Bits 31:0 – MSGSIZE[31:0] Message Size

The size in bytes of the message. When MSGSIZE differs from 0, the SHA appends the corresponding value converted in bits after the padding section, as described in the FIPS180 specification.

To disable automatic padding, MSGSIZE field must be written to 0.

Note: SHA_MSR is a 32-bit register, thus the automatic padding capability is limited to messages of less than 4 gigabytes. For messages greater than 4 gigabytes, padding must be performed by the software.
