Similar to the syndrome calculation, the recovery algorithms also work
on 64 bytes at a time to align with the L1 cache line size of current
and future LoongArch cores (that we care about). Which means
unrolled-by-4 LSX and unrolled-by-2 LASX code.
The assembly is originally based on the x86 SSSE3/AVX2 ports, but
register allocation has been redone to take advantage of LSX/LASX's 32
vector registers, and instruction sequence has been optimized to suit
(e.g. LoongArch can perform per-byte srl and andi on vectors, but x86
cannot).
Performance numbers measured by instrumenting the raid6test code, on a
3A5000 system clocked at 2.5GHz:
> lasx 2data: 354.987 MiB/s
> lasx datap: 350.430 MiB/s
> lsx 2data: 340.026 MiB/s
> lsx datap: 337.318 MiB/s
> intx1 2data: 164.280 MiB/s
> intx1 datap: 187.966 MiB/s
Because recovery algorithms are chosen solely based on priority and
availability, lasx is marked as priority 2 and lsx priority 1. At least
for the current generation of LoongArch micro-architectures, LASX should
always be faster than LSX whenever supported, and have similar power
consumption characteristics (because the only known LASX-capable uarch,
the LA464, always compute the full 256-bit result for vector ops).
