Description

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 Intel® 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
