- Load the SHA-256 round constants relative to a pointer that points into the middle of the constants rather than to the beginning. Since x86 instructions use signed offsets, this decreases the instruction length required to access some of the later round constants. - Use punpcklqdq or punpckhqdq instead of longer instructions such as pshufd, pblendw, and palignr. This doesn't harm performance. The end result is that sha256_ni_transform shrinks from 839 bytes to 791 bytes, with no loss in performance.

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.
