When constructing the EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 padding for the sign operation, a buffer for the padding is allocated and the Full Hash Prefix is copied into it. The padding is then passed to the RSA decrypt operation as an sglist entry which is succeeded by a second sglist entry for the hash. Actually copying the hash prefix around is completely unnecessary. It can simply be referenced from a third sglist entry which sits in-between the padding and the digest.

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.
