[RFC PATCH 2/7] crypto: x86/sha - limit FPU preemption

From: Robert Elliott
Date: Thu Oct 06 2022 - 18:32:31 EST


As done by the ECB and CBC helpers in arch/x86/crypt/ecb_cbc_helpers.h,
limit the number of bytes processed between kernel_fpu_begin() and
kernel_fpu_end() calls.

Those functions call preempt_disable() and preempt_enable(), so
the CPU core is unavailable for scheduling while running.

This leads to "rcu_preempt detected expedited stalls" with stack dumps
pointing to the optimized hash function if this module is loaded and
used a lot:
rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected expedited stalls on CPUs/tasks: {12-... } 22 jiffies s: 277 root: 0x1/.

For example, that can occur during boot with the stack track pointing
to the sha512-x86 function if the system set to use SHA-512 for
module signing. The call trace includes:
module_sig_check
mod_verify_sig
pkcs7_verify
pkcs7_digest
sha512_finup
sha512_base_do_update

Fixes: 66be89515888 ("crypto: sha1 - SSSE3 based SHA1 implementation for x86-64")
Fixes: 8275d1aa6422 ("crypto: sha256 - Create module providing optimized SHA256 routines using SSSE3, AVX or AVX2 instructions.")
Fixes: 87de4579f92d ("crypto: sha512 - Create module providing optimized SHA512 routines using SSSE3, AVX or AVX2 instructions.")
Fixes: aa031b8f702e ("crypto: x86/sha512 - load based on CPU features")
