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) cast6-avx-x86_64 vs. cast6-generic 128bit key: (lrw:256bit) (xts:256bit) size ecb-enc ecb-dec cbc-enc cbc-dec ctr-enc ctr-dec lrw-enc lrw-dec xts-enc xts-dec 16B 0.97x 1.00x 1.01x 1.01x 0.99x 0.97x 0.98x 1.01x 0.96x 0.98x 64B 0.98x 0.99x 1.02x 1.01x 0.99x 1.00x 1.01x 0.99x 1.00x 0.99x 256B 1.77x 1.84x 0.99x 1.85x 1.77x 1.77x 1.70x 1.74x 1.69x 1.72x 1024B 1.93x 1.95x 0.99x 1.96x 1.93x 1.93x 1.84x 1.85x 1.89x 1.87x 8192B 1.91x 1.95x 0.99x 1.97x 1.95x 1.91x 1.86x 1.87x 1.93x 1.90x 256bit key: (lrw:384bit) (xts:512bit) size ecb-enc ecb-dec cbc-enc cbc-dec ctr-enc ctr-dec lrw-enc lrw-dec xts-enc xts-dec 16B 0.97x 0.99x 1.02x 1.01x 0.98x 0.99x 1.00x 1.00x 0.98x 0.98x 64B 0.98x 0.99x 1.01x 1.00x 1.00x 1.00x 1.01x 1.01x 0.97x 1.00x 256B 1.77x 1.83x 1.00x 1.86x 1.79x 1.78x 1.70x 1.76x 1.71x 1.69x 1024B 1.92x 1.95x 0.99x 1.96x 1.93x 1.93x 1.83x 1.86x 1.89x 1.87x 8192B 1.94x 1.95x 0.99x 1.97x 1.95x 1.95x 1.87x 1.87x 1.93x 1.91x Signed-off-by: Johannes Goetzfried <Johannes.Goetzfried@informatik.stud.uni-erlangen.de> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
