Instead of processing the entire input with the 8-way bit sliced algorithm, which is sub-optimal for inputs that are not a multiple of 128 bytes in size, invoke the plain NEON version of CTR for the remainder of the input after processing the bulk using 128 byte strides. This allows us to greatly simplify the asm code that implements CTR, and get rid of all the branches and special code paths. It also gains us a couple of percent of performance.

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.
