crypto/elliptic: reduce allocations in s390x P256 code
The Go compiler assumes that pointers escape when passed into assembly functions. To override this behavior we can annotate assembly functions with go:noescape, telling the compiler that we know pointers do not escape from it. By annotating the assembly functions in the s390x P256 code in this way we enable more variables to be allocated on the stack rather than the heap, reducing the number of heap allocations required to execute this code: name old alloc/op new alloc/op delta SignP256 3.66kB ± 0% 2.64kB ± 0% -27.95% (p=0.008 n=5+5) VerifyP256 4.46kB ± 0% 1.23kB ± 0% -72.40% (p=0.008 n=5+5) name old allocs/op new allocs/op delta SignP256 40.0 ± 0% 31.0 ± 0% -22.50% (p=0.008 n=5+5) VerifyP256 41.0 ± 0% 24.0 ± 0% -41.46% (p=0.008 n=5+5) Change-Id: Id526c30c9b04b2ad79a55d76cab0e30cc8d60402 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/66230 Run-TryBot: Michael Munday <mike.munday@ibm.com> TryBot-Result: Gobot Gobot <gobot@golang.org> Reviewed-by: Ian Lance Taylor <iant@golang.org>
