Update the 4-way NEON ChaCha routine so it can handle input of any length >64 bytes in its entirety, rather than having to call into the 1-way routine and/or memcpy()s via temp buffers to handle the tail of a ChaCha invocation that is not a multiple of 256 bytes. On inputs that are a multiple of 256 bytes (and thus in tcrypt benchmarks), performance drops by around 1% on Cortex-A57, while performance for inputs drawn randomly from the range [64, 1024) increases by around 30%.

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.
