[ Upstream commit 12d3f49e1ffbbf8cbbb60acae5a21103c5c841ac ]

All of the VMX AES ciphers (AES, AES-CBC and AES-CTR) are set at
priority 1000. Unfortunately this means we never use AES-CBC and
AES-CTR, because the base AES-CBC cipher that is implemented on
top of AES inherits its priority.

To fix this, AES-CBC and AES-CTR have to be a higher priority. Set
them to 2000.

Testing on a POWER8 with:

cryptsetup benchmark --cipher aes --key-size 256

Shows decryption speed increase from 402.4 MB/s to 3069.2 MB/s,
over 7x faster. Thanks to Mike Strosaker for helping me debug
this issue.

crypto: vmx - Adding enable_kernel_vsx() to access VSX instructions 2015-09-29T17:26:05+00:00 Leonidas Da Silva Barbosa leosilva@linux.vnet.ibm.com 2015-07-13T16:51:39+00:00 98747a5651a63b7e9246880909013753c7b633eb commit 2d6f0600b2cd755959527230ef5a6fba97bb762a upstream. vmx-crypto driver make use of some VSX instructions which are only available if VSX is enabled. Running in cases where VSX are not enabled vmx-crypto fails in a VSX exception. In order to fix this enable_kernel_vsx() was added to turn on VSX instructions for vmx-crypto.

vmx-crypto driver make use of some VSX instructions which are
only available if VSX is enabled. Running in cases where VSX
are not enabled vmx-crypto fails in a VSX exception.

In order to fix this enable_kernel_vsx() was added to turn on
VSX instructions for vmx-crypto.
