From d366db605c8c4a9878589bc4a87e55f6063184ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jussi Kivilinna Date: Sat, 9 Jun 2012 18:25:46 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] crypto: arc4 - improve performance by using u32 for ctx and variables This patch changes u8 in struct arc4_ctx and variables to u32 (as AMD seems to have problem with u8 array). Below are tcrypt results of old 1-byte block cipher versus ecb(arc4) with u8 and ecb(arc4) with u32. tcrypt results, x86-64 (speed ratios: new-u32/old, new-u8/old): u32 u8 AMD Phenom II : x3.6 x2.7 Intel Core 2 : x2.0 x1.9 tcrypt results, i386 (speed ratios: new-u32/old, new-u8/old): u32 u8 Intel Atom N260 : x1.5 x1.4 Cc: Jon Oberheide Signed-off-by: Jussi Kivilinna Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu --- Reading git-format-patch failed
