Pull CRC updates from Eric Biggers: - Reorganize the architecture-optimized CRC32 and CRC-T10DIF code to be directly accessible via the library API, instead of requiring the crypto API. This is much simpler and more efficient. - Convert some users such as ext4 to use the CRC32 library API instead of the crypto API. More conversions like this will come later. - Add a KUnit test that tests and benchmarks multiple CRC variants. Remove older, less-comprehensive tests that are made redundant by this. - Add an entry to MAINTAINERS for the kernel's CRC library code. I'm volunteering to maintain it. I have additional cleanups and optimizations planned for future cycles. * tag 'crc-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux: (31 commits) MAINTAINERS: add entry for CRC library powerpc/crc: delete obsolete crc-vpmsum_test.c lib/crc32test: delete obsolete crc32test.c lib/crc16_kunit: delete obsolete crc16_kunit.c lib/crc_kunit.c: add KUnit test suite for CRC library functions powerpc/crc-t10dif: expose CRC-T10DIF function through lib arm64/crc-t10dif: expose CRC-T10DIF function through lib arm/crc-t10dif: expose CRC-T10DIF function through lib x86/crc-t10dif: expose CRC-T10DIF function through lib crypto: crct10dif - expose arch-optimized lib function lib/crc-t10dif: add support for arch overrides lib/crc-t10dif: stop wrapping the crypto API scsi: target: iscsi: switch to using the crc32c library f2fs: switch to using the crc32 library jbd2: switch to using the crc32c library ext4: switch to using the crc32c library lib/crc32: make crc32c() go directly to lib bcachefs: Explicitly select CRYPTO from BCACHEFS_FS x86/crc32: expose CRC32 functions through lib x86/crc32: update prototype for crc32_pclmul_le_16() ...
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.
