Eric Biggers 3a7dfdbbe3 crypto: x86/aegis - stop using the SIMD helper
Stop wrapping skcipher and aead algorithms with the crypto SIMD helper
(crypto/simd.c).  The only purpose of doing so was to work around x86
not always supporting kernel-mode FPU in softirqs.  Specifically, if a
hardirq interrupted a task context kernel-mode FPU section and then a
softirqs were run at the end of that hardirq, those softirqs could not
use kernel-mode FPU.  This has now been fixed.  In combination with the
fact that the skcipher and aead APIs only support task and softirq
contexts, these can now just use kernel-mode FPU unconditionally on x86.

This simplifies the code and improves performance.

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.
