As part of the effort to remove VLAs from the kernel[1], this creates constants for the checksum lengths of CCITT and 8B2C and changes crc_calculated to be the maximum size of a checksum. https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621 Signed-off-by: Kyle Spiers <ksspiers@google.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>
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.
