For correctness and compliance with the XTS-AES specification, we are adding support for ciphertext stealing to XTS implementations, even though no use cases are known that will be enabled by this. Since the Power8 implementation already has a fallback skcipher standby for other purposes, let's use it for this purpose as well. If ciphertext stealing use cases ever become a bottleneck, we can always revisit this.

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.
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.
