On x86_64, I just checked uops.info, only two ports are available for
rotr,rotl. They cannot really get paralleled executed.

Dependency is only an issue to a certain degree. 1st one it has things like
"movl%edi, %edx;  rorl$11, %edx" which is also a flow dependency.

CPU solves flow dependency to a very large degree with register forwarding.

Write dependencies are also dealt with register renaming if we save registers,
register renaming will also save time.

They mentioned that before. 40% improvement over compiler-generated code.
"I really wonder why gcc # [being armed with inline assembler] fails to
generate as fast code."

The problem I do things like sha512_round:
   
sha512_round(x[0]=big_endian(W[0]),a,b,d,e,f,g,h,bpc,0x428a2f98d728ae22);
sha512_round(x[1]=big_endian(W[1]),h,a,c,d,e,f,g,bpc,0x7137449123ef65cd);
sha512_round(x[2]=big_endian(W[2]),g,h,b,c,d,e,f,bpc,0xb5c0fbcfec4d3b2f);
sha512_round(x[3]=big_endian(W[3]),f,g,a,b,c,d,e,bpc,0xe9b5dba58189dbbc);
sha512_round(x[4]=big_endian(W[4]),e,f,h,a,b,c,d,bpc,0x3956c25bf348b538);

They use tons of registers. If GCC wastes registers, tons of time would waste
on stack push/load.

My implementation by GCC on x86_64 is slower than openssl's asm version
particularly due to this reason. GCC just pushes/stores too many values on the
stack.

https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/crypto/sha/asm/sha512-x86_64.pl#L192

OpenSSL does exactly what I do here.

This is a reassociation, scheduling issue and register allocation issue.

Plus your example might be slower due to dependencies.

Without a full example of where gcc ra goes wrong, gcc actually produces much
better code for this example due to register renaming in hw.
Note many x86_64 also does register renaming for the stack too
