Unlike crc32c(), which is wired up to the crypto API internally so the optimal driver is selected based on the platform's capabilities, crc32_le() is implemented as a library function using a slice-by-8 table based C implementation. Even though few of the call sites may be bottlenecks, calling a time variant implementation with a non-negligible D-cache footprint is a bit of a waste, given that ARMv8.1 and up mandates support for the CRC32 instructions that were optional in ARMv8.0, but are already widely available, even on the Cortex-A53 based Raspberry Pi. So implement routines that use these instructions if available, and fall back to the existing generic routines otherwise. The selection is based on alternatives patching. Note that this unconditionally selects CONFIG_CRC32 as a builtin. Since CRC32 is relied upon by core functionality such as CONFIG_OF_FLATTREE, this just codifies the status quo.

README
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
