When encrypting a message whose length isn't a multiple of 16 bytes, encrypt the last full block in the main loop. This works because only decryption uses the last two tweaks in reverse order, not encryption. This improves the performance of decrypting messages whose length isn't a multiple of the AES block length, shrinks the size of aes-xts-avx-x86_64.o by 5.0%, and eliminates two instructions (a test and a not-taken conditional jump) when encrypting a message whose length *is* a multiple of the AES block length. While it's not super useful to optimize for ciphertext stealing given that it's rarely needed in practice, the other two benefits mentioned above make this optimization worthwhile.

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.
