Clean up "generic" intro pod files.
Files like dh.pod, etc., mostly duplicated the API-specific pod files. Removed the duplicated content; that often mean the whole file could be removed. Some of the content about internals got moved into README files in the source tree. Some content (e.g., err.pod) got moved into other pod pages. Annotate generic pages, remove dup NAME Reviewed-by: Richard Levitte <levitte@openssl.org>

+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This page documents the internal functions used by the OpenSSL
+B<BIGNUM> implementation. They are described here to facilitate
+debugging and extending the library. They are I<not> to be used by
+applications.
+
+=head2 The BIGNUM structure
+
+ typedef struct bignum_st BIGNUM;
+
+ struct bignum_st
+ {
+ BN_ULONG *d; /* Pointer to an array of 'BN_BITS2' bit chunks. */
+ int top; /* Index of last used d +1. */
+ /* The next are internal book keeping for bn_expand. */
+ int dmax; /* Size of the d array. */
+ int neg; /* one if the number is negative */
+ int flags;
+ };
+
+
+The integer value is stored in B<d>, a malloc()ed array of words (B<BN_ULONG>),
+least significant word first. A B<BN_ULONG> can be either 16, 32 or 64 bits
+in size, depending on the 'number of bits' (B<BITS2>) specified in
+C<openssl/bn.h>.
+
+B<dmax> is the size of the B<d> array that has been allocated. B<top>
+is the number of words being used, so for a value of 4, bn.d[0]=4 and
+bn.top=1. B<neg> is 1 if the number is negative. When a B<BIGNUM> is
+B<0>, the B<d> field can be B<NULL> and B<top> == B<0>.
+
+B<flags> is a bit field of flags which are defined in C<openssl/bn.h>. The
+flags begin with B<BN_FLG_>. The macros BN_set_flags(b,n) and
+BN_get_flags(b,n) exist to enable or fetch flag(s) B<n> from B<BIGNUM>
+structure B<b>.
+
+Various routines in this library require the use of temporary
+B<BIGNUM> variables during their execution. Since dynamic memory
+allocation to create B<BIGNUM>s is rather expensive when used in
+conjunction with repeated subroutine calls, the B<BN_CTX> structure is
+used. This structure contains B<BN_CTX_NUM> B<BIGNUM>s, see
+L<BN_CTX_start(3)>.
+
+=head2 Low-level arithmetic operations
+
+These functions are implemented in C and for several platforms in
+assembly language:
+
+bn_mul_words(B<rp>, B<ap>, B<num>, B<w>) operates on the B<num> word
+arrays B<rp> and B<ap>. It computes B<ap> * B<w>, places the result
+in B<rp>, and returns the high word (carry).
+
+bn_mul_add_words(B<rp>, B<ap>, B<num>, B<w>) operates on the B<num>
+word arrays B<rp> and B<ap>. It computes B<ap> * B<w> + B<rp>, places
+the result in B<rp>, and returns the high word (carry).
+
+bn_sqr_words(B<rp>, B<ap>, B<n>) operates on the B<num> word array
+B<ap> and the 2*B<num> word array B<ap>. It computes B<ap> * B<ap>
+word-wise, and places the low and high bytes of the result in B<rp>.
+
+bn_div_words(B<h>, B<l>, B<d>) divides the two word number (B<h>,B<l>)
+by B<d> and returns the result.
+
+bn_add_words(B<rp>, B<ap>, B<bp>, B<num>) operates on the B<num> word
+arrays B<ap>, B<bp> and B<rp>. It computes B<ap> + B<bp>, places the
+result in B<rp>, and returns the high word (carry).
+
+bn_sub_words(B<rp>, B<ap>, B<bp>, B<num>) operates on the B<num> word
+arrays B<ap>, B<bp> and B<rp>. It computes B<ap> - B<bp>, places the
+result in B<rp>, and returns the carry (1 if B<bp> E<gt> B<ap>, 0
+otherwise).
+
+bn_mul_comba4(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>) operates on the 4 word arrays B<a> and
+B<b> and the 8 word array B<r>. It computes B<a>*B<b> and places the
+result in B<r>.
+
+bn_mul_comba8(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>) operates on the 8 word arrays B<a> and
+B<b> and the 16 word array B<r>. It computes B<a>*B<b> and places the
+result in B<r>.
+
+bn_sqr_comba4(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>) operates on the 4 word arrays B<a> and
+B<b> and the 8 word array B<r>.
+
+bn_sqr_comba8(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>) operates on the 8 word arrays B<a> and
+B<b> and the 16 word array B<r>.
+
+The following functions are implemented in C:
+
+bn_cmp_words(B<a>, B<b>, B<n>) operates on the B<n> word arrays B<a>
+and B<b>. It returns 1, 0 and -1 if B<a> is greater than, equal and
+less than B<b>.
+
+bn_mul_normal(B<r>, B<a>, B<na>, B<b>, B<nb>) operates on the B<na>
+word array B<a>, the B<nb> word array B<b> and the B<na>+B<nb> word
+array B<r>. It computes B<a>*B<b> and places the result in B<r>.
+
+bn_mul_low_normal(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>, B<n>) operates on the B<n> word
+arrays B<r>, B<a> and B<b>. It computes the B<n> low words of
+B<a>*B<b> and places the result in B<r>.
+
+bn_mul_recursive(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>, B<n2>, B<dna>, B<dnb>, B<t>) operates
+on the word arrays B<a> and B<b> of length B<n2>+B<dna> and B<n2>+B<dnb>
+(B<dna> and B<dnb> are currently allowed to be 0 or negative) and the 2*B<n2>
+word arrays B<r> and B<t>. B<n2> must be a power of 2. It computes
+B<a>*B<b> and places the result in B<r>.
+
+bn_mul_part_recursive(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>, B<n>, B<tna>, B<tnb>, B<tmp>)
+operates on the word arrays B<a> and B<b> of length B<n>+B<tna> and
+B<n>+B<tnb> and the 4*B<n> word arrays B<r> and B<tmp>.
+
+bn_mul_low_recursive(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>, B<n2>, B<tmp>) operates on the
+B<n2> word arrays B<r> and B<tmp> and the B<n2>/2 word arrays B<a>
+and B<b>.
+
+bn_mul_high(B<r>, B<a>, B<b>, B<l>, B<n2>, B<tmp>) operates on the
+B<n2> word arrays B<r>, B<a>, B<b> and B<l> (?) and the 3*B<n2> word
+array B<tmp>.
+
+BN_mul() calls bn_mul_normal(), or an optimized implementation if the
+factors have the same size: bn_mul_comba8() is used if they are 8
+words long, bn_mul_recursive() if they are larger than
+B<BN_MULL_SIZE_NORMAL> and the size is an exact multiple of the word
+size, and bn_mul_part_recursive() for others that are larger than
+B<BN_MULL_SIZE_NORMAL>.
+
+bn_sqr_normal(B<r>, B<a>, B<n>, B<tmp>) operates on the B<n> word array
+B<a> and the 2*B<n> word arrays B<tmp> and B<r>.
+
+The implementations use the following macros which, depending on the
+architecture, may use "long long" C operations or inline assembler.
+They are defined in C<bn_lcl.h>.
+
+mul(B<r>, B<a>, B<w>, B<c>) computes B<w>*B<a>+B<c> and places the
+low word of the result in B<r> and the high word in B<c>.
+
+mul_add(B<r>, B<a>, B<w>, B<c>) computes B<w>*B<a>+B<r>+B<c> and
+places the low word of the result in B<r> and the high word in B<c>.
+
+sqr(B<r0>, B<r1>, B<a>) computes B<a>*B<a> and places the low word
+of the result in B<r0> and the high word in B<r1>.
+
+=head2 Size changes
+
+bn_expand() ensures that B<b> has enough space for a B<bits> bit
+number. bn_wexpand() ensures that B<b> has enough space for an
+B<n> word number. If the number has to be expanded, both macros
+call bn_expand2(), which allocates a new B<d> array and copies the
+data. They return B<NULL> on error, B<b> otherwise.
+
+The bn_fix_top() macro reduces B<a-E<gt>top> to point to the most
+significant non-zero word plus one when B<a> has shrunk.
+
+=head2 Debugging
+
+bn_check_top() verifies that C<((a)-E<gt>top E<gt>= 0 && (a)-E<gt>top
+E<lt>= (a)-E<gt>dmax)>. A violation will cause the program to abort.
+
+bn_print() prints B<a> to stderr. bn_dump() prints B<n> words at B<d>
+(in reverse order, i.e. most significant word first) to stderr.
+
+bn_set_max() makes B<a> a static number with a B<dmax> of its current size.
+This is used by bn_set_low() and bn_set_high() to make B<r> a read-only
+B<BIGNUM> that contains the B<n> low or high words of B<a>.
+
+If B<BN_DEBUG> is not defined, bn_check_top(), bn_print(), bn_dump()
+and bn_set_max() are defined as empty macros.
