[PATCH 0/5] xor/arm: Replace vectorized version with intrinsics

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

Replace the compiler vectorized XOR implementation for ARM with the
existing NEON intrinsics implementation used by arm64. This is slightly
faster, and allows some minor cleanups of the type hacks in the headers
now that intrinsics are the only C code permitted to use FP/SIMD
instructions.

Performance (QEMU mach-virt VM running on Synquacer [Cortex-A53 @ 1 GHz]

Before:

[    3.519687] xor: measuring software checksum speed
[    3.521725]    neon            :  1660 MB/sec
[    3.524733]    32regs          :  1105 MB/sec
[    3.527751]    8regs           :  1098 MB/sec
[    3.529911]    arm4regs        :  1540 MB/sec

After:

[    3.517654] xor: measuring software checksum speed
[    3.519454]    neon            :  1896 MB/sec
[    3.522499]    32regs          :  1090 MB/sec
[    3.525560]    8regs           :  1083 MB/sec
[    3.527700]    arm4regs        :  1556 MB/sec

This applies onto Christoph's XOR cleanup series.

Ard Biesheuvel (5):
  ARM: Add a neon-intrinsics.h header like on arm64
  crypto: aegis128 - Use neon-intrinsics.h on ARM too
  xor/arm: Replace vectorized implementation with arm64's intrinsics
  xor/arm64: Use shared NEON intrinsics implementation from 32-bit ARM
  ARM: Remove hacked-up asm/types.h header
