Restore the len >= 288 condition on using the AVX implementation, which was incidentally removed by commit318c53ae02("crypto: x86/poly1305 - Add block-only interface"). This check took into account the overhead in key power computation, kernel-mode "FPU", and tail handling associated with the AVX code. Indeed, restoring this check slightly improves performance for len < 256 as measured using poly1305_kunit on an "AMD Ryzen AI 9 365" (Zen 5) CPU: Length Before After ====== ========== ========== 1 30 MB/s 36 MB/s 16 516 MB/s 598 MB/s 64 1700 MB/s 1882 MB/s 127 2265 MB/s 2651 MB/s 128 2457 MB/s 2827 MB/s 200 2702 MB/s 3238 MB/s 256 3841 MB/s 3768 MB/s 511 4580 MB/s 4585 MB/s 512 5430 MB/s 5398 MB/s 1024 7268 MB/s 7305 MB/s 3173 8999 MB/s 8948 MB/s 4096 9942 MB/s 9921 MB/s 16384 10557 MB/s 10545 MB/s While the optimal threshold for this CPU might be slightly lower than 288 (see the len == 256 case), other CPUs would need to be tested too, and these sorts of benchmarks can underestimate the true cost of kernel-mode "FPU". Therefore, for now just restore the 288 threshold.

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.
