[Bug 1083498] Re: please enable arm assembler code in openssl

[Brian Murray]

Hello Dmitrijs, or anyone else affected,

Accepted openssl into precise-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/1.0.1-4ubuntu5.9 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  please enable arm assembler code in openssl

Status in “openssl” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “openssl” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed
Status in “openssl” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Committed
Status in “openssl” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Enable arm asm optimisations.
   * This is an SRU as part of Hardware Enablement.

  [Test Case]

  * Compare `openssl speed` on armhf. There should be noticeable
  improvement.

  [Regression Potential]

  * This change affects only arm[hf|el].
  * The test-suite passes correctly.

  [Other Info]

  Openssl has some rather nice arm assembler optimizations. For example
  on pandaboard (omap4430):

  benchmark    debian       with patch
  sha1         55836.67k -> 73599.08k
  aes-128 cbc  18451.11k -> 36305.34k
  aes-256 cbc  13552.30k -> 27108.31k
  sha256       20092.25k -> 43469.45k
  sha512       8052.74k  -> 37194.28k
  rsa 1024     1904.2v/S -> 3650.5v/s
