crypto: cast6-avx - tune assembler code for more performance
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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:

        enc     dec     enc     dec     enc     dec

[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.
