This series of patches add the powerpc64 assembly for modp/redc functions for elliptic curves P192, P224, P256, P384, P521, X25519 and X448. It results in 15-30% performance improvements as measured on POWER9 system using hogweed-benchmark.

Nice. For testing these functions, I recommend running

while NETTLE_TEST_SEED=0 ./testsuite/ecc-mod-test ; do : ; done

and

while NETTLE_TEST_SEED=0 ./testsuite/ecc-redc-test ; do : ; done

for a few hours.

Regards, /Niels

I have both tests running for more than 24 hours without failure.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks.

Amitay.
