      crypto: x86/sha - load modules based on CPU features · 1c43c0f1
      Roxana Nicolescu authored
      x86 optimized crypto modules are built as modules rather than build-in and
      they are not loaded when the crypto API is initialized, resulting in the
      generic builtin module (sha1-generic) being used instead.
      
      It was discovered when creating a sha1/sha256 checksum of a 2Gb file by
      using kcapi-tools because it would take significantly longer than creating
      a sha512 checksum of the same file. trace-cmd showed that for sha1/256 the
      generic module was used, whereas for sha512 the optimized module was used
      instead.
      
      Add module aliases() for these x86 optimized crypto modules based on CPU
      feature bits so udev gets a chance to load them later in the boot
      process. This resulted in ~3x decrease in the real-time execution of
      kcapi-dsg.
      
      Fix is inspired from commit
      aa031b8f ("crypto: x86/sha512 - load based on CPU features")
      where a similar fix was done for sha512.
