crypto: doc: properly format ToC headings

2023-11-17T20:05:26+00:00

"class:: toc-title" was a workaround for older Sphinx versions that are no longer supported. The canonical way to add a heading to the ToC is to use :caption:. Do that.

crypto: skcipher - remove remnants of internal IV generators

2018-12-23T03:52:45+00:00

Remove dead code related to internal IV generators, which are no longer used since they've been replaced with the "seqiv" and "echainiv" templates. The removed code includes: - The "givcipher" (GIVCIPHER) algorithm type. No algorithms are registered with this type anymore, so it's unneeded. - The "const char *geniv" member of aead_alg, ablkcipher_alg, and blkcipher_alg. A few algorithms still set this, but it isn't used anymore except to show via /proc/crypto and CRYPTO_MSG_GETALG. Just hardcode "" or "" in those cases. - The 'skcipher_givcrypt_request' structure, which is never used. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: doc - convert crypto API documentation to Sphinx

2016-12-13T23:37:54+00:00

With the conversion of the kernel crypto API DocBook to Sphinx, the monolithic document is broken up into individual documents. The documentation is unchanged with the exception of a slight reordering to keep the individual document parts self-contained. Signed-off-by: Stephan Mueller Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet
