As was done with the other algorithms, reorganize the BLAKE2s code so
that the generic implementation and the arch-specific "glue" code is
consolidated into a single translation unit, so that the compiler will
inline the functions and automatically decide whether to include the
generic code in the resulting binary or not.
Similarly, also consolidate the build rules into
lib/crypto/{Makefile,Kconfig}. This removes the last uses of
lib/crypto/{arm,x86}/{Makefile,Kconfig}, so remove those too.
Don't keep the !KMSAN dependency. It was needed only for other
algorithms such as ChaCha that initialize memory from assembly code.

When support for a crypto algorithm is enabled, the arch-optimized
implementation of that algorithm should be enabled too. We've learned
this the hard way many times over the years: people regularly forget to
enable the arch-optimized implementations of the crypto algorithms,
resulting in significant performance being left on the table.
Currently, BLAKE2s support is always enabled ('obj-y'), since random.c
uses it. Therefore, the arch-optimized BLAKE2s code, which exists for
ARM and x86_64, should be always enabled too. Let's do that.
Note that the effect on kernel image size is very small and should not
be a concern. On ARM, enabling CRYPTO_BLAKE2S_ARM actually *shrinks*
the kernel size by about 1200 bytes, since the ARM-optimized
blake2s_compress() completely replaces the generic blake2s_compress().
On x86_64, enabling CRYPTO_BLAKE2S_X86 increases the kernel size by
about 1400 bytes, as the generic blake2s_compress() is still included as
a fallback; however, for context, that is only about a quarter the size
of the generic blake2s_compress(). The x86_64 optimized BLAKE2s code
uses much less icache at runtime than the generic code.

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.
Note: to see the diff from the arm, arm64, and x86 .c files to the new
.h files, view this commit with 'git show -M10'.

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/x86/lib/crypto/ into lib/crypto/x86/.
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/x86/lib/crypto/ so
that people don't accidentally commit leftover generated files.
