Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
 "This is the main crypto library pull request for 6.17. The main focus
  this cycle is on reorganizing the SHA-1 and SHA-2 code, providing
  high-quality library APIs for SHA-1 and SHA-2 including HMAC support,
  and establishing conventions for lib/crypto/ going forward:

   - Migrate the SHA-1 and SHA-512 code (and also SHA-384 which shares
     most of the SHA-512 code) into lib/crypto/. This includes both the
     generic and architecture-optimized code. Greatly simplify how the
     architecture-optimized code is integrated. Add an easy-to-use
     library API for each SHA variant, including HMAC support. Finally,
     reimplement the crypto_shash support on top of the library API.

   - Apply the same reorganization to the SHA-256 code (and also SHA-224
     which shares most of the SHA-256 code). This is a somewhat smaller
     change, due to my earlier work on SHA-256. But this brings in all
     the same additional improvements that I made for SHA-1 and SHA-512.

  There are also some smaller changes:

   - Move the architecture-optimized ChaCha, Poly1305, and BLAKE2s code
     from arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/crypto/ to lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/. For
     these algorithms it's just a move, not a full reorganization yet.

   - Fix the MIPS chacha-core.S to build with the clang assembler.

   - Fix the Poly1305 functions to work in all contexts.

   - Fix a performance regression in the x86_64 Poly1305 code.

   - Clean up the x86_64 SHA-NI optimized SHA-1 assembly code.

  Note that since the new organization of the SHA code is much simpler,
  the diffstat of this pull request is negative, despite the addition of
  new fully-documented library APIs for multiple SHA and HMAC-SHA
  variants.

  These APIs will allow further simplifications across the kernel as
  users start using them instead of the old-school crypto API. (I've
  already written a lot of such conversion patches, removing over 1000
  more lines of code. But most of those will target 6.18 or later)"

Extract KVM's open-coded calls to do writeback caches on multiple CPUs to
common library helpers for both WBINVD and WBNOINVD (KVM will use both).
Put the onus on the caller to check for a non-empty mask to simplify the
SMP=n implementation, e.g. so that it doesn't need to check that the one
and only CPU in the system is present in the mask.

In line with WBINVD usage, add WBNOINVD helper functions.  Explicitly fall
back to WBINVD (via alternative()) if WBNOINVD isn't supported even though
the instruction itself is backwards compatible (WBNOINVD is WBINVD with an
ignored REP prefix), so that disabling X86_FEATURE_WBNOINVD behaves as one
would expect, e.g. in case there's a hardware issue that affects WBNOINVD.

Opportunistically, add comments explaining the architectural behavior of
WBINVD and WBNOINVD, and provide hints and pointers to uarch-specific
behavior.

Note, alternative() ensures compatibility with early boot code as needed.

Move the x86-optimized CRC code from arch/x86/lib/crc* into its new
location in lib/crc/x86/, and wire it up in the new way.  This new way
of organizing the CRC code eliminates the need to artificially split the
code for each CRC variant into separate arch and generic modules,
enabling better inlining and dead code elimination.  For more details,

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.

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.

 "Boot code changes:

   - A large series of changes to reorganize the x86 boot code into a
     better isolated and easier to maintain base of PIC early startup
     code in arch/x86/boot/startup/, by Ard Biesheuvel.

     Motivation &amp; background:

  	| Since commit
  	|
  	|    c88d71508e36 ("x86/boot/64: Rewrite startup_64() in C")
  	|
  	| dated Jun 6 2017, we have been using C code on the boot path in a way
  	| that is not supported by the toolchain, i.e., to execute non-PIC C
  	| code from a mapping of memory that is different from the one provided
  	| to the linker. It should have been obvious at the time that this was a
  	| bad idea, given the need to sprinkle fixup_pointer() calls left and
  	| right to manipulate global variables (including non-pointer variables)
  	| without crashing.
  	|
  	| This C startup code has been expanding, and in particular, the SEV-SNP
  	| startup code has been expanding over the past couple of years, and
  	| grown many of these warts, where the C code needs to use special
  	| annotations or helpers to access global objects.

     This tree includes the first phase of this work-in-progress x86
     boot code reorganization.

     CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y (Kees Cook)

   - Simplify the switch_fpu_prepare() + switch_fpu_finish() logic (Oleg
     Nesterov)

   - Always preserve non-user xfeatures/flags in __state_perm (Sean
     Christopherson)

  Microcode loader changes:
