crypto: algapi - annotate expected branch behavior in crypto_inc()
To prevent unnecessary branching, mark the exit condition of the primary loop as likely(), given that a carry in a 32-bit counter occurs very rarely. On arm64, the resulting code is emitted by GCC as 9a8: cmp w1, #0x3 9ac: add x3, x0, w1, uxtw 9b0: b.ls 9e0 <crypto_inc+0x38> 9b4: ldr w2, [x3,#-4]! 9b8: rev w2, w2 9bc: add w2, w2, #0x1 9c0: rev w4, w2 9c4: str w4, [x3] 9c8: cbz w2, 9d0 <crypto_inc+0x28> 9cc: ret where the two remaining branch conditions (one for size < 4 and one for the carry) are statically predicted as non-taken, resulting in optimal execution in the vast majority of cases. Also, replace the open coded alignment test with IS_ALIGNED(). Cc: Jason A.
