[PATCH 17/19] lib/crypto: gf128mul: Remove unused 4k_lle functions

Thu Mar 19 17:17:18 AEDT 2026
Remove the 4k_lle multiplication functions and the associated
gf128mul_table_le data table. Their only user was the generic
implementation of GHASH, which has now been changed to use a different
implementation based on standard integer multiplication.

-/* This version uses 4k bytes of table space.
- A 16 byte buffer has to be multiplied by a 16 byte key
- value in GF(2^128). If we consider a GF(2^128) value in a
- single byte, we can construct a table of the 256 16 byte
- values that result from the 256 values of this byte.
- This requires 4096 bytes. If we take the highest byte in
- the buffer and use this table to get the result, we then
- have to multiply by x^120 to get the final value. For the
- next highest byte the result has to be multiplied by x^112
- and so on. But we can do this by accumulating the result
- in an accumulator starting with the result for the top
- byte. We repeatedly multiply the accumulator value by
- x^8 and then add in (i.e. xor) the 16 bytes of the next
- lower byte in the buffer, stopping when we reach the
- lowest byte. This requires a 4096 byte table.
