Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

Most crypto drivers involving kernel mode NEON take care to put the code that actually touches the NEON register file in a separate compilation unit, to prevent the compiler from reordering code that preserves or restores the NEON context with code that may corrupt it. This is necessary because we currently have no way to express the restrictions imposed upon use of the NEON in kernel mode in a way that the compiler understands. However, in the case of aes-ce-cipher, it did not seem unreasonable to deviate from this rule, given how it does not seem possible for the compiler to reorder cross object function calls with asm blocks whose in- and output constraints reflect that it reads from and writes to memory. Now that LTO is being proposed for the arm64 kernel, it is time to revisit this. The link time optimization may replace the function calls to kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end() with instantiations of the IR that make up its implementation, allowing further reordering with the asm block. So let's clean this up, and move the asm() blocks into a separate .S file.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
