This comes from INRIA's HACL*/Vale. It implements the same algorithm and
implementation strategy as the code it replaces, only this code has been
formally verified, sans the base point multiplication, which uses code
similar to prior, only it uses the formally verified field arithmetic
alongside reproducable ladder generation steps. This doesn't have a
pure-bmi2 version, which means haswell no longer benefits, but the
increased (doubled) code complexity is not worth it for a single
generation of chips that's already old.
Performance-wise, this is around 1% slower on older microarchitectures,
and slightly faster on newer microarchitectures, mainly 10nm ones or
backports of 10nm to 14nm. This implementation is "everest" below:
Xeon E5-2680 v4 (Broadwell)
armfazh: 133340 cycles per call
everest: 133436 cycles per call
Xeon Gold 5120 (Sky Lake Server)
armfazh: 112636 cycles per call
everest: 113906 cycles per call
Core i5-6300U (Sky Lake Client)
armfazh: 116810 cycles per call
everest: 117916 cycles per call
Core i7-7600U (Kaby Lake)
armfazh: 119523 cycles per call
everest: 119040 cycles per call
Core i7-8750H (Coffee Lake)
armfazh: 113914 cycles per call
everest: 113650 cycles per call
Core i9-9880H (Coffee Lake Refresh)
armfazh: 112616 cycles per call
everest: 114082 cycles per call
Core i3-8121U (Cannon Lake)
armfazh: 113202 cycles per call
everest: 111382 cycles per call
Core i7-8265U (Whiskey Lake)
armfazh: 127307 cycles per call
everest: 127697 cycles per call
Core i7-8550U (Kaby Lake Refresh)
armfazh: 127522 cycles per call
everest: 127083 cycles per call
Xeon Platinum 8275CL (Cascade Lake)
armfazh: 114380 cycles per call
everest: 114656 cycles per call
Achieving these kind of results with formally verified code is quite
remarkable, especialy considering that performance is favorable for
newer chips.

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 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.
