    crypto: twofish - add x86_64/avx assembler implementation · 107778b5
    Johannes Goetzfried authored
    
    
    This patch adds a x86_64/avx assembler implementation of the Twofish 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 3way-parallel functions from the twofish-x86_64-3way
    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)
