Linus Torvalds 13150742b0 Crypto library updates for 6.17
This is the main crypto library pull request for 6.17. The main focus
 this cycle is on reorganizing the SHA-1 and SHA-2 code, providing
 high-quality library APIs for SHA-1 and SHA-2 including HMAC support,
 and establishing conventions for lib/crypto/ going forward:
 
  - Migrate the SHA-1 and SHA-512 code (and also SHA-384 which shares
    most of the SHA-512 code) into lib/crypto/. This includes both the
    generic and architecture-optimized code. Greatly simplify how the
    architecture-optimized code is integrated. Add an easy-to-use
    library API for each SHA variant, including HMAC support. Finally,
    reimplement the crypto_shash support on top of the library API.
 
  - Apply the same reorganization to the SHA-256 code (and also SHA-224
    which shares most of the SHA-256 code). This is a somewhat smaller
    change, due to my earlier work on SHA-256. But this brings in all
    the same additional improvements that I made for SHA-1 and SHA-512.
 
 There are also some smaller changes:
 
  - Move the architecture-optimized ChaCha, Poly1305, and BLAKE2s code
    from arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/crypto/ to lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/. For
    these algorithms it's just a move, not a full reorganization yet.
 
  - Fix the MIPS chacha-core.S to build with the clang assembler.
 
  - Fix the Poly1305 functions to work in all contexts.
 
  - Fix a performance regression in the x86_64 Poly1305 code.
 
  - Clean up the x86_64 SHA-NI optimized SHA-1 assembly code.
 
 Note that since the new organization of the SHA code is much simpler,
 the diffstat of this pull request is negative, despite the addition of
 new fully-documented library APIs for multiple SHA and HMAC-SHA
 variants. These APIs will allow further simplifications across the
 kernel as users start using them instead of the old-school crypto API.
 (I've already written a lot of such conversion patches, removing over
 1000 more lines of code. But most of those will target 6.18 or later.)

README

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 reStructuredText 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.
