crypto: cast6-avx - tune assembler code for more performance
Patch replaces 'movb' instructions with 'movzbl' to break false register dependencies, interleaves instructions better for out-of-order scheduling and merges constant 16-bit rotation with round-key variable rotation. tcrypt ECB results: Intel Core i5-2450M: size old-vs-new new-vs-generic old-vs-generic enc dec enc dec enc dec 256 1.13x 1.19x 2.05x 2.17x 1.82x 1.82x 1k 1.18x 1.21x 2.26x 2.33x 1.93x 1.93x 8k 1.19x 1.19x 2.32x 2.33x 1.95x 1.95x [v2] - Do instruction interleaving another way to avoid adding new FPU<=>CPU register moves as these cause performance drop on Bulldozer. - Improvements to round-key variable rotation handling. - Further interleaving improvements for better out-of-order scheduling.
