Describe existing kernel TLS offload (added back in Linux 4.19) - the mechanism, the expected behavior and the notable corner cases. This documentation is mostly targeting hardware vendors who want to implement offload, to ensure consistency between implementations. v2: - add emphasis around TLS_SW/TLS_HW/TLS_HW_RECORD; - remove mentions of ongoing work (Boris); - split the flow of data in SW vs. HW cases in TX overview (Boris); - call out which fields are updated by the device and which are filled by the stack (Boris); - move error handling into it's own section (Boris); - add more words about fallback (Boris); - note that checksum validation is required (Alexei); - note that drivers shouldn't pay attention to the TLS device features.

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.
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.
