This option is provided for the case where no in-kernel-tree
modules require CRC-CCITT functions, but a module built outside
the kernel tree does. Such modules that use library CRC-CCITT
functions require M here.

This option is only needed if a module that's not in the

SCSI data integrity subsystem.

help
This option enables the CRC32 library functions to perform a
self test on initialization. The self test computes crc32_le
and crc32_be over byte strings with random alignment and length
and computes the total elapsed time and number of bytes processed.

default CRC32_SLICEBY8
help
This option allows a kernel builder to override the default choice
of CRC32 algorithm. Choose the default ("slice by 8") unless you
know that you need one of the others.
config CRC32_SLICEBY8
bool "Slice by 8 bytes"
help
Calculate checksum 8 bytes at a time with a clever slicing algorithm.
This is the fastest algorithm, but comes with a 8KiB lookup table.
Most modern processors have enough cache to hold this table without
thrashing the cache.
This is the default implementation choice. Choose this one unless
you have a good reason not to.
config CRC32_SLICEBY4
bool "Slice by 4 bytes"
help
Calculate checksum 4 bytes at a time with a clever slicing algorithm.
This is a bit slower than slice by 8, but has a smaller 4KiB lookup
table.
Only choose this option if you know what you are doing.
config CRC32_SARWATE
bool "Sarwate's Algorithm (one byte at a time)"
help
Calculate checksum a byte at a time using Sarwate's algorithm. This
is not particularly fast, but has a small 256 byte lookup table.
Only choose this option if you know what you are doing.
config CRC32_BIT
bool "Classic Algorithm (one bit at a time)"
help
Calculate checksum one bit at a time. This is VERY slow, but has
no lookup table. This is provided as a debugging option.
Only choose this option if you are debugging crc32.

Module will be libcrc32c.

config BCH_CONST_PARAMS
boolean
help
Drivers may select this option to force specific constant
values for parameters 'm' (Galois field order) and 't'
(error correction capability). Those specific values must
be set by declaring default values for symbols BCH_CONST_M
and BCH_CONST_T.
Doing so will enable extra compiler optimizations,
improving encoding and decoding performance up to 2x for
usual (m,t) values (typically such that m*t < 200).
When this option is selected, the BCH library supports
only a single (m,t) configuration. This is mainly useful
for NAND flash board drivers requiring known, fixed BCH
parameters.
config BCH_CONST_M
int
range 5 15
help
Constant value for Galois field order 'm'. If 'k' is the
number of data bits to protect, 'm' should be chosen such
that (k + m*t) <= 2**m - 1.
Drivers should declare a default value for this symbol if
they select option BCH_CONST_PARAMS.
config BCH_CONST_T
int
help
Constant value for error correction capability in bits 't'.
Drivers should declare a default value for this symbol if
they select option BCH_CONST_PARAMS.
