Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
 "Add library APIs for most AES encryption modes that are used in the
  kernel (ECB, CBC, CBC-CTS, CTR, XCTR, XTS, GCM, CCM).

  These AES modes have many in-kernel users that are currently using the
  crypto_skcipher or crypto_aead APIs. These existing APIs are difficult
  to use and inefficient. Until now, the lack of proper library support
  for these has been the main gap in the crypto library.

  This set of changes is the next stage of addressing it:

   - Implement the new APIs on top of the existing support for
     single-block AES in the library.

   - Fully document the new APIs.

   - Migrate the only user of the old AES-GCM library API to the new,
     more flexible API; then remove the old API and its implementation.

   - Wire up the new APIs to the traditional crypto API by adding
     crypto_skcipher and crypto_aead algorithms.

     This makes the new APIs be covered by the traditional crypto API's
     self-tests. It also makes them be already used for real on systems
     that don't have architecture-optimized code for these modes.

     But most importantly, this is a prerequisite for migrating the
     architecture-optimized code for these AES modes (i.e.
     arch/*/crypto/aes*) into the library, which as usual will eliminate
     a lot of redundant "glue" code.

  Note that unlike some of the other algorithms that have been migrated
  to the library, e.g. SHA-512, for these AES modes there was too much
  to get done in one cycle. Nor did it make sense to handle these modes
  one at a time, because they tend to be coupled together or depend on
  each other, especially in the architecture-optimized AES code.

  Thus, most of the benefits (reductions in lines of code, performance
  improvements, etc.) will follow in later cycles when
  architecture-optimized code is migrated into the library and users of
  crypto_skcipher and crypto_aead are updated to use the new APIs.

  The design of the new APIs was informed by writing proof-of-concept
  patches for many kernel subsystems currently accessing these same
  algorithms via crypto_skcipher or crypto_aead (patches 18-33 of
  https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260707053503.209874-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/).

  While those patches will be resent for real later, the total diffstat
  for them was negative 1905 lines. So clearly the new APIs are quite a
  bit easier to use and align better with what users actually need.

  Besides the new AES encryption APIs, there are also a few changes for
  improved AES-CMAC key and context zeroization"
