The current NEON based ChaCha implementation for ARM is optimized for
multiples of 4x the ChaCha block size (64 bytes). This makes sense for
block encryption, but given that ChaCha is also often used in the
context of networking, it makes sense to consider arbitrary length
inputs as well.
For example, WireGuard typically uses 1420 byte packets, and performing
ChaCha encryption involves 5 invocations of chacha_4block_xor_neon()
and 3 invocations of chacha_block_xor_neon(), where the last one also
involves a memcpy() using a buffer on the stack to process the final
chunk of 1420 % 64 == 12 bytes.
Let's optimize for this case as well, by letting chacha_4block_xor_neon()
deal with any input size between 64 and 256 bytes, using NEON permutation
instructions and overlapping loads and stores. This way, the 140 byte
tail of a 1420 byte input buffer can simply be processed in one go.
This results in the following performance improvements for 1420 byte
blocks, without significant impact on power-of-2 input sizes. (Note
that Raspberry Pi is widely used in combination with a 32-bit kernel,
even though the core is 64-bit capable)
Cortex-A8 (BeagleBone) : 7%
Cortex-A15 (Calxeda Midway) : 21%
Cortex-A53 (Raspberry Pi 3) : 3%
Cortex-A72 (Raspberry Pi 4) : 19%

v2:
- avoid memcpy() if the residual byte count is exactly 64 bytes
- get rid of register based post increments, and simply rewind the src
pointer as needed (the dst pointer did not need the register post
increment in the first place)
- add benchmark results for 32-bit CPUs to commit log.
