The CTR DRBG requires two SGLs pointing to input/output buffers for the CTR AES operation. The used SGLs always have only one entry. Thus, the SGL can be initialized during allocation time, preventing a re-initialization of the SGLs during each call. The performance is increased by about 1 to 3 percent depending on the size of the requested buffer size.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
