To fix __crypto_xor() correctly, we'd have to duplicate the code path that operates on the u64[], u32[] and u16[] chunks, or we'll end up with suboptimal code that uses the accessors even if the alignment routine has executed first. This is the same issue Jason points out in siphash. Perhaps the answer is to add 'fast' unaligned accessors that may be used on unaligned quantities only if CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set? E.g., #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS #define get_unaligned_fast get_unaligned #else #define get_unaligned_fast(x) (*(x)) #endif Arnd?

On ARM v6 and later, we define CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS because the ordinary load/store instructions (ldr, ldrh, ldrb) can tolerate any misalignment of the memory address. However, load/store double and load/store multiple instructions (ldrd, ldm) may still only be used on memory addresses that are 32-bit aligned, and so we have to use the CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS macro with care, or we may end up with a severe performance hit due to alignment traps that require fixups by the kernel. Fortunately, the get_unaligned() accessors do the right thing: when building for ARMv6 or later, the compiler will emit unaligned accesses using the ordinary load/store instructions (but avoid the ones that require 32-bit alignment). When building for older ARM, those accessors will emit the appropriate sequence of ldrb/mov/orr instructions. And on architectures that can truly tolerate any kind of misalignment, the get_unaligned() accessors resolve to the leXX_to_cpup accessors that operate on aligned addresses. So switch to the unaligned accessors for the aligned fast path. This will create the exact same code on architectures that can really tolerate any kind of misalignment, and generate code for ARMv6+ that avoids load/store instructions that trigger alignment faults.
