28d00 r K512 <- merged three identical 640-byte tables
ffffffff81a28d00 r K512
ffffffff81a28d00 r K512
Use of object names in section name suffixes is not strictly necessary,
but might help if someday link stage will use garbage collection
to eliminate unused sections (ld --gc-sections).

The crypto code has several callable non-leaf functions which don't
honor CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, which can result in bad stack traces.
Create stack frames for them when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled.

This patch adds AVX optimized XTS-mode helper functions/macros and converts
serpent-avx to use the new facilities. Benefits are slightly improved speed
and reduced stack usage as use of temporary IV-array is avoided.

Introduce new assembler functions to avoid use temporary stack buffers in glue
code. This also allows use of vector instructions for xoring output in CTR and
CBC modes and construction of IVs for CTR mode.
ECB mode sees ~0.5% decrease in speed because added one extra function
call. CBC mode decryption and CTR mode benefit from vector operations
and gain ~3%.

Rename serpent-avx assembler functions so that they do not collide with
serpent-sse2 assembler functions when linking both versions in to same
kernel image.
