Improve AES/XTS performance of 6-way unrolling for PowerPC up to 17% with tcrypt. This is done by using one instruction, vpermxor, to replace xor and vsldoi. The same changes were applied to OpenSSL code and a pull request was submitted. This patch has been tested with the kernel crypto module tcrypt.ko and has passed the selftest. The patch is also tested with CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS enabled. Signed-off-by: Danny Tsen <dtsen@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
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.
