    crypto: cast6 - add x86_64/avx assembler implementation · 4ea1277d
    Johannes Goetzfried authored
    This patch adds a x86_64/avx assembler implementation of the Cast6 block
    cipher. The implementation processes eight blocks in parallel (two 4 block
    chunk AVX operations). The table-lookups are done in general-purpose registers.
    For small blocksizes the functions from the generic module are called. A good
    performance increase is provided for blocksizes greater or equal to 128B.
    
    Patch has been tested with tcrypt and automated filesystem tests.
    
    Tcrypt benchmark results:
    
    Intel Core i5-2500 CPU (fam:6, model:42, step:7)
