Nathan Huckleberry 17fee07a2a crypto: xctr - Add XCTR support
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:

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.
