    crypto: chacha20 - Add an eight block AVX2 variant for x86_64 · 3d1e93cd
    Martin Willi authored
    Extends the x86_64 ChaCha20 implementation by a function processing eight
    ChaCha20 blocks in parallel using AVX2.
    
    For large messages, throughput increases by ~55-70% compared to four block
    SSSE3:
