[PATCH 1/1] arm64: Add ARM64 optimized IP checksum routine

Tue May 10 11:27:27 PDT 2016


This change implements an optimized checksum for arm64, based loosely on
the original arch/arm implementation.  Load-pair is used for the initial
16B load, reducing the overall number of loads to two for packets without
IP options.  Instruction count is reduced by ~3x compared to generic C
implementation.  Changes were tested against LE and BE operation and for
all possible mis-alignments.
