Linux 7.4 Adds Optimized AES for x86 and RISC-V
1 min read
Linux 7.4 kernel merges optimized AES implementations for x86 and RISC-V architectures into the kernel crypto library. Intel and AMD CPUs utilize AVX code and AES-NI instructions, while SPARC64 gains optimized AES-XTS using crypto opcodes. This update removes redundant glue code and improves acceleration for various AES modes including ECB, CBC, CTR, and XTS.
