[jdk11u-dev] RFR: 8271567: AArch64: AES Galois CounterMode (GCM) interleaved implementation using vector instructions [v3]

[Andrew Haley]

> This is a backport of the big AES/GCM patch from JDK head. It's a
> major change and it's had very little time (almost a day) to mature in
> head, so perhaps it shouldn't be backported to 11 for some time; I
> wouldn't be at all surprised if some reviewers' reaction was "What
> have you been smoking?" However, there is a good reason for a
> backport: OpenJDK on x86 has a major advantage. AES/GCM is an
> important cipher, the current AArch64 implementation is much slower
> than x86, and some workloads are severely impacted.
> 
> I'm open to all arguments about why this should or shouldn't be pushed,
> and I'm quite happy to wait for another release cycle or two if people
> think that's the best course of action.
