This warning is triggered when one accepts or returns vectors from a
function (that is not marked with [[gnu::target(...)]]) which would have
been otherwise passed in register if the current translation unit had
been compiled with more permissive flags wrt instruction selection (i.
e. if one adds -mavx2 to cmdline). This will never be a problem for us
since we (a) never use different instruction selection options across
ABI boundaries; (b) most of the affected functions are actually
TU-local.
Moreover, even if we somehow properly annotated all of the SIMD helpers,
calling them across ABI (or target) boundaries would still be very
dangerous because of inconsistent and bogus handling of
[[gnu::target(...)]] across compilers. See
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/64706 and
https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/17qowl2/comment/k8j2odi .
Instead of going byte by byte, copy entire blocks at once and only check
if we need to update the state once per block. This pretty much
eliminates `::update()` from profiles and measurably improves
performance for utilities like `sha256sum`.
The SHA384 and SHA512 hashes would produce incorrect results for data
where the length % 128 was in the range 112-119. This was because the
total number of bits in the hashed values was added at the end as a
64-bit number instead of a 128-bit number. In most cases this would not
cause any issues, as this space was padded with zeroes, however in the
case that the length % 128 was 112-119, some incorrect data ended up
where this 128-bit length value was expected.
This change fixes the problems in LibTLS where some websites would
result in a DecryptError on handshake.
