raid6: move to lib/raid/

2026-05-29T04:24:53+00:00

Move the raid6 code to live in lib/raid/ with the XOR code, and change the internal organization so that each architecture has a subdirectory similar to the CRC, crypto and XOR libraries, and fix up the Makefile to only build files actually needed. Also move the kunit test case from the history test/ subdirectory to tests/ and use the normal naming scheme for it.

raid6: remove KERNEL ifdefs

2026-05-29T04:24:52+00:00

With the test code ported to kernel space, none of this is required.

x86: update AS_* macros to binutils >=2.23, supporting ADX and AVX2

2020-04-08T15:12:48+00:00

Now that the kernel specifies binutils 2.23 as the minimum version, we can remove ifdefs for AVX2 and ADX throughout. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

x86/raid6: correctly check for assembler capabilities

2015-02-03T21:35:51+00:00

Just like for AVX2 (which simply needs an #if -> #ifdef conversion), SSSE3 assembler support should be checked for before using it. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Cc: Jim Kukunas Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

lib/raid6: build proper files on corresponding arch

2012-12-13T08:51:04+00:00

sse and avx2 stuff only exist on x86 arch, and we don't need to build altivec on x86. And we can do that at lib/raid6/Makefile. Proposed-by: H. Peter Anvin Signed-off-by: Yuanhan Liu Reviewed-by: H. Peter Anvin Signed-off-by: Jim Kukunas Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

lib/raid6: Add AVX2 optimized recovery functions

2012-12-13T05:42:01+00:00

Optimize RAID6 recovery functions to take advantage of the 256-bit YMM integer instructions introduced in AVX2. The patch was tested and benchmarked before submission. However hardware is not yet released so benchmark numbers cannot be reported. Acked-by: "H. Peter Anvin" Signed-off-by: Jim Kukunas Signed-off-by: NeilBrown
