6b8d872 Protect SSE4 code behind a compile-time flag (Pieter Wuille) fa9be90 Add selftest for SHA256 transform (Pieter Wuille) c1ccb15 Add SSE4 based SHA256 (Pieter Wuille) 2991c91 Add SHA256 dispatcher (Pieter Wuille) 4d50f38 Support multi-block SHA256 transforms (Pieter Wuille) Pull request description: This adds an SSE4 assembly version of the SHA256 transform by Intel, and uses it at run time if SSE4 instructions are available, and use a fallback C++ implementation otherwise. Nearly every x86_64 CPU supports SSE4. The feature is only enabled when compiled with `--enable-experimental-asm`. In order to avoid build dependencies and other complications, the original Intel YASM code was translated to GCC extended asm syntax. This gives around a 50% speedup on the SHA256 benchmark for me. It is based on an earlier patch by @laanwj, though only includes a single assembly version (for now), and removes the YASM dependency.
