Eric Biggers 649383fa7f lib/crypto: mips/chacha: Fix clang build and remove unneeded byteswap 
commit 22375adaa0 upstream.

The MIPS32r2 ChaCha code has never been buildable with the clang
assembler.  First, clang doesn't support the 'rotl' pseudo-instruction:

    error: unknown instruction, did you mean: rol, rotr?

Second, clang requires that both operands of the 'wsbh' instruction be
explicitly given:

    error: too few operands for instruction

To fix this, align the code with the real instruction set by (1) using
the real instruction 'rotr' instead of the nonstandard pseudo-
instruction 'rotl', and (2) explicitly giving both operands to 'wsbh'.

To make removing the use of 'rotl' a bit easier, also remove the
unnecessary special-casing for big endian CPUs at
.Lchacha_mips_xor_bytes.  The tail handling is actually
endian-independent since it processes one byte at a time.  On big endian
CPUs the old code byte-swapped SAVED_X, then iterated through it in
reverse order.  But the byteswap and reverse iteration canceled out.

Tested with chacha20poly1305-selftest in QEMU using "-M malta" with both
little endian and big endian mips32r2 kernels.

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 Restructured Text 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.
