lib/raid6: Add AVX512 optimized recovery functions

2016-09-21T16:09:44Z

Optimize RAID6 recovery functions to take advantage of the 512-bit ZMM integer instructions introduced in AVX512. AVX512 optimized recovery functions, which is simply based on recov_avx2.c written by Jim Kukunas This patch was tested and benchmarked before submission on a hardware that has AVX512 flags to support such instructions Cc: Jim Kukunas Cc: H.

RAID: add tilegx SIMD implementation of raid6

2013-08-27T06:05:50Z

This change adds TILE-Gx SIMD instructions to the software raid (md), modeling the Altivec implementation. This is only for Syndrome generation; there is more that could be done to improve recovery, as in the recent Intel SSE3 recovery implementation. The code unrolls 8 times; this turns out to be the best on tilegx hardware among the set 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16. The code reads one cache-line of data from each disk, stores P and Q then goes to the next cache-line. The test code in sys/linux/lib/raid6/test reports 2008 MB/s data read rate for syndrome generation using 18 disks (16 data and 2 parity). It was 1512 MB/s before this SIMD optimizations. This is running on 1 core with all the data in cache. This is based on the paper The Mathematics of RAID-6. (http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hpa/raid6.pdf).

lib/raid6: add ARM-NEON accelerated syndrome calculation

2013-07-08T21:09:18Z

Rebased/reworked a patch contributed by Rob Herring that uses NEON intrinsics to perform the RAID-6 syndrome calculations. It uses the existing unroll.awk code to generate several unrolled versions of which the best performing one is selected at boot time.

lib/raid6: build proper files on corresponding arch

sse and avx2 stuff only exist on x86 arch, and we don't need to build altivec on x86. And we can do that at lib/raid6/Makefile. Proposed-by: H. Peter Anvin Signed-off-by: Yuanhan Liu Reviewed-by: H. Peter Anvin Signed-off-by: Jim Kukunas Signed-off-by: NeilBrown
