lib/raid6/altivec: Add vpermxor implementation for raid6 Q syndrome
This patch uses the vpermxor instruction to optimise the raid6 Q syndrome. This instruction was made available with POWER8, ISA version 2.07. It allows for both vperm and vxor instructions to be done in a single instruction. This has been tested for correctness on a ppc64le vm with a basic RAID6 setup containing 5 drives. The performance benchmarks are from the raid6test in the /lib/raid6/test directory. These results are from an IBM Firestone machine with ppc64le architecture. The benchmark results show a 35% speed increase over the best existing algorithm for powerpc (altivec). The raid6test has also been run on a big-endian ppc64 vm to ensure it also works for big-endian architectures. Performance benchmarks: raid6: altivecx4 gen() 18773 MB/s raid6: altivecx8 gen() 19438 MB/s raid6: vpermxor4 gen() 25112 MB/s raid6: vpermxor8 gen() 26279 MB/s Signed-off-by: Matt Brown <matthew.brown.dev@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Axtens <dja@axtens.net> [mpe: Add VPERMXOR macro so we can build with old binutils] Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
