Subject: Re: MD5 Generic improvements
Jim, Simon, Erik -
I've just "tested" Jim's john-1.7.6-jumbo-12-early-release-md5-gen-1 on
linux-x86-64 and linux-x86-sse2 (both with gcc 4.5.0). All self-tests
pass. :-) Then I went to test "Incorporation of SSE2 intrinsic code":

The first hurdle was that Simon's intrinsics patch was against -jumbo-6
and it would not apply against -jumbo-12 cleanly. I took care of that,
uploading a revised patch to the wiki:
http://openwall.info/wiki/john/patches
as well as to:
http://download.openwall.net/pub/projects/john/contrib/
In fact, I uploaded two revisions: john-1.7.6-jumbo-12-intrinsics-1
(under historical/) is a mere update to -jumbo-12, whereas
john-1.7.6-jumbo-12-intrinsics-2 also fixes some compiler warnings, at
least one of which was for a real bug. It looks like MD5_apache_fmt.c
in jumbo got BINARY_SIZE wrong, which was not exposed until gcc gave me
these warnings (with the intrinsics patch applied):
MD5_apache_fmt.c: In function 'cmp_all':
MD5_apache_fmt.c:166:60: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
For now, this is fixed only in john-1.7.6-jumbo-12-intrinsics-2,
although it needs a fix in jumbo.
Anyway, regardless of these warning fixes,
john-1.7.6-jumbo-12-intrinsics-2 (as well as -1) fails two self-tests on
linux-x86-64 with gcc 4.5.0:
Benchmarking: Apache MD5 [12x]... FAILED (get_hash[1](0))
[...]
Benchmarking: Raw MD5 [raw-md5 SSE]... ERROR buffer not cleaned properly when setting key index 1
At this point it just exits, without testing further formats. My guess
is that my self-test enhancements have exposed some incompatibilities
with this patch (maybe bugs). Simon - can you please take a look and
likely upload a corrected patch against -jumbo-12?
Finally, I went to test john-1.7.6-jumbo-12-intrinsics-2 applied along
with john-1.7.6-jumbo-12-early-release-md5-gen-1. These two apply
together cleanly (with the only exception being the version string in
params.h). Self-tests fail in the exact same way as they do for
john-1.7.6-jumbo-12-intrinsics-2 alone.
Jim - did you get these patches working together? Did you also have
some self-tests fail?
Thanks,
Alexander
