<title>lib/crc: arm64: add NEON accelerated CRC64-NVMe implementation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:63432fd625372a0e79fb00a4009af204f4edc013</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement an optimized CRC64 (NVMe) algorithm for ARM64 using NEON
Polynomial Multiply Long (PMULL) instructions. The generic shift-and-XOR
software implementation is slow, which creates a bottleneck in NVMe and
other storage subsystems.

The acceleration is implemented using C intrinsics (&lt;arm_neon.h&gt;) rather
than raw assembly for better readability and maintainability.

Key highlights of this implementation:
- Uses 4KB chunking inside scoped_ksimd() to avoid preemption latency
  spikes on large buffers.
- Pre-calculates and loads fold constants via vld1q_u64() to minimize
  register spilling.
- Benchmarks show the break-even point against the generic implementation
  is around 128 bytes. The PMULL path is enabled only for len &gt;= 128.

Performance results (kunit crc_benchmark on Cortex-A72):
- Generic (len=4096): ~268 MB/s
- PMULL (len=4096): ~1556 MB/s (nearly 6x improvement)

CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON is always enabled on arm64, and it always has
been since its introduction in 2013.  Given that and the fact that the
usefulness of kernel-mode NEON has only been increasing over time,
checking for this option in arm64-specific code is unnecessary.  Remove
this check from lib/crc/ to simplify the code and prevent any future
bugs where e.g. code gets disabled due to a typo in this logic.

Now that crc_kunit uses the standard "depends on" pattern, enabling the
full set of CRC tests is a bit difficult, mainly due to CRC7 being
rarely used.  Add a kconfig option to make it easier.  It is visible
only when KUNIT, so hopefully the extra prompt won't be too annoying.

<title>lib/crc: tests: Make crc_kunit test only the enabled CRC variants</title>

<id>urn:sha1:85c9f3a2b805eb96d899da7bcc38a16459aa3c16</id>
<content type='text'>
Like commit 4478e8eeb871 ("lib/crypto: tests: Depend on library options
rather than selecting them") did with the crypto library tests, make
crc_kunit depend on the code it tests rather than selecting it.  This
follows the standard convention for KUnit and fixes an issue where
enabling KUNIT_ALL_TESTS enabled non-test code.

crc_kunit does differ from the crypto library tests in that it
consolidates the tests for multiple CRC variants, with 5 kconfig
options, into one KUnit suite.  Since depending on *all* of these
kconfig options would greatly restrict the ability to enable crc_kunit,
instead just depend on *any* of these options.  Update crc_kunit
accordingly to test only the reachable code.

Alternatively we could split crc_kunit into 5 test suites.  But keeping
it as one is simpler for now.

Fixes: e47d9b1a76ed ("lib/crc_kunit.c: add KUnit test suite for CRC library functions")

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,
see "lib/crc: Prepare for arch-optimized code in subdirs of lib/crc/".
