Linus Torvalds d8768fb12a Crypto library updates for 6.18
- Add a RISC-V optimized implementation of Poly1305. This code was
   written by Andy Polyakov and contributed by Zhihang Shao.
 
 - Migrate the MD5 code into lib/crypto/, and add KUnit tests for MD5.
   Yes, it's still the 90s, and several kernel subsystems are still using
   MD5 for legacy use cases. As long as that remains the case, it's
   helpful to clean it up in the same way as I've been doing for other
   algorithms. Later, I plan to convert most of these users of MD5 to use
   the new MD5 library API instead of the generic crypto API.
 
 - Simplify the organization of the ChaCha, Poly1305, BLAKE2s, and
   Curve25519 code. Consolidate these into one module per algorithm,
   and centralize the configuration and build process. This is the same
   reorganization that has already been successful for SHA-1 and SHA-2.
 
 - Remove the unused crypto_kpp API for Curve25519.
 
 - Migrate the BLAKE2s and Curve25519 self-tests to KUnit.
 
 - Always enable the architecture-optimized BLAKE2s code.
 
 Due to interdependencies between test and non-test code, both are
 included in this pull request. The broken-down diffstat is as follows:
 
     Tests:            735 insertions(+), 1917 deletions(-)
     RISC-V Poly1305:  877 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
     Other:           1777 insertions(+), 3117 deletions(-)
 
 Besides the new RISC-V code which is an addition, there are quite a
 few simplifications due to the improved code organization for multiple
 algorithms, the removal of the unused crypto_kpp API for Curve25519
 and redundant tests, and the redesign of the BLAKE2s test.

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.
