commit 1c43c0f1f84aa59dfc98ce66f0a67b2922aa7f9d upstream.
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
aa031b8f702e ("crypto: x86/sha512 - load based on CPU features")
where a similar fix was done for sha512.

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.
