crypto: x86/aes - Don't use %rbp as temporary register
When using the "aes-asm" implementation of AES (*not* the AES-NI implementation) on an x86_64, v4.12-rc1 kernel with lockdep enabled, the following warning was reported, along with a long unwinder dump: WARNING: kernel stack regs at ffffc90000643558 in kworker/u4:2:155 has bad 'bp' value 000000000000001c The problem is that aes_enc_block() and aes_dec_block() use %rbp as a temporary register, which breaks stack traces if an interrupt occurs. Fix this by replacing %rbp with %r9, which was being used to hold the saved value of %rbp. This required rearranging the AES round macro slightly since %r9d cannot be used as the target of a move from %ah-%dh. Performance is essentially unchanged --- actually about 0.2% faster than before. Interestingly, I also measured aes-generic as being nearly 7% faster than aes-asm, so perhaps aes-asm has outlived its usefulness...
