Subject: [PATCH v11 0/5] riscv: Add fine-tuned checksum functions
Each architecture generally implements fine-tuned checksum functions to
leverage the instruction set. This patch adds the main checksum
functions that are used in networking.
This patch takes heavy use of the Zbb extension using alternatives
patching.
To test this patch, enable the configs for KUNIT, then CHECKSUM_KUNIT.
I have attempted to make these functions as optimal as possible, but I
have not ran anything on actual riscv hardware. My performance testing
has been limited to inspecting the assembly, running the algorithms on
x86 hardware, and running in QEMU.
ip_fast_csum is a relatively small function so even though it is
possible to read 64 bits at a time on compatible hardware, the
bottleneck becomes the clean up and setup code so loading 32 bits at a
time is actually faster.
Relies on https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230920193801.3035093-1-evan@rivosinc.com/

The algorithm proposed to replace the default csum_fold can be seen to
compute the same result by running all 2^32 possible inputs.
static inline unsigned int ror32(unsigned int word, unsigned int shift)
{
return (word >> (shift & 31)) | (word << ((-shift) & 31));
}
unsigned short csum_fold(unsigned int csum)
{
unsigned int sum = csum;
sum = (sum & 0xffff) + (sum >> 16);
sum = (sum & 0xffff) + (sum >> 16);
return ~sum;
}
unsigned short csum_fold_arc(unsigned int csum)
{
return ((~csum - ror32(csum, 16)) >> 16);
}
int main()
{
unsigned int start = 0x0;
do {
if (csum_fold(start) != csum_fold_arc(start)) {
printf("Not the same %u\n", start);
return -1;
}
start += 1;
} while(start != 0x0);
printf("The same\n");
return 0;
}

Changes in v11:
- Extensive modifications to comply to sparse
- Organize include statements (Xiao)
- Add csum_ipv6_magic to commit message (Xiao)
- Remove extraneous len statement (Xiao)
- Add kasan_check_read call (Xiao)
- Improve comment field checksum.h (Xiao)
- Consolidate "buff" and "len" into one parameter "end" (Xiao)
- Link to v10: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231101-optimize_checksum-v10-0-a498577bb969@rivosinc.com
Changes in v10:
- Move tests that were riscv-specific to be arch agnostic (Arnd)
- Link to v9: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231031-optimize_checksum-v9-0-ea018e69b229@rivosinc.com
Changes in v9:
- Use ror64 (Xiao)
- Move do_csum and csum_ipv6_magic headers to patch 4 (Xiao)
- Remove word "IP" from checksum headers (Xiao)
- Swap to using ifndef CONFIG_32BIT instead of ifdef CONFIG_64BIT (Xiao)
- Run no alignment code when buff is aligned (Xiao)
- Consolidate two do_csum implementations overlap into do_csum_common
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231027-optimize_checksum-v8-0-feb7101d128d@rivosinc.com
Changes in v8:
- Speedups of 12% without Zbb and 21% with Zbb when cpu supports fast
misaligned accesses for do_csum
- Various formatting updates
- Patch now relies on https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230920193801.3035093-1-evan@rivosinc.com/
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230919-optimize_checksum-v7-0-06c7d0ddd5d6@rivosinc.com
Changes in v7:
- Included linux/bitops.h in asm-generic/checksum.h to use ror (Conor)
- Optimized loop in do_csum (David)
- Used ror instead of shifting (David)
- Unfortunately had to reintroduce ifdefs because gcc is not smart
enough to not throw warnings on code that will never execute
- Use ifdef instead of IS_ENABLED on __LITTLE_ENDIAN because IS_ENABLED
does not work on that
- Only optimize for zbb when alternatives is enabled in do_csum
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230915-optimize_checksum-v6-0-14a6cf61c618@rivosinc.com
Changes in v6:
- Fix accuracy of commit message for csum_fold
- Fix indentation
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230914-optimize_checksum-v5-0-c95b82a2757e@rivosinc.com
Changes in v5:
- Drop vector patches
- Check ZBB enabled before doing any ZBB code (Conor)
- Check endianness in IS_ENABLED
- Revert to the simpler non-tree based version of ipv6_csum_magic since
David pointed out that the tree based version is not better.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230911-optimize_checksum-v4-0-77cc2ad9e9d7@rivosinc.com
Changes in v4:
- Suggestion by David Laight to use an improved checksum used in
arch/arc.
- Eliminates zero-extension on rv32, but not on rv64.
- Reduces data dependency which should improve execution speed on
rv32 and rv64
- Still passes CHECKSUM_KUNIT and RISCV_CHECKSUM_KUNIT on rv32 and
rv64 with and without zbb.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230907-optimize_checksum-v3-0-c502d34d9d73@rivosinc.com
Changes in v3:
- Use riscv_has_extension_likely and has_vector where possible (Conor)
- Reduce ifdefs by using IS_ENABLED where possible (Conor)
- Use kernel_vector_begin in the vector code (Samuel)
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230905-optimize_checksum-v2-0-ccd658db743b@rivosinc.com
Changes in v2:
- After more benchmarking, rework functions to improve performance.
- Remove tests that overlapped with the already existing checksum
tests and make tests more extensive.
- Use alternatives to activate code with Zbb and vector extensions
