Slightly Faster AES-XTS Performance For AVX-512 CPUs Expected With Linux 6.16
In recent kernel releases there have been performance enhancements to the AES implementations and other cryptographic subsystem code for speeding up the performance on modern Intel and AMD processors
With Linux 6.16 there will be at least some additional small gains to find with Intel and AMD processors bearing AVX-512 when employing AES-XTS. This patch provides some small improvements to the AES-XTS performance for Intel and AMD x86_64 CPUs with AVX-512, on top of all the other enhancements made in prior months. Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
