The arm64 NEON bit-sliced implementation of AES-CTR fails the improved
skcipher tests because it sometimes produces the wrong ciphertext. The
bug is that the final keystream block isn't returned from the assembly
code when the number of non-final blocks is zero. This can happen if
the input data ends a few bytes after a page boundary. In this case the
last bytes get "encrypted" by XOR'ing them with uninitialized memory.
Fix the assembly code to return the final keystream block when needed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
