      lib: introduce arch optimized hash library · 71ae8aac
      Francesco Fusco 提交于
      We introduce a new hashing library that is meant to be used in
      the contexts where speed is more important than uniformity of the
      hashed values. The hash library leverages architecture specific
      implementation to achieve high performance and fall backs to
      jhash() for the generic case.
      
      On Intel-based x86 architectures, the library can exploit the crc32l
      instruction, part of the Intel SSE4.2 instruction set, if the
      instruction is supported by the processor. This implementation
      is twice as fast as the jhash() implementation on an i7 processor.
      
      Additional architectures, such as Arm64 provide instructions for
      accelerating the computation of CRC, so they could be added as well
      in follow-up work.
