[PATCH 4/5] crypto/sha1.c: avoid successively shifting a long long

From: Nicolas Pitre
Date: Mon Oct 24 2005 - 13:06:12 EST



Shifting a long long about 7 times to store the length bits is suboptimal
on most 32-bit architectures. Use a 32 bit scratch instead.

This provides an appreciable code reduction considering the _whole_
of the sha1_final() function:

arch old size new size reduction
---------------------------------------------------------
i386 0xe0 0xc4 12.5%
arm 0x15c 0xe8 33.3%

Smaller code in this case is of course faster code.
