Pull interleaved SHA-256 hashing support from Eric Biggers:
"Optimize fsverity with 2-way interleaved hashing
Add support for 2-way interleaved SHA-256 hashing to lib/crypto/, and
make fsverity use it for faster file data verification. This improves
fsverity performance on many x86_64 and arm64 processors.
Later, I plan to make dm-verity use this too"
* tag 'fsverity-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fsverity/linux:
fsverity: Use 2-way interleaved SHA-256 hashing when supported
fsverity: Remove inode parameter from fsverity_hash_block()
lib/crypto: tests: Add tests and benchmark for sha256_finup_2x()
lib/crypto: x86/sha256: Add support for 2-way interleaved hashing
lib/crypto: arm64/sha256: Add support for 2-way interleaved hashing
lib/crypto: sha256: Add support for 2-way interleaved hashing
Add an implementation of sha256_finup_2x_arch() for arm64. It
interleaves the computation of two SHA-256 hashes using the ARMv8
SHA-256 instructions. dm-verity and fs-verity will take advantage of
this for greatly improved performance on capable CPUs.
This increases the throughput of SHA-256 hashing 4096-byte messages by
the following amounts on the following CPUs:
ARM Cortex-X1: 70%
ARM Cortex-X3: 68%
ARM Cortex-A76: 65%
ARM Cortex-A715: 43%
ARM Cortex-A510: 25%
ARM Cortex-A55: 8%

Consolidate the ChaCha code into a single module (excluding
chacha-block-generic.c which remains always built-in for random.c),
similar to various other algorithms:
- Each arch now provides a header file lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/chacha.h,
replacing lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/chacha*.c. The header defines
chacha_crypt_arch() and hchacha_block_arch(). It is included by
lib/crypto/chacha.c, and thus the code gets built into the single
libchacha module, with improved inlining in some cases.
- Whether arch-optimized ChaCha is buildable is now controlled centrally
by lib/crypto/Kconfig instead of by lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/Kconfig.
The conditions for enabling it remain the same as before, and it
remains enabled by default.
- Any additional arch-specific translation units for the optimized
ChaCha code, such as assembly files, are now compiled by
lib/crypto/Makefile instead of lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile.
This removes the last use for the Makefile and Kconfig files in the
arm64, mips, powerpc, riscv, and s390 subdirectories of lib/crypto/. So
also remove those files and the references to them.

Consolidate the Poly1305 code into a single module, similar to various
other algorithms (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, etc.):
- Each arch now provides a header file lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/poly1305.h,
replacing lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/poly1305*.c. The header defines
poly1305_block_init(), poly1305_blocks(), poly1305_emit(), and
optionally poly1305_mod_init_arch(). It is included by
lib/crypto/poly1305.c, and thus the code gets built into the single
libpoly1305 module, with improved inlining in some cases.
- Whether arch-optimized Poly1305 is buildable is now controlled
centrally by lib/crypto/Kconfig instead of by
lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/Kconfig. The conditions for enabling it remain
the same as before, and it remains enabled by default. (The PPC64 one
remains unconditionally disabled due to 'depends on BROKEN'.)
- Any additional arch-specific translation units for the optimized
Poly1305 code, such as assembly files, are now compiled by
lib/crypto/Makefile instead of lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile.
A special consideration is needed because the Adiantum code uses the
poly1305_core_*() functions directly. For now, just carry forward that
approach. This means retaining the CRYPTO_LIB_POLY1305_GENERIC kconfig
symbol, and keeping the poly1305_core_*() functions in separate
translation units. So it's not quite as streamlined I've done with the
other hash functions, but we still get a single libpoly1305 module.

.h files, view this commit with 'git show -M10'.

Drop 'inline' from all the *_mod_init_arch() functions so that the
compiler will warn about any bugs where they are unused due to not being
wired up properly. (There are no such bugs currently, so this just
establishes a more robust convention for the future. Of course, these
functions also tend to get inlined anyway, regardless of the keyword.)

Since sha512_kunit tests the fallback code paths without using
crypto_simd_disabled_for_test, make the SHA-512 code just use the
underlying may_use_simd() and irq_fpu_usable() functions directly
instead of crypto_simd_usable(). This eliminates an unnecessary layer.

Instead of exposing the arm64-optimized SHA-1 code via arm64-specific
crypto_shash algorithms, instead just implement the sha1_blocks()
library function. This is much simpler, it makes the SHA-1 library
functions be arm64-optimized, and it fixes the longstanding issue where
the arm64-optimized SHA-1 code was disabled by default. SHA-1 still
remains available through crypto_shash, but individual architectures no
longer need to handle it.
Remove support for SHA-1 finalization from assembly code, since the
library does not yet support architecture-specific overrides of the
finalization. (Support for that has been omitted for now, for
simplicity and because usually it isn't performance-critical.)
To match sha1_blocks(), change the type of the nblocks parameter and the
return value of __sha1_ce_transform() from int to size_t. Update the
assembly code accordingly.

Restore the SIMD usability check that was removed by commit a59e5468a9
("crypto: arm64/poly1305 - Add block-only interface").
This safety check is cheap and is well worth eliminating a footgun.
While the Poly1305 functions should not be called when SIMD registers
are unusable, if they are anyway, they should just do the right thing
instead of corrupting random tasks' registers and/or computing incorrect
MACs. Fixing this is also needed for poly1305_kunit to pass.
Just use may_use_simd() instead of the original crypto_simd_usable(),
since poly1305_kunit won't rely on crypto_simd_disabled_for_test.

Consolidate the CPU-based SHA-256 code into a single module, following
what I did with SHA-512:
- Each arch now provides a header file lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/sha256.h,
replacing lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/sha256.c. The header defines
sha256_blocks() and optionally sha256_mod_init_arch(). It is included
by lib/crypto/sha256.c, and thus the code gets built into the single
libsha256 module, with proper inlining and dead code elimination.
- sha256_blocks_generic() is moved from lib/crypto/sha256-generic.c into
lib/crypto/sha256.c. It's now a static function marked with
__maybe_unused, so the compiler automatically eliminates it in any
cases where it's not used.
- Whether arch-optimized SHA-256 is buildable is now controlled
centrally by lib/crypto/Kconfig instead of by
lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/Kconfig. The conditions for enabling it remain
the same as before, and it remains enabled by default.
- Any additional arch-specific translation units for the optimized
SHA-256 code (such as assembly files) are now compiled by
lib/crypto/Makefile instead of lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile.

Instead of having both sha256_blocks_arch() and sha256_blocks_simd(),
instead have just sha256_blocks_arch() which uses the most efficient
implementation that is available in the calling context.
This is simpler, as it reduces the API surface. It's also safer, since
sha256_blocks_arch() just works in all contexts, including contexts
where the FPU/SIMD/vector registers cannot be used. This doesn't mean
that SHA-256 computations *should* be done in such contexts, but rather
we should just do the right thing instead of corrupting a random task's
registers. Eliminating this footgun and simplifying the code is well
worth the very small performance cost of doing the check.
Note: in the case of arm and arm64, what used to be sha256_blocks_arch()
is renamed back to its original name of sha256_block_data_order().
sha256_blocks_arch() is now used for the higher-level dispatch function.
This renaming also required an update to lib/crypto/arm64/sha512.h,
since sha2-armv8.pl is shared by both SHA-256 and SHA-512.

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.
