[PATCH v2 0/3] crypto: arm64/chacha - performance improvements

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Improve the performance of NEON based ChaCha:

Patch #1 adds a block size of 1472 to the tcrypt test template so we have
something that reflects the VPN case.

Patch #2 improves performance for arbitrary length inputs: on deep pipelines,
throughput increases ~30% when running on inputs blocks whose size is drawn
randomly from the interval [64, 1024)

Patch #3 adopts the OpenSSL approach to use the ALU in parallel with the
SIMD unit to process a fifth block while the SIMD is operating on 4 blocks.

Performance on Cortex-A57:

Ard Biesheuvel (3):
  crypto: tcrypt - add block size of 1472 to skcipher template
  crypto: arm64/chacha - optimize for arbitrary length inputs
  crypto: arm64/chacha - use combined SIMD/ALU routine for more speed
