Now that the oldest supported binutils version is 2.30, the macros that emit the SHA-512 instructions as '.inst' words are no longer needed. So drop them. No change in the generated machine code. Changed from the original patch by Ard Biesheuvel: (https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250515142702.2592942-2-ardb+git@xxxxxxxxxx): - Reduced scope to just SHA-512 - Added comment that explains why "sha3" is used instead of "sha2" Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This patch is targeting libcrypto-next lib/crypto/arm64/sha512-ce-core.S | 27 +++++++-------------------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/crypto/arm64/sha512-ce-core.S b/lib/crypto/arm64/sha512-ce-core.S index 7d870a435ea38..eaa485244af52 100644 --- a/lib/crypto/arm64/sha512-ce-core.S +++ b/lib/crypto/arm64/sha512-ce-core.S @@ -10,30 +10,17 @@ */ #include <linux/linkage.h> #include <asm/assembler.h> - .irp b,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 - .set .Lq\b, \b - .set .Lv\b\().2d, \b - .endr - - .macro sha512h, rd, rn, rm - .inst 0xce608000 | .L\rd | (.L\rn << 5) | (.L\rm << 16) - .endm - - .macro sha512h2, rd, rn, rm - .inst 0xce608400 | .L\rd | (.L\rn << 5) | (.L\rm << 16) - .endm - - .macro sha512su0, rd, rn - .inst 0xcec08000 | .L\rd | (.L\rn << 5) - .endm - - .macro sha512su1, rd, rn, rm - .inst 0xce608800 | .L\rd | (.L\rn << 5) | (.L\rm << 16) - .endm + /* + * While SHA-512 is part of the SHA-2 family of algorithms, the + * corresponding arm64 instructions are actually part of the "sha3" CPU + * feature.
