Ard Biesheuvel 03c9a333fe crypto: arm64/ghash - add NEON accelerated fallback for 64-bit PMULL
Implement a NEON fallback for systems that do support NEON but have
no support for the optional 64x64->128 polynomial multiplication
instruction that is part of the ARMv8 Crypto Extensions. It is based
on the paper "Fast Software Polynomial Multiplication on ARM Processors
Using the NEON Engine" by Danilo Camara, Conrado Gouvea, Julio Lopez and
Ricardo Dahab (https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01506572), but has been reworked
extensively for the AArch64 ISA.

On a low-end core such as the Cortex-A53 found in the Raspberry Pi3, the
NEON based implementation is 4x faster than the table based one, and
is time invariant as well, making it less vulnerable to timing attacks.
When combined with the bit-sliced NEON implementation of AES-CTR, the
AES-GCM performance increases by 2x (from 58 to 29 cycles per byte).

README

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.
