A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to

"The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography
and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations
sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations
sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for
many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into
the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
code.
Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for
smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained
here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call

Like the algorithms migrated earlier (e.g. SHA-*), this simplifies
the implementations, improves performance, enables further
simplifications in calling code, and solves various other issues:
- AES CBC-based MACs (AES-CMAC, AES-XCBC-MAC, and AES-CBC-MAC)
- Support these algorithms in lib/crypto/ using the AES library
and the existing arm64 assembly code
- Reimplement the traditional crypto API's "cmac(aes)",
"xcbc(aes)", and "cbcmac(aes)" on top of the library
- Convert mac80211 to use the AES-CMAC library. Note: several
other subsystems can use it too and will be converted later
- Drop the broken, nonstandard, and likely unused support for
"xcbc(aes)" with key lengths other than 128 bits
- Enable optimizations by default
- GHASH
- Migrate the standalone GHASH code into lib/crypto/
- Integrate the GHASH code more closely with the very similar
POLYVAL code, and improve the generic GHASH implementation to
resist cache-timing attacks and use much less memory
- Reimplement the AES-GCM library and the "gcm" crypto_aead
template on top of the GHASH library. Remove "ghash" from the
crypto_shash API, as it's no longer needed
- Enable optimizations by default
- SM3
- Migrate the kernel's existing SM3 code into lib/crypto/, and
reimplement the traditional crypto API's "sm3" on top of it
- I don't recommend using SM3, but this cleanup is worthwhile
to organize the code the same way as other algorithms
- Testing improvements:
- Add a KUnit test suite for each of the new library APIs
- Migrate the existing ChaCha20Poly1305 test to KUnit
- Make the KUnit all_tests.config enable all crypto library tests
- Move the test kconfig options to the Runtime Testing menu

- Remove some MD5 implementations that are no longer worth keeping
- Drop big endian and voluntary preemption support from the arm64
code, as those configurations are no longer supported on arm64

crypto_stdrng_get_bytes() is now always available:
- When CRYPTO_FIPS=n it is an inline function that always calls into
the always-built-in drivers/char/random.c.
- When CRYPTO_FIPS=y it is an inline function that calls into either
random.c or crypto/rng.c, depending on the value of fips_enabled.
The former is again always built-in. The latter is built-in as
well in this case, due to CRYPTO_FIPS=y.
Thus, the CRYPTO_RNG_DEFAULT symbol is no longer needed. Remove it.
This makes it so that CRYPTO_DRBG_MENU (and hence also CRYPTO_DRBG,
CRYPTO_JITTERENTROPY, and CRYPTO_LIB_SHA3) no longer gets unnecessarily
pulled into CRYPTO_FIPS=n kernels. I.e. CRYPTO_FIPS=n kernels are no
longer bloated with code that is relevant only to FIPS certifications.

Currently, the callers of crypto_stdrng_get_bytes() do 'select
CRYPTO_RNG_DEFAULT', which does 'select CRYPTO_DRBG_MENU'.
However, due to the change in how crypto_stdrng_get_bytes() is
implemented, CRYPTO_DRBG_MENU is now needed only when CRYPTO_FIPS.
But, 'select CRYPTO_DRBG_MENU if CRYPTO_FIPS' would cause a recursive
dependency, since CRYPTO_FIPS 'depends on CRYPTO_DRBG'.
Solve this by just making CRYPTO_FIPS depend on CRYPTO_DRBG=y (rather
than CRYPTO_DRBG i.e. CRYPTO_DRBG=y || CRYPTO_DRBG=m). The distros that
use CRYPTO_FIPS=y already set CRYPTO_DRBG=y anyway, which makes sense.
This makes the CRYPTO_RNG_DEFAULT symbol (and its corresponding
selection of CRYPTO_DRBG_MENU) unnecessary. A later commit removes it.

Make the "gcm" template access GHASH using the library API instead of
crypto_ahash. This is much simpler and more efficient, especially given
that all GHASH implementations are synchronous and CPU-based anyway.
Note that this allows "ghash" to be removed from the crypto_ahash (and
crypto_shash) API, which a later commit will do.
This mirrors the similar cleanup that was done with POLYVAL.

Currently, the standalone GHASH code is coupled with crypto_shash. This
has resulted in unnecessary complexity and overhead, as well as the code
being unavailable to library code such as the AES-GCM library. Like was
done with POLYVAL, it needs to find a new home in lib/crypto/.
GHASH and POLYVAL are closely related and can each be implemented in
terms of each other. Optimized code for one can be reused with the
other. But also since GHASH tends to be difficult to implement directly
due to its unnatural bit order, most modern GHASH implementations
(including the existing arm, arm64, powerpc, and x86 optimized GHASH
code, and the new generic GHASH code I'll be adding) actually
reinterpret the GHASH computation as an equivalent POLYVAL computation,
pre and post-processing the inputs and outputs to map to/from POLYVAL.
Given this close relationship, it makes sense to group the GHASH and
POLYVAL code together in the same module. This gives us a wide range of
options for implementing them, reusing code between the two and properly
utilizing whatever instructions each architecture provides.
Thus, GHASH support will be added to the library module that is
currently called "polyval". Rename it to an appropriate name:
"gf128hash". Rename files, options, functions, etc. where appropriate
to reflect the upcoming sharing with GHASH. (Note: polyval_kunit is not
renamed, as ghash_kunit will be added alongside it instead.)

Update the "aes" module to implement "cmac(aes)", "xcbc(aes)", and
"cbcmac(aes)" algorithms using the corresponding library functions, and
register these with the crypto_shash API. Each algorithm is included
only if the corresponding existing kconfig option is enabled.
This allows the architecture-optimized implementations of these
algorithms to continue to be accessible via the crypto_shash API once
they are migrated into the library.
For "xcbc(aes)", I also fixed the bug where AES key lengths other than
128 bits were allowed, so that this bug didn't have to be implemented in
the library. The AES-XCBC-MAC specification (RFC 3566) is clear that
key lengths other than 128 bits MUST NOT be supported. AES-XCBC-MAC
derives a 128-bit subkey internally, so the nonstandard support for
longer AES keys didn't really work: AES-128 was still used internally.
In the unlikely event that someone is actually relying on the broken and
nonstandard support for longer AES-XCBC-MAC keys, we can fairly easily
reintroduce it. But it seems unnecessary: the only user of "xcbc(aes)"
seems to be IPsec, which uses 128-bit keys with it.

Remove aes-fixed-time, i.e. CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_TI. This was a wrapper
around the 256-byte-table-based AES implementation in lib/crypto/aes.c,
with extra code to enable and disable IRQs for constant-time hardening.
While nice in theory, in practice this had the following issues:
- For bulk en/decryption it was 2-4 times slower than aes-generic. This
resulted in aes-generic still being needed, creating fragmentation.
- Having both aes-generic and aes-fixed-time punted an AES
implementation decision to distros and users who are generally
unprepared to handle it. In practice, whether aes-fixed-time gets
used tends to be incidental and not match an explicit distro or user
intent. (While aes-fixed-time has a higher priority than aes-generic,
whether it actually gets enabled, loaded, and used depends on the
kconfig and whether a modprobe of "aes" happens to be done. It also
has a lower priority than aes-arm and aes-arm64.)
- My changes to the generic AES code (in other commits) significantly
close the gap with aes-fixed-time anyway. The table size is reduced
from 8192 bytes to 1024 bytes, and prefetching is added.
- While AES code *should* be constant-time, the real solutions for that
are AES instructions (which most CPUs have now) or bit-slicing. arm
and arm64 already have bit-sliced AES code for many modes; generic
bit-sliced code could be written but would be very slow for single
blocks. Overall, I suggest that trying to write constant-time
table-based AES code is a bit futile anyway, and in the rare cases
where a proper AES implementation is still unavailable it's reasonable
to compromise with an implementation that simply prefetches the table.
Thus, this commit removes aes-fixed-time and CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_TI. The
replacement is just the existing CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES, which for now maps
to the existing aes-generic code, but I'll soon be changing to use the
improved AES library code instead.
