    raid6: Add LoongArch SIMD syndrome calculation · 8f3f06df
    WANG Xuerui authored
    The algorithms work on 64 bytes at a time, which is the L1 cache line
    size of all current and future LoongArch cores (that we care about), as
    confirmed by Huacai. The code is based on the generic int.uc algorithm,
    unrolled 4 times for LSX and 2 times for LASX. Further unrolling does
    not meaningfully improve the performance according to experiments.
    
    Performance numbers measured during system boot on a 3A5000 @ 2.5GHz:
    
    > raid6: lasx     gen() 12726 MB/s
    > raid6: lsx      gen() 10001 MB/s
    > raid6: int64x8  gen()  2876 MB/s
    > raid6: int64x4  gen()  3867 MB/s
    > raid6: int64x2  gen()  2531 MB/s
    > raid6: int64x1  gen()  1945 MB/s
    
    Comparison of xor() speeds (from different boots but meaningful anyway):
    
    > lasx:    11226 MB/s
    > lsx:     6395 MB/s
    > int64x4: 2147 MB/s
    
    Performance as measured by raid6test:
    
    > raid6: lasx     gen() 25109 MB/s
    > raid6: lsx      gen() 13233 MB/s
    > raid6: int64x8  gen()  4164 MB/s
    > raid6: int64x4  gen()  6005 MB/s
    > raid6: int64x2  gen()  5781 MB/s
    > raid6: int64x1  gen()  4119 MB/s
    > raid6: using algorithm lasx gen() 25109 MB/s
    > raid6: .... xor() 14439 MB/s, rmw enabled
