Built-in functions

New built-in functions

__builtin___*_chk

Provides a buffer overflow protection mechanism that can prevent some buffer overflow attacks.

__builtin_object_size

Returns a constant number of bytes from the given pointer to the end of the object pointed to if the size of object is known at compile time.

vec_cipher_be

Performs one round of the AES cipher operation on an intermediate state by using a given round key.

vec_cipherlast_be

Performs the final round of the AES cipher operation on an intermediate state by using a given round key.

vec_ncipher_be

Performs one round of the AES inverse cipher operation on an intermediate state by using a given round key.

vec_ncipherlast_be

Performs the final round of the AES inverse cipher operation on an intermediate state by using a given round key.

vec_pmsum_be

Performs an exclusive-OR operation by implementing a polynomial addition on each even-odd pair of the polynomial multiplication result of the corresponding elements.

vec_sbox_be

Performs the SubBytes operation, as defined in Federal Information Processing Standards FIPS-197, on a given state.

vec_shasigma_be

Performs a secure hash computation in accordance with Federal Information Processing Standards FIPS-180-3.
