Merge tag 'libcrypto-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:

- Add support for verifying ML-DSA signatures.

ML-DSA (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm) is a
recently-standardized post-quantum (quantum-resistant) signature
algorithm. It was known as Dilithium pre-standardization.

The first use case in the kernel will be module signing. But there
are also other users of RSA and ECDSA signatures in the kernel that
might want to upgrade to ML-DSA eventually.

- Improve the AES library:

- Make the AES key expansion and single block encryption and
decryption functions use the architecture-optimized AES code.
Enable these optimizations by default.

- Support preparing an AES key for encryption-only, using about
half as much memory as a bidirectional key.

- Replace the existing two generic implementations of AES with a
single one.

- Simplify how Adiantum message hashing is implemented. Remove the
"nhpoly1305" crypto_shash in favor of direct lib/crypto/ support for
NH hashing, and enable optimizations by default.

lib/crypto: sparc/aes: Migrate optimized code into library

Move the SPARC64 AES assembly code into lib/crypto/, wire the key
expansion and single-block en/decryption functions up to the AES library

lib/crypto: sparc/aes: Migrate optimized code into library

Move the SPARC64 AES assembly code into lib/crypto/, wire the key
expansion and single-block en/decryption functions up to the AES library
API, and remove the "aes-sparc64" crypto_cipher algorithm.

The result is that both the AES library and crypto_cipher APIs use the
SPARC64 AES opcodes, whereas previously only crypto_cipher did (and it
wasn't enabled by default, which this commit fixes as well).

Note that some of the functions in the SPARC64 AES assembly code are
still used by the AES mode implementations in
arch/sparc/crypto/aes_glue.c. For now, just export these functions.
These exports will go away once the AES mode implementations are
migrated to the library as well. (Trying to split up the assembly file
seemed like much more trouble than it would be worth.)
