# The module implements "4-bit" GCM GHASH function and underlying
# single multiplication operation in GF(2^128). "4-bit" means that it
# uses 256 bytes per-key table [+128 bytes shared table]. On PA-7100LC
# it processes one byte in 19 cycles, which is more than twice as fast
# as code generated by gcc 3.2. PA-RISC 2.0 loop is scheduled for 8
# cycles, but measured performance on PA-8600 system is ~9 cycles per

# processed byte. This is ~2.2x faster than 64-bit code generated by
# vendor compiler (which used to be very hard to beat:-).

# Before we proceed to this implementation let's have closer look at
# the best-performing code suggested by Intel in their white paper.
# By tracing inter-register dependencies Tmod is estimated as ~19
# cycles and Naggr is 4, resulting in 2.05 cycles per processed byte.
# As implied, this is quite optimistic estimate, because it does not
# account for Karatsuba pre- and post-processing, which for a single
# multiplication is ~5 cycles. Unfortunately Intel does not provide
# performance data for GHASH alone, only for fused GCM mode. But
# we can estimate it by subtracting CTR performance result provided
# in "AES Instruction Set" white paper: 3.54-1.38=2.16 cycles per
# processed byte or 5% off the estimate. It should be noted though
# that 3.54 is GCM result for 16KB block size, while 1.38 is CTR for
# 1KB block size, meaning that real number is likely to be a bit
# further from estimate.

# because it does not account for Karatsuba pre- and post-processing,
# which for a single multiplication is ~5 cycles. Unfortunately Intel
# does not provide performance data for GHASH alone. But benchmarking
# AES_GCM_encrypt ripped out of Fig. 15 of the white paper with aadt
# alone resulted in 2.46 cycles per byte of out 16KB buffer. Note that
# the result accounts even for pre-computing of degrees of the hash
# key H, but its portion is negligible at 16KB buffer size.
#
# Moving on to the implementation in question. Tmod is estimated as
# ~13 cycles and Naggr is 2, giving asymptotic performance of ...
# 2.16. How is it possible that measured performance is better than
# optimistic theoretical estimate? There is one thing Intel failed
# to recognize. By fusing GHASH with CTR former's performance is
# really limited to above (Tmul + Tmod/Naggr) equation. But if GHASH
# procedure is detached, the modulo-reduction can be interleaved with
# Naggr-1 multiplications and under ideal conditions even disappear
# from the equation. So that optimistic theoretical estimate for this
# implementation is ... 28/16=1.75, and not 2.16. Well, it's probably
# way too optimistic, at least for such small Naggr. I'd argue that
# (28+Tproc/Naggr), where Tproc is time required for Karatsuba pre-
# and post-processing, is more realistic estimate. In this case it
# gives ... 1.91 cycles per processed byte. Or in other words,
# depending on how well we can interleave reduction and one of the
# two multiplications the performance should be betwen 1.91 and 2.16.
# As already mentioned, this implementation processes one byte [out
# of 1KB buffer] in 2.13 cycles, while x86_64 counterpart - in 2.07.
# x86_64 performance is better, because larger register bank allows
# to interleave reduction and multiplication better.
