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)"

Move the mips-optimized CRC code from arch/mips/lib/crc* into its new
location in lib/crc/mips/, 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,
see "lib/crc: Prepare for arch-optimized code in subdirs of lib/crc/".

<content type='text'>
Move the contents of arch/mips/lib/crypto/ into lib/crypto/mips/.

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/mips/lib/crypto/ so
that people don't accidentally commit leftover generated files.

Continue disentangling the crypto library functions from the generic
crypto infrastructure by moving the mips ChaCha and Poly1305 library
functions into a new directory arch/mips/lib/crypto/ that does not
depend on CRYPTO.  This mirrors the distinction between crypto/ and
lib/crypto/.

<content type='text'>
Move the mips CRC32 assembly code into the lib directory and wire it up
to the library interface.  This allows it to be used without going
through the crypto API.  It remains usable via the crypto API too via
the shash algorithms that use the library interface.  Thus all the
arch-specific "shash" code becomes unnecessary and is removed.

Note: to see the diff from arch/mips/crypto/crc32-mips.c to
arch/mips/lib/crc32-mips.c, view this commit with 'git show -M10'.

<content type='text'>
MIPS has a copy of lib/iomap.c with minor alterations, none of which are
necessary given appropriate definitions of PIO_OFFSET, PIO_MASK &amp;
PIO_RESERVED. Provide such definitions, select GENERIC_IOMAP &amp; remove
arch/mips/lib/iomap.c to cut back on the needless duplication.

The one change this does make is to our mmio_{in,out}s[bwl] functions,
which began to deviate from their generic counterparts with commit
0845bb721ebb ("MIPS: iomap: Use __mem_{read,write}{b,w,l} for MMIO"). I
suspect that this commit was incorrect, and that the SEAD-3 platform
should have instead selected CONFIG_SWAP_IO_SPACE. Since the SEAD-3
platform code is now gone &amp; the board is instead supported by the
generic platform (CONFIG_MIPS_GENERIC) which selects
CONFIG_SWAP_IO_SPACE anyway, this shouldn't be a problem any more.

<title>MIPS: Implement __multi3 for GCC7 MIPS64r6 builds</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ebabcf17bcd7ce968b1631ebe08236275698f39b</id>
<content type='text'>
GCC7 is a bit too eager to generate suboptimal __multi3 calls (128bit
multiply with 128bit result) for MIPS64r6 builds, even in code which
doesn't explicitly use 128bit types, such as the following:

unsigned long func(unsigned long a, unsigned long b)
{
	return a &gt; (~0UL) / b;
}

Which GCC rearanges to:

return (unsigned __int128)a * (unsigned __int128)b &gt; 0xffffffffffffffff;

Therefore implement __multi3, but only for MIPS64r6 with GCC7 as under
normal circumstances we wouldn't expect any calls to __multi3 to be
generated from kernel code.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
