SHA-512: Add AVX and AVX2 implementations for x86-64
* cipher/Makefile.am: Add 'sha512-avx-amd64.S' and 'sha512-avx2-bmi2-amd64.S'. * cipher/sha512-avx-amd64.S: New. * cipher/sha512-avx2-bmi2-amd64.S: New. * cipher/sha512.c (USE_AVX, USE_AVX2): New. (SHA512_CONTEXT) [USE_AVX]: Add 'use_avx'. (SHA512_CONTEXT) [USE_AVX2]: Add 'use_avx2'. (sha512_init, sha384_init) [USE_AVX]: Initialize 'use_avx'. (sha512_init, sha384_init) [USE_AVX2]: Initialize 'use_avx2'. [USE_AVX] (_gcry_sha512_transform_amd64_avx): New. [USE_AVX2] (_gcry_sha512_transform_amd64_avx2): New. (transform) [USE_AVX2]: Add call for AVX2 implementation. (transform) [USE_AVX]: Add call for AVX implementation. * configure.ac (HAVE_GCC_INLINE_ASM_BMI2): New check. (sha512): Add 'sha512-avx-amd64.lo' and 'sha512-avx2-bmi2-amd64.lo'. * doc/gcrypt.texi: Document 'intel-cpu' and 'intel-bmi2'. * src/g10lib.h (HWF_INTEL_CPU, HWF_INTEL_BMI2): New. * src/hwfeatures.c (hwflist): Add "intel-cpu" and "intel-bmi2". * src/hwf-x86.c (detect_x86_gnuc): Check for HWF_INTEL_CPU and HWF_INTEL_BMI2. -- Patch adds fast AVX and AVX2 implementation of SHA-512 by Intel Corporation. The assembly source is licensed under 3-clause BSD license, thus compatible with LGPL2.1+. Original source can be accessed at: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/embedded/hwsw/technology/packet-processing#docs Implementation is described in white paper "Fast SHA512 Implementations on IntelĀ® Architecture Processors" http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/intel-technology/fast-sha512-implementat$ Note: AVX implementation uses SHLD instruction to emulate RORQ, since it's faster on Intel Sandy-Bridge. However, on non-Intel CPUs SHLD is much slower than RORQ, so therefore AVX implementation is (for now) limited to Intel CPUs. Note: AVX2 implementation also uses BMI2 instruction rorx, thus additional HWF flag.
