Thanks for the heads up, the second solution seems more viable and while implementing it I faced few Issues. GCC doesnt suport const vector instructions i.e. the following assignment throw as compiler error. static const struct crc_pmull_ctx crc32_eth_pmull = { .rk1_rk2 = vld1q_u64((uint64_t[2]){0xccaa009eLLU, 0x1751997d0LLU}), .rk5_rk6 = vld1q_u64((uint64_t[2]){0xccaa009eLLU, 0x163cd6124LLU}), .rk7_rk8 = vld1q_u64((uint64_t[2]){0x1f7011640LLU, 0x1db710641LLU}), } __rte_aligned(16); I have gotten path the error by modifying struct crc_pmull_ctx as follows: struct crc_pmull_ctx { union { uint64_t rk12[2]; uint64x2_t rk1_rk2; }; union { uint64_t rk56[2]; uint64x2_t rk5_rk6; }; union { uint64_t rk78[2]; uint64x2_t rk7_rk8; }; }; static const struct crc_pmull_ctx crc32_eth_pmull __rte_aligned(16) = { .rk12 = {0xccaa009eLLU, 0x1751997d0LLU}, .rk56 = {0xccaa009eLLU, 0x163cd6124LLU}, .rk78 = {0x1f7011640LLU, 0x1db710641LLU}, }; static const struct crc_pmull_ctx crc16_ccitt_pmull __rte_aligned(16) = { .rk12 = {0x189aeLLU, 0x8e10LLU}, .rk56 = {0x189aeLLU, 0x114aaLLU}, .rk78 = {0x11c581910LLU, 0x10811LLU}, }; I have checked the hex dump of the assignment with the current code and the above piece of code and they are similar. Let me know if my solution seems viable I will send the v2. > An even better way would be to make variable const and initialize it > with its content. It could even enhance performance.
