As with the other AES modes I've implemented, I've received interest in my AES-XTS assembly code being reused in other projects. Therefore, change the license to Apache-2.0 OR BSD-2-Clause like what I used for AES-GCM. Apache-2.0 is the license of OpenSSL and BoringSSL. Note that it is difficult to *directly* share code between the kernel, OpenSSL, and BoringSSL for various reasons such as perlasm vs. plain asm, Windows ABI support, different divisions of responsibility between C and asm in each project, etc. So whether that will happen instead of just doing ports is still TBD. But this dual license should at least make it possible to port changes between the projects. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
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.
