Acceleration of chacha20 on aarch64 by SVE
This patch accelerates chacha20 on aarch64 when Scalable Vector Extension
(SVE) is supported by CPU. Tested on modern micro-architecture with
256-bit SVE, it has the potential to improve performance up to 20%
The solution takes a hybrid approach. SVE will handle multi-blocks that fit
the SVE vector length, with Neon/Scalar to process any tail data
Test result:
With SVE
type 1024 bytes 8192 bytes 16384 bytes
ChaCha20
1596208.13k
1650010.79k
1653151.06k
Without SVE (by Neon/Scalar)
type 1024 bytes 8192 bytes 16384 bytes
chacha20
1355487.91k
1372678.83k
1372662.44k
