[PATCH 0/6] x86: new optimized CRC functions, with VPCLMULQDQ support

[Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>]

This patchset is also available in git via:

    git fetch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux.git crc-x86-v1

This patchset applies on top of my other recent CRC patchsets
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241103223154.136127-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/ and
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241117002244.105200-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/ .
Consider it a preview for what may be coming next, as my priority is
getting those two other patchsets merged first.

This patchset adds a new assembly macro that expands into the body of a
CRC function for x86 for the specified number of bits, bit order, vector
length, and AVX level.  There's also a new script that generates the
constants needed by this function, given a CRC generator polynomial.

This approach allows easily wiring up an x86-optimized implementation of
any variant of CRC-8, CRC-16, CRC-32, or CRC-64, including full support
for VPCLMULQDQ.  On long messages the resulting functions are up to 4x
faster than the existing PCLMULQDQ optimized functions when they exist,
or up to 29x faster than the existing table-based functions.

This patchset starts by wiring up the new macro for crc32_le,
crc_t10dif, and crc32_be.  Later I'd also like to wire up crc64_be and
crc64_rocksoft, once the design of the library functions for those has
been fixed to be like what I'm doing for crc32* and crc_t10dif.

A similar approach of sharing code between CRC variants, and vector
lengths when applicable, should work for other architectures.  The CRC
constant generation script should be mostly reusable.
