CRC32 affects performance for both image decompression (PNG) as also in general browsing while accessing websites that serve content using compression (i.e. Content-Encoding: gzip). This patch implements an optimized CRC32 function using the dedicated instruction available in ARMv8. This instruction is available in new Android devices featuring an ARMv8 SoC, like Nexus 5x and Google Pixel. It should be between 6x (A53: 116ms X 22ms for a 4Kx4Kx4 buffer) to 10x faster (A72: 91ms x 9ms) than the C implementation currently used by zlib. PNG decoding performance gains should be around 5-9%. Finally it also introduces code to perform the ARM CPU features detection using getauxval()@Linux/CrOS or android_getCpuFeatures(). We pre-built and link the CRC32 instruction dependent code but will decide if to use it at run time. If the feature is not supported, we fallback to the C implementation. This approach allows to use the instruction in both 32bits and 64bits builds and works fine either in ARMv7 or ARMv8 processor. I tested the generated Chromium apk in both a ARMv7 (Nexus 4 and 6) and ARMv8 (Nexus 5x and Google Pixel).
