![]() Counter mode is a stream cipher chaining mode that is typically used with inputs that are of arbitrarily length, and so a tail block which is smaller than a full AES block is rule rather than exception. The current ctr(aes) implementation for arm64 always makes a separate call into the assembler routine to process this tail block, which is suboptimal, given that it requires reloading of the AES round keys, and prevents us from handling this tail block using the 5-way stride that we use for better performance on deep pipelines. So let's update the assembler routine so it can handle any input size, and uses NEON permutation instructions and overlapping loads and stores to handle the tail block. This results in a ~16% speedup for 1420 byte blocks on cores with deep pipelines such as ThunderX2.
