[PATCH v2 5/5] lib/raid6: add ARM-NEON accelerated syndrome calculation

Ard Biesheuvel ard.biesheuvel at linaro.org
Tue Jun 25 16:24:51 EDT 2013


Rebased/reworked a patch contributed by Rob Herring that uses
NEON intrinsics to perform the RAID-6 syndrome calculations.
It uses the existing unroll.awk code to generate several
unrolled versions of which the best performing one is selected
at boot time.
