23119ffb4e (block-sha1: put expanded macro parameters in parentheses,
2012-07-22) added a trailing semicolon to the definition of SHA_MIX
without explanation. It doesn't matter with the current code, but make
sure to avoid potential surprises by removing it again.
This allows the macro to be used almost like a function: Users can
combine it with operators of their choice, but still must not pass an
expression with side-effects as a parameter, as it would be evaluated
multiple times.

The block-sha1 implementation takes an "unsigned long" for the length of
a buffer to hash, but our hash algorithm wrappers take a size_t, as do
other implementations we support like openssl or sha1dc. On many
systems, including Linux, these two are equivalent, but they are not on
Windows (where only a "long long" is 64 bits). As a result, passing
large chunks to a single the_hash_algo->update_fn() would produce wrong
answers there.
Note that we don't need to update any other sizes outside of the
function interface. We store the cumulative size in a "long long" (which
we must do since we hash things bigger than 4GB, like packfiles, even on
32-bit platforms). And internally, we break that size_t len down into
64-byte blocks to feed into the guts of the algorithm.

The code to load a word one-byte-at-a-time was optimized into a
word-wide load instruction even when the pointer was not aligned,
which caused issues on architectures that do not like unaligned
access.

With 660231aa (block-sha1: support for architectures with memory
alignment restrictions, 2009-08-12), blk_SHA1_Update was modified to
access 32-bit chunks of memory one byte at a time on arches that
prefer that:
#define get_be32(p) ( \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 0) << 24) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 1) << 16) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 2) << 8) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 3) << 0) )
The code previously accessed these values by just using htonl(*p).
Unfortunately, Michael noticed on an Alpha machine that git was using
plain 32-bit reads anyway. As soon as we convert a pointer to int *,
the compiler can assume that the object pointed to is correctly
aligned as an int (C99 section 6.3.2.3 "pointer conversions"
paragraph 7), and gcc takes full advantage by using a single 32-bit
load, resulting in a whole bunch of unaligned access traps.
So we need to obey the alignment constraints even when only dealing
with pointers instead of actual values. Do so by changing the type
of 'data' to void *. This patch renames 'data' to 'block' at the same
time to make sure all references are updated to reflect the new type.

This is needed on architectures with poor or non-existent unaligned memory
support and/or no fast byte swap instruction (such as ARM) by using byte
accesses to memory and shifting the result together.
This also makes the code portable, therefore the byte access methods are
the defaults. Any architecture that properly supports unaligned word
accesses in hardware simply has to enable the alternative methods.

For x86 performance (especially in 32-bit mode) I added that hack to write
the SHA1 internal temporary hash using a volatile pointer, in order to get
gcc to not try to cache the array contents. Because gcc will do all the
wrong things, and then spill things in insane random ways.
But on architectures like PPC, where you have 32 registers, it's actually
perfectly reasonable to put the whole temporary array[] into the register
set, and gcc can do so.
So make the 'volatile unsigned int *' cast be dependent on a
SMALL_REGISTER_SET preprocessor symbol, and enable it (currently) on just
x86 and x86-64. With that, the routine is fairly reasonable even when
compared to the hand-scheduled PPC version. Ben Herrenschmidt reports on
a G5:
* Paulus asm version: about 3.67s
* Yours with no change: about 5.74s
* Yours without "volatile": about 3.78s
so with this the C version is within about 3% of the asm one.
And add a lot of commentary on what the heck is going on.

notice? I outperform all the hand-tuned asm on 32-bit too. By quite a
margin, in fact.
Now, I didn't try a P4, and it's possible that it won't do that there, but
the 32-bit code generation sure looks impressive on my Nehalem box. The
magic? I force the stores to the 512-bit hash bucket to be done in order.
That seems to help a lot.
The diff is trivial (on top of the "rename registers with cpp" patch), as
appended. And it does seem to fix the P4 issues too, although I can
obviously (once again) only test Prescott, and only in 64-bit mode:

The mozilla-SHA1 code did this 80-word array for the 80 iterations. But
the SHA1 state is really just 512 bits, and you can actually keep it in
a kind of "circular queue" of just 16 words instead.
This requires us to do the xor updates as we go along (rather than as a
pre-phase), but that's really what we want to do anyway.
This gets me really close to the OpenSSL performance on my Nehalem.
