[PATCH 3/4] arm64/lib: add accelerated crc32 routines

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Mon Aug 27 2018 - 07:03:09 EST


Unlike crc32c(), which is wired up to the crypto API internally so the
optimal driver is selected based on the platform's capabilities,
crc32_le() is implemented as a library function using a slice-by-8 table
based C implementation. Even though few of the call sites may be
bottlenecks, calling a time variant implementation with a non-negligible
D-cache footprint is a bit of a waste, given that ARMv8.1 and up mandates
support for the CRC32 instructions that were optional in ARMv8.0, but are
already widely available, even on the Cortex-A53 based Raspberry Pi.

So implement routines that use these instructions if available, and fall
back to the existing generic routines otherwise. The selection is based
on alternatives patching.

Note that this unconditionally selects CONFIG_CRC32 as a builtin. Since
CRC32 is relied upon by core functionality such as CONFIG_OF_FLATTREE,
this just codifies the status quo.
