[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/5] optimized Toeplitz hash implementation

[Vladimir Medvedkin]

This patch series adds a new optimized implementation for the Toeplitz hash
function using Galois Fields New instruction (GFNI).
The main use case of this function is to calculate the hash value for a single
data, so there is no bulk implementation.
For performance reasons, the implementation was placed in a public header.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the platform supports GFNI
(by doing runtime checks of rte_thash_gfni_supported variable) before calling
these functions.

v2:
- fixed typos
- made big_rss_key static const and indented
- addressed Konstantin's comments

Vladimir Medvedkin (5):
  hash: add new toeplitz hash implementation
  hash: enable gfni thash implementation
  doc/hash: update documentation for the thash library
  test/thash: add tests for a new Toeplitz hash function
  test/thash: add performance tests for the Toeplitz hash
