This set introduces an optimized powerpc64 assembly implementation for SHA256 and SHA512. This have been derived from BSD-2-Clause licensed code authored by IBM, originally released in the IBM POWER Cryptography Reference Implementation project[1], modified to work in Nettle, contributed under the GPL license.
Development of this new implementation targetted POWER 10, however supports the POWER 8 ISA and above. The following commits provide the performance data I recorded on POWER 10, though similar improvements can be found on P8/P9. As an aside: I have tested this patch set on POWER 8 and POWER 10 hardware running little-endian linux distributions, however I have not yet been able to test on a big-endian distro. I can confirm however that the original source in IPCRI does compile and pass tests for both little and big endian via qemu-user, so spare human error in deriving the version for Nettle, it is expected to be functional.
