[PATCH v2 0/1] lib/crypto: tests: KUnit test-suite for AES

From: Holger Dengler

Date: Mon Jan 19 2026 - 07:12:20 EST


The following patch adds a kunit tests for the aes library.

Changes since v1 [1]:
- move information from cover-letter to commit message
- remove unused struct buf
- add reference to the KAT source
- restructure the benchmark
- reduce the number of iterations for warm-up and benchmark
- measure each aes operation and take the minimal measurement for the
bandwidth calculation
- normalize bandwidth to MB (power of 10) instead of MiB (power of 2)

Changes since RFC [2]:
- reorder entries in Kconfig/Makefile alphabetically
- fail (instead of skip) in case of failures in key preparation
- replace local constant definitions
- replace macros with helper functions
