From 8dfa20fcfbeb245642dfe3a43f8a3735d9aed42a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2019 23:09:18 -0700 Subject: crypto: ghash - add comment and improve help text To help avoid confusion, add a comment to ghash-generic.c which explains the convention that the kernel's implementation of GHASH uses. Also update the Kconfig help text and module descriptions to call GHASH a "hash function" rather than a "message digest", since the latter normally means a real cryptographic hash function, which GHASH is not.
