As it turns out, the AVX2 multibuffer SHA routines are currently
broken [0], in a way that would have likely been noticed if this
code were in wide use. Since the code is too complicated to be
maintained by anyone except the original authors, and since the
performance benefits for real-world use cases are debatable to
begin with, it is better to drop it entirely for the moment.

Some ahash algorithms set .cra_type = &crypto_ahash_type. But this is
redundant with the C structure type ('struct ahash_alg'), and
crypto_register_ahash() already sets the .cra_type automatically.
Apparently the useless assignment has just been copy+pasted around.
So, remove the useless assignment from all the ahash algorithms.
This patch shouldn't change any actual behavior.

Many ahash algorithms set .cra_flags = CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AHASH. But this
is redundant with the C structure type ('struct ahash_alg'), and
crypto_register_ahash() already sets the type flag automatically,
clearing any type flag that was already there. Apparently the useless
assignment has just been copy+pasted around.

With all the crypto modules enabled on x86, and with a CPU that supports
AVX-2 but not SHA-NI instructions (e.g. Haswell, Broadwell, Skylake),
the "multibuffer" implementations of SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 are the
highest priority. However, these implementations only perform well when
many hash requests are being submitted concurrently, filling all 8 AVX-2
lanes. Otherwise, they are incredibly slow, as they waste time waiting
for more requests to arrive before proceeding to execute each request.
For example, here are the speeds I see hashing 4096-byte buffers with a
single thread on a Haswell-based processor:
generic avx2 mb (multibuffer)
------- -------- ----------------
sha1 602 MB/s 997 MB/s 0.61 MB/s
sha256 228 MB/s 412 MB/s 0.61 MB/s
sha512 312 MB/s 559 MB/s 0.61 MB/s
So, the multibuffer implementation is 500 to 1000 times slower than the
other implementations. Note that with smaller buffers or more update()s
per digest, the difference would be even greater.
I believe the vast majority of people are in the boat where the
multibuffer code is much slower, and only a small minority are doing the
highly parallel, hashing-intensive, latency-flexible workloads (maybe
IPsec on servers?) where the multibuffer code may be beneficial. Yet,
people often aren't familiar with all the crypto config options and so
the multibuffer code may inadvertently be built into the kernel.
Also the multibuffer code apparently hasn't been very well tested,
seeing as it was sometimes computing the wrong SHA-256 digest.
So, let's make the multibuffer algorithms low priority. Users who want
to use them can either request them explicitly by driver name, or use
NETLINK_CRYPTO (crypto_user) to increase their priority at runtime.

Current multi-buffer hash implementations have a restriction on the total
length of a hash job to 512MB. Hashing larger buffers will result in an
incorrect hash. This extends the limit to 2^62 - 1.

1. fix ctx pointer
Use req_ctx which is the ctx for the next job that have
been completed in the lanes instead of the first
completed job rctx, whose completion could have been
called and released.
2. fix digest copy
Use XMM register to copy another 16 bytes sha256 digest
instead of a regular register.

for condition comparison and cleanup multiline comment style
In sha*_ctx_mgr_submit, we currently use the | operator instead of ||
((ctx->partial_block_buffer_length) | (len < SHA1_BLOCK_SIZE))
Switching it to || and remove extraneous paranthesis to
adhere to coding style.
Also cleanup inconsistent multiline comment style.

This patch introduces the multi-buffer job manager which is responsible for
submitting scatter-gather buffers from several SHA256 jobs to the
multi-buffer algorithm. It also contains the flush routine to that's
called by the crypto daemon to complete the job when no new jobs arrive
before the deadline of maximum latency of a SHA256 crypto job.
The SHA256 multi-buffer crypto algorithm is defined and initialized in
this patch.
