The temporary W[] array is currently zeroed out once every call to sha256_transform(), i.e. once every 64 bytes of input data. Moving it to sha256_update() instead so that it is cleared only once per update can save about 2-3% of the total time taken to compute the digest, with a reasonable memset() implementation, and considerably more (~20%) with a bad one (eg the x86 purgatory currently uses a memset() coded in C).

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.
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.
