Alexey Dobriyan 6c786bcb29 xfrm: branchless addr4_match() on 64-bit
Current addr4_match() code has special test for /0 prefixes because of
standard required undefined behaviour. However, it is possible to omit
it on 64-bit because shifting can be done within a 64-bit register and
then truncated to the expected value (which is 0 mask).

Implicit truncation by htonl() fits nicely into R32-within-R64 model
on x86-64.

Space savings: none (coincidence)
Branch savings: 1

Before:

	movzx  eax,BYTE PTR [rdi+0x2a]		# ->prefixlen_d
	test   al,al
	jne    xfrm_selector_match + 0x23f
		...
	movzx  eax,BYTE PTR [rbx+0x2b]		# ->prefixlen_s
	test   al,al
	je     xfrm_selector_match + 0x1c7

After (no branches):

	mov    r8d,0x20
	mov    rdx,0xffffffffffffffff
	mov    esi,DWORD PTR [rsi+0x2c]
	mov    ecx,r8d
	sub    cl,BYTE PTR [rdi+0x2a]
	xor    esi,DWORD PTR [rbx]
	mov    rdi,rdx
	xor    eax,eax
	shl    rdi,cl
	bswap  edi

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
