Add a generic implementation of XCTR mode as a template. XCTR is a blockcipher mode similar to CTR mode. XCTR uses XORs and little-endian addition rather than big-endian arithmetic which has two advantages: It is slightly faster on little-endian CPUs and it is less likely to be implemented incorrect since integer overflows are not possible on practical input sizes. XCTR is used as a component to implement HCTR2. More information on XCTR mode can be found in the HCTR2 paper: https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/1441.pdf Signed-off-by: Nathan Huckleberry <nhuck@google.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Reviewed-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
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.
