--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit ab9a244c396aae4aaa34b2399b82fc15ec2df8c1 ]
Commit c055e3eae0f1 ("crypto: xor - use ktime for template benchmarking") switched from using jiffies to ktime-based performance benchmarking.
This works nicely on machines which have a fine-grained ktime() clocksource as e.g. x86 machines with TSC. But other machines, e.g. my 4-way HP PARISC server, don't have such fine-grained clocksources, which is why it seems that 800 xor loops take zero seconds, which then shows up in the logs as:
xor: measuring software checksum speed 8regs : -1018167296 MB/sec 8regs_prefetch : -1018167296 MB/sec 32regs : -1018167296 MB/sec 32regs_prefetch : -1018167296 MB/sec
Fix this with some small modifications to the existing code to improve the algorithm to always produce correct results without introducing major delays for architectures with a fine-grained ktime() clocksource: a) Delay start of the timing until ktime() just advanced. On machines with a fast ktime() this should be just one additional ktime() call. b) Count the number of loops. Run at minimum 800 loops and finish earliest when the ktime() counter has progressed.
With that the throughput can now be calculated more accurately under all conditions.
