docs: document failed UMULH approaches on Android
Remove crypto-intrinsics module and API-tiered dispatch files. Revert to the pure-Kotlin fallback for Android field multiply. Three approaches to reach hardware UMULH were tested on Pixel 8 (Android 16, API 36) and all failed: 1. Direct Math.unsignedMultiplyHigh from Kotlin: D8 replaces with pure-Java backport when app minSdk=26 < 35. 2. MethodHandle.invokeExact via Java helper module: Bytecode correct (invoke-polymorphic JJ→J, zero boxing), but ART can't inline invoke-polymorphic. 25ns/call → 2.2x regression. 3. Full fieldMulReduce in Java, module with minSdk=35: D8 runs at APP level with app's minSdk=26, not library's minSdk=35. Trace confirmed: FieldMulIntrinsic$$ExternalSyntheticBackport0.m still generated. Plus Long.compareUnsigned (282ns/call) is slower than Kotlin's inlined XOR trick (~0ns). The Kotlin inline+crossinline pattern remains optimal for ART: - unsignedMultiplyHighFallback inlined at each call site - uLtInline uses XOR+compare (no method call) - Fused function fits ART's inlining budget UMULH on Android requires raising app minSdk to 35. https://claude.ai/code/session_015CtM5k88rF7WFgX8o2AGNR

/**

* Android field multiply/square — dispatches to the best available intrinsic.
|
||||
* Uses the pure-Kotlin fused fallback for all API levels.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Three implementations, selected once at class load:
|
||||
* - API 35+ (Android 15): Math.unsignedMultiplyHigh via MethodHandle → UMULH on ARM64
|
||||
* - API 31+ (Android 12): Math.multiplyHigh via MethodHandle + unsigned correction → SMULH
|
||||
* - Below: pure-Kotlin fallback (4 Long multiplies + shifts)
|
||||
* THREE approaches to reach hardware UMULH were tested and all failed:
|
||||
*
|
||||
* WHY MethodHandle instead of direct Math.xxx calls?
|
||||
* D8 desugaring replaces ALL direct references to Math.unsignedMultiplyHigh and
|
||||
* Math.multiplyHigh with synthetic backport wrappers (ExternalSyntheticBackport0.m)
|
||||
* when minSdk < the API that introduced them. These backports are pure-Java fallbacks
|
||||
* that never reach the hardware intrinsic — even on devices running API 35+.
|
||||
* MethodHandle.invokeExact uses DEX invoke-polymorphic which D8 cannot desugar,
|
||||
* so ART resolves directly to the real Math method and intrinsifies it.
|
||||
* 1. Direct Math.unsignedMultiplyHigh: D8 replaces with pure-Java backport
|
||||
* when app minSdk=26 < 35, even inside libraries with minSdk=35.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The API level check happens ONCE here, not per-multiply-high call. Each fused
|
||||
* fieldMulReduceWith inlines the intrinsic lambda at every call site (~16 per mul),
|
||||
* producing tight bytecode with zero per-call dispatch overhead.
|
||||
* 2. MethodHandle.invokeExact (crypto-intrinsics Java module): Bytecode correct
|
||||
* (invoke-polymorphic JJ→J, zero boxing), but ART can't inline through
|
||||
* invoke-polymorphic. 25ns/call × 12K calls = 2.2x regression.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* 3. Full fieldMulReduce in Java with minSdk=35 module: D8 desugaring runs
|
||||
* at APP level with app's minSdk=26, not library's minSdk=35. All
|
||||
* Math.unsignedMultiplyHigh calls still get backported. Plus Java's
|
||||
* Long.compareUnsigned (282ns/call) is slower than Kotlin's inlined XOR trick.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The Kotlin inline+crossinline pattern produces the best ART code:
|
||||
* - unsignedMultiplyHighFallback is inlined at each call site (zero dispatch)
|
||||
* - uLtInline uses XOR+compare (zero method call, ~0ns overhead)
|
||||
* - The fused function stays within ART's inlining budget
