This commit adds the new 'ctrAble' interface to the crypto/cipher package. The role of ctrAble is the same as gcmAble but for CTR instead of GCM. It allows block ciphers to provide optimized CTR implementations. The primary benefit of adding CTR support to the s390x AES implementation is that it allows us to encrypt the counter values in bulk, giving the cipher message instruction a larger chunk of data to work on per invocation. The xorBytes assembly is necessary because xorBytes becomes a bottleneck when CTR is done in this way. Hopefully it will be possible to remove this once s390x has migrated to the ssa backend. name old speed new speed delta AESCTR1K 160MB/s ± 6% 867MB/s ± 0% +442.42% (p=0.000 n=9+10) Change-Id: I1ae16b0ce0e2641d2bdc7d7eabc94dd35f6e9318 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/22195Reviewed-by: Adam Langley <agl@golang.org>
