Linus Torvalds ee6740fd34 CRC updates for 6.15
Another set of improvements to the kernel's CRC (cyclic redundancy
 check) code:
 
 - Rework the CRC64 library functions to be directly optimized, like what
   I did last cycle for the CRC32 and CRC-T10DIF library functions.
 
 - Rewrite the x86 PCLMULQDQ-optimized CRC code, and add VPCLMULQDQ
   support and acceleration for crc64_be and crc64_nvme.
 
 - Rewrite the riscv Zbc-optimized CRC code, and add acceleration for
   crc_t10dif, crc64_be, and crc64_nvme.
 
 - Remove crc_t10dif and crc64_rocksoft from the crypto API, since they
   are no longer needed there.
 
 - Rename crc64_rocksoft to crc64_nvme, as the old name was incorrect.
 
 - Add kunit test cases for crc64_nvme and crc7.
 
 - Eliminate redundant functions for calculating the Castagnoli CRC32,
   settling on just crc32c().
 
 - Remove unnecessary prompts from some of the CRC kconfig options.
 
 - Further optimize the x86 crc32c code.

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.
