Ard Biesheuvel e9da63a53e UPSTREAM: crypto: arm64/chacha - optimize for arbitrary length inputs
Update the 4-way NEON ChaCha routine so it can handle input of any
length >64 bytes in its entirety, rather than having to call into
the 1-way routine and/or memcpy()s via temp buffers to handle the
tail of a ChaCha invocation that is not a multiple of 256 bytes.

On inputs that are a multiple of 256 bytes (and thus in tcrypt
benchmarks), performance drops by around 1% on Cortex-A57, while
performance for inputs drawn randomly from the range [64, 1024)
increases by around 30%.

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.
