Subject: [PATCH] Using Intel CRC32 instruction to accelerate CRC32c algorithm by new crypto API -V3.

Revised by comments:
Add 'static' for limitation namespace;
Resend for fixing lines-folded by adjusting evolution config;
(The patch was created against 2.6.27-rc1)

>From NHM processor onward, Intel processors can support hardware accelerated
CRC32c algorithm with the new CRC32 instruction in SSE 4.2 instruction set.
The patch detects the availability of the feature, and chooses the most proper
way to calculate CRC32c checksum.
Byte code instructions are used for compiler compatibility.
No MMX / XMM registers is involved in the implementation.

This is not user visible, so le32 should be enough.

Unfortunately I don't think le32 exists, it'd definitely be nice
to have it though.

What's big impact if keep those underscores? Just keep ANSI C style.

Are you suggest "ENODEV"? It's a feature from the device but the device is exact here.
And for the crc32c algorithm, there would be possible that several
algorithms registered themselves in crypto and user will don't care
which implementation will server him even the hardware accelerated
implementation don't exist in this processor.

Yes I think this should be ENODEV to be consistent with the
existing drivers such as padlock-aes.c.

I'll make that change in cryptodev.

In fact I'm going to kill that printk altogether since the fact
that this feature doesn't exist isn't an error.

Well, it should normally go to comment at the beggining of file.

I think you want to use

#define SCALE_F sizeof(unsigned long)

Since the loop iteration count etc depends on

ptmp++

which depends on the type being unsigned long.

Yeah in general that's what we should do. However, this driver
is specific to Intel x86 CPUs.

However if someone were to post a patch to do this I would happily
apply it.

I thought we support intel x86 cpus in both 32 and 64bit modes...?

Yes we do, but the original patch had ugly ifdefs that did the
same thing.
