2019-02-28	lib/raid6: arm: optimize away a mask operation in NEON recovery routine	Ard Biesheuvel	1	-6/+6
	The NEON recovery code was modeled after the x86 SIMD code, and for some reason, that code uses a 16 bit wide signed shift and a mask to perform what amounts to a 8 bit unsigned shift. So fold the ops together. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2019-02-28	lib/raid6: use vdupq_n_u8 to avoid endianness warnings	ndesaulniers@google.com	1	-5/+2
	Clang warns: vector initializers are not compatible with NEON intrinsics in big endian mode [-Wnonportable-vector-initialization] While this is usually the case, it's not an issue for this case since we're initializing the uint8x16_t (16x uint8_t's) with the same value. Instead, use vdupq_n_u8 which both compilers lower into a single movi instruction: https://godbolt.org/z/vBrgzt This avoids the static storage for a constant value.
