    "content": "This patch series adds a new optimized implementation for the Toeplitz hash\nfunction using Galois Fields New instruction (GFNI).\nThe main use case of this function is to calculate the hash value for a single\ndata, so there is no bulk implementation.\nFor performance reasons, the implementation was placed in a public header.\nIt is the responsibility of the user to ensure the platform supports GFNI\n(by doing runtime checks of rte_thash_gfni_supported variable) before calling\nthese functions.\n\nv8:\n- rebased on the latest main\n- fixed buffer overflow reported by ASAN\n\nv7:\n- reworked performance tests code\n\nv6:\n- addressed Thomas and Stephen's comments\n- squash the doc and test commith with the relevant code addition\n- split for 2 patches, each per implementation - single and bulk\n\nv5:\n- rebase on the latest main\n- fix spelling\n\nv4:\n- included rte_log.h inside the rte_thash_gfni.h\n\nv3:\n- implementation moved to x86 specific header\n- added rte_thash_gfni_supported() instead of the variable\n- removed RTE_INIT section, due to adding rte_thash_gfni_supported()\n- reworked rte_thash_complete_matrix() to make it easier tor read\n\nv2:\n- fixed typos\n- made big_rss_key static const and indented\n- addressed Konstantin's comments\n\nVladimir Medvedkin (4):\n  hash: add new toeplitz hash implementation\n  hash: add bulk toeplitz hash implementation\n  hash: enable gfni thash implementation\n  test/thash: add performance tests for the Toeplitz hash\n\n app/test/meson.build                        |   2 +\n app/test/test_thash.c                       | 237 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n app/test/test_thash_perf.c                  | 135 ++++++++++++++++\n doc/api/doxy-api-index.md                   |   1 +\n doc/guides/prog_guide/toeplitz_hash_lib.rst |  38 ++++-\n doc/guides/rel_notes/release_21_11.rst      |   4 +\n lib/hash/meson.build                        |   6 +-\n lib/hash/rte_thash.c                        |  72 ++++++++-\n lib/hash/rte_thash.h                        |  54 +++++++\n lib/hash/rte_thash_gfni.h                   |  87 ++++++++++\n lib/hash/rte_thash_x86_gfni.h               | 223 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n lib/hash/version.map                        |   6 +\n 12 files changed, 856 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 app/test/test_thash_perf.c\n create mode 100644 lib/hash/rte_thash_gfni.h\n create mode 100644 lib/hash/rte_thash_x86_gfni.h"
