Merge patch series "riscv: Add fine-tuned checksum functions"
Charlie Jenkins <charlie@rivosinc.com> says:
Each architecture generally implements fine-tuned checksum functions to
leverage the instruction set. This patch adds the main checksum
functions that are used in networking. Tested on QEMU, this series
allows the CHECKSUM_KUNIT tests to complete an average of 50.9% faster.
This patch takes heavy use of the Zbb extension using alternatives
patching.
To test this patch, enable the configs for KUNIT, then CHECKSUM_KUNIT.
I have attempted to make these functions as optimal as possible, but I
have not ran anything on actual riscv hardware. My performance testing
has been limited to inspecting the assembly, running the algorithms on
x86 hardware, and running in QEMU.
ip_fast_csum is a relatively small function so even though it is
possible to read 64 bits at a time on compatible hardware, the
bottleneck becomes the clean up and setup code so loading 32 bits at a
time is actually faster.
* b4-shazam-merge:
kunit: Add tests for csum_ipv6_magic and ip_fast_csum
riscv: Add checksum library
riscv: Add checksum header
riscv: Add static key for misaligned accesses
asm-generic: Improve csum_fold
