Linus Torvalds a578dd095d CRC updates for 6.17
Updates for the kernel's CRC (cyclic redundancy check) code:
 
  - Reorganize the architecture-optimized CRC code. It now lives in
    lib/crc/$(SRCARCH)/ rather than arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/, and it is no
    longer artificially split into separate generic and arch modules.
    This allows better inlining and dead code elimination. The generic
    CRC code is also no longer exported, simplifying the API. (This
    mirrors the similar changes to SHA-1 and SHA-2 in lib/crypto/,
    which can be found in the "Crypto library updates" pull request.)
 
  - Improve crc32c() performance on newer x86_64 CPUs on long messages
    by enabling the VPCLMULQDQ optimized code.
 
  - Simplify the crypto_shash wrappers for crc32_le() and crc32c().
    Register just one shash algorithm for each that uses the (fully
    optimized) library functions, instead of unnecessarily providing
    direct access to the generic CRC code.
 
  - Remove unused and obsolete drivers for hardware CRC engines.
 
  - Remove CRC-32 combination functions that are no longer used.
 
  - Add kerneldoc for crc32_le(), crc32_be(), and crc32c().
 
  - Convert the crc32() macro to an inline function.

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 reStructuredText 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.
