Speed up the GHASH algorithm based on 64-bit polynomial multiplication by adding support for 4-way aggregation. This improves throughput by ~85% on Cortex-A53, from 1.7 cycles per byte to 0.9 cycles per byte. When combined with AES into GCM, throughput improves by ~25%, from 3.8 cycles per byte to 3.0 cycles per byte.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
