Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - crypto and DM crypt advances that allow the crypto API to reclaim
   implementation details that do not belong in DM crypt. The wrapper
   template for ESSIV generation that was factored out will also be used
   by fscrypt in the future.

 - Add root hash pkcs#7 signature verification to the DM verity target.

 - Add a new "clone" DM target that allows for efficient remote
   replication of a device.

 - Enhance DM bufio's cache to be tailored to each client based on use.
   Clients that make heavy use of the cache get more of it, and those
   that use less have reduced cache usage.

 - Add a new DM_GET_TARGET_VERSION ioctl to allow userspace to query the
   version number of a DM target (even if the associated module isn't
   yet loaded).

 - Fix invalid memory access in DM zoned target.

 - Fix the max_discard_sectors limit advertised by the DM raid target;
   it was mistakenly storing the limit in bytes rather than sectors.

 - Small optimizations and cleanups in DM writecache target.

 - Various fixes and cleanups in DM core, DM raid1 and space map portion
   of DM persistent data library.

Implement a template that wraps a (skcipher,shash) or (aead,shash) tuple
so that we can consolidate the ESSIV handling in fscrypt and dm-crypt and
move it into the crypto API. This will result in better test coverage, and
will allow future changes to make the bare cipher interface internal to the
crypto subsystem, in order to increase robustness of the API against misuse.

Drop the duplicate generic sha256 (and sha224) implementation from
crypto/sha256_generic.c and use the implementation from

"diff -u lib/crypto/sha256.c sha256_generic.c" shows that the core

<title>crypto: des - split off DES library from generic DES cipher driver</title>

<content type='text'>
Another one for the cipher museum: split off DES core processing into
a separate module so other drivers (mostly for crypto accelerators)
can reuse the code without pulling in the generic DES cipher itself.
This will also permit the cipher interface to be made private to the
crypto API itself once we move the only user in the kernel (CIFS) to
this library interface.

<content type='text'>
Provide an accelerated implementation of aegis128 by wiring up the
SIMD hooks in the generic driver to an implementation based on NEON
intrinsics, which can be compiled to both ARM and arm64 code.

This results in a performance of 2.2 cycles per byte on Cortex-A53,
which is a performance increase of ~11x compared to the generic
code.

They cause compile errors on platforms other than ARM because

To help avoid confusion, add a comment to ghash-generic.c which explains
the convention that the kernel's implementation of GHASH uses.

Also update the Kconfig help text and module descriptions to call GHASH
a "hash function" rather than a "message digest", since the latter
normally means a real cryptographic hash function, which GHASH is not.

Three variants of AEGIS were proposed for the CAESAR competition, and
only one was selected for the final portfolio: AEGIS128.

The other variants, AEGIS128L and AEGIS256, are not likely to ever turn
up in networking protocols or other places where interoperability
between Linux and other systems is a concern, nor are they likely to
be subjected to further cryptanalysis. However, uninformed users may
think that AEGIS128L (which is faster) is equally fit for use.

So let's remove them now, before anyone starts using them and we are
forced to support them forever.

Note that there are no known flaws in the algorithms or in any of these
implementations, but they have simply outlived their usefulness.
