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.

In case of the aegis crypto algorithms, it decides to turn the innermost primitives (and, xor, ...) into separate functions but inline most of the rest. This results in a huge amount of variables spilled on the stack, leading to rather slow execution as well as kernel stack usage beyond the 32-bit warning limit when CONFIG_KASAN is enabled: crypto/aegis256.c:123:13: warning: stack frame size of 648 bytes in function 'crypto_aegis256_encrypt_chunk' [-Wframe-larger-than=] crypto/aegis256.c:366:13: warning: stack frame size of 1264 bytes in function 'crypto_aegis256_crypt' [-Wframe-larger-than=] crypto/aegis256.c:187:13: warning: stack frame size of 656 bytes in function 'crypto_aegis256_decrypt_chunk' [-Wframe-larger-than=] crypto/aegis128l.c:135:13: warning: stack frame size of 832 bytes in function 'crypto_aegis128l_encrypt_chunk' [-Wframe-larger-than=] crypto/aegis128l.c:415:13: warning: s...
