Description

twofish: add ARMv6 assembly implementation

* cipher/Makefile.am: Add 'twofish-armv6.S'.
* cipher/twofish-armv6.S: New.
* cipher/twofish.c (USE_ARMV6_ASM): New macro.
[USE_ARMV6_ASM] (_gcry_twofish_armv6_encrypt_block)
(_gcry_twofish_armv6_decrypt_block): New prototypes.
[USE_AMDV6_ASM] (twofish_encrypt, twofish_decrypt): Add.
[USE_AMD64_ASM] (do_twofish_encrypt, do_twofish_decrypt): Remove.
(_gcry_twofish_ctr_enc, _gcry_twofish_cfb_dec): Use 'twofish_encrypt'
instead of 'do_twofish_encrypt'.
(_gcry_twofish_cbc_dec): Use 'twofish_decrypt' instead of
'do_twofish_decrypt'.
* configure.ac [arm]: Add 'twofish-armv6.lo'.

Add optimized ARMv6 assembly implementation for Twofish. Implementation is tuned
for Cortex-A8. Unaligned access handling is done in assembly part.

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

Old (gcc-4.8) vs new (twofish-asm), Cortex-A8 (on armhf):
