[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 0/4] optimized Toeplitz hash implementation

[Vladimir Medvedkin <vladimir.medvedkin@intel.com>]

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.

v6:
- addressed Thomas and Stephen's comments
- squash the doc and test commith with the relevant code addition
- split for 2 patches, each per implementation - single and bulk

v5:
- rebase on the latest main
- fix spelling

v4:
- included rte_log.h inside the rte_thash_gfni.h

v3:
- implementation moved to x86 specific header
- added rte_thash_gfni_supported() instead of the variable
- removed RTE_INIT section, due to adding rte_thash_gfni_supported()
- reworked rte_thash_complete_matrix() to make it easier tor read

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

Vladimir Medvedkin (4):
  hash: add new toeplitz hash implementation
  hash: add bulk toeplitz hash implementation
  hash: enable gfni thash implementation
  test/thash: add performance tests for the Toeplitz hash
