Description

blowfish: add ARMv6 assembly implementation

* cipher/Makefile.am: Add 'blowfish-armv6.S'.
* cipher/blowfish-armv6.S: New file.
* cipher/blowfish.c (USE_ARMV6_ASM): New macro.
[USE_ARMV6_ASM] (_gcry_blowfish_armv6_do_encrypt)
(_gcry_blowfish_armv6_encrypt_block)
(_gcry_blowfish_armv6_decrypt_block, _gcry_blowfish_armv6_ctr_enc)
(_gcry_blowfish_armv6_cbc_dec, _gcry_blowfish_armv6_cfb_dec): New
prototypes.
[USE_ARMV6_ASM] (do_encrypt, do_encrypt_block, do_decrypt_block)
(encrypt_block, decrypt_block): New functions.
(_gcry_blowfish_ctr_enc) [USE_ARMV6_ASM]: Use ARMv6 assembly function.
(_gcry_blowfish_cbc_dec) [USE_ARMV6_ASM]: Use ARMv6 assembly function.
(_gcry_blowfish_cfb_dec) [USE_ARMV6_ASM]: Use ARMv6 assembly function.
* configure.ac (blowfish) [arm]: Add 'blowfish-armv6.lo'.

Patch provides non-parallel implementations for small speed-up and 2-way
parallel implementations that gets accelerated on multi-issue CPUs (hand-tuned
for in-order dual-issue Cortex-A8). Unaligned access handling is done in
assembly.

For now, only enable this on little-endian systems as big-endian correctness
have not been tested yet.

Old vs new (Cortex-A8, Debian Wheezy/armhf):
