298c926c6d crypto: cryptd - Adding the AEAD interface type support to cryptd
This patch adds AEAD support into the cryptd framework. Having AEAD
support in cryptd enables crypto drivers that use the AEAD
interface type (such as the patch for AEAD based RFC4106 AES-GCM
implementation using Intel New Instructions) to leverage cryptd for
asynchronous processing.

0e1227d356 crypto: ghash - Add PCLMULQDQ accelerated implementation
PCLMULQDQ is used to accelerate the most time-consuming part of GHASH,
carry-less multiplication. More information about PCLMULQDQ can be
found at:

http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/carry-less-multiplication-and-its-usage-for-computing-the-gcm-mode/

Because PCLMULQDQ changes XMM state, its usage must be enclosed with
kernel_fpu_begin/end, which can be used only in process context, the
acceleration is implemented as crypto_ahash. That is, request in soft
IRQ context will be defered to the cryptd kernel thread.

ace1366369 crypto: cryptd - Add support to access underlaying shash
cryptd_alloc_ahash() will allocate a cryptd-ed ahash for specified
algorithm name. The new allocated one is guaranteed to be cryptd-ed
ahash, so the shash underlying can be gotten via cryptd_ahash_child().

1cac2cbc76 crypto: cryptd - Add support to access underlying blkcipher
cryptd_alloc_ablkcipher() will allocate a cryptd-ed ablkcipher for
specified algorithm name. The new allocated one is guaranteed to be
cryptd-ed ablkcipher, so the blkcipher underlying can be gotten via
cryptd_ablkcipher_child().
