Patch series "add crc64 calculation as kernel library", v5. This patchset adds basic implementation of crc64 calculation as a Linux kernel library. Since bcache already does crc64 by itself, this patchset also modifies bcache code to use the new crc64 library routine. Currently bcache is the only user of crc64 calculation, another potential user is bcachefs which is on the way to be in mainline kernel. Therefore it makes sense to make crc64 calculation to be a public library. bcache uses crc64 as storage checksum, if a change of crc lib routines results an inconsistent result, the unmatched checksum may make bcache 'think' the on-disk is corrupted, such a change should be avoided or detected as early as possible. Therefore a patch is being prepared which adds a crc test framework, to check consistency of different calculations. This patch (of 2): Add the re-write crc64 calculation routines for Linux kernel. The CRC64 polynomical arithmetic follows ECMA-182 specification, inspired by CRC paper of Dr. Ross N. Williams (see http://www.ross.net/crc/download/crc_v3.txt) and other public domain implementations. All the changes work in this way, - When Linux kernel is built, host program lib/gen_crc64table.c will be compiled to lib/gen_crc64table and executed. - The output of gen_crc64table execution is an array called as lookup table (a.k.a POLY 0x42f0e1eba9ea369) which contain 256 64-bit long numbers, this table is dumped into header file lib/crc64table.h. - Then the header file is included by lib/crc64.c for normal 64bit crc calculation. - Function declaration of the crc64 calculation routines is placed in include/linux/crc64.h Currently bcache is the only user of crc64_be(), another potential user is bcachefs which is on the way to be in mainline kernel. Therefore it makes sense to move crc64 calculation into lib/crc64.c as public code.
