For an shash algorithm that doesn't implement ->digest, currently
crypto_shash_digest() with aligned input makes 5 indirect calls: 1 to
shash_digest_unaligned(), 1 to ->init, 2 to ->update ('alignmask + 1'
bytes, then the rest), then 1 to ->final. This is true even if the
algorithm implements ->finup. This is caused by an unnecessary fallback
to code meant to handle unaligned inputs. In fact,
crypto_shash_digest() already does the needed alignment check earlier.
Therefore, optimize the number of indirect calls for aligned inputs to 3
when the algorithm implements ->finup. It remains at 5 when the
algorithm implements neither ->finup nor ->digest.
Similarly, for an shash algorithm that doesn't implement ->finup,
currently crypto_shash_finup() with aligned input makes 4 indirect
calls: 1 to shash_finup_unaligned(), 2 to ->update, and
1 to ->final. Optimize this to 3 calls.

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.
