Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

+==>> To compile after untarring/unsharring, just `make' <<==
+
+
+This package was designed with the following goals:
+1.      Highest possible encryption/decryption PERFORMANCE.
+2.      PORTABILITY to any byte-addressable host with a 32bit unsigned C type
+3.      Plug-compatible replacement for KERBEROS's low-level routines.
+
+This second release includes a number of performance enhancements for
+register-starved machines.  My discussions with Richard Outerbridge,
+71755.204@compuserve.com, sparked a number of these enhancements.
+
+To more rapidly understand the code in this package, inspect desSmallFips.i
+(created by typing `make') BEFORE you tackle desCode.h.  The latter is set
+up in a parameterized fashion so it can easily be modified by speed-daemon
+hackers in pursuit of that last microsecond.  You will find it more
+illuminating to inspect one specific implementation,
+and then move on to the common abstract skeleton with this one in mind.
+
+
+performance comparison to other available des code which i could
+compile on a SPARCStation 1 (cc -O4, gcc -O2):
+
+this code (byte-order independent):
+   30us per encryption (options: 64k tables, no IP/FP)
+   33us per encryption (options: 64k tables, FIPS standard bit ordering)
+   45us per encryption (options:  2k tables, no IP/FP)
+   48us per encryption (options:  2k tables, FIPS standard bit ordering)
+  275us to set a new key (uses 1k of key tables)
+        this has the quickest encryption/decryption routines i've seen.
+        since i was interested in fast des filters rather than crypt(3)
+        and password cracking, i haven't really bothered yet to speed up
+        the key setting routine. also, i have no interest in re-implementing
+        all the other junk in the mit kerberos des library, so i've just
+        provided my routines with little stub interfaces so they can be
+        used as drop-in replacements with mit's code or any of the mit-
+        compatible packages below. (note that the first two timings above
+        are highly variable because of cache effects).
+
+kerberos des replacement from australia (version 1.95):
+   53us per encryption (uses 2k of tables)
+   96us to set a new key (uses 2.25k of key tables)
+        so despite the author's inclusion of some of the performance
+        improvements i had suggested to him, this package's
+        encryption/decryption is still slower on the sparc and 68000.
+        more specifically, 19-40% slower on the 68020 and 11-35% slower
+        on the sparc,  depending on the compiler;
+        in full gory detail (ALT_ECB is a libdes variant):
+        compiler        machine         desCore libdes  ALT_ECB slower by
+        gcc 2.1 -O2     Sun 3/110       304  uS 369.5uS 461.8uS  22%
+        cc      -O1     Sun 3/110       336  uS 436.6uS 399.3uS  19%
+        cc      -O2     Sun 3/110       360  uS 532.4uS 505.1uS  40%
+        cc      -O4     Sun 3/110       365  uS 532.3uS 505.3uS  38%
+        gcc 2.1 -O2     Sun 4/50         48  uS  53.4uS  57.5uS  11%
+        cc      -O2     Sun 4/50         48  uS  64.6uS  64.7uS  35%
+        cc      -O4     Sun 4/50         48  uS  64.7uS  64.9uS  35%
+        (my time measurements are not as accurate as his).
+   the comments in my first release of desCore on version 1.92:
+   68us per encryption (uses 2k of tables)
+   96us to set a new key (uses 2.25k of key tables)
+        this is a very nice package which implements the most important
+        of the optimizations which i did in my encryption routines.
+        it's a bit weak on common low-level optimizations which is why
+        it's 39%-106% slower.  because he was interested in fast crypt(3) and
+        password-cracking applications,  he also used the same ideas to
+        speed up the key-setting routines with impressive results.
+        (at some point i may do the same in my package).  he also implements
+        the rest of the mit des library.
+        (code from eay@psych.psy.uq.oz.au via comp.sources.misc)
+
+fast crypt(3) package from denmark:
+        the des routine here is buried inside a loop to do the
+        crypt function and i didn't feel like ripping it out and measuring
+        performance. his code takes 26 sparc instructions to compute one
+        des iteration; above, Quick (64k) takes 21 and Small (2k) takes 37.
+        he claims to use 280k of tables but the iteration calculation seems
+        to use only 128k.  his tables and code are machine independent.
+        (code from glad@daimi.aau.dk via alt.sources or comp.sources.misc)
+
+swedish reimplementation of Kerberos des library
+  108us per encryption (uses 34k worth of tables)
+  134us to set a new key (uses 32k of key tables to get this speed!)
+        the tables used seem to be machine-independent;
+        he seems to have included a lot of special case code
+        so that, e.g., `long' loads can be used instead of 4 `char' loads
+        when the machine's architecture allows it.
+        (code obtained from chalmers.se:pub/des)
+
+crack 3.3c package from england:
+        as in crypt above, the des routine is buried in a loop. it's
+        also very modified for crypt.  his iteration code uses 16k
+        of tables and appears to be slow.
+        (code obtained from aem@aber.ac.uk via alt.sources or comp.sources.misc)
+
+``highly optimized'' and tweaked Kerberos/Athena code (byte-order dependent):
+  165us per encryption (uses 6k worth of tables)
+  478us to set a new key (uses <1k of key tables)
+        so despite the comments in this code, it was possible to get
+        faster code AND smaller tables, as well as making the tables
+        machine-independent.
+        (code obtained from prep.ai.mit.edu)
+
+UC Berkeley code (depends on machine-endedness):
+  226us per encryption
+10848us to set a new key
+        table sizes are unclear, but they don't look very small

+
+
+motivation and history
+
+a while ago i wanted some des routines and the routines documented on sun's
+man pages either didn't exist or dumped core.  i had heard of kerberos,
+and knew that it used des,  so i figured i'd use its routines.  but once
+i got it and looked at the code,  it really set off a lot of pet peeves -
+it was too convoluted, the code had been written without taking
+advantage of the regular structure of operations such as IP, E, and FP
+(i.e. the author didn't sit down and think before coding),
+it was excessively slow,  the author had attempted to clarify the code
+by adding MORE statements to make the data movement more `consistent'
+instead of simplifying his implementation and cutting down on all data
+movement (in particular, his use of L1, R1, L2, R2), and it was full of
+idiotic `tweaks' for particular machines which failed to deliver significant
+speedups but which did obfuscate everything.  so i took the test data
+from his verification program and rewrote everything else.
+
+a while later i ran across the great crypt(3) package mentioned above.
+the fact that this guy was computing 2 sboxes per table lookup rather
+than one (and using a MUCH larger table in the process) emboldened me to
+do the same - it was a trivial change from which i had been scared away
+by the larger table size.  in his case he didn't realize you don't need to keep
+the working data in TWO forms, one for easy use of half the sboxes in
+indexing, the other for easy use of the other half; instead you can keep
+it in the form for the first half and use a simple rotate to get the other
+half.  this means i have (almost) half the data manipulation and half
+the table size.  in fairness though he might be encoding something particular
+to crypt(3) in his tables - i didn't check.
+
+i'm glad that i implemented it the way i did, because this C version is
+portable (the ifdef's are performance enhancements) and it is faster
+than versions hand-written in assembly for the sparc!
+
+
+porting notes
+
+one thing i did not want to do was write an enormous mess
+which depended on endedness and other machine quirks,
+and which necessarily produced different code and different lookup tables
+for different machines.  see the kerberos code for an example
+of what i didn't want to do; all their endedness-specific `optimizations'
+obfuscate the code and in the end were slower than a simpler machine
+independent approach.  however, there are always some portability
+considerations of some kind, and i have included some options
+for varying numbers of register variables.
+perhaps some will still regard the result as a mess!
+
+1) i assume everything is byte addressable, although i don't actually
+   depend on the byte order, and that bytes are 8 bits.
+   i assume word pointers can be freely cast to and from char pointers.
+   note that 99% of C programs make these assumptions.
+   i always use unsigned char's if the high bit could be set.
+2) the typedef `word' means a 32 bit unsigned integral type.
+   if `unsigned long' is not 32 bits, change the typedef in desCore.h.
+   i assume sizeof(word) == 4 EVERYWHERE.
+
+the (worst-case) cost of my NOT doing endedness-specific optimizations
+in the data loading and storing code surrounding the key iterations
+is less than 12%.  also, there is the added benefit that
+the input and output work areas do not need to be word-aligned.
+
+
+OPTIONAL performance optimizations
+
+1) you should define one of `i386,' `vax,' `mc68000,' or `sparc,'
+   whichever one is closest to the capabilities of your machine.
+   see the start of desCode.h to see exactly what this selection implies.
+   note that if you select the wrong one, the des code will still work;
+   these are just performance tweaks.
+2) for those with functional `asm' keywords: you should change the
+   ROR and ROL macros to use machine rotate instructions if you have them.
+   this will save 2 instructions and a temporary per use,
+   or about 32 to 40 instructions per en/decryption.
+   note that gcc is smart enough to translate the ROL/R macros into
+   machine rotates!
+
+these optimizations are all rather persnickety, yet with them you should
+be able to get performance equal to assembly-coding, except that:
+1) with the lack of a bit rotate operator in C, rotates have to be synthesized
+   from shifts.  so access to `asm' will speed things up if your machine
+   has rotates, as explained above in (3) (not necessary if you use gcc).
+2) if your machine has less than 12 32-bit registers i doubt your compiler will
+   generate good code.
+   `i386' tries to configure the code for a 386 by only declaring 3 registers
+   (it appears that gcc can use ebx, esi and edi to hold register variables).
+   however, if you like assembly coding, the 386 does have 7 32-bit registers,
+   and if you use ALL of them, use `scaled by 8' address modes with displacement
+   and other tricks, you can get reasonable routines for DesQuickCore... with
+   about 250 instructions apiece.  For DesSmall... it will help to rearrange
+   des_keymap, i.e., now the sbox # is the high part of the index and
+   the 6 bits of data is the low part; it helps to exchange these.
+   since i have no way to conveniently test it i have not provided my
+   shoehorned 386 version.  note that with this release of desCore, gcc is able
+   to put everything in registers(!), and generate about 370 instructions apiece
+   for the DesQuickCore... routines!
+
+coding notes
+
+the en/decryption routines each use 6 necessary register variables,
+with 4 being actively used at once during the inner iterations.
+if you don't have 4 register variables get a new machine.
+up to 8 more registers are used to hold constants in some configurations.
+
+i assume that the use of a constant is more expensive than using a register:
+a) additionally, i have tried to put the larger constants in registers.
+   registering priority was by the following:
+        anything more than 12 bits (bad for RISC and CISC)
+        greater than 127 in value (can't use movq or byte immediate on CISC)
+        9-127 (may not be able to use CISC shift immediate or add/sub quick),
+        1-8 were never registered, being the cheapest constants.
+b) the compiler may be too stupid to realize table and table+256 should
+   be assigned to different constant registers and instead repetitively
+   do the arithmetic, so i assign these to explicit `m' register variables
+   when possible and helpful.
+
+i assume that indexing is cheaper or equivalent to auto increment/decrement,
+where the index is 7 bits unsigned or smaller.
+this assumption is reversed for 68k and vax.
+
+i assume that addresses can be cheaply formed from two registers,
+or from a register and a small constant.
+for the 68000, the `two registers and small offset' form is used sparingly.
+all index scaling is done explicitly - no hidden shifts by log2(sizeof).
+
+the code is written so that even a dumb compiler
+should never need more than one hidden temporary,
+increasing the chance that everything will fit in the registers.
+KEEP THIS MORE SUBTLE POINT IN MIND IF YOU REWRITE ANYTHING.
+(actually, there are some code fragments now which do require two temps,
+but fixing it would either break the structure of the macros or
+require declaring another temporary).
+
+
+special efficient data format
+
+bits are manipulated in this arrangement most of the time (S7 S5 S3 S1):
+        003130292827xxxx242322212019xxxx161514131211xxxx080706050403xxxx
+(the x bits are still there, i'm just emphasizing where the S boxes are).
+bits are rotated left 4 when computing S6 S4 S2 S0:
+        282726252423xxxx201918171615xxxx121110090807xxxx040302010031xxxx
+the rightmost two bits are usually cleared so the lower byte can be used
+as an index into an sbox mapping table. the next two x'd bits are set
+to various values to access different parts of the tables.
+
+
+how to use the routines
+
+datatypes:
+        pointer to 8 byte area of type DesData
+        used to hold keys and input/output blocks to des.
+
+        pointer to 128 byte area of type DesKeys
+        used to hold full 768-bit key.
+        must be long-aligned.
+
+DesQuickInit()
+        call this before using any other routine with `Quick' in its name.
+        it generates the special 64k table these routines need.
+DesQuickDone()
+        frees this table
+
+DesMethod(m, k)
+        m points to a 128byte block, k points to an 8 byte des key
+        which must have odd parity (or -1 is returned) and which must
+        not be a (semi-)weak key (or -2 is returned).
+        normally DesMethod() returns 0.
+        m is filled in from k so that when one of the routines below
+        is called with m, the routine will act like standard des
+        en/decryption with the key k. if you use DesMethod,
+        you supply a standard 56bit key; however, if you fill in
+        m yourself, you will get a 768bit key - but then it won't
+        be standard.  it's 768bits not 1024 because the least significant
+        two bits of each byte are not used.  note that these two bits
+        will be set to magic constants which speed up the encryption/decryption
+        on some machines.  and yes, each byte controls
+        a specific sbox during a specific iteration.
+        you really shouldn't use the 768bit format directly;  i should
+        provide a routine that converts 128 6-bit bytes (specified in
+        S-box mapping order or something) into the right format for you.
+        this would entail some byte concatenation and rotation.
+
+Des{Small|Quick}{Fips|Core}{Encrypt|Decrypt}(d, m, s)
+        performs des on the 8 bytes at s into the 8 bytes at d. (d,s: char *).
+        uses m as a 768bit key as explained above.
+        the Encrypt|Decrypt choice is obvious.
+        Fips|Core determines whether a completely standard FIPS initial
+        and final permutation is done; if not, then the data is loaded
+        and stored in a nonstandard bit order (FIPS w/o IP/FP).
+        Fips slows down Quick by 10%, Small by 9%.
+        Small|Quick determines whether you use the normal routine
+        or the crazy quick one which gobbles up 64k more of memory.
+        Small is 50% slower then Quick, but Quick needs 32 times as much
+        memory.  Quick is included for programs that do nothing but DES,
+        e.g., encryption filters, etc.
+
+
+Getting it to compile on your machine
+
+there are no machine-dependencies in the code (see porting),
+except perhaps the `now()' macro in desTest.c.
+ALL generated tables are machine independent.
+you should edit the Makefile with the appropriate optimization flags
+for your compiler (MAX optimization).
+
+
+Speeding up kerberos (and/or its des library)
+
+note that i have included a kerberos-compatible interface in desUtil.c
+through the functions des_key_sched() and des_ecb_encrypt().
+to use these with kerberos or kerberos-compatible code put desCore.a
+ahead of the kerberos-compatible library on your linker's command line.
+you should not need to #include desCore.h;  just include the header
+file provided with the kerberos library.
+
+Other uses
+
+the macros in desCode.h would be very useful for putting inline des
+functions in more complicated encryption routines.
