    crypto: poly1305 - Add a SSE2 SIMD variant for x86_64 · c70f4abe
    Martin Willi authored
    
    
    Implements an x86_64 assembler driver for the Poly1305 authenticator. This
    single block variant holds the 130-bit integer in 5 32-bit words, but uses
    SSE to do two multiplications/additions in parallel.
    
    When calling updates with small blocks, the overhead for kernel_fpu_begin/
    kernel_fpu_end() negates the perfmance gain. We therefore use the
    poly1305-generic fallback for small updates.
    
    For large messages, throughput increases by ~5-10% compared to
    poly1305-generic:
