From 751ba79cc552c146595cd439b21c4ff8998c3b69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Brown Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2017 13:42:32 +1000 Subject: lib/raid6/altivec: Add vpermxor implementation for raid6 Q syndrome This patch uses the vpermxor instruction to optimise the raid6 Q syndrome. This instruction was made available with POWER8, ISA version 2.07. It allows for both vperm and vxor instructions to be done in a single instruction. This has been tested for correctness on a ppc64le vm with a basic RAID6 setup containing 5 drives. The performance benchmarks are from the raid6test in the /lib/raid6/test directory. These results are from an IBM Firestone machine with ppc64le architecture. The benchmark results show a 35% speed increase over the best existing algorithm for powerpc (altivec). The raid6test has also been run on a big-endian ppc64 vm to ensure it also works for big-endian architectures.
