stacktool reports the following warning:
stacktool: arch/x86/crypto/crc32c-pcl-intel-asm_64.o: crc_pcl()+0x11dd: can't decode instruction
It gets confused when trying to decode jump_table data. Move jump_table
to the .rodata section which is a more appropriate home for read-only
data.

Module crc32c-intel uses a special read-only data section named .rotata.
This section is defined for K_table, and its name seems to be a spelling
mistake for .rodata.

There is no reason to use MOVQ to load a non-negative immediate
constant value into a 64-bit register. MOVL does the same, since
the upper 32 bits are zero-extended by the CPU.
This makes the code a bit smaller, while leaving functionality
unchanged.

There's no need for the K_table to be made of 64-bit words. For some
reason, the original authors didn't fully reduce the values modulo the
CRC32C polynomial, and so had some 33-bit values in there. They can
all be reduced to 32 bits.
Doing that cuts the table size in half. Since the code depends on both
pclmulq and crc32, SSE 4.1 is obviously present, so we can use pmovzxdq
to fetch it in the correct format.
This adds (measured on Ivy Bridge) 1 cycle per main loop iteration
(CRC of up to 3K bytes), less than 0.2%. The hope is that the reduced
D-cache footprint will make up the loss in other code.
Two other related fixes:
* K_table is read-only, so belongs in .rodata, and
* There's no need for more than 8-byte alignment

Occurs when CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRC32C_INTEL=y and CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRC32C_INTEL=y.
Older versions of bintuils do not support the pclmulqdq instruction. The
PCLMULQDQ gas macro is used instead.

This patch adds the crc_pcl function that calculates CRC32C checksum using the
PCLMULQDQ instruction on processors that support this feature. This will
provide speedup over using CRC32 instruction only.
The usage of PCLMULQDQ necessitate the invocation of kernel_fpu_begin and
kernel_fpu_end and incur some overhead. So the new crc_pcl function is only
invoked for buffer size of 512 bytes or more. Larger sized
buffers will expect to see greater speedup. This feature is best used coupled
with eager_fpu which reduces the kernel_fpu_begin/end overhead. For
buffer size of 1K the speedup is around 1.6x and for buffer size greater than
4K, the speedup is around 3x compared to original implementation in crc32c-intel
module. Test was performed on Sandy Bridge based platform with constant frequency
set for cpu.
