* crypto: crc32c-pclmul - Shrink K_table to 32-bit wordsGeorge Spelvin2014-06-201-142/+139
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's no need for the K_table to be made of 64-bit words. For some reason, the original authors didn't fully reduce the values modulo the CRC32C polynomial, and so had some 33-bit values in there. They can all be reduced to 32 bits. Doing that cuts the table size in half. Since the code depends on both pclmulq and crc32, SSE 4.1 is obviously present, so we can use pmovzxdq to fetch it in the correct format. This adds (measured on Ivy Bridge) 1 cycle per main loop iteration (CRC of up to 3K bytes), less than 0.2%. The hope is that the reduced D-cache footprint will make up the loss in other code. Two other related fixes: * K_table is read-only, so belongs in .rodata, and * There's no need for more than 8-byte alignment Acked-by: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: George Spelvin <linux@horizon.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* crypto: crc32-pclmul - Use gas macro for pclmulqdqSandy Wu2013-04-251-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | Occurs when CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRC32C_INTEL=y and CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRC32C_INTEL=y. Older versions of bintuils do not support the pclmulqdq instruction. The PCLMULQDQ gas macro is used instead. Signed-off-by: Sandy Wu <sandyw@twitter.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.8+ Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

* crypto: crc32c - Optimize CRC32C calculation with PCLMULQDQ instructionTim Chen2012-10-151-0/+460
This patch adds the crc_pcl function that calculates CRC32C checksum using the PCLMULQDQ instruction on processors that support this feature. This will provide speedup over using CRC32 instruction only. The usage of PCLMULQDQ necessitate the invocation of kernel_fpu_begin and kernel_fpu_end and incur some overhead. So the new crc_pcl function is only invoked for buffer size of 512 bytes or more. Larger sized buffers will expect to see greater speedup. This feature is best used coupled with eager_fpu which reduces the kernel_fpu_begin/end overhead. For buffer size of 1K the speedup is around 1.6x and for buffer size greater than 4K, the speedup is around 3x compared to original implementation in crc32c-intel module. Test was performed on Sandy Bridge based platform with constant frequency set for cpu.
