Fletcher4 algorithm implemented in pure NEON for Aarch64 / ARMv8 64 bits
This is not useful on micro-architecture with a weak NEON implementation (only 64 bits); the native version is slower & the byteswap barely faster than scalar. On A53 or A57, it's a small improvement on scalar but OK for byteswap. Results from an A53 system: 0 0 0x01 -1 0 1499068294333000 1499101101878000 implementation native byteswap scalar 1008227510 755880264 aarch64_neon 1198098720 1044818671 fastest aarch64_neon aarch64_neon Results from a A57 system: 0 0 0x01 -1 0 4407214734807033 4407233933777404 implementation native byteswap scalar 2302071241 1124873346 aarch64_neon 2542214946 2245570352 fastest aarch64_neon aarch64_neon Reviewed-by: Gvozden Neskovic <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Romain Dolbeau <[email protected]> Closes #5248
