Merge rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin#1962: Add simd sha256 intrinsics for x86 machines
546c0122d7 Add simd sha256 intrinsics for x86 machines (sanket1729)

Pull request description:

  This is my first time dabbling into architecture specific code and simd. The algorithm is a word to word translation of the C code from  4899efc81d/sha256-x86.c .

  Some benchmarks:

  With simd
  ```
  test sha256::benches::sha256_10                   ... bench:          11 ns/iter (+/- 0) = 909 MB/s
  test sha256::benches::sha256_1k                   ... bench:         712 ns/iter (+/- 2) = 1438 MB/s
  test sha256::benches::sha256_64k                  ... bench:      45,597 ns/iter (+/- 189) = 1437 MB/s
  ```
  Without simd
  ```
  test sha256::benches::sha256_10                   ... bench:          47 ns/iter (+/- 0) = 212 MB/s
  test sha256::benches::sha256_1k                   ... bench:       4,243 ns/iter (+/- 17) = 241 MB/s
  test sha256::benches::sha256_64k                  ... bench:     271,263 ns/iter (+/- 1,610) = 241 MB/s
  ```

Bitcoin Hashes Library

This is a simple, no-dependency library which implements the hash functions needed by Bitcoin. These are SHA1, SHA256, SHA256d, SHA512, and RIPEMD160. As an ancilliary thing, it exposes hexadecimal serialization and deserialization, since these are needed to display hashes anway.

Documentation

Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)

This library should always compile with any combination of features on Rust 1.48.0.

To build with the MSRV you will need to pin serde (if you have either the serde or the schemars feature enabled)

# serde 1.0.157 uses syn 2.0 which requires edition 2021
cargo update -p serde --precise 1.0.156

before building. (And if your code is a library, your downstream users will need to run these commands, and so on.)

Contributions

Contributions are welcome, including additional hash function implementations.

Githooks

To assist devs in catching errors before running CI we provide some githooks. If you do not already have locally configured githooks you can use the ones in this repository by running, in the root directory of the repository:

git config --local core.hooksPath githooks/

Alternatively add symlinks in your .git/hooks directory to any of the githooks we provide.

Running Benchmarks

We use a custom Rust compiler configuration conditional to guard the bench mark code. To run the bench marks use: RUSTFLAGS='--cfg=bench' cargo +nightly bench.
