Like the implementation of AESNI/AVX, this patch adds an accelerated
implementation of AESNI/AVX2. In terms of code implementation, by
reusing AESNI/AVX mode-related codes, the amount of code is greatly
reduced. From the benchmark data, it can be seen that when the block
size is 1024, compared to AVX acceleration, the performance achieved
by AVX2 has increased by about 70%, it is also 7.7 times of the pure
software implementation of sm4-generic.

The main algorithm implementation comes from SM4 AES-NI work by
libgcrypt and Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen at:
https://github.com/mjosaarinen/sm4ni

This optimization supports the four modes of SM4, ECB, CBC, CFB,
and CTR. Since CBC and CFB do not support multiple block parallel
encryption, the optimization effect is not obvious.

implementation methods, pure software sm4-generic, aesni/avx
acceleration, and aesni/avx2 acceleration, the data comes f...
