crypto: aesni-intel - Ported implementation to x86-32
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The AES-NI instructions are also available in legacy mode so the 32-bit
architecture may profit from those, too.

To illustrate the performance gain here's a short summary of a dm-crypt
speed test on a Core i7 M620 running at 2.67GHz comparing both assembler
implementations:

x86:                   i568       aes-ni    delta
ECB, 256 bit:     93.8 MB/s   123.3 MB/s   +31.4%
CBC, 256 bit:     84.8 MB/s   262.3 MB/s  +209.3%
LRW, 256 bit:    108.6 MB/s   222.1 MB/s  +104.5%
XTS, 256 bit:    105.0 MB/s   205.5 MB/s   +95.7%

Additionally, due to some minor optimizations, the 64-bit version also
got a minor performance gain as seen below:

x86-64:           old impl.    new impl.    delta
ECB, 256 bit:    121.1 MB/s   123.0 MB/s    +1.5%
CBC, 256 bit:    285.3 MB/s   290.8 MB/s    +1.9%
LRW, 256 bit:    263.7 MB/s   265.3 MB/s    +0.6%
XTS, 256 bit:    251.1 MB/s   255.3 MB/s    +1.7%
