From 99f42f937a080995b34e1ed75ed6934b5f96f9ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jussi Kivilinna Date: Sat, 8 Jun 2013 12:17:47 +0300 Subject: Revert "crypto: twofish - add AVX2/x86_64 assembler implementation of twofish cipher" This reverts commit cf1521a1a5e21fd1e79a458605c4282fbfbbeee2. Instruction (vpgatherdd) that this implementation relied on turned out to be slow performer on real hardware (i5-4570). The previous 8-way twofish/AVX implementation is therefore faster and this implementation should be removed. Converting this implementation to use the same method as in twofish/AVX for table look-ups would give additional ~3% speed up vs twofish/AVX, but would hardly be worth of the added code and binary size.
