Remove lots of helper functions that were previously used for instantiating crypto templates, but are now unused: - crypto_get_attr_alg() and similar functions looked up an inner algorithm directly from a template parameter. These were replaced with getting the algorithm's name, then calling crypto_grab_*(). - crypto_init_spawn2() and similar functions initialized a spawn, given an algorithm. Similarly, these were replaced with crypto_grab_*(). - crypto_alloc_instance() and similar functions allocated an instance with a single spawn, given the inner algorithm. These aren't useful anymore since crypto_grab_*() need the instance allocated first. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> 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.
