First of all, it had a failure in SEED:
LTC_KSEED failed for x=0, I got:
expected actual (ciphertext)
5e == 5e
ba == ba
c6 == c6
e0 == e0
05 != 00
4e != 00
16 != 00
68 != 00
19 == 19
af == af
f1 == f1
cc == cc
6d != 00
34 != 00
6c != 00
db != 00
Since SEED uses the 32H macros, this is really analogous to the
problem I saw with the 64H macros in Camellia with gcc. Not sure why
gcc only had a problem with 64H and not 32H, but since this is an
interaction with the optimizer, it's not going to happen every time
the macro is used (hence why the store tests pass; only when you get
into the complexity of a real cipher do you start having problems) and
it makes sense it will vary from compiler to compiler.
Anyway, I went ahead and added the ability to use __builtin_bswap32,
in addition to __builtin_bswap64, which I already did in a previous
commit. This solves the problem for clang, although I had to add new
logic to detect the bswap builtins in clang, since it has a different
way to detect them than gcc (see the comments in the code). The
detection logic was complicated enough, and applied to both the 32H
and 64H macros, so I factored out the detection logic into
tomcrypt_cfg.h.
This produces slightly better performance than the inline assembly,
and has the added benefit that it should be portable to other systems
that use gcc, not just x86-64.
Here are the results on my "AMD Athlon(tm) 7450 Dual-Core Processor"
with "gcc (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) 4.3.3":
with portable 64H macros:
camellia : Schedule at 1659
camellia [ 23]: Encrypt at 431, Decrypt at 434
whirlpool : Process at 55
with inline assembly (with "memory clobber" for correctness):
camellia : Schedule at 1380
camellia [ 23]: Encrypt at 406, Decrypt at 403
whirlpool : Process at 50
with __builtin_bswap64:
camellia : Schedule at 1352
camellia [ 23]: Encrypt at 396, Decrypt at 391
whirlpool : Process at 46
This had been causing Camellia (the only cipher that uses these
macros) to fail when compiling "out-of-the-box" with gcc version
"4.3.3-5ubuntu4". I think because the compiler had no idea any memory
access was going on in these macros.
Adding "memory" as a clobber solves the problem, but is probably
overkill. I suspect that if we specify the constraint for y
differently, we could get rid of both "memory" and __volatile__, which
would allow the compiler to optimize much more.
Also, in gcc versions that support it, we should probably use the
bswap builtins instead.
As near as I can tell, LibTomCrypt doesn't provide any way to tell
which cipher failed when it reports a cipher test failure. For
example, I was getting:
Algorithm failed test vectors. (5)
cipher_hash_test.c:14:cipher_descriptor[x].test()
But there's no way to tell what value x has, and even if there was, it
would take a bit of digging to determine which algorithm that
corresponds to. So, I added a variant of the DO() macro, DOX(), which
takes an additional string argument which is displayed on failure. So
now I get:
Algorithm failed test vectors. (5) - camellia
cipher_hash_test.c:14:cipher_descriptor[x].test()
