include/: replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones

2020-08-12T17:57:59+00:00

Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Signed-off-by: Alexander A.

xxHash: create arch dependent 32/64-bit xxhash()

2018-12-28T20:11:46+00:00

Patch series "Currently used jhash are slow enough and replace it allow as to make KSM", v8. Apeed (in kernel): ksm: crc32c hash() 12081 MB/s ksm: xxh64 hash() 8770 MB/s ksm: xxh32 hash() 4529 MB/s ksm: jhash2 hash() 1569 MB/s Sioh Lee's testing (copy from other mail): Test platform: openstack cloud platform (NEWTON version) Experiment node: openstack based cloud compute node (CPU: xeon E5-2620 v3, memory 64gb) VM: (2 VCPU, RAM 4GB, DISK 20GB) * 4 Linux kernel: 4.14 (latest version) KSM setup - sleep_millisecs: 200ms, pages_to_scan: 200 Experiment process: Firstly, we turn off KSM and launch 4 VMs. Then we turn on the KSM and measure the checksum computation time until full_scans become two. The experimental results (the experimental value is the average of the measured values) crc32c_intel: 1084.10ns crc32c (no hardware acceleration): 7012.51ns xxhash32: 2227.75ns xxhash64: 1413.16ns jhash2: 5128.30ns In summary, the result shows that crc32c_intel has advantages over all of the hash function used in the experiment. (decreased by 84.54% compared to crc32c, 78.86% compared to jhash2, 51.33% xxhash32, 23.28% compared to xxhash64) the results are similar to those of Timofey. But, use only xxhash for now, because for using crc32c, cryptoapi must be initialized first - that require some tricky solution to work good in all situations. So: - First patch implement compile time pickup of fastest implementation of xxhash for target platform. - The second patch replaces jhash2 with xxhash This patch (of 2): xxh32() - fast on both 32/64-bit platforms xxh64() - fast only on 64-bit platform Create xxhash() which will pick up the fastest version at compile time.

lib: Add xxhash module

2017-08-15T16:02:07+00:00

Adds xxhash kernel module with xxh32 and xxh64 hashes. xxhash is an extremely fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm for checksumming. The zstd compression and decompression modules added in the next patch require xxhash. I extracted it out from zstd since it is useful on its own. I copied the code from the upstream XXHash source repository and translated it into kernel style. I ran benchmarks and tests in the kernel and tests in userland. I benchmarked xxhash as a special character device. I ran in four modes, no-op, xxh32, xxh64, and crc32. The no-op mode simply copies the data to kernel space and ignores it. The xxh32, xxh64, and crc32 modes compute hashes on the copied data. I also ran it with four different buffer sizes. The benchmark file is located in the upstream zstd source repository under `contrib/linux-kernel/xxhash_test.c` [1]. I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM. The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a SSD. I benchmarked using the file `filesystem.squashfs` from `ubuntu-16.10-desktop-amd64.iso`, which is 1,536,217,088 B large. Run the following commands for the benchmark: modprobe xxhash_test mknod xxhash_test c 245 0 time cp filesystem.squashfs xxhash_test The time is reported by the time of the userland `cp`. The GB/s is computed with 1,536,217,008 B / time(buffer size, hash) which includes the time to copy from userland. The Normalized GB/s is computed with 1,536,217,088 B / (time(buffer size, hash) - time(buffer size, none)). | Buffer Size (B) | Hash | Time (s) | GB/s | Adjusted GB/s | |-----------------|-------|----------|------|---------------| | 1024 | none | 0.408 | 3.77 | - | | 1024 | xxh32 | 0.649 | 2.37 | 6.37 | | 1024 | xxh64 | 0.542 | 2.83 | 11.46 | | 1024 | crc32 | 1.290 | 1.19 | 1.74 | | 4096 | none | 0.380 | 4.04 | - | | 4096 | xxh32 | 0.645 | 2.38 | 5.79 | | 4096 | xxh64 | 0.500 | 3.07 | 12.80 | | 4096 | crc32 | 1.168 | 1.32 | 1.95 | | 8192 | none | 0.351 | 4.38 | - | | 8192 | xxh32 | 0.614 | 2.50 | 5.84 | | 8192 | xxh64 | 0.464 | 3.31 | 13.60 | | 8192 | crc32 | 1.163 | 1.32 | 1.89 | | 16384 | none | 0.346 | 4.43 | - | | 16384 | xxh32 | 0.590 | 2.60 | 6.30 | | 16384 | xxh64 | 0.466 | 3.30 | 12.80 | | 16384 | crc32 | 1.183 | 1.30 | 1.84 | Tested in userland using the test-suite in the zstd repo under `contrib/linux-kernel/test/XXHashUserlandTest.cpp` [2] by mocking the kernel functions. A line in each branch of every function in `xxhash.c` was commented out to ensure that the test-suite fails. Additionally tested while testing zstd and with SMHasher [3].
