Subject: Re: SSSE3 PSHUFB (was: AMD Bulldozer and XOP)
Hello Alexander,
Yes, it was the SSSE3 PSHUFB instruction. I am not that well acquainted
with the JtR code, so that I guess it would be better if someone that knows
what he's doing applies such a change.
The overall idea is very simple - since SHA1 expects input in w[0]...w[15]
to be in big-endian byte order (and the final result needs to be converted
to little-endian), we have two options - either do it before we load input
into xmm registers (slow), or use some bitwise magic with SSE2. What I used
before was some bit twiddling hack using several bitwise operations. I
realized that this can be performed using just one PSHUFB instruction, like
that:
__m128i swapmask = _mm_set_epi32(0x00010203, 0x04050607, 0x08090a0b,
0x0c0d0e0f );
#define SSE_Endian_Reverse(a) \
{ \
__m128i l=(a); \
(a)=_mm_shuffle_epi8(l, swapmask); \
}
It was just an idea, but it turned out to work fine.
Regards,
