Subject: [PATCH 06/25] xor: cleanup registration and probing
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 07:10:18 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226151106.144735-7-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260226151106.144735-1-hch@lst.de>
Originally, the XOR code benchmarked all algorithms at load time, but
it has since then been hacked multiple times to allow forcing an
algorithm, and then commit 524ccdbdfb52 ("crypto: xor - defer load time
benchmark to a later time") changed the logic to a two-step process
or registration and benchmarking, but only when built-in.
Rework this, so that the XOR_TRY_TEMPLATES macro magic now always just
deals with adding the templates to the list, and benchmarking is always
done in a second pass; for modular builds from module_init, and for the
built-in case using a separate init call level.
