Description: Fixed time AES cipher

More info: This is a generic implementation of AES that attempts to eliminate data dependent latencies as much as possible without affecting performance too much. It is intended for use by the generic CCM and GCM drivers, and other CTR or CMAC/XCBC based modes that rely solely on encryption (although decryption is supported as well, but with a more dramatic performance hit) Instead of using 16 lookup tables of 1 KB each, (8 for encryption and 8 for decryption), this implementation only uses just two S-boxes of 256 bytes each, and attempts to eliminate data dependent latencies by prefetching the entire table into the cache at the start of each block. Interrupts are also disabled to avoid races where cachelines are evicted when the CPU is interrupted to do something else.
