Ard Biesheuvel 83dee2ce1a crypto: sha3-generic - rewrite KECCAK transform to help the compiler optimize
The way the KECCAK transform is currently coded involves many references
into the state array using indexes that are calculated at runtime using
simple but non-trivial arithmetic. This forces the compiler to treat the
state matrix as an array in memory rather than keep it in registers,
which results in poor performance.

So instead, let's rephrase the algorithm using fixed array indexes only.
This helps the compiler keep the state matrix in registers, resulting
in the following speedup (SHA3-256 performance in cycles per byte):

                                            before   after   speedup
  Intel Core i7 @ 2.0 GHz (2.9 turbo)        100.6    35.7     2.8x
  Cortex-A57 @ 2.0 GHz (64-bit mode)         101.6    12.7     8.0x
  Cortex-A53 @ 1.0 GHz                       224.4    15.8    14.2x
  Cortex-A57 @ 2.0 GHz (32-bit mode)         201.8    63.0     3.2x

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
