Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers: "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)"

lib/crypto: arm64: Move arch/arm64/lib/crypto/ into lib/crypto/
Move the contents of arch/arm64/lib/crypto/ into lib/crypto/arm64/.
The new code organization makes a lot more sense for how this code actually works and is developed. In particular, it makes it possible to build each algorithm as a single module, with better inlining and dead code elimination. For a more detailed explanation, see the patchset which did this for the CRC library code: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250607200454.73587-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/. Also see the patchset which did this for SHA-512: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20250616014019.415791-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/
This is just a preparatory commit, which does the move to get the files into their new location but keeps them building the same way as before. Later commits will make the actual improvements to the way the arch-optimized code is integrated for each algorithm.
Add a gitignore entry for the removed directory arch/arm64/lib/crypto/ so that people don't accidentally commit leftover generated files.
