crypto: twofish - add 3-way parallel x86_64 assembler implemention
Patch adds 3-way parallel x86_64 assembly implementation of twofish as new
module. New assembler functions crypt data in three blocks chunks, improving
cipher performance on out-of-order CPUs.
Patch has been tested with tcrypt and automated filesystem tests.
Summary of the tcrypt benchmarks:
Twofish 3-way-asm vs twofish asm (128bit 8kb block ECB)
encrypt: 1.3x speed
decrypt: 1.3x speed
Twofish 3-way-asm vs twofish asm (128bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: 1.07x speed
decrypt: 1.4x speed
Twofish 3-way-asm vs twofish asm (128bit 8kb block CTR)
encrypt: 1.4x speed
Twofish 3-way-asm vs AES asm (128bit 8kb block ECB)
encrypt: 1.0x speed
decrypt: 1.0x speed
Twofish 3-way-asm vs AES asm (128bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: 0.84x speed
decrypt: 1.09x speed
Twofish 3-way-asm vs AES asm (128bit 8kb block CTR)
encrypt: 1.15x speed
