Subject: [PATCH 2/2] lib/crypto: x86/sha512: Partially roll up sha512_transform_ssse3()
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 00:28:39 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112082839.414786-3-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112082839.414786-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>

Currently, sha512_transform_ssse3() unrolls all 80 SHA-512 rounds,
generating 13.4 KB of text.  This is wasted on most systems, which
execute the AVX2 code anyway.  And it's also likely to be harmful on
systems that do run this code, due to cache pollution.

Roll up rounds 14 through 77 into 8 groups of 8 rounds.  This requires
some additional GPRs, as the offsets into the message schedule words and
round constants are no longer immediates.  Therefore, free up two GPRs
by spilling the 'digest' and 'msglen' arguments to the stack; use them
to store a pointer to the round constants and an offset into it.

This reduces the text size from 13.4 KB to 3.3 KB.  (For some
perspective, the 10.1 KB saved is greater than the size of all four
variants of the AES-XTS assembly code combined at 7.5 KB.)

I also ran the sha512 benchmark on a Haswell system (the oldest I could
easily get access to) with the AVX and AVX2 code disabled.  SHA-512
throughput actually increased by 5% as a result of this commit, likely
as a result of the code fitting much better into caches.
